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

[M H Kahn]

The fatwa you have referred is full of contradictions and so many fictions. Allah says:

2:136 Say ye: "We believe in God, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to God (in Islam)."

2:285 The Apostle believeth in what hath been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believeth in God, 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."

Again the fatwa-giver narrated:
With regard to the sound hadiths, "Do not prefer me over Yunus ibn Matta" and "By the One Who chose Musa over all of creation", these all indicate the immense humility of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when speaking of his brothers, the Messengers. But he is undoubtedly the best of them all, for he led them in prayer in Bayt Al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) on the night of the Isra’. The fatwa-giver says that Muhammed(pbuh) was lying in the above Hadith to express his humility. How dare is he to call the Muhammed (pbuh) a liar !!!

Allah orders us to obey Him and obey His prophet. It does not concern us who is the greatest of the prophets, nor has Allah made this known to us. Despite this, some misconceived scholars try to invent themselves what Allah has kept known to Him alone. In so doing, they even do not hesitate to say that Muhammed(pbuh) was lying for the sake of humality and even assert indirectly that the sayings of Allah in the Quran are also lies!!!

Please do not refer to the scholars of Islam as Satanic.

And clearly you do not understand the Quran, the latter ayah you qouted even says itself, "We Hear and We Obey" but strangely enough you decided not to highlight that, wonder why? All the verses you have cited do not infact contradict the Fatwa. We as muslims can not say out of our own accord that, this prophet is better then that prophet, but we take the Speech of Allah and His Messenger

And your Lord best knows those who are in the heavens and the earth; and certainly We have made some of the prophets to excel others, and to Dawood We gave a scripture. [Surah Isra Ayah 55]

We have made some of these apostles to excel the others among them are they to whom Allah spoke, and some of them He exalted by (many degrees of) rank; and We gave clear miracles to Isa son of Marium, and strengthened him with the holy spirit. And if Allah had pleased, those after them would not have fought one with another after clear arguments had come to them, but they disagreed; so there were some of them who believed and others who denied; and if Allah had pleased they would not have fought one with another, but Allah brings about what He intends. [Surah Baqrah Ayah 253]

“From among the sons of Adam, Allah chose Quraysh; from among Quraysh He chose Kinanah; from among Kinanah He chose Bani Hashim; and from among Bani Hashim He chose me.”

:salaam:

Please refer to the following (in the Quran):

• Surah Aali-'Imran (3): verse 33 - On the issue of chosen people.
• Surah Al-Maa`ida (5): verse 3 - The completion of deen (the Prophet :arabic5: was the only prophet, that Allah :arabic2: had completed the deen through via revelation).
• Surah Al-Anbiyah (21): verse 107 - The blessing to the Worlds.
• Surah Al-Ahzaab (33): verse 6 - The Prophet :arabic5: being closer to the believers (in what they follow) than their own selves (their desires).
• Surah Al-Ahzaab (33): verse 33 - Even the family of the Prophet :arabic5: is given this authority of being granted protection from rijs (sin) and being purified.

salaam brothers and sisters
i think its not for us to decide which prophet is the friend of allah. for allah knows the best. all the prophets and messengers are friends of allah and those who are al mutaquun. "Behold! verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve; Those who believe and (constantly) guard against evil;- For them are glad tidings, in the life of the present and in the Hereafter; no change can there be in the words of Allah. This is indeed the supreme felicity. Let not their speech grieve thee: for all power and honour belong to Allah. It is He Who heareth and knoweth (all things). Behold! verily to Allah belong all creatures, in the heavens and on earth. What do they follow who worship as His "partners" other than Allah. They follow nothing but fancy, and they do nothing but lie". so he who worships mohamed pbuh is dead bt he who worships allah is alive n will never die.
so lets not ask each other asbout things we have no knowledge of
