contradiction to (the blessed commands of) the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. (Khaza’in-ul-‘Irfan, part 22, Ahzaab, Taht-al-Ayah: 36)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب           صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Have you seen that what kind of powers Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has blessed His Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم with that even in the personal matters of Muslims he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was granted power and his obedience was made compulsory for Muslims. In the same way, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has also been granted this power that he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم can command anyone to do anything and forbid [anyone] from anything, any time.

Mufti Muhammad Amjad Ali A’zami رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the vicegerent of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, having absolute authority. The whole universe has been given under his power, whatever he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم wills, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم can do, whatever he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم wills to give to anyone, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم can do so; he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم can take back whatever he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم wills from anyone. There is no one in the entire universe who can reject his order. The entire universe is bound to follow his orders and he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is not bound to follow the command of anyone except his Rab عَزَّوَجَلَّ. He صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the master of all people and those who do not consider him to be their master are deprived of the sweetness of Sunnah. The entire earth is his possession, the entire Paradise is his property, مَلَکُوْتُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْض (the kingdoms of the heavens and the earth) are under his command, the keys of Paradise and Hell have been given in his blessed hands, sustenance and goodness and the bestowal of every kind are distributed from his blessed court, the world and the Hereafter are a part of the bestowals of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Laws of Shari’ah have been given under his power; whatever he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم wills to declare Haraam for anyone, he may do so and whatever he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم wills to declare Halal for anyone, he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم may do so and whatever Fard he صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم wills to exempt, he may exempt it.
