Who is the friend of Allah? Abraham(pbuh) or Muhammed(pbuh)?

[M H Kahn]

We are told in the Quran that the humans will find no friend and protector but Allah. That is, Allah is the friend and protector of all believing people. But our so many scholars often portrait Muhammed(pbuh) in such a way as if he is the only friend of Allah. But there is nothing like this in the Quran, where Allah has told specifically about Abraham(pbuh) that He took him for a friend: "Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to God, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For God did take Abraham for a friend. ​

Mohammad (saw) is habeeballah, and he has a greater closeness to God then any servant, has the highest position in paradise, and is the leader of all Prophets (as) and he is way higher in rank then all previous Prophets (as)

It is never advisable to make a post without specific reference to the Quran and/or an authentic Hadith or Hadiths.

Allah has nowhere in the Quran said that He had taken any prophet as His friend except for Abraham(pbuh). I, therefore, do not find any basis in some people's claim that Muhammed (pbuh) is the only or the best friend of Allah. This is an area in which we have no knowledge. What pleasure do the people derive by spreading rumours in matters which have not been made known to us by Allah? Are they the people who want to worship Muhammed(pbuh) as a partner of Allah?

Mohammad (saw) is habeeballah

There is nothing like this in the Quran. You have also failed to mention any other authentic document. The Quran says:For God did take Abraham for a friend.[4:125]

He has a greater closeness to God then any servant,

The Quran says that he is one of the prophets of Allah and nothing more than that.Allah says: Muhammad is no more than a Rasool of Allah, like the Rasools that passed away before him.[3:144]

 

[Maimunah]

all beleivers (muslims) are freinds of allah n we as msulims do not make any
distinction between allah's messengers n prophets (may allah's peace be upon them). he azawajalah knows best of all as he said in the quraan " The Messenger believeth in what hath been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believeth in Allah, His angels, His books, and His apostles. "We make no distinction (they say) between one and another of His apostles." And they say: "We hear, and we obey: (We seek) Thy forgiveness, our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys." (chapter 2 verse 285)

Salaam.

Also.

Oh, verily, they who are close to God - no fear need they have, and neither shall they grieve: they who have attained to faith and have always been conscious of Him. (10:62-3)

There are many other verses in the Quran which clearly prove that Mohammed(pbuh) is nothing more than a prophet of Allah. The Quran does not tell us if there is any special prophet nor the best of the prophets. Allah has not disclosed what status He has granted to his different prophets. Look at these verses:-

3:144 Muhammad is no more than an apostle: many Were the apostle that passed away before him. If he died or were slain, will ye then Turn back on your heels?

2:136 Say (O Muslims): We believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.

4:125 Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to God, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For God did take Abraham for a friend.

But surprisingly, the prophet-worshipping liars, who do not read the Quran to understand it, have invented many fake stories (which are quite contrary to the Quran) that Muhammed(pbuh) was the first creation of Allah out of His own lights; that all other things were created by Allah for his sake; that he is the best of the prophets; that he alone is the friend of Allah; that he was not a human being;that none will go the heaven without his recommendation; that he is the leader of all the prophets; that the arsh of Allah was honoured by the touch of his shoes when he entered there with his shoes in his feet at time of miraj and so many other like stories.

We all should be aware of those liars who believe in Allah and at the same time worship Muhamme(pbuh) along with Allah and do shirk in the name worship.

But prophet Muhammed S.A.W is the only Prophet who saw Allaah S.W.T
so out of all the prophets he was given the huge oppurtunity correct

This is also a story made known to you by some book-writers and
only Allah knows how far it is true. Even if this story is taken to be true,
yet you cannot invent things that have not been disclosed by Allah. You cannot explain this incident with the sweetness of your story-tellers' mind that the incidednt follows that Muhammed(pbuh) is the best of the prophets, or the dearest and the nearest of Allah and, therefore,he should be worshipped along with Allah; for ascribing unauthentic qualifications to him is tantamount to worshipping him.​

 

[Hashim_507]

I am friend of Allah, I am slave of Allah.

 

[Hashim_507]

Ok i am getting on the topic, Prophet Abraham(pbuh) and Muhammed(pbuh) are both friend of Allah.

 

[vpb]

is the word "friend" in Quran (arabic language) too? or they wrote friend when they translated in on English?

 

[M H Kahn]

can u please show the verse from Qur'an?

None can show anything like this in the Quran. Abreast of declaring that the believers will find none but Allah as their friend and protector, Allah has specifically declared that He had taken Abraham(pbuh) for a friend. But
now-a-days, the prophet-worshipping liars and mushriks have taken to false preaching that Allah took Muhammed(pbuh) for His only friend. These mushriks believe in Allah and at the same time they worship Muhammed(pbuh), too. They also worship graves and saintly people and so on. They also occupy most of the posts of Imams in mosques and teachers in madrashas.​

 

[vpb]

M H Kahn, who would do that?!?!? I mean don't they read the Qur'an??

 

[M H Kahn]

I am friend of Allah, I am slave of Allah.

Maybe you are, if you do not associate Muhammed (pbuh) or any other person or thing as a partner in your worship of Allah.

 

[M H Kahn]

M H Kahn, who would do that?!?!? I mean don't they read the Qur'an??

I live in Bangladesh now and I presume that maybe nearly 99% of the Islamic teachers of this country are prophet-worshippers. Even in many mosques, they write "Allah" to the right side and "Muhammed" to the left side of the mehrab.

Yes, maybe most of them memorize the Quran for recitation in sweet tune only. They seldom try to understand the contents. They mainly read man-made fictions on Islam and become fiction-based scholars, and virtually mushriks. So here in Bangladesh as well as in India and Pakistan, the lion's part of the teachers of Islam are no more than mushriks who worship Muhammed (pbuh), graves of good people and the like.

 

[vpb]

hmmm, does this has anything to do of what Abu Bakr said one time that there will be a group of people who will call in the name of Allah swt , but leave them alone?

 

[Khaldun]

...The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is the one who will attain Al-Maqam Al-Mahmud (the Praised Position in the Hereafter) in Paradise, which will be given to one person only, and that person will be our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Allah took the covenant and pledge from all the Prophets that if Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent during the lifetime of any one of them, they would be obliged to follow him, to leave behind what they had brought and follow what our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) brought. As Allah says: ( When Allah made (His) covenant with the prophets, (He said): Behold that which I have given you of the Scripture and knowledge. And afterward there will come unto you a messenger, confirming that which ye possess. Ye shall believe in him and ye shall help him. He said: Do ye agree, and will ye take up My burden (which I lay upon you) in this (matter)? They answered: We agree. He said: Then bear ye witness. I will be a witness with you. Then whosoever after this shall turn away: they will be miscreants. ) (Al `Imran 3: 81-82)...
