A seal sets a distinction from all
other things. Now a Seal among humans and prophets bring about the exquisite
perfection of such a being without whom, the example of leader and follower
would be in vain. A true leader is the one who not only guides his people in
the right path, but also set examples for them to follow; such examples which
are priceless if only these peoples put those actions into motion. The followership
emotion derived from such leadership is simply amazing and beyond definition.
If the Quran is a Book sent to
mankind; not only Muslims, then Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is also not only a
prophet for the Muslims alone. As a Bringer of good news and a Warner he came
like his brethrens from among the prophets of the past, including his ancestor
and patriarch Abraham (uhbp) to preach the words of God Almighty so that
humankind may reform and connect with their Maker. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came
as a light to shed to pieces the darkness of unfaith and immorality.
Talking and writing about him is
not enough. Each Muslim and seeker of truth has the duty to study his life and
derive the great teachings he taught for the perfecting of their own person, be
it at physical, moral and spiritual level. The teachings of Muhammad (pbuh) are
not new ones. All prophets of God preached the same message and all these
divine prophets received their share of sorrows at the hands of their own
people.
If we are alive today, it means we
have a duty towards our Maker and the Creator and Sender of the prophets so
that we may put into practice the one vital message they gave to their
respective nations and mankind, to turn in repentance to the Lord of the Worlds
without whom we are nothing, without Whom we would be annihilated, especially
in the present age we are living where chaos has surrendered the world from all
fronts.
Oh Muslims and Oh my fellow
brothers, sisters and children of the various faiths, let us be one for God
Almighty, if not for our own sake, let it be for the sake of that God who sent
your prophets and mine, such prophets whom Muslims have the absolute need to
believe in, as this constitutes our faith: to believe in all the prophets of
God Almighty. Let us be one for the One who sent us for a limited time on
earth. Each of us has a mission, and as soon as our work is accomplished we
shall depart from this world and leave it empty, for riches are nothing. Only
our deeds and intentions are to serve as our treasures in the balance of life.
