🌸5 Reasons Why Muhammad Didn’t Die for Muslims’ Sins
Why did not Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) die for the sins of Muslims? Is not he the mercy to all?
Indeed, Prophet Muhammad is a mercy for all peoples; yet he did not die for anybody’s sin. The simple reason is that Islam does not recognize the concept of the original sin. The following points explains that further:
First, Islam, unlike Christianity, does not teach a concept of “original sin”. Adam’s sin was his and his alone; and, according to the Quran[1], God forgave both Adam and Eve when they turned to God in repentance. Accordingly they were once again restored to divine mercy.
Hence there is no concept of Adam passing on to his progeny an original sin, and therefore no need for stipulating a redeemer for such sins.
Second, as there is no original sin, every one is born into a state of fitrah, a state of natural innocence. We acquire sin later by our own conscious and willful actions. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Every child is born into a state of fitrah (or natural state of innocence).”
It’s Original Mercy…Not Sin
Third, Islam teaches that God is All-Compassionate and All-Merciful; He is not bound by the rule of a blood sacrifice in order to forgive His servants.
To assume that God can forgive only by accepting a blood sacrifice and therefore to state that Jesus or Muhammad died for our sins is not acceptable in Islam. Allah says:
{O My servants who have wronged against their souls! Do not despair of Allah’s mercy! For Allah forgives all sins; for He is indeed Forgiving, Compassionate.
Turn to your Lord repentant, and submit to Him before the torment overtakes you when you shall not be helped.} (Az-Zumar: 53-54)
Fourth, Islam teaches that every individual is responsible for his/her own salvation. Not Abraham, or Moses, or Jesus, or Muhammad can save us; they are only capable of saving themselves through God’s grace. In the words of the Quran:
{Whoever commits a sin commits it only against himself. Allah is Knowing, Wise.} (An-Nisa’: 111);
{Allah does not charge a soul with more than it can bear. It shall be requited for whatever good and whatever it has done.} (Al-Baqarah: 286);
{Each soul earns only on its own account, nor does any laden (soul) bear another’s load.} (Al-An`am: 164)
{He who is rightly guided, it is for himself; and he who goes astray, it is to his own detriment. No soul can bear another’s burden.} (Al-Isra’: 15)
Fifth, everyone, male or female, can directly approach God without any intermediary of a prophet, saint or priest. God is closer to us than our own jugular veins. Almighty Allah says in the Quran:
{We created man, and We know the promptings of his soul, and We are nearer to him than his own jugular vein.} (Qaf: 16)
{When My servants ask you about Me, tell them I am nigh, ready to answer the prayer of the suppliant when he/she prays to Me; therefore let them respond to Me and believe in Me, that they may be rightly guided.} (Al-Baqarah: 186)
So the entire concept of someone dying for our sins is inimical to the Islamic world-view or understanding of the natures of man and God. Islam beckons us all to respond to God’s message and receive His grace and salvation through faith, good works and leading a responsible moral and ethical life.

#السؤال_الحادي_والسبعون_لماذا_المرأة_لا_تكون_إمام_بالصلاة.
to answer your question simply and clear, you have to know that Allah allow and prevent things basing on what is good for us, its not just random rules.
The woman does not lead others in prayer, which means she can not be 'Imam', because she is not all the time ready (Women does not pray during her period/after giving birth ect ..), so for this reason, she cant lead, and once she cant lead, means she will be led by the opposite gender, so its logic that women will follow them by being after them during salat, and its because males and females does not mix together, and for a woman to watch a man praying in front of her, does not harm as if a woman pray, bow and prostrate in front of a man, ... so for this reason, women stands up behind the men during Salat, and basicly at any gathering.

#السؤال_الثاني_والسبعون_لماذا_جاء_النبي_محمد_بعد_عيسي؟
Why Did Prophet Muhammad Come After Jesus?
Short Answer: Mostly because the true message of Jesus was lost with time. Jesus and Muhammad taught the same basic idea: worship God alone, be a good person, be just and generous and helpful and stand on the side of the oppressed. But over time, his message was corrupted by people like Paul. It’s the Paulified …
No negative feelings, but loving pity for the widespread misconception and lack of information on what Islam and its prophet are all about.
