صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! The pure individuals who were sent by Allah Almighty to deliver His laws for the guidance of people are known as Prophets. The noble Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام are those humans whom receive revelation from Allah Almighty. This revelation is sometimes conveyed through an angel, and sometimes directly (without means). The noble Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام are free from sins and their habits are impeccable. Their names, lineages, bodies, speech, actions and habits are faultless. They are free from any disliked trait, and Allah Almighty granted them perfect intellect.

The most intelligent person in the world cannot even attain even a small fraction of their intelligence. Allah Almighty informs them regarding unseen matters (ghayb), and they spend their days and nights obeying and worshipping Him. They convey the command of Allah Almighty to people and show them His path. The noble Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام who brought a new shari’a (law) are known as Messengers.

The noble Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام vary in their ranks; some are more superior than others. Our master, sayyidunā Muhammad صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has the highest rank among them. He is the final Prophet, and Allah Almighty sealed prophethood with him. Nobody can be granted prophethood after the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Anyone who believes that it is possible for somebody to be granted prophethood after him; such a person leaves the fold of Islam.^[1]

Today, we will have the honour of listening to some faith-refreshing accounts and miracles from the blessed life of an esteemed and honoured Prophet of Allah Almighty, sayyidunā ʿĪsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام. But, before this, let us first listen to a brief introduction to him and some of his virtues.
