Re: some questions regarding Abu Bakr thread
I know what Surah Ikhlas means and by no means I am comparing Prophet pbuh with Allah (nauzbillah), if that is what you are thinking. But Allah has gifted Prophet pbuh with exalted standards of character for us to follow. His (pbuh) life is made a living example of Quran for us. Allah has asked us to take guidance from Quran and the life of Prophet pbuh. Allah has made him a blessing on all mankind. I know in Quran Allah said that tell them you are made from clay like everyone. But Allah didn’t say that so we would actually start talking about him (pbuh) like every other man, Allah said that so people won’t take him (pbuh) as God because Allah has made him (pbuh) fool proof for our guidance that it was and is easy to worship him (nauzbillah) by the people of that time and any time to come. Allah also said that I have made you (pbuh) a blessing on the mankind, send you (pbuh) as a universal messenger with guidance and truth for everyone to follow. When Allah has given such high ranks to his messenger (pbuh), made him a perfect example for us to seek guidance then who the hell we are to talk about him (pbuh) or consider him (pbuh) as “any man.”
Now I hope you do understand why I said what I said and if you still want to misinterpret my statement then there is nothing I can do...

The example may be a perfect one, but it's interpretation is what is under scrutiny here. It is not what they did or did not do. And also we must have some confidence in the best followers of the best ummah who were the Sahabah also. It is us who choose to misunderstand their actions and then we choose to differentiate between the daughter of RasoolAllah from the best friend of RasoolAllah. They are both from the relatives of Muhammad (SAW).