Jesus: For the People of Israel Only. Muhammad: All Mankind
While Jesus (peace be upon him) was sent specifically to the Israelites, Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent to all humanity.
According to the Gospels,
“But he [Jesus] answered and said, ‘I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.’” (Matthew 15:24)
In contrast, the Quran declares the universal message of Islam.
The Quran says what means:
Say: “O people! surely I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, of Him Whose is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; there is no god but He; He brings to life and causes to die; therefore believe in Allah and His Messenger, the illiterate Prophet who believes in Allah and His words, and follow him so that you may walk in the right way.” (Quran 7:158)
The Original Message Of Jesus
Jesus, a human monotheistic prophet, repeatedly called people to worship God and warned those who ascribed partners to Him:
Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and Him Only.’ (Matthew 4:10)
“The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.’” (Mark 12:29)
Jesus emphasized his own humanity:
[As it is, you are determined to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God.] (John 8:40)
[By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear.] (John 5:30)
Jesus never claimed to be God, or part of a God. He never mentioned Trinity, nor did he appoint a church to entrust itself with reshaping the faith and re-inventing the law.
The deviation started with Paul and some others—leaders, clergy, and philosophers—centuries after Jesus’s departure.
Christianity Today= Paulianity
Christianity as we know it today was re-formulated with its concepts of:
– Trinity , centered around the prophet Jesus who was thenceforth called God, begotten son of God
– The sacrosanct Church of Christ, talking and enacting laws in the name of God
– The story of crucifixion and resurrection from the dead
– Original sin and atonement
Read for example, according to Paul (NIV):
“At once he [Paul]began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God.” (Acts 9:20)
“Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel…” (2 Timothy 2:8)
Pauline Christianity Originated in Pagan Beliefs
Most of these distortions were borrowed or coined from earlier pagan creeds.
Close similarities can be found between this Pauline Christianity and Mithraism, Buddhism, and ancient Egyptian polytheist creeds.
During the seventh century CE when Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent, there were only a few groups of followers of the original message and teachings of Jesus.
The Injeel revealed to Jesus no longer existed in any form , as was the case of the Tawrah of Moses before him.
They were replaced with the Old and New Testaments written by different human authors selected and sanctioned as holy by the Church ecumenical councils, several centuries after the departure of Jesus.
It was high time then to re-establish the eternal guidance of the Creator to all humanity, but this time in a final eternal form, through the Glorious Quran and the detailed teachings and living model of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Jesus prophesied the coming prophet whose universal message will stay forever:
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— ” (John 14:16)

#السؤال_الثالث_والسبعون_شبهة_الجهاد.
1_The True Meaning of "Jihad"
Jihad is usually associated with Islam and Muslims, but in fact, the concept of Jihad is found in all religions including Christianity, Judaism and political/economic ideologies, such as, Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, etc. Islam defines Jihad as striving and strugglingfor improvement as well as fighting back to defend one's self, honor, assets and homeland.Also, Jihad is interpreted as the struggle against evil, internal or external of a person or a society.Jihad, in Islam, means doing any or all but not limited to the following:
Learn, teach, and practice Islam in all aspects of one's life at all times to reach the highest and best education in order to benefit oneself, family and society.
Be a messenger of Islam everywhere, in every behavior and action.
Fight evil, wrongdoing, and injustice with all one's power by one's hand (action), with one's tongue (speech), or at least with one's heart (prayer).
Respond to the call for Jihad with money, effort, wisdom and life;yet, never fight a Muslim brother, a Muslim country, or a non-Muslim society that respects its treaties and harbors no aggressive designs against Islam or Muslims.
Suicide under any pretext is not condoned as Jihad in Islam.
Converting people to Islam by force or coercion is never Jihad but a crime, punishable by law.
The word Jihad does not mean “Holy War”.It means “struggle” or “striving”.The word for war in the Qur'an is “Harb” or “Qital”.Jihad means serious and sincere struggle on the personal as wellason the social level.It is a struggle to do good and to remove injustice, oppression and evil from the society.This struggle should be spiritual as well as social, economic and political.Jihad is to work hard to do right things.Inthe Qur'an this word is used in its different forms 33 times.It often comes with other Qur'anic concepts such as faith, repentance, righteous deeds and migration.
