The Rights of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) over His Ummah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Abu 'Abdullah, asks: What is our obligation toward our Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
Our obligation is immense. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has many rights over us. The first is acknowledging his message and that he is the Messenger of Allah to all people. The second is obeying him (peace and blessings be upon him) in what he commanded, believing him in what he reported, avoiding what he prohibited and warned against, and not worshipping Allah except by what He has prescribed. These are among the greatest rights of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He has many other rights, which Qadi 'Iyadh mentioned in his book al-Shifa fi Huquq al-Mushtafa (The Healing of the Rights of the Chosen One) (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him). Let whoever wants more of this refer to it. Yes.
