The Status of the Messenger and His Rights
This is unique work is especially needed in our times, when the noble Messenger of Islaam is being attacked and slandered in popular media. It serves as a reminder to the Muslim about the lofty status that Allaah the Glorified and Exalted has given His Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). Amongst the other issues, the author propounds his (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) noble character, excellent appearance, bravery, compassion and knowledge of Allaah.
From the Introduction: Indeed, the noble Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) has a great rank, and a high status that none from the creation has attained, for indeed he will be the leader of the children of Aadam (alayhis salaam) on the Day of Resurrection; Aadam (alayhis-salaam) will be under his leadership. He has been bestowed ash-shafaa’udhmaa (the great intercession) from which the Messengers (alayhimus-salaam) will excuse themselves and it has been singled out for him by Allaah, and Allaah has chosen him over the rest of the creation for it. Certainly, His Lord the Glorified and Exalted honoured him with noble qualities that were not given to any of the Messengers before him, and all of them have a lofty station with Allaah.End of Shaykh Rabee’s words.
