Statements of Prophet <strong>Muhammad</strong> sa 95<br />

the Czar <strong>to</strong>ld the prince that he disobeyed his order<br />

and ordered the doorman <strong>to</strong> whip his son. The prince<br />

pleaded, saying, “Your majesty, the law of the land<br />

does not permit an ordinary man <strong>to</strong> whip an officer.”<br />

Hearing this, the Czar elevated the doorman <strong>to</strong> the<br />

post of a captain and ordered him <strong>to</strong> whip his son.<br />

The prince pleaded again, saying “Your majesty, the<br />

law of the land does not permit a junior officer <strong>to</strong><br />

whip a senior officer.” At this, the Czar made the<br />

doorman a general and ordered the punishment <strong>to</strong> be<br />

carried out. The son further pleaded, saying “Your<br />

majesty, the law of the land forbids a person, who is<br />

not a prince, from beating a prince.” Thereupon, the<br />

Czar made the doorman a prince and ordered that<br />

the punishment be carried out. Thus, an ordinary<br />

soldier became a prince in a few moments and there<br />

was no one who could s<strong>to</strong>p that.<br />

Would not our opponents concede as much authority <strong>to</strong><br />

the Holy Prophet sa as was wielded by the Czar of Russia?<br />

The fact of the matter is that the Holy Prophet sa<br />

possessed immeasurable honour and status both in<br />

heaven and on earth. He calls the Messiah of the latter<br />

days the Prophet of God four times consecutively in one<br />

hadīth. Now, who is there <strong>to</strong> deprive him of this status?<br />

Who can close this door that has been opened by him? 82<br />
