The centre of Islam is the Prophet Muhammad (Sall Allahu Alaihi wa Sallam), and his superiority to all else in creation. He is superior to every other human being, and every other prophet. He is the reason the World was made. This book provides Islamic arguments to prove the superiority of the Prophet (Sall Allahu Alaihi wa Sallam). As such it is of interest to the ordinary Muslim, who may increase his or her faith by means of it, and to the non-Muslim, who will find it eye opening to see what Muslims think about their Prophet (Sall Allahu Alaihi wa Sallam) and to the most learned professor, who can see here how a great Muslim Scholar thinks and argues.
Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Barelvi (Rahmatualahi Alaih) was the most important Muslim of his age, living in India between 1856 and 1921. He was a defender of traditional Islam against attacks on it by Westerners, but especially by Modernists and Wahhabis. And the centre of all their attacks was to run down the Prophet (Salla Allahu Alaihi wa Sallam). They all wanted to rule the Muslims, but the freedom of the Muslims is defended by the superiority of the Prophet (Sall Allahu Alaihi wa Sallam), which sets a limit to Worldly arrogance. This book is thus the very centre of the work of Imam Ahmad Raza Khan Barelvi (Rahmatullahi Alaih) and of Islam itself. No book could be more important for him, and for us, for Sunni Islam is the true Islam.
