him with, nor did he describe himself with them. Some
characteristics are also those, which are unique to Allah and
cannot be used to describe any of the creation, like “The
Almighty’s consent takes so much care of your prayer that even
the firm destiny has been ignored for its answer?”
“Verily, Allah does what He wills.” 558 And Allah’s Messenger
was commanded to say ‘InshaAllah’, ‘if Allah wills’, whenever he
intended to do an act, Allah says: “And never say of anything
that I shall do such and such tomorrow.’ Except with the saying,
‘if Allah wills.’” 559
The Messenger of Allah even rebuked the man who said to him
: “As Allah and you wish.’ The Prophet said: “Have you
made me and Allah equal? Instead (you should say) as Allah
alone wishes.” 560
The Qasidas mentioned in Fazaail-e-Aamaal make no distinction
between the Right of Allah and the right of Allah’s Messenger .
Worship is the sole Right of Allah, which also includes seeking
help, supplication, hope, circumambulation and seeking
intercession. But in their couplets, Moulana Jamee and Moulana
Muhammad Qasim Nanotwi have attributed these acts of
worship to the Messenger of Allah , which is Shirk.
The Messenger of Allah was very strict with regards to the
matters of Aqeedah, and he firmly opposed any expression of
Shirk. Once, a companion addressed him saying: ‘You are our
master.” He said: ‘The Master is Allah, the Blessing Giver, the
Exalted.’ And when they (the Sahabah) described him saying:
“You are the best of us and most beneficent among us.” He
said: “Say what you came for to say and let not Shaytaan make
you his followers, enticing you to make presumptuous
statements.” 561
