Bashar
 |
The Messenger of Allah,
Muhammad S has been addressed as Bashar, a man, at several places in the
Holy Qur-an. Among
the many objections, disbelieving Quraysh had raised after the Messenger of Allah,
Muhammad S began inviting them to the path of Allah (God); was that
he was just another man like them and was not an Angel or someone special. The
Messenger of Allah, Muhammad S was reminded by Allah (God)
to reinforce this very concept that he was just another man, who was especially
bestowed by Allah (God) with Risalah (Messengership),
and who used to receive Wahi (Messages from Allah).

"Or
you have a house of Zukhruf (like silver and pure gold), or you
ascend up into the sky, and even then we will put no faith in your ascension until
you bring down for us a Book that we would read." Say (O Muhammad
S): Glorified (and Exalted) is my Lord [(Allah) above all that evil they
(polytheists) associate with Him]! Am I anything but a man, sent as a Messenger?" |
|
And
nothing prevented men from believing when the guidance came to them, except they
said: "Has Allah sent a man as (His) Messenger?"

(Chapter) Al-Isra" (The Night Journey) The Qur-an

Say (O
Muhammad S): "I am only a man like you. It has been revealed to me
that your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God – i.e. Allah).
So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and
associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord."

(Chapter) Al-Kahf (The Cave) The Qur-an 18:110 |

Say (O
Muhammad S): "I am only a human being like you. It is revealed to
me that your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God – i.e. Allah),
therefore take Straight Path to Him (with true Faith – Islamic Monotheism) and
obedience to Him, and seek forgiveness of Him. And woe to Al-Mushrikin
(the polytheists, idolaters, dosbelievers in the Oneness of Allah).
