What Have You Taken From The Prophet?

[Abu Fauzi]

As-Salaam alaikum,
Somewhere in his Qasidat al-Burda, Imam Muhammad al-Busayri, may Allah be Merciful to him, said:--

"Wa Kullun Min Rasulullahi Multamisan"... that is "Everything is taking [something]
from the Messenger of Allah"..Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam.


What is 'Kullun'?... It must refer to everything other than Allah... masuwallah... whatever is not Allah is extracting from the noor and wisdom of the Prophet, alaihis-Salaat Was-Salaam, from the Light that Allah Ta'ala put in his heart.

Everything: angels, Heavens, Kursee, 'Arsh is taking from the Prophet. That is why Imam al-Busayri said: "Wa Kullun Min Rasulullahi Multamisan".. he did not limit it to mankind. For further understanding, we may link this to ayat 4 of Surat Qalam of the Holy Qur'an (68:4), where Allah Ta'ala said:--

"Wa Innaka La'ala Khulqin Azheem... You are of the most Exalted Character."


When Ummil Mumineen, Sayyada A'isha, may Allah be pleased with her, was asked about the character of the Messenger of Allah, she answered: "His character was the Qur'an". And the Qur'an is Allah's Own Words.. not created. The Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, is created, but his Khuluq, character, was dressed in an uncreated way. That is why we say noor an-Nabi, his light was first to be dressed with the reality of the Holy Qur'an.

Let us, (we must) take something from the Noble Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam,..copying from his Compassion, Justice, Generosity, Modesty, Forgiveness......
