The dog's bark does not obscure the full moon
(A crushing response to the blasphemer of the Prophet)
----------------------------------------
Gul Raza Rahi Arariawi ✍🏻
The magnificence of our Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is beyond description.
Comprehending the glory of Prophethood is far-fetched, even imagining it is impossible.
Praising the Prophet does not elevate his status; he has possessed it since the beginning, bestowed upon him by Allah, and there can be no increase or decrease in it.
To understand the glory of Prophethood, it is enough for our limited intellect to know that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is the reason for the universe. This universe was created for the sake of that master. The radiance of the sun and moon, the vastness of the earth and sky, all are a gift and generosity from him. It is because of him that Allah is showering His blessings upon us.
Therefore, we cannot fully describe his glory. However, we certainly find solace and purification in our hearts and minds by describing the greatness of our Prophet. The Prophet's glory is so great that our tongue is not worthy of speaking about it, but we still do so that our tongue may be purified.
The poet Humamuddin Ala Tabrizi said!
A thousand times I wash my mouth with musk and rosewater,
Yet to utter your name is the height of disrespect.
Describing the Prophet's glory does not add to his greatness, but the one who describes it will surely be worthy of respect and praise in this world and deserving of intercession in the hereafter, because the word Muhammad, derived from Hamd, meaning full of praises, so one whose name is filled with all aspects of praise will surely receive a portion of it.
A poet said!
The name of Muhammad brings joy to hearts,
The thoughtful mind finds fresh awareness.
No matter what your fate, by the means of Muhammad,
Whatever you ask of God, you will surely receive.
It is his glory that all the prophets gave the good news of his advent, not just news but declared that Muhammad bin Abdullah is coming, so believe in Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when he comes to the world so that you may be successful.
When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came, the world saw a wave of revolution, how people changed their lives, how the world became enamored of his greatness, how people started reciting odes in his glory, how the world drowned in the darkness of disbelief and polytheism turned repentant and came into the light of monotheism, how falsehood failed and was disappointed, how the false deities trembled, how the powers of Caesar and Khosrau weakened.
The extent of the glory of Prophethood can also be gauged from the fact that no human being has ever come into the world whose every movement, word, and deed has been recorded like a camera, in an era when such means and resources did not exist. Yet, the Companions preserved his every habit and manner, to the extent that if the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) drew attention to an action with a twig of a tree, the Companions narrated the Prophet's words in the same manner.
The Companions considered even the remnants of the Prophet's blessings to be a blessing. They used the leftover water of his ablution, applying it to their faces and bodies.
This is the highest degree of love for the Prophet and a clear indication of his pure and transparent life.
This is just a small example. The Companions sacrificed not only their lives and wealth for him but also every kind of sacrifice. People have been describing his glory in their own ways from the beginning of the world until now, but no one has reached the completion of his praise.
Everyone has refined their talents through the glory of Prophethood.
Poets have adorned their poetry with the relation to the Prophet,
Authors have decorated their writings with the biography of the Prophet,
Historians have adorned their history with the mention of the Prophet.
As if people of every art have strengthened and praised their defeated tongues and pens through the praise of the Prophet.
Hundreds of books on the Prophet's biography have come to the fore in several volumes,
But no author, historian, or poet can claim to have fully encompassed the greatness of the Prophet, because it is not within their power to encompass the greatness of the Prophet.
A poet, acknowledging his helplessness, said!
The thoughtful mind is tired, and praise remains,
The pen is blistered, and praise remains,
I wrote all my life, and praise remains,
“The page is finished, and praise remains.”
A poet said!
Ma an madahtu Muhammadan bi maqalat,
Lakin madahtu maqalati bi Muhammad
That it is not possible for me to describe the glory of Muhammad through my speech,
But I am doubling the beauty of my speech through Muhammad.
All sane and thoughtful people in the world have always taken the blessed name of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) with great respect and reverence.
These are all the things that indicate that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is the true Prophet and the leader of mankind and jinn.
Therefore, those who are a stain on humanity, whose minds and brains are filled with malice and animosity, who are hard-hearted and cruel, will never understand the words of a compassionate and tender-hearted person and the beautiful example of life and golden sayings.
The inferior person should have become noble by following the superior person, but some unworthy people of today want the superior person to become like the inferior person by following him, Allah forbid.
Whereas the rule is that the inferior follows the superior.
Those who blaspheme against our Prophet are themselves being humiliated and disgraced; they have no status left.
Trying to diminish the Prophet's glory is like trying to diminish the light of the sun and moon, which is foolish and also the folly of calling oneself an ass.
Another example of this is like the dog that barks so that the full moon of the fourteenth night may turn dark, but that never happens.
There is an Arabic saying:
Awa al-kalb la yazlim al-badra
That the dog's bark does not obscure the full moon.
Insha'Allah, all these people who blaspheme against the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and throw mud at him,
And try to cause pain to the lovers of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) will soon reach their just deserts,
All of them will be humiliated and disgraced, and the collar of humiliation and misery will be their destiny, Insha'Allah.
