When the Almighty Allah chooses a human being for His great divine mission, he must enjoy the highest degrees of virtues. Hence, the messengers of Allah are the most virtuous of people on earth. The holy Quran confirms that whilst the messengers of Allah are more virtuous than other people, there are degrees in rank and preference in virtues amongst them.
Amongst all the Prophets and the Messengers of Allah, the last and the Seal of the Prophets, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) is the most preferred of all and the highest in rank in the sight of Allah.
The following are some of the unique characteristics of Prophet Muhammad:
1. The light and spirit of Muhammad (PBUH&HF) was the first creation of Allah.
2. Universal Mission .
“And We have not sent you (O Muhamad) except as a giver of glad tidings and a warner to all mankind.” [34:28]
3. He is mercy for the whole worlds:
“And We have not sent you but as a mercy for the worlds.” [21:107]
4. The last Prophet:
“Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the last (end) of the Prophets.” [36:40]
5. His Scripture is a protector and a guard over all the previous scriptures, safeguarding the truth in them which has been perverted by man throughout history.
“And We have sent down to you (O Muhammad) the Book in truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it and Muhayman (a protector and controller) over it.” [5:48]
6. The religion of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HF) was Islam in its complete form with no perversion in it, and hence it is the right and straight ( Qayyem ) religion.
“So set you (O Muhammad) your face on the straight and right religion.” [30:43]
Jabir ibn yazid narrated from Imam Baqir (a.s), “O Jabir. Verily the first that God created was Muhammad and his pure family. Those who guide and are guided. (Al Kafi 1:442 )
