The Concept of Haazir-o-Nazir Used for the Prophet (S.A.W) Part 2
People accuse Ahle Sunnah Wa Jamaat of believing that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) is present like Allah (S.W.T) is Present. This is totally false because the Ahle Sunnah Wal Jamaat does not have such a belief.
The Ulema have used the words "Haazir-o-Naazir" for Rasoolullah (S.A.W).
Allah (S.W.T) states in the Holy Quran: "When We (Allah) will bring from every Ummah (grand community) a witness, how it will be felt and (O’ beloved Muhammad) you are a witness against them". (Sura al-Nisa: Part 5, Ayah 41)
Allah (S.W.T) states in the Holy Quran: "The Nabi (Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W)) is nearer to the Believers (Muslim), even more than their own selves and his wifes are their Mothers". (Sura al-Ahzab: Part 21, Ayah 6)
Those who believes that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (S.A.W) is far from them, inreality it is they who are far from the Beloved of Allah (S.W.T). Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (S.A.W) is closer to them than they are to their own selves, irrespective of time and place. He is witnessing their deeds. Allah (S.W.T) gives this power to Him.
It is reported by Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (R.A) that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (S.A.W) said: "Indeed this entire world is in front of me so that I can observe everything in it. I can see everything in this world and everything that will take place till the Day of Qiyamah. I see the entire world as I see the palm of my hand". (Mawahib-e-Ladunnia)
It is the belief of the Ahle Sunnah Wal Jama’at that the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) is given power by Allah (S.W.T) to be Haazir and Naazir. This proves that each Prophet is a Witness for His Ummah, for those who accept Allah (S.W.T) and those who reject Him. It also proves that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (S.A.W) was present before each Ummah, witnessing their deeds.
On the Day of Qiyamah, when they will be questioned about their bad deeds, they will deny it. Then, Allah (S.W.T) will bring the Final Messenger (S.A.W) as a Witness and He will testify because He was present there when they were practising evil.
