There are three remarkable and universal guides that help us come to know our Lord intimately and nurture our heartfelt love for Him:
The Book of the Universe, which acts as a mirror reflecting the Unique One of Absolute Unity, showcasing all the living and non-living masterpieces of Divine art.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), who stands as the source of pride for all living and sentient beings, whose very existence serves as the cause for the creation of everything, and whose life is akin to a page of the Book of the Universe written in diamonds.
The illustrious Qur’an, the Word of the All-Compassionate and the All-Merciful God.
Now, let’s delve into how the Messenger of God provides evidence of the existence and Oneness of God (may His glory be exalted).
The Last Prophet, who brought the message of boundless happiness to humanity, holds an exalted position:
- The entire world resembles his mosque.
- Mecca stands as the mihrab where he led prayers.
- Medina is akin to the pulpit from which he delivered sermons, offering guidance with words steeped in profound compassion and impact.
He is the leader of the faithful.
He is the head of the Prophets.
He is the cherished blossom in the hearts of God’s beloved ones.
He is the foremost and most perfect human, the dearest to our Lord, leading the circle of remembrance, which includes thousands of Prophets and millions of saints.
Imagine him as a tree:
- All other Prophets are the living roots.
- Saints, who are God’s close friends and confidants, represent the fresh fruits.
All the Prophets, through their awe-inspiring miracles, and all the saints, through their extraordinary spiritual experiences, bear witness to his teachings.
When he proclaims, “La ilaha illallah” (There is no deity but God), 124,000 Prophets and 124 million saints also declare, “La ilaha illallah.” It’s like they’re all saying, “You’re absolutely right!”
Is it conceivable that these guides, who shine as the stars of humanity, who neither deceive nor are deceived, could speak falsehoods?