Jihad is to protect one's faith and one's human rights.Jihad is not a war always although it can take the form of war.Islam is the religion of peace, but it does not mean that Islam accepts oppression.Islam teaches that one should do one's utmost to eliminate tension and conflict.Islam promotes non-violent means to bring change and reform.Actually, Islam urges that one should eliminate evil through peaceful means without the use of force as much as possible.In Islamic history from the time of theProphet(peace and blessings be upon him) until now, Muslims most of the time resisted oppression and struggled for liberation in non-violent and peaceful manners.
Islam teaches proper ethics in the situation of war also.The war is permissible in Islam, but only when other peaceful means such as dialogue, negotiations and treaties fail.It is a last resort and should be avoided as much as possible.Its purpose isnotto convert people by force, or to colonize people or to acquire land or wealth or for self-glory.Its purpose is basically: defense of life, property, land, honor and freedom for oneself as well as defense of others from injustice andoppression.
Prophet Muhammad , peace and blessings be upon him said something amazing which i'd like all non muslims to know:
"Whoever killed a person having a treaty of protection with the Muslims, and who enjoys the guarantee of Allah and His Messenger, he will have spoiled the guarantee of Allah [for him]. He shall not smell the scent of Paradise though its smell is perceived from a distance of seventy years."
Source: Sahih Bukhari 6516
"On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land. (Noble Quran 5:32)"

Then although there came to them Our apostles with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land. (Noble Quran 5:32)"
2_Jihad is not terrorism:
It is to be emphasized that terrorism against the innocent civilians, whether through aggression or suicidal means, is under no circumstances permissible in Islam. Islam encourages the oppressed people to struggle for their liberation and it commands other Muslims to help those who are oppressed and suffering, but Islam does not allow, under any circumstance, terrorism against non-combatants and innocent people. Terrorism is not Jihad, it is Fasad (mischief). It is against the teachings of Islam. There are some people who use their twisted arguments to justify terrorism for their causes, but it has no justification: Allah says: (When it is said to them: ‘Make not mischief on the earth,’ they say: ‘Why, we only want to correct things.’ Indeed they are the mischief doers, but they realize (it) not.) (Al-Baqarah 2: 11-12)
Islam wants to establish a world order where all human beings – Muslims and non-Muslims – can live with justice in peace, harmony and good will. It gives its followers full guidelines to find peace in their personal and social lives, but it also tells them how to extend the good will on the basis of human relations towards others. Muslims worked under these principles for centuries. People of many faiths lived with them and among them. Islamic societies were known for their tolerance, generosity and humanity.
🍃The basic rules of war in Islam are:
1. Be strong so that your enemy fear you and should not attack you.
2. Do not begin the hostilities. Work for peace as much as possible.
3. Fight only those who fight, no collective punishment; non-combatants should not be harmed. Weapons of mass destruction should not be used.
4. Stop hostilities as soon as the other party is inclined to peace.
5. Observe the treaties and agreements as long as the enemy observes them.
Allah says very clearly: (Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not do aggression, for Allah loves not the aggressors.) (Al-Baqarah 2: 190)
(The prohibited month, for the prohibited month, and so for all things prohibited, there is the law of equality. If then any one transgresses the prohibition against you, transgress ye likewise against him. But fear Allah, and know that Allah is with those who restrain themselves.) (Al-Baqarah 2: 194)
🍃The reason for "Jihad" Noble Verses:
The so-called "Jihad" Noble Verses came for specific times and places.They don't apply for all times and everybody!I can't slay you, a non-Muslim, just because you're not a Muslim.The pagan Arabs were very hostile people and only knew the sword as an answer.Many wars were imposed upon the Muslims, and thus, it is only normal and natural to find Noble Verses that deal with these specific hostile situations.But the Message of the Noble Quran is PEACE, as clearly proven in Noble Verses 2:190, 8:61 and 5:28 above.
It is to be emphasized that terrorism against the innocent civilians, whether through aggression or suicidal means, is under no circumstances permissible in Islam.

3_Peace and War in Islam:
First of all, Islam is the religion of peace, mercy and affection as Allah the almighty said: "And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds. (21:107)" Al-Anbiyaa
Quran ordered Muslims not to fight those who don't fight and it didn't prevent us to treat them well. God the almighty said:
"Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.(8)Allah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers".(9)
Almumtahana(60:8-9)
So, it's clear that people who don't have the intention to fight Muslims must be treated fairly and kindly. Beside that, Islam legislated that if those who fight Muslims incline to peace, then Muslims also must incline to peace too and stop fighting them and to rely upon Allah.
