Advice of Scholars - SAYYID AL-ANBIYÂ

Let us cite some of the innumerable evidences showing that Muhammad (’alaihi ’s-salâm) is the Most Superior (Sayyid al-Anbiyâ’) of prophets (’alaihimu ’s-salâwâtu wa ’t-taslîmât).

On the Day of Judgement all prophets will shelter in the shade of his banner. Allâhu ta’âlâ commanded all prophets (’alaihimu ’s-salâm) that, if they would remain alive till the time of Muhammad (’alaihi ’s-salâm), who, among creatures, was His Darling Elect, they should believe him and be his assistant. Also, all prophets ordered their ummas the same in their last requests.

Muhammad (’alaihi ’s-salâm) was the Khâtam al-anbiyâ’ (the Last Prophet), that is, no prophet will succeed him. His blessed soul was created before all prophets. The status of nubuwwa was given first to him. Nubuwwa was completed with his honouring the world. Towards the end of the world, during the time of Hadrat al-Mahdî, ’Îsâ (alaihi ’s-salâm) will descend from the sky to Damascus and join Muhammad’s (’alaihi ’s-salâm) umma and preach Islam on the earth.
