Beliefs About the Prophet (SAWW)

BELIEFS ABOUT THE PROPHETS
1.
Allah has sent many Prophets to guide mankind onto the rightpath. All
of them are all free from sins. Their actual number is known to Allah
alone. In order to establish their truthfulness, Allah enabled them to
do certain things which others could not do. Such acts are called
miracles (mu'jizaat).
The first Prophet is Aadam (alayhis salaam) and the last is Muhammad
(SAW). There were others in between these two. Some of them are
famous, such as: Nuh alayhis salaam, Ibrahimalayhis salaam, Is'haaq
alayhis salaam, Ismail alayhis salaam, Yaqub alayhis salaam, Yusuf
alayhis salaam, Daood alayhis salaam, Sulayman alayhis salaam, Ayyub
alayhis salaam, Musa alayhis salaam, Harun alayhis salaam, Zakariyyah
alayhis salaam, Yahya alayhis salaam, Isa alayhis salaam, Ilyas
alayhis salaam, al-Yasa' alayhis salaam, Yunus alayhis salaam, Lut
alayhis salaam, Idris alayhis salaam, Zul Kifl alayhis salaam, Salih
alayhis salaam, Hud alayhis salaam, and Shuayb alayhis salaam.
2.
Allah has not disclosed the exact number of Prophets to anyone.
Weshould therefore resolved to have faith in all the Prophets of
Allah, those that we know and those we have no knowledge of.
3.
The status of some Prophets is higher thanthat of others. The highest
status is that of our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. No
Prophet will come afterhim. He is the Prophet of all mankind and jinn
right until the day of qiyamah.
4.
Allah took our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam physically while he
was awake, from Makkah to Baitul Maqdis, and from there to the seven
heavens, and from there to wherever He wanted. He then sent him back
to Makkah. This journeyis known as the Mi'raj.
