Allah and His Prophet bestowed the bounties

Verse 9: “…whom Allah bestowed his favour and you (Prophet) had bestowed a favour…”
(Al-Ahzab 33:37)

Verse 10: “For a man there are Angels in succession before and behind that they watch
him…” (Al-Ra’ad 13:11)

By the order of Allah, these guardians (Angels) change at evenings and mornings.

Verse 11: “… and He sends guardians over you…” (Al-An’am 6:61)

Allah calls His Angels as our protectors and guardians.

Verse 12: “O the communicator of the unseen news! Allah and all these Muslims who
followed you suffice you.” (Al-Anfal 8:64)

Allah Almighty has mentioned the companions with His name saying, “O Prophet! Now that
Umar (RadiAllaho anhu) has accepted Islam, these forty Muslims will suffice you.” It is in
Jalalain “Hasbuka Allah wa Hasbuka Manittabi’aka”1 (“Allah suffices you and all those who
believe in you.”) It is in the Tarjama of Shah Waliullah Rahmatullahi Alaihi, “O Prophet !
Sufficient is for you your Lord and those Muslims who follow you.”2

Those verses of the Quran that illustrate that it is not Shirk to call the Prophet as
‘Rab’ (‘Lord’) if it is meant metaphorically.

Verse 13: “…Allah be my refuge that Aziz is my lord (who nourished me), he has kept me
very well.” (Yusuf 12:23)

It is in Jalalain: “He”-meaning he who has bought me. “My lord”-meaning my Master.3

Verse 14: “As for one of you he will serve wine for drink to his lord” (Yusuf 12:41)

Verse 15: “And Yusuf said to one whom he considered would be saved of the two, ‘Mention
me before your lord’ (The king of Egypt).” (Yusuf 12:42)

Verse 16: “Then the Satan made him forget to mention him to his lord.” (Yusuf 12:42)

It is in Jalalain: The Satan made him (the server of the wine) forget to mention (Yusuf) to his
lord (the king).4

Verse 17: “He said, ‘Return to your lord and ask him about the women who had cut their
hands’.” (Yusuf 12:50)

SubhanAllah! It is correct to mean lord (Rab) as king, metaphorically, saying your lord my
lord, and to consider the Prophet as ‘Dafi’ul Bala’ is Shirk?!

Verse 18: Allah the Almighty said to his beloved servant, ‘Isa (Alaihis Salaam) the son of
Maryam, “And when you make a figure like that of a bird out of clay by My command, then
you breathe into it, thus it begins to fly by My command. And you cure the born blind and the
leper by My command and you bring forth alive the dead by My command…” (Al-Ma’ida
5:110). Is there any difference between the elimination of the calamities of illnesses and
curing blindness and leprosy?

Verse 19: Prophet Isa Alaihis Salaam says: “That I make a form out of clay like a bird for you
then breathe into it and it becomes a bird at once by the command of Allah. I also heal the
born blind and the leper and I make the dead alive by the command of Allah and tell to you
whatever you eat and what you store in your houses. No doubt in these things there is a great
sign for you if you believe… (Till)…and for this that I should make lawful some of those
things which were forbidden to you…” (Al-Imran 3:49-50)

SubhanAllah what is going to be the ruling when Isa Alaihis Salaam says that I create, I cure,
I bring back to life and make lawful that which was Haram?
