Allah -azwj – the Exalted the Magnificent – says, ‘Say, Praise be to Allah’ for the Blessings that He -azwj has granted us (the Divine Leaders) and because He -azwj has made a good mention of us -asws (the Divine Leaders) in the Books of the past before we were even known to the world. This makes it incumbent upon Muhammad -saww and the nation of Muhammad -saww and their followers to praise Him -azwj for the nobilities which Allah -azwj has given them.

That is why Allah -azwj ’s Prophet -saww said, ‘When the Honourable the Exalted Allah -azwj Appointed Moses -as , the son of Imran -as , and chose him -as to supplicate to Him -azwj , Allah -azwj rent the sea asunder for him, rescued the Children of Israel, granted him -as the Torah and the Tablets, Moses -as saw his rank near his Lord -azwj and said, ‘O Allah -azwj !

You -azwj have honoured me -as in such a way that You -azwj have never honoured anyone else before me.’ Then Allah -azwj said, ‘O Moses! Don’t you know that Muhammad -saww is nobler near Me -azwj than all My -azwj angels and all My -azwj creatures?’ Moses -as said, ‘O Lord -azwj !

Now that Muhammad -saww is nobler for You -azwj than all Your -azwj creatures, are there any Households among the Households of the Prophets which are nobler for You -azwj than my Household?’ Then Allah -azwj said, ‘O Moses! Don’t you know that Muhammad -saww ’s Household is nobler than all the Households of the Prophets -as just as Muhammad -saww is nobler than all the Prophets -as .’ Then Moses -as said, ‘O Lord!

Now that the Household of Muhammad -saww is as such, is there any nation amongst the nations of the Prophets -as which is nobler than my nation? You -azwj set up the clouds as shadows for them (my nation), sent down the Manna and quails for them [7] and You rent the sea asunder for them.’ Then Allah -azwj said, ‘O Moses -as !

Don’t you know that the nation of Muhammad -saww is the noblest of all My -azwj nations just as Muhammad -saww is the noblest of all My -azwj creatures?’ Then Moses -as said, ‘O Lord -azwj ! I -as wish I could see them.’ Then the Honourable the Exalted Allah -azwj revealed to Moses -as , ‘You will not see them. It is not the time for them to come now. But you will see them in the Garden – the Eternal Garden and Paradise. You will see them in the presence of Muhammad -saww .

They will live among its Blessings and enjoy its everlasting good.
