The Messengers from the Messengers

The Holy Quran has shed light upon this important issue because Prophet Muhammad pbuhap is the launcher of its wide door. This happened before, specifically with Jesus pbuh (The rise of Allah in Mount Seir) and the one who paved the way for Muhammad pbuhap and his great call, the great call that shall witness a major transformation in the method of the Divine dispatch to the people of Earth and the succession of the successor of the Almighty in His land.

As Jesus pbuh had sent messengers by himself to Antioch and they are also messengers from Allah because Jesus pbuh works by the order of Allah swt.

{They speak not until He has spoken, and they act by His command.}^[1]

Thus, the dispatch by Prophet Jesus pbuh has been mentioned in the Quran, in Surat Yaseen. The Almighty said,

{Give for them an example of the people of the city when those sent came unto them ❦ We sent unto them two, and they denied them both, so We reinforced them with a third, and they said, “Verily, we have been sent unto you.”}^[2]

Allah says {We sent} even though the sender was Jesus pbuh. So the dispatch from Jesus pbuh became the dispatch from Allah, because Jesus pbuh represented Allah swt amongst the creation as he is the “the rise of Allah in Mount Seir”.

There is still something that we should know in the issue of the dispatching of messengers from the messengers, the dispatcher must be in a divine rank in comparison with the dispatched. That is why those who send messengers from Allah swt must be in the rank of Allah within the creation.

To clarify this more I say, when Allah dispatches messengers He is with them hearing and seeing. Therefore He is surrounding the dispatched and his enemies so that no error occurs in the case of carrying the call, and also the enemies of Allah are not able to prevent the delivery of the message, no matter how much they try. The Almighty said,

{He said, “Fear not. Verily, I am with you two, hearing and seeing.”}^[3]

It is essential for that to be the case with the dispatch from the messengers pbut. So the dispatcher who represented Allah should surround the dispatched and his enemies, hearing, seeing, capable and knowledgeable due to the capability and knowledge of Allah. Otherwise, this will not truly be a dispatch from Allah. Exactly how the Almighty expressed it {We sent unto them}, and if the matter is so then the dispatcher is divine in comparison with the dispatched.

Moreover, the dispatcher has done this by the permission of Allah swt, so would Allah authorize him without equipping him with the perfect capability to perform this dispatch which is also a dispatch from Him swt? If it was not so, there would be insufficiency and this insufficiency would be attributed to the side of Allah swt.

Thus, the goal of creating the children of Adam is to achieve this result because it represents the complete, perfect and true succession of Allah, and He swt mentioned it in the presence of the angels when He had wanted to create Adam pbuh:

{And when your Lord said unto the angels, “Verily I am placing a successor in the earth,” they said, “Will You place therein one who will do harm therein and will shed blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?” He said, “Surely I know that which you know not.”}^[4]

And the perfect successor should be a perfect image of the one who made him a successor, so this perfect successor should be Allah within the creation or the fairest names of Allah or the face of Allah. The Almighty said,

{That day will faces be resplendent ❦ Looking towards their Lord.}^[5]

Certainly the look will not be towards Him swt, but the radiant faces of His supporters will look towards their teacher Muhammad pbuhap, who is the face of Allah swt that He faced His creation with. The Almighty said,

{Wait they for nothing else than that Allah comes unto them in shadows of the clouds and the angels? Then the case would be already judged. All cases go back to Allah.}^[6]

Exalted is He from coming, going and moving which are the attributes of the creation. The one mentioned in this verse is Muhammad pbuhap, the perfect successor of Allah, who represents the Divinity (Allah within the creation). However, if the successor does not practice the role of the Divinity in sending the messengers, then he would not truly and completely be the perfect successor of Allah, yet even the goal of creation would not be achieved. By the practice of this successor of the role of the Divinity, he would be a perfect image by which Allah swt would be known by and thus the goal of creation would be achieved, which is knowing, meaning knowing the Divinity and the true monotheism,

{I have not created the Jinn nor the Mankind but to worship Me,}^[7]

Meaning but to know Me^[8].
