98. Sahib u’sh Shafa’ah – the One Endowed with Intercession on the Day of Judgement: “ALLAH! There is no God but He, the Ever-living, the Self-subsisting by Whom all subsist. Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His. Who is he that intercedeth with Him save by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend anything out of His knowledge except what He pleases. His Throne doth extend over the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of them both tires Him not, and He is the Most High, the Supreme in Glory” – (Quran 2:255).
Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) will be blessed by ALLAH to intercede on the Day of Judgement and thus, he is known as “Sahib u’sh Shafa’ah” the One Endowed with Intercession on the Day of Judgement.
Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) himself said: “I shall set forth to ask permission to come to my Lord, and permission will be given, and when I shall see my Lord I shall prostrate myself (myself underneath ALLAH’s Throne). He will leave me thus for such time as it pleases Him, and then it will be said [to me]: ‘Raise your head (‘O Muhammad! Peace Be Upon Him). Ask and it will be granted. Speak and it will be heard. Intercede and your intercession will be accepted’. So I shall raise my head and praise Him with a form of praise that He will teach me. Then I shall intercede and He then (ALLAH) will say, ‘By My Power, and by My Majesty, and by My Supremacy, and by My Greatness, I will take out of Hell (Fire) whoever said: ‘None has the right to be worshipped except ALLAH’'” – (Sahih Bukhari).
– “Biblical prophecies” avows Margaret S King “and the scrolls had stated that when the last messenger (referred to as the Messiah) arrived, the dead would be resurrected…The Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be upon Him) revealed God’s promise of resurrection” – (op. cit., 2012, pp. 443). Talmud also accords to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him), whom the Rabbis called as the King Messiah: “The Holy One, blessed be He, will say to Messiah (on the Day of Resurrection): ‘Ask of Me anything and I shall give it to you'” – (Sukkah 52a) – (Raphael Patai. The Messiah Texts, Wayne State University Press, Detroit, 2015, p. 167).
99. Khatim u’r Rusul Wa Khatim u’l Anbiya – the Last of the Messengers and the Last of the Prophets of ALLAH: Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) is the Last Prophet and the Last Messenger of ALLAH and he is the Seal of both the Prophecy and the Messengership. ALLAH, the Holy One, bears witness to this fact in the Holy Quran and says: “Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of ALLAH, and the Seal of the Prophets: and ALLAH has full knowledge of all things” – (33:40).
– It is said that Prophet King Messiah – will be the last Prophet redeemer as asserted in the Rabbinical text – (Patai, op. cit., 2015, p. xxxi).
