The heavens and the earth were not created for the sake of Muhammad (peace be upon him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q5: Is it true that the heavens and the earth were not created except for the sake of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?
A5: That is not correct. Rather, Allah the Exalted created the two groups, the jinn and mankind, to worship Him alone, with no partner for Him. He the Exalted said:[Adh-Dhariyat 51:56] And He the Exalted subjected what is in the heavens and what is on the earth to His servants. He the Exalted said: [Al-Jathiyah 45:13] the verse. And He created the heavens and the earth to show His servants the perfection of His knowledge and the perfection of His power, as He the Exalted said: [At-Talaq 65:12] . As for the hadith you referred to, it is fabricated and has no basis in truth, as the scholars of knowledge have pointed out, including al-Dhahabi . And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
A5: That is not correct. Rather, Allah the Exalted created the two groups, the jinn and mankind, to worship Him alone, with no partner for Him. He the Exalted said:
And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ إِلاَّ لِيَعْبُدُونِAnd He has subjected to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth - all from Him
وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمْ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا مِنْهُIt is Allah who has created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them. [His] command descends among them so you may know that Allah is over all things competent and that Allah has encompassed all things in knowledge.
اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَمِنَ الأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَـزَّلُ الأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا
