No person can be Muhammad

People I believe the fact that no person can be Prophet Muhammad. And I am glad that I know this. Apart from difference between Shia and Sunni Link 1 and Link 2 this reality is the ultimate reality. Once one knows that no person can be Muhammad one will cease to call another as Muhammad even if it is his actual name.

I know one of my friends during MBA in year 2004 was named Muhammad Abdur Rab and a faculty had come. He was a Bengali gentleman maybe 60 plus years and all. He checked the names of all and then told that "your name is Abdur because NO PERSON CAN BE MUHAMMAD".

I am glad that I had the chance to attend that class and that faculty took just one class and he never came back to our institute ever again. But he gave that message which I will never forget in life.

Because Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) did in his life what no other person can ever achieve. Thus Muslims believe he is the last Prophet to walk the earth and bring the message of God to ordinary humans.

No one believes that Prophet was God or Son of God. He was messenger of God. He carried God's message. Unlike Christ whom people tell that he was the Son of God and some believe Christ to be God himself. But no one tells Prophet Muhammad was Son of God or God.

And Prophet dissuaded people that he should be worshiped. Or be depicted in photos and statues. Tell me how important is this. These days people want to be depicted in photos and statues and want temples to be built in their honour. But Prophet Muhammad dissuaded his followers to be depicted in frescoes, murals, paintings and statues. 

Prophet Muhammad said that only person or thing or entity worthy of worship is God or Allah himself. Even the Islamic Scholar Zakir Naik said that God or Allah is something who cannot be compared to anything which ordinary humans can comprehend or ANYTHING EXISTING ON THIS EARTH. God is something who greater than that. Even in Hindu religion and Mahabharat we have heard the term Vishwaroopam. This that "figure" of God which no ordinary human can see or imagine. In Mahabharata Sanjay Mahabharata got special vision and he could see the Vishwaroopam but could only describe the same to Dhritarashtra. Professor Naik takes that literally but that is no cause of conflict. If anyting it only shows that God is one and is worthy of worship. Not God's figures and figurines.

Several Christians also believe the same thing. WORSHIP THE CREATOR AND NOT THE CREATIONS. I saw this message on the back of the car the other day. This is what Prophet Muhammad espoused. Not only Prophet Muhammad, there are several more prophets in Muslim religion also known as Islam. Prophet Abraham and Prophet Christ is also among the 25 Prophets of Islam 

Also my admiration for Islam has increased after watching Ertugrul series. There they have shown Ibn-Arabi who is Link 1 like a scholar of Islam. And his scenes are full of past stories of Islam where reference is made often to life of Prophet Muhammad whose stories are full of inspiration.
