Who deserves to be Worshiped ?

Other Biblical characteristics of Prophet Muhammad (bpuh)
An equally interesting and most revealing profile of Prophet Muhammad (bpuh) can
be found in the 42 nd chapter of the Book of Isaiah. Let us examine some of these
characteristics:
Proof 9: The “one in whom God’s soul delights” is called the ‘servant’ of God
(42:1, 19), His ‘messenger’ (42:19) and His ‘chosen’ (42:1)
Translated into Arabic, these titles read: Abduhu, rasooluhu, and al-mustafa. All
the prophets were indeed slaves and elects of Allah, yet no prophet in history has
been universally called by these specific titles, as Muhammad (bpuh) has been. The
testimony of faith by which a person enters into the fold of Islam reads, “I bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship other than Allah, and I bear witness that
Muhammad is His slave and messenger.”
Virtually the same formula is repeated five times a day during the call to prayers,
five times a day immediately before the beginning of prayers, nine times a day
during the minimum mandatory prayers, and several more times if the Muslim
performs additional recommended prayers. The most common title used for Prophet
Muhammad (bpuh), from the beginning of his mission until today, is Rasool Allah
(the Messenger of Allah [bpuh]). The Quran has given him this title, and during his
lifetime, he was addressed as such by his followers. The voluminous collections of
hadiths have been narrated typically in these forms: “I heard the Messenger of Allah
(bpuh) say...” or “The Messenger of Allah (bpuh) said...” He has been described in
the Quran as “Allah’s slave” and “Allah’s Messenger.”
Proof 10: He will not grow faint or be discouraged until “he has established
justice in the earth” (42:4); “he shows himself mighty against his foes,” (42:13)
and he “bring[s] forth justice to the nations” (42:1)
{He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent.} (Quran 112: 3-4)