Allah the almighty said: "And if they incline to peace, then incline to it [also] and rely upon Allah. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Knowing. Al-Anfal(8:61).
Islam ordered to fight those who try to undermine the sacredness of Islam and those who try to prevent disseminating the message of Islam with force.
By this act they are declaring war against Muslims. In this case, fighting them is a religious obligation on every Muslim.
Islam also stated some laws of war that were known and applied by Muslims only. Ethics of war which were legislated by Islam, were never mentioned or stated in any other religion or nation. 👍Only Islam forbade the killing of women who are not involved in fighting and it also forbade the killing of children and elderly people🔽
The Prophet PBUH said: "Go in Allah's name, aided by Allah, and adhering to the religion of Allah's Apostle. Do not kill a decrepit old man, or an infant, or a child, or a woman; do not be dishonest about booty, but collect your spoils, do right and act well, for Allah loves those who do well".
They mentioned that a woman was killed in one of the prophet's military expedition so prophet Mohammad PBUH forbade killing women and children.
Islam also ordered to treat prisoners of war kindly and not to kill them.
Mercy and forgiveness in Islam were highly demonstrated in the prophet's attitude towards the people of Mecca who expelled him from Mecca, he only said to them when he triumphed
over them again what prophet Joseph had said to his brothers:
"No blame lies on you today". Go, you are free!!
First of all, Islam is the religion of peace, mercy and affection as Allah the almighty said: "And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds. (21:107)" Al-Anbiyaa
Quran ordered Muslims not to fight those who don't fight and it didn't prevent us to treat them well. God the almighty said:
"Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.(8)Allah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers".(9)
Almumtahana(60:8-9)
So, it's clear that people who don't have the intention to fight Muslims must be treated fairly and kindly. Beside that, Islam legislated that if those who fight Muslims incline to peace, then Muslims also must incline to peace too and stop fighting them and to rely upon Allah.
Allah the almighty said: "And if they incline to peace, then incline to it [also] and rely upon Allah. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Knowing. Al-Anfal(8:61).
Islam ordered to fight those who try to undermine the sacredness of Islam and those who try to prevent disseminating the message of Islam with force.
By this act they are declaring war against Muslims. In this case, fighting them is a religious obligation on every Muslim.
Islam also stated some laws of war that were known and applied by Muslims only. Ethics of war which were legislated by Islam, were never mentioned or stated in any other religion or nation. 👍Only Islam forbade the killing of women who are not involved in fighting and it also forbade the killing of children and elderly people🔽
The Prophet PBUH said: "Go in Allah's name, aided by Allah, and adhering to the religion of Allah's Apostle. Do not kill a decrepit old man, or an infant, or a child, or a woman; do not be dishonest about booty, but collect your spoils, do right and act well, for Allah loves those who do well".
They mentioned that a woman was killed in one of the prophet's military expedition so prophet Mohammad PBUH forbade killing women and children.
Islam also ordered to treat prisoners of war kindly and not to kill them.
Mercy and forgiveness in Islam were highly demonstrated in the prophet's attitude towards the people of Mecca who expelled him from Mecca, he only said to them when he triumphed
over them again what prophet Joseph had said to his brothers:
"No blame lies on you today". Go, you are free!!
4_War and Peace in Christianity:
If you want to know the most violent examples of treachery, barbarity and sadism then Christianity would be the perfect example. Here is some of what Jesus of love said.
Luke 12:49-53 “I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five persons in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
Luke 19:27 " But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me".
Ezekiel 9:6 Slaughter the old men, the young men and women, the mothers and children, but do not touch anyone who has the mark.
Hosea 13:16 "The people of Samaria must bear their guilt,
because they have rebelled against their God.
They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open.”[b]
Deuteronomy 3:6-7 "We completely destroyed[a] them, as we had done with Sihon king of Heshbon, destroying[b] every city—men, women and children. 7 But all the livestock and the plunder from their cities we carried off for ourselves".
Deuteronomy 2:31-34 "31 The Lord said to me, “See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land.”
