Is RasoolAllah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Alehi wa Sallam A Man like Us?

My personal stance is that I have no idea what the “nur” issue is all about. I know that there are references about “nur” and that they either depict RasoolAllah (SAW) in person or in association with him (SAW) … or in another kind of reference. I also know the scholars of antiquity use various interpretations … I personally believe that RasoolAllah (SAW) is unlike us … but similitude can be made between him (SAW) and us … on the other hand Allah (SWT) is unlike us and NO similitude can be made between Him and us … However, linguistic similitude is used by Allah (SWT) for us regarding Himself and for that we accept without interpretation or acknowledge that the similitude is linguistic only and not actual.

Light is not permanent when spoken of in the physical sense … however, there is evidence that Light can be a metaphor for guidance as well as being something else entirely … the Veils between Allah (SWT) and us and the essence of Sayyiduna Muhammad (SAW) are all types of lights and then there is Al-Nur which is a Name for Allah (SWT) … all of these cannot be confused for one another.

Total subservience of RasoolAllah (SAW) and the rest of creation is to Allah (SWT) - by saying He is the Best of Creation we are saying he is the best of those who “need and are helpless without Allah (SWT)” … It means compared to us RasoolAllah (SAW) is beyond comparison, but compared to Allah (SWT) we (all of Creation) are all the same …

5 DIVIDED BY INFINITY = 0
1,000,000 DIVIDED BY INFINITY = 0

but between 5 and 1,000,000 there is a multitude of 200,000 …

This is an analogy of what I have understood so far …

Jazakallah khayrunn respected** brother pysah **

My view is that as Allah Almighty is the Sole Creator and all the rest are Creation – Nobody has share in His Sovereignty, we must not let there be any slight or remotest notion that anybody has even remotest link between the two entities.

There is a lot of fabricated material around from ahlul Ghulat (exaggerators) where the Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is virtually promoted as a deputy to Allah Almighty.

I think we should defend the concept of Tawheed very enthusiastically/zealously/fervently

@vroom

Among the interesting things I have learnt/re-learnt today is Allah Subhanhu wa Ta’ala is Rabbal Alameen (The Whole of it) and That The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi wa Alihi wa Sallam is Rehmatul Alameen (The whole of it!)

Well said
