enough to believe, and they did believe. It will not decrease his
vaule and honour not to believe in his Prophethood nor not to
appreciate his greatness and superiority. Allahu ta’âlâ says in
Surat al-Inshirâh: We exalted (raised high) for you your
reputation (name, esteem)” [your name is said together with
My name everywhere]. While moving one degree of longitude
towards the west, the times of prayer begin four minutes later.
Therefore, Muslims all over the world call the Azân every
minute of the day, and his blessed name is mentioned with
esteem and love everywhere, all the time.
Unless a person follows Rasûlullah ‘sall-Allâhu alaihi wa
sallam’ in everything he does, he will not be a Muslim. Unless
he loves him more than his own life, his îmân will not be
complete.
It is stated in the chapter about namâz in Ibni Âbidîn that it
is farz to say the (certain prayer) Salawât (pronounced as a
benediction over our Prophet’s soul) once in one’s lifetime. It is
wâjib to say it each time one says, hears, reads or writes (his
blessed name) for the first time, and it is mustahâb to
pronounce this blessed benediction whenever the blessed
name (of the Prophet) is repeated.
He is the Prophet of all people and genies. It is wâjib for
every nation living in every century to follow him. Every Muslim
should help his religion, adapt himself to his habits, mention his
blessed name very often, say salât and salâm for him
respectfully and with love whenever he mentions or hears his
blessed name. A Muslim should want with love to see his
blessed beauty, and love and respect the Qur’ân and the
Sharî’at, which he brought. The book Mir’ât-i Kâinât says,
“Ignorant and lazy people write initials [such as (SAW)] instead
of ‘sallallâhu alaihi wa sallam.’ This is not advisable. We should
carefully avoid this.”
Whoever on Earth can attain by force his goals?
Whatever the divine decree is, it will certainly take
place.
