In
the same way that Allah is the Lord and Creator of everything (al-Alameen), the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is a mercy and
blessing for everything (al-Alameen).
Verily
in the (Qur'an) is a Message for people who would (truly)
worship Allah. (O beloved prophet!) We
sent you not but as a mercy and blessing for the entire
universe (al-Alameen). Say: "What has come to me
by inspiration is that your Allah is One Allah: will ye
therefore bow to His Will (in Islam)?" [Holy
Qur'an 21:106-108]
Lifeless
Objects Testify To His Prophethood:
The
Holy Prophet said, "I have been sent as a prophet for all
of Allah's creation," (Muslim)
1.
A villager came to the Holy Prophet and said, "what proof
can you give me that you are a true prophet?" The Holy
Prophet replied, "If I call that bunch of dates from that
date-palm tree, it will come to me and testify that I am Allah's
(true) prophet." The holy Prophet then called it. That
bunch of dates began to come down the palm tree and fell at the
Holy Prophet's feet. Then the Holy Prophet commanded it to
return to its place. The bunch of dates then returned to its
original place on the palm tree. (Having seen the miracle,
the villager accepted Islam). (Tirmizi)
2.
Hazrat Ali (R.A.) says that I once accompanied the Holy Prophet
on a journey outside Makkah. Every tree and stone that we
passed said aloud, "Assalaamu aliaka ya Rasoolallah!"
(blessings and salutations upon you O Holy Prophet!) (Tirmizi)
3.
Once the Holy Prophet said to a disbeliever, "Testify that
none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad
(pbuh) is His (noble) servant and prophet." The disbeliever
said, "Who will testify to what you say?" The Holy
Prophet replied "That tree which is before us." The
Holy Prophet called the tree. Pulling its roots from the ground,
the tree advanced until it was present before the Holy Prophet.
It then testified three times that the Holy Prophet was indeed
Allah's true prophet in clear audible human words! Then it
returned to its original place at the Holy Prophet's command.
(Mishkat)
Mercy is for
those who fear Allah and do good:
Do
no mischief on the earth after it hath been set in order but
call on Him with fear and longing (in your hearts): for the
mercy of Allah is (always) near to those who do good.
[Holy Qur'an 7:56]
Mercy
is for those who fear Allah and believe in the Holy Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh):
O
ye that believe! fear Allah and believe in His apostle and He
will bestow on you a double portion of His Mercy: He will
provide for you a light by which ye shall walk (straight in
your path) and He will forgive you (your past): For Allah is
Oft-Forgiving. Most Merciful [Holy Qur'an
57:28]
No guidance is
shown to those who choose to follow their own vain desires:
Then
seest thou such a one as takes as his god his own vain desire?
Allah has knowing (him as such) left him astray and sealed His
hearing and his heart (and understanding) and put a cover on
his sight. Who then will guide him after Allah (has withdrawn
Guidance)? Will ye not then receive admonition?
[Holy Qur'an 45:3]
Mercy will be
shown to those who believed and did righteous deeds, and no one
will be there to help those who rejected Allah:
Then
as to those who believed and did righteous deeds their Lord
will admit them to His Mercy: that will be the Achievement for
all to see. But as to those who reject Allah (to them will be
said): "Were not Our Signs rehearsed to you? But ye were
arrogant and were a people given to sin! [Holy
Qur'an 45:30-31]
Allah
has kept 99% of his Mercy with himself, and will use this on the
Day of Resurection on those who believed in him and followed the
Messenger.
Allah's
Apostle (peace be upon him) said: There are one hundred (parts
of) mercy of Allah and He has sent down out of these one part of
mercy upon the jinn and human beings and the insects and it is
because of this (one part) that they love one another, show
kindness to one another and even the beast treats its young one
with affection, and Allah has reserved ninety-nine parts of
mercy with which He would treat His servants on the Day of
Resurrection. (Bukhari)
Believers who
have sinned will be saved by the Grace and Mercy of Allah:
A
man will come before Allah on the day of Judgment and will be
asked "What have you brought with you?". The man will
say "I have brought with me the recitations of
two-hundred-and-fifty Qur'ans". Allah will say "It is
not accepted. Not one of them". Allah will again ask him
and the man will say "I have prayed fives times a
day". Allah will again say "It is not accepted".
Again Allah will ask him and he will say "I have fasted
during the month of Ramadan". Allah will reply again
"It is not accpeted". The man will begin to shiver
with fear and will finally say "I came here in the hope
that Allah will forgive me through his Mercy". Allah will
say to him "It is accepted from you. your sins are
forgiven, go and enter paradise". (Hadith)

I
bear Witness that there is no deity but Allah who has no
partner and I bear witness that Muhammad, peace be upon
him, is the servant and messenger of Allah.
