The Prophet is the means of blessings and elimination of calamities

Hadith 58: Immediately after Abdullah Bin Salam RadiaAllaho Anhu accepted Islam, he said
the Prophet ; “Indeed I find the details of the Prophet in the Torah, ‘O Prophet! We
have sent you as a witness and a giver of glad tidings and a clear Warner’(till)‘and Allah will
not take away that Prophet until the people do not say ‘LailahaillAllah’, and through whom
the blind eyes, the deaf ears and hearts covered with veils, are not opened.”1 (Tabrani, Abu
Na’eem in al-Dala’il and Ibn Asakir narrate from Muhammad bin Hamza bin Yusuf bin
Abdullah Bin Salam, who narrates from his father, who narrates from his grandfather. Ibn
Asakir also narrates through Zaid bin Aslam from Abdullah Bin Salam. Darami and
Baiyhaqi narrate through Ata’ bin Yasar. He also has other chains, which will be mentioned
in the next chapter).

Hadith 59: (Ibn Abi Hatim narrates from Wahab bin Munabbah RadiAllaho Anhu). Allah sent
down a revelation to Sha’ya Alaihis Salaam saying; “I will send an Ummi Prophet by whom I
will open the blind eyes, the deaf ears and the hearts which are covered by veils. It is through
him that I will give guidance after misguidance, knowledge after ignorance, give dignity after
impertinence. It is through him that I will give gratitude after indecency. I will give (people)
more after giving less, will make (people) wealthy after poverty…. I will remove sorrow and
grief through his medium and will join hearts of the dispersed nations.”2

Ah! Where is justice?! How much elimination of the calamities is this through the blessings
of the Prophet !

Hadith 60: (al-Rafi’i narrates from Salman RadiAllaho Anhu). The Messenger of Allah
has said; “When Allah created the Arsh (throne), He wrote with a enlightened pen, whose
length is that between the east and the west, ‘There is none worthy of worship except Allah
Muhammad is His Messenger. I will take and give because of him and the best among his
nation is going to be Abu Bakr Siddiq.”3

All praise to Allah! We can finish this section of Ahadith by this hadith illustrating the fact
that all the transactions that take place by Allah are through the Wasila of the Prophet .
This is called the Khilafa Uzma- The great vicegerent.

Look…!

By the sayings of Allah and his Prophet , receiving sustenance, the rain fall, the
elimination of calamities, victory over the enemies, the repelling of the punishments up to the
extent that the firmness of this earth, looking after the earth, the life and death of the
creations, the respect and honour of Islam, the custody of the Ummah, the fulfilment of the
needs of the Ummah and seeking tranquillity and peace, all happens through the blessings
and medium Awliya Allah. So how can believing that the Prophet is the remover of calamities
be classed as Shirk?

And Alhamdulillah! The last three Hadiths illustrated the fact that the Prophet is the
remover of the calamities and whatever Allah gives and takes is in the hands of His beloved
Messenger . I swear by Allah! Let alone a calamity, the whole universe and its
establishment is due to him. The whole universe is dependant upon him; similarly its
steadfastness is dependant upon this great Messenger of Allah, Mercy of the worlds . (“If I
was not to create you I wouldn’t have created the universe”4). If he were to be removed in
between then it would cause the universe to disintegrate.

“Wo jo na the to kuch na tha…Wo jo na ho to kuch na ho

Jaan hai wo jahan ki…jaan hai to jahan hai!5

“When he was not there nothing existed…if he is not there nothing will exist

He is the life for the whole creation…if the life is there then there will the creation.”

SallAllahu Alaihi Wa Sallam wa ‘Ala Alihi wa Sahbihi Wa Baraka Wa karam.

Chapter II

(Forty-four verses of the holy Qur’an, two hundred and forty Ahadith on the second reason;
and see how these shatter the foundations of the Wahhabis)

Part I
(The Verses of the Qur’an)

Allah has made his beloved Prophet prosperous

Verse 7: “And what they felt bad, only that Allah and His Messenger have enriched them out
of His grace.” (al-Tauba 9:74)

Indeed, it is at this place that the hearts of those ill hearted tremble! Allah said that He and
His Messenger have enriched others through their grace…O Messenger of Allah! Enrich me
and all the Muslims of Ahlus Sunnah with your grace… .

“Me Gada Tu Badsha Bhar De Piyala Noor Ka

Noor Din Duna Tera De Daal Sadqa Noor ka”6

Verse 8: “How good it would had been, if they would have pleased with what Allah and His
Messenger had given them and would have said, ‘Sufficient for us is Allah. Now Allah is to
give us of His Bounty and so the Messenger of Allah. To Allah only we lean’ .” (Al-Tauba
9:59)

Allah Almighty has also mentioned His beloved Prophet as the one who gave and at the
same time Allah had made it clear that one should always have hope in Allah and His
Messenger that they will grant him their bounties.
