This Book Is Dedicated TO

Sayyidunaa Muhammad
The Best of all creation, The Seal of all Prophets,
The Mercy to all the worlds, The Most Beloved of Allah, And
Our Beloved Prophet

[Verily, We have sent you as a Witness, a Bearer of
glad-tidings, and as a Warner] (Surah Al-Fath, 48, v 8)
Allah has revealed in the Torah: {Oh My Beloved Prophet;
verily, We have sent you as a witness over creation, as a bearer
of glad tidings for those who follow, as a Warner for those who
oppose, and as a protection for the unlettered ones. You are
My beloved servant and My Messenger . I have named you
as the one who puts his complete trust in Me. You are neither
impolite nor harsh-hearted, nor are you someone that causes
inconvenience amongst people. You do not eliminate an evil
act with another evil act, but you overlook the faults of people
and forgive them. Allah will not take you away from the life

of this mortal world, until He has annulled all other forms of

worship, and people will declare that, There is no one Worthy
of worship, but Allah. In this way, Allah will open eyes
that are blind, ears that are deaf and hearts that are sealed.}

FOREWORD

In The Name of Allah, The Most Beneficent, The Most Merciful

All praise is due to Allah, The Most High, Lord, Cherisher, Sustainer
and Creator of all existence. Furthermore, eternal blessings, peace
and salutations of Allah be upon His Beloved, the Choicest of His
creation, Sayyidunaa Rasoolullah , upon his family and his
companions.
It is a great honour for me to write a foreword on this excellent
compilation by the author, on the beautiful attributes and noble
qualities of the Noble Prophet Muhammad . I also commend the
authors approach in extracting these attributes from the Holy
Quraan, clearly demonstrating that the noble character of the Holy
Prophet is a personification of the Holy Quraan itself. In the
words of Sayyidah `Aa-ishah , the Holy Prophets wife, when
she was asked about his character, she replied: His character was
that of the Quraan. Therefore, this is the true meaning of the verse
in the Holy Quraan, when Allah says: Say: If you love Allah,
then follow me, and Allah will love you.
In order to taste the Divine Love and comprehend the inner and
outer meaning of the Holy Quraan, we have to follow the Holy
Prophet in everything. Thus, we have to follow him in his
attributes, because the attributes of the Noble Prophet represent

his pure qualities and his character; and if we live with these
beautiful qualities and this character, then Allah will give us the
high qualities of the soul (Rooh).
Because this book deals primarily with the meaning and significance
of the names and attributes of the Holy Prophet Muhammad , we
should ask ourselves: What is the true Sunnah? The true Sunnah is
to emulate the noble qualities of the Holy Prophet , and to perfect
these qualities in our conduct (Akhlaaq). It is only with these qualities
that we will taste the inner meanings and secrets of the Holy
Quraan. Furthermore, it is said that every name of the Noble
Prophet holds a key to the Divine Secrets of the Holy Quraan.
May this book become a benefit to all its readers, and may the
sweetness of every noble name of the Holy Prophet touch our
hearts, and increase our love for him. Ameen!

AUTHORS INTRODUCTION
All Praise is due to Allah, The Lord of the worlds, The Creator, The
One, The Eternal Absolute, He Who was not begotten nor begets, He
unto Whom there is no one similar. Eternal Peace and Salutations
upon the Best of creation, the Seal of all Prophets, the Mercy to all
the worlds, the reason for creation, he whose Noor is the first of
creation, Our Beloved Leader and Prophet, Muhammad , and
upon his family and companions.
How do we define a name? How much does it say about the person
it refers to? In the past, a name used to refer more than anything to
the person it referred to. It was a characteristic that informed us
about what type of person is being referred to, what his status
among the community is, and so on. Today, most names have no or
very little significance, especially when it is given to a person.
The greatest of names, ultimately, are `Abdullah (the servant of
Allah), `Abdur Rahmaan (the servant of the Most Gracious), and
Muhammad (one who is most worthy of praise). The last one
mentioned is the name of the choicest of creation, the greatest man
ever to grace this earth with his mubaarak feet, the Master of
Prophets and Messengers, the Leader of those who are conscious of
Allah, the Seal of all Divine Emissaries, our Noble Prophet,
Sayyidunaa Habeebullah Muhammad Rasoolullah .
Which person do we know whose companions were so immensely
fond of and attached to, other than Sayyidunaa Rasoolullah ?
Which person do we know that was taken so much note of, and that

01

his companions never missed out a single thing concerning him, no

matter how minute? Surely, and without an atoms weight of doubt,
the Beloved of Allah was the most influential person that history
has ever known. That is why his noble Sahaabah never missed out
on an opportunity to record in their memories, every single act and
saying of the Holy Prophet . Even if he just moved his mubaarak
eyes, it was noted by them and recorded in history.
It is with great honour that I write this book concerning the noble
attributes of the Choicest of creation, Sayyidunaa Rasoolullah .
Studying Sayyidunaa Rasoolullahs noble attributes and titles is
part of studying his life history, and it will enable us to understand
him more. Imaam Al-`Allaamah Ibn al-`Aaqoolee states in his
book, Al-Jaami` Li Awsaafir Rasool, that a name is a characteristic
that provides proof about the person it refers to, and when it is
implied, that person is understood.1
We will never be able to fully understand the greatness of
Rasoolullah and his excellence over the entire creation. We are
human, and that is probably, the major factor that leads some to
think and believe that Sayyidunaa Rasoolullah is a normal human
being. Only Allah knows completely the status and the excellence
of His Beloved Rasool . Allah is The Creator, and He is The One
that accorded Rasoolullah with that status. Therefore, the false
perceptions and beliefs of those who do not understand the greatest
person ever to grace this earth have no effect in decreasing his
elevated status and excellent position.

In the coming chapters of this book, I begin with a look at the

meaning of certain words, like Nubuwwah (Prophethood). This
constitutes chapter one, as well as the discussion of four qualities
that all the Prophets have, and that were not granted to the rest of
creation. We also take a look at the four negative actions that all the
Prophets AS are saved from. In chapter two, we take a look at some
of the virtuous nature and excellence of Sayyidunaa Rasoolullah ,
and part of his elevated status in the eyes of the Lord of the worlds.
In chapter three to five, we discuss his titles and attributes based on
the Holy Quraan, about whose Divine Origin; no Muslim can have a
single atoms weight of doubt. Each of these chapters is linked with a
portion of the Holy Quraan. Then we conclude this book with a
final word.
I would like to mention that I have written this book by referring to
the writings of the great classical scholars of Islam. These are
`Ulamaa that have excelled in every field, and until today their
writings are still benefiting the world, Muslims and non-Muslims
alike. They are the likes of the Pious Sahaabah , the Pious
Tabi`een, those that followed them in righteousness, like Imaam
Muhammad Ibn Isma`eel Al-Bukhari , Imaam Abu Haneefah ,
and Imaam Jalaalud Deen As- Suyootee ; who himself wrote a
book on the noble attributes of the Holy Prophet , entitled Classic
gardens about the explanation of the attributes of the best of creation
. We should all aspire to follow in their inspiring footsteps,
because they are the ones that lived Islam and emulated the Pure
Sunnah of Sayyidunaa Rasoolullah in everything. Let us not
follow in the footsteps of those who contradict and oppose the
teachings of our illustrious ancestors, no matter who the
contradictions come from.

I hope that Allah allows this humble work to be sincerely and

only for His sake, and that He accepts it. I hope Insha-Allah, that we
will be able to understand the superiority of Rasoolullah over the
rest of creation. In this way, we will realise the significance and the
meanings of his noble attributes and titles.
The lowly servant of Allah
