Allah supported His Prophet with miracles that held people in wonderment. He gave him clear proofs, and honored him, all of which his contemporaries and Companions witnessed and the generation that came after him indisputably knew.
This blessed knowledge with its light was passed down in trusted hands and through which we are indeed blessed with the light of the Prophet . May Allah praise and venerate our Master Muhammad and grant him perfect peace in abundance.
The Companion, Anas narrated the story of how the winged heavenly mount by the name of Burak was bridled and saddled for the Prophet to ride on his miraculous Night Journey, shied away from him. The Archangel Gabriel asked Burak why he behaved in such a manner saying, "Do you do this to Muhammad? No one more honored by Allah than he has ever ridden you.” Upon hearing these words Burak broke out in a sweat.
The Prophet’s Exalted Status with Allah
The following contains some of the clearest Koranic verses that speak of the Prophet depicting the high esteem and praise of Allah for him together with the excellence of his qualities.
The Prophet's praiseworthiness and excellent qualities:
Allah says, "Indeed, there has come to you a Messenger from your own" (9:128). In this verse Allah informs the believers, Arabs, the people of Mecca and peoples of the world that He sent to them from their own selves a Messenger. A Messenger of whom they were sure and already known to them as being both truthful and trustworthy and because he was one of them that he was sure to give them good counsel.
Each tribe of Arabia was linked to him either through kinship or ancestry and he was by far their most noble and excellent kinsman. Abbas' son, as well as many others, said this is the meaning of the words of Allah, "except the love of the (Prophet's) relatives" (42:23). He is the most noble, highest and most excellent of them. And this is the highest of praise.
In the same verse Allah attributes to his Prophet various praiseworthy qualities and He praises the Prophet's eagerness to guide people to Islam as well as his sincere concern for the harm that afflicts them not only in this life but also in the Everlasting Life. It is also an insight to the kindness and mercy the Prophet showed to those who believed him.
A knowledgeable person draws one's attention to the fact that, Allah honored him with two of His own Names – Rauf, Gentle and Raheem, Merciful.
Allah says, "Indeed, there has come to you a Messenger from your own, he grieves for your suffering, and is anxious about you, and is gentle, merciful to the believers." (9:128). He also says, "If it was not for the bounty of Allah to you and His Mercy, and Allah is the Gentle, the Most Merciful." (24:20)
