00:00What is the difference between Prophethood and Messengerhood?
00:07This is a very complicated issue and a very controversial issue.
00:11Many people have presented their opinions on this.
00:14I do not want to open the issue of what is the difference between Prophethood and Messengerhood.
00:19There are some people who are Prophets and not Messengers.
00:22Every Messenger is necessarily a Prophet, but not all Prophets are necessarily Messengers.
00:27There are about 125,000 Prophets among us.
00:30There were 313 Prophets and 313 Messengers.
00:34What I want to say is that there is a Prophet and a Messenger.
00:39Muhammad is also a Prophet.
00:47We have read this in Surah Al-Tahrim.
00:49Think about this. It is mentioned in Surah Al-Baida.
01:04So, you are both a Prophet and a Messenger.
01:06What is the difference between Prophethood and Messengerhood in your personality?
01:13This is a very beautiful example.
01:16I am holding my hands like this.
01:19There is an antenna that is receiving the revelation.
01:26This is something that is taken from Allah.
01:31This is Prophethood.
01:33Now we have to relay this to the whole world.
01:39This is Messengerhood.
01:41Both these things are in one personality.
01:44The antenna of the soul of Muhammad is receiving the revelation.
01:53This is Prophethood.
01:55And this giving and relaying is Messengerhood.
02:03And there is a very strange issue in this.
02:07Most people think that Prophethood is superior to Messengerhood.
02:11Some of our Sufis, especially Maulana Noon, and I am one of his followers,
02:18think that Prophethood is superior to Messengerhood.
02:21Because Prophethood is directed to Allah.
02:24Messengerhood is directed to the people.
02:31Go to Pharaoh.
02:33The situation that Prophet Moses was in,
02:36he was conversing with Allah on Mount Sinai.
02:40Go and tell Pharaoh that he has gone too far.
02:45Go there and hear that you are mad.
02:48Do you have to hear all these things or not?
02:51When you are standing and praying, where is your anger?
02:56It is directed to Allah.
02:59When you are preaching, that anger is directed to you, not to Allah.
03:04So in this respect, Prophethood is superior to Messengerhood.
03:10Messengerhood is an obligation.
03:12And Prophethood is a rank.
