For example, they are at the same time, prophets, messengers, recipients of revelation, divine appointees, arbiters, teachers, and missionaries. Each of these functions is like a priceless jewel which excites and elicits happiness. People are enamoured by them and their hearts recognise that the conduct [of God’s chosen servants] emanates from a greater power. For the moment, let us proceed to consider the Holy Prophet sa in his capacity as a recipient of revelation, whereby he excelled over all of humanity and the entire gallery of prophets. 15 I seek refuge with Allah from Satan the accursed. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. We praise Allah, the Exalted, the Greatest, and we invoke His blessings on His Holy Messenger sa. By the grace and mercy of God Almighty — He alone is the Helper. [Publishers]
