the creation. Without comparison, just as the Messenger of Allah (may A llah bless him and grant him peace) is the greatest amongst all the Prophets, through the blessing of the Prophet (may Allah bless . him and grant him peace), the Ummah of the Prophet (may . Allah bless him and grant him peace) is the greatest Ummah of all Ummahs. B. 30 Belief: All the Prophets have been blessed with a very exalted status in the Court of Allah (The Exalted). To call them (Allah forbid) to be like cobblers in the court of Allah (The Exalted) is open blasphemy (gustaakhi) and words of Kufr. B. 31 Belief: One of the evidence of a Nabi's claim of Prophethood is that he makes the true claim of Prophethood and takes the responsibility of performing actions which are generally impossible for any person and he calls those whe do not believe towards this. Allah (The Exalted) allows that which he wishes to do to come into existence and all the unbelievers are left speechless. This is called a Mu'jiza, like the camel of Nabi Saaleh (upon whom be peace), the staff of Nabi Moosa (upon whom be peace) and his brightly shining hand, Nabi Esa (upon whom be peace) bringing the dead back to life, curing the leper and those born blind and the miricles of our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) are numerous. B. 32 Belief: Any person who claims to be a Nabi and tries to show some sign trying to convince people that he is a Nabi, can not come true as this will confuse right from wrong. Beneficial note: Those miracles which a Nabi performs before Prophethood and are called "Irhaas". That miraculous action which a Wali performs is known as Karaamat. Those miracles which ordinary believers cause to occur is called "Ma'oonat" and those so-called miracles whicL are performed by open sinners and kaafirs are called "Istidraaj." 49
