The rationale behind this approach is to take an insight from the Holy Verses which are acceptable to all Muslims and without getting into the ambiguity of the authenticity of the Ahadith. However, the same topic from both Quran and Ahadith is also discussed in a separate article at the site. Briefly, some Muslims believe that -saww , has left the world after fulfilling his -saww mission and is neither present nor aware of our deeds.

Whereas, others don’t agree with this doctrine and believe that Prophet -saww is present, overlooking our actions and responding to our greetings ( Salam and Salawat ). Hence all those rituals where Muhammad -saww and Alay Muhammad -saww are revered and thanked for their services (i.e., Naat/Milad) are not only justified but are recorded as ‘good deeds’ in the accounts of the organisers, the participants and their deceased ones.

Allah -azwj Defines the basic three purpose of Sending His -azwj Prophet -saww to people as: (1) to be a ‘witness’, (2) to give the ‘good news’ (to the believers of the Paradise) and (3) to warn (the non-believers of the punishment in the Hell). يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا {4533:} O Prophet!

Surely, We have Sent you as a witness (watching/overlooking), a Bearer of Glad Tidings, and (as a) Warner [33:45] إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا {848:} Surely, We Sent you as a witness, and a giver of glad tidings and a warner [48:8] The concept of ‘witness’ is very important and of paramount importance, as a witness should be able to watch and have the comprehensive knowledge of the event, otherwise ‘one’ cannot qualify to be called in for giving a witness.

As Allah -azwj Says: وَجَاءَتْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَعَهَا سَائِقٌ وَشَهِيدٌ {2150:} And every soul will come, with it would be an usher and a witness [50:21] And Allah -azwj Says: أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ {1105:} (O Prophet!) Did you not see how your Lord Dealt with the owners of the elephant?