32 When Sihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle at Jahaz, 33 the Lord our God delivered him over to us and we struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army. 34 At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed[c] them—men, women and children. We left no survivors".
Jos 6:21 "They turned over everyone in the city for destruction and executed them, including both men and women, young and old, and oxen, sheep, and donkeys".

#السؤال_الرابع_والسبعون_لماذا_ذكر_محمد_في_لفظ_الشهادة؟
Why Is Prophet Muhammad Mentioned in the Shahadah?
There are mainly two aspects of the significance of the second part of the Shahadah, namely: “Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of Allah”.
Prophet Muhammad Came With the Final Revelation
First: Allah Almighty is the Transcendental Creator and Sustainer of the universe, Who does not ‘materialize’ or appear before us.
We learn about Allah and His guidance through the Messenger who Allah Himself chose.
This applies to all the Messengers of Allah, not only to Muhammad (peace be upon him).
But, Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Final Messenger of Allah who came to coordinate, confirm and complete the earlier messages.
So he is not just one messenger among many; rather he represents all the Messengers of Allah before him.
Actually Muhammad fulfills and revalidates all the earlier messages through his mission. Thus, he stands for the completion of Allah’s guidance for mankind.
Prophet Muhammad Was The Living Quran
Second: God’s guidance is not just for our academic study, but for our applying it in space and time.
The role of Prophet Muhammad is not merely to teach us, but to practically demonstrate to us how we can live by God’s guidance.
This means that the Quran is, as it were, the ‘theory’; and the Sunnah (the example of Prophet Muhammad) is the ‘practical form’ of that theory.
Islam affirms and underscores the importance of the Quran (the precept) and the Sunnah (the example) together.
This points to the fact that it is not enough for us just to ‘worship’ God as an ascetic devotee would; but also to live here as members of human society, making use of the blessings God has given us, and observing the limits set by God.
For this purpose, we need a practical model who would not only convey God’s message to us, but also LIVE that message here below, as God wants us to live it.
You may know the Gospel verse that is generally misinterpreted by the Christians about Jesus: “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father” (John 14:9).
Jesus said this in answer to Philip’s demand to see God.we humans cannot see God; we can only see God’s human messenger.
This messenger’s duty is not only to convey to us the word of God revealed to him, but also to demonstrate to people how one can lead a life of unconditional submission to God’s will; seen in the spirit of Jesus’ famous words of complete surrender to God’s will: “Not as I will, but as You will!” (Matthew 26:39)
To Follow Prophet Muhammad is to Obey Allah
In short, the two parts of the Shahadah are like the two sides of the same coin: One part states one’s acceptance of the One True God, which relates to one’s faith and conviction, which is inward.
The other states one’s acceptance of God’s Messenger on earth, which relates to one’s commitment to live in obedience to God’s commandments, which expresses itself in one’s outward life as lived daily.
That is why Allah in the Noble Quran commands:
You who believe! Obey Allah and His Apostle… (Quran 8:20)
Say: “If you do love Allah, Follow me: Allah will love you and forgive you your sins… (Quran 3:31)
He who obeys the Apostle, obeys Allah… (Quran 4:80)
These verses make clear that the acceptance of the Prophet is the acceptance of Allah.
This is because it is the Prophet who received the Noble Quran and brought it then to people.
So, any person who questions the Prophet, is actually questioning Allah and His Quran.
Hence, the affirmation of the prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the natural corollary of the declaration of faith in Allah.
In other words, the second part of the Shahadah derives its significance from the first; so it becomes incumbent on any one who accepts the first part of the Shahadah, to accept the second part, too.
And Allah knows best.

#السؤال_الخامس_والسبعون_من_أفضل_عيسي_أم_محمد؟
Jesus Better or Muhammad... Is It the Right Question? | About Islam.
