Section Two: Intermediation through the holy Prophet (Peac Be Up Him and His Household) during his physical existence This is a distinction of the holy Prophet*(Peac Be Up Him and His Household)* that people relied on him as a means not only before his Prophethood but also before birth. In the last section it has been discussed how Adam (عليه السلام) first of all and then the Jews benefited from his mediation.

When the former nations and communities prayed through him for victory over their enemies and for their own redemption, the Muslim community as his direct followers are far more deserving of this privilege. This is the reason the Qur’ān has furnished an irrefutable proof of the infinite blessings and rewards the Muslim community received through his mediation. The depended on him as a source of intermediation and he never directed them to implore Allah directly.

On the contrary, he himself educated them in making use of different modes of intermediation.
