The Prophet Muhammad in the Sunni Muslim Creed

Excerpted from the classic of Islamic systematic theology:

Al-Aqidah al-Tahawiyyah
by

Ab Ja'far Amad ibn Muammad al-aw

(4th c. Hijr / 10th c. CE)
May Allah have mercy upon him.

About the chosen one, Muhammad,

we all have believed:
Hes the prophet and the messenger

with whom God is well pleased.

.
Preeminent of all the messengers
and the one they prayed behind,
The finality and the foremost
of the prophets to mankind.

Paragon of all the pious
who serve Allah dutifully.
.


And the one the Lord of the Worlds
loves especially. .

Claiming prophecy after him

is heresy and deviance.

And he was sent to guide all jinn and men
with truth and radiance. .