We are not here to compare Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them both), because in our religion we are forbidden to compare Prophets in order to see who is superior, especially that type of comparison that involves undermining the status of the other, which is what you have done. You could not prove the superiority of Jesus (peace be upon him) over God’s creation except by impugning our Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). This is not acceptable in our religion, even if the other party is of a lower standing. As for impugning any of the Prophets, any Muslim who does that commits an act of disbelief that puts him beyond the pale of Islam. Our religion preserves the dignity of the Prophets and Messengers, holds them in high esteem and makes believing in all of them one of the pillars of faith; the one who does not believe even in one of the Prophets is not a Muslim. Our religion only speaks well of the Prophets and Messengers. In His holy Book, the Qur’an, Allah, may He be exalted, mentions their worship and praises it, and He mentions their supplication, their fear of Him, their calling their people to faith, enjoining upon them what is right and forbidding to them what is wrong. There is nothing in the Book of Allah, may He be exalted, or in the Sunnah of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) that speaks ill of any of them; rather, according to both sources, it is obligatory to venerate them and hold them in high esteem.
Comparing and contrasting Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them both) is not something to be sought in our religion, and it is not appropriate for you to do that either. The reason is that we are commanded to follow the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and – before that – to testify that he is the Messenger of Allah, and this has nothing to do with whether he is the best of God’s creation or not. This is not only in our religion; rather every people to whom a messenger was sent by their Lord was instructed to believe in their Messenger and follow him, even if he was not the best of God’s creation. Is it a stipulation that a Prophet should be the best of God’s creation? What would be the situation of previous nations for whom, in one era, a great number of Prophets and Messengers existed? We do not testify that our Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah because he is the best of God’s creation, and he himself did not say “follow me because I am the best of God’s creation.” Rather we know (about him being the best of God’s creation) because Allah, may He be exalted, has raised him in status. We will quote in support of that a verse, an incident and a hadith.
1.The verse:
This is the verse in which Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And (remember) when Allah took the Covenant of the Prophets, saying: ‘Take whatever I gave you from the Book and Hikmah (understanding of the Laws of Allah, etc.), and afterwards there will come to you a Messenger (Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)) confirming what is with you; you must, then, believe in him and help him.’ Allah said: ‘Do you agree (to it) and will you take up My Covenant (which I conclude with you)?’ They said: ‘We agree.’ He said: ‘Then bear witness; and I am with you among the witnesses (for this)’”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:81].
This is a promise and a covenant that Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, took from all the Prophets, that they would believe in Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and that they would support him in his call.
2.The incident
This was when our Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) led all the Prophets in prayer. That happened during his journey that is called al-Isra’ wa’l-Mi‘raaj (the Night Journey [from Makkah to Jerusalem] and Ascent into the heavens)]. He led all of them in prayer in Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem).

He led all of them in prayer in Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem).
If this is not indicative of his virtue
And superiority, then we do not know of anything else that could point to that.
3.The hadith
This is the saheeh (sound) report that was narrated from him, in which he spoke of what will happen on the Day of Resurrection when all the Prophets (blessings and peace of Allah be upon them) will refuse to intercede for the people for judgement to be passed among them. They will excuse themselves, each of them saying, “Myself, myself”, but Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) will come forward to intercede in what is known as the great intercession, saying: “I am able for it, I am able for it.” Then his Lord, may He be exalted, will honour him by accepting his intercession for the people of that gathering. That will be the station of praise and glory (al-maqaam al-mahmoud) that Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, will not bestow upon any human except him (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him).
These are some of the proofs from our religious teachings that highlight the superiority of the Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) above his fellow Prophets (peace be upon them all), and they themselves would not deny that. Moosa (Moses – peace be upon him) acknowledged that in a hadith that is saheeh (sound) in our view. ‘Eesaa (Jesus – peace be upon him) will refuse to lead the Muslims in prayer; rather he will be content to pray behind an imam (of the Muslims), because he will adhere to the solemn pledge and covenant that Allah, may He be exalted, took from him. When he descends at the end of time, he will kill the pigs, break the cross and pray behind a Muslim imam.
All these things are proven in the soundest of our books – al-Bukhaari and Muslim – along with veneration of ‘Eesa (Jesus – peace be upon him) and mention of the bonds between him and Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). Look at the following hadith:
The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “I am the closest of people to ‘Eesa ibn Maryam (Jesus son of Mary) in this world and the hereafter. The Prophets are brothers from the same father; their mothers are different but their religion is one.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari and Muslim.
What this hadith means is that the origin of the Prophets’ faith is one, but their laws differ.
According to what you say in your question, you think that there is a gap between the other Prophets and Messengers and our Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), but this is not the case at all. Rather they are all brothers who brought the same message, which is the call to worship Allah, may He be exalted, alone and not to ascribe any partners to Him.
