called ghaib. The Awliyah Allah (The Exalted) also possesses knowledge of the unseen, but this too, they attain through the blessing of the Prophets. B. 22 Belief: The Prophets are more superior than all the creCltion including the Angels that are Rasools (Messengers). No matter how exalted a Wali may be, he can never be equal to a Nabi. Any person who says any non Nabi to be more superior or even equal to any Nabi is a Kaafir. B. 23 Belief: To respect a Nabi is "Farz-e-Ain" (meaning that it i� fard upon every individual personally). In actuality it is the reality of all Fard. The slightest d isrespect or falsification of the word of any Nabi is Kufr. B. 24 Belief: From Nabi Adam (upon whom be peace) upto our Nabi (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) Allah (The Exalted) sent various Nabis. Some of them are very clearly mentioned in the Qur'aan whilst others are not. Those names of those Nabis which are clearly mentioned in the Qur'aan are: Nabi Adam, Nabi Nooh, Nabi Ibraheem, Nabi Ismaeel, Nabi Ishaaq, Nabi Yacoob, Nabi Yusuf, Nabi Moosa, Nabi Haroon, Nabi Shuaib, Nabi Lut, Nabi Hood, Nabi Dawood, Nabi Sulaiman, Nabi Ayoob, Nabi Zakariyah, Nabi Yahya, Nabi Esa, Nabi I1yaas, Nabi AI Yas'a, Nabi Yunus, Nabi Idrees, Nabi Zul Kifl, Nabi Saaleh (upon them all be peace) and the leader of the Prophets, Muhammad Mustafa (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). B. 25 Belief: Allah (The Exalted) created Nabi Adam (upon whom be peace) from sand, without a mother or father and appointed him as his Khalifa (Representative). Allah (The Exalted) blessed him with the knowledge of the names of everything. Allah (The Exalted) commanded the Angels to prostrate to him. All obeyed the command except shaytaan (who was from the fraternity of Jins and was a great worshipper and was thus counted amongst the Angels). He refused and became cursed forever. 47
