Muhammad's mission |

|
|
| 1. |
Narrated by the humble servant of One Islam, whose name means al-Haqq from Allah’s Apostle in vision, saying: “All that a pure believer needs is within the True and Holy Qur’an. This is the first. Honor the sacred deed (constitution) of One Islam second. Respect these authentic Hadith of Allah's Apostle and no other is the third. Finally, honor all other sacred scripture that respects Allah as one who loves all life, peace and wisdom. Never raise false sayings and false scripture above these four things.” |

A follower of Allah’s apostle came to him and said, “In my travels, I came to the inhabitants of an eastern city who worshipped their king as a god. Surely you are greater than any king and worthy of worship!” The Prophet said, “Any man who truly believes my words let him worship Allah and no other.” |
|
| 3. |
The Prophet said, “The light of sūfīya (sophia or wisdom) I have attained and in the light I live.” |
|
| 4. |
Once, when an official party came to Allah’s apostle, they said “Lord Muhammad, you are our master!” The Prophet replied, “Verily, Allah your master.” The ambassadors then said, “If not worshipped as our master, then you shall be worshipped as the greatest of all prophets!” When Allah’s apostle heard this, he did say, “Worship Allah and no other. I am but his humble servant. Verily, a man who exceeds in praise shall be humbled before Allah and those who humble themselves before Allah shall be rewarded exceedingly.” |

| 5. |
It was said to the Allah’s apostle, “O Messenger of God! Curse the infidels. ” The Prophet said, “The mission that Allah has given me is not to scatter, but to unite; it is not to speak of ignorance, but to reveal the truth of our Universal Creator. Any man that does not have a pure heart of compassion, that does not love wisdom is an infidel in the eyes of Allah. ” |
|
| 6. |
The Prophet said, “Do not worship me as the last, or the first; nor trouble your minds whether I be the greatest. Instead, consider the truth of the wisdom which has been revealed to you; challenge false teachings and false scripture; submit to Allah who loves all his creations and seek to make this world a better place.” |
|
| 7. |
The Prophet said, “Any man who speaks constantly of me and not Allah, does me no honor. I am but a servant, no more. Verily, any man who seeks to raise his standing higher shall be lowered before Allah and any man who makes himself a servant of humanity shall be raised to the highest.” |
