He who considers Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) Nur (Light of Allah) is Muslim. The Holy Prophet (SAW) appeared in this world in the state of human because if He would come in the state of Nur (Light of Allah), everyone and everything on the earth could have burnt. Now recall the incident of Hadrat Moses (AS). He preached the then True Islam to his people, who desired to first practically and physically see Allah of Hadrat Moses (AS). Hadrat Moses (AS) on their insistence agreed and asked his people to select senior people for the purpose. As many as 60 senior people were unanimously chosen by people of Israel. The sixty senior people followed Hadrat Moses (AS) to the Toor Mountain. When Light (Nur) of Almighty Allah (SWT) appeared on the mountain before their eyes, they all burnt but Hadrat Moses (AS) kept observing the beauty of the Light of Allah as he possessed spiritual power to tolerate the flash of the Light of Allah. Thereafter, Hadrat Moses (AS) prayed to Allah to give those dead people new life, so that people of Israel somewhat believes. They all were alive and said, “Allah of Moses is True but we are unable to see Him”.
That’s why, Almighty Allah (SAW) sent his beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in the human alike state for the guidance of the then disbelievers. When someone from the disciples said, “Muhammad (SAW) is Bashar (Human)”, Allah immediately sent Gabriel with the message: O’Prophet, tell them I just look like you as I receive Message from Allah”. Now think for a while, Almighty Allah (SWT) – the Sender of Message is Nur, Gabriel is Nur, Message itself is Nur, then how can it be possible that all this will go to a man made with clay. Not at all.
Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) first of all delivered the message of Allah to his Holy Family, genealogy of which relates to Hadrat Ismail (AS) son of Hadrat Ibraheem (AS) both Prophets of Allah. Only few of the Holy Prophet (SAW)’s Holy Family had had taken departure from the straight path introduced by Hadrat Ibraheem (AS) but rest followed Deen-e-Ibraheemi (AS). Those who raised the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) from the childhood to youth, were Momin and enjoyed excellent fame in the then society. There are authentic sayings of Holy Prophet (SAW) in this context.
