[quote]Salam,

Quote: You people will not even become satisfied if it would have been written “ Obey Muhammad”, because u r unable to understand the sense of OBEYING A MESSENGER,

[b]MY REPLY :- Who are unable to understand it is very clear. You could not be able yet why Almighty Allah says in the Qur’an “OBEY THE MESSENGER”. Every time HE says “OBEY ALLAH AND OBEY THE MESSENGER” not a single time HE says “obey Allah and obey Muhammad”. Why?  Because both are not same.

The word Messenger is derived from the word Message.  A Messenger delivers a Message.  To Obey the Messenger would thus mean to obey the message he is delivering.[/b]

[red]And obey Allah and obey the messenger and be cautious; but if you turn back, then know that only a clear deliverance of the message is (incumbent) on Our messenger <wa ma_ alar rasu_li il lal balaghul mubin (5:92)

And Allah has made for you of what He has created shelters, and He has given you in the mountains places of retreat, and He has given you garments to preserve you from the heat and coats of mail to preserve you in your fighting; even thus does He complete His favor upon you, that haply you may submit. But if they turn back, then on you devolves only the clear deliverance (of the message) <wa ma_ alar rasu_li il lal balaghul mubin. (16:81-82)

And if you (o people) reject (the truth), nations before you did indeed reject (the truth); and nothing is incumbent on the messenger but a plain delivering (of the message) <wa ma_ alar rasu_li il lal balaghul mubin.(29:18)

And obey Allah and obey the messenger, but if you turn back, then upon Our messenger devolves only the clear delivery (of the message) <wa ma_ alar rasu_li il lal balaghul mubin.(64:12)

Say: Obey Allah and obey the messenger; but if you turn back, then on him rests that which is imposed on him and on you rests that which is imposed on you; and if you obey him, you are on the right way; and nothing rests on the messenger but clear delivering (of the message) <wa ma_ alar rasu_li il lal bala_ghul mubin. (24:54)[/red]

[b]Now, if we look at these Ayaat, we notice that Allah has clearly pointed out the duty of the Messenger, i.e. that he must DELIVER the Clarity <Balaghul Mubeen.  We have seen that the Clarity or the Message of the Messenger is the Quraan.

Now I ask you a question:- “Had Muhammad not been a Messenger of Allah would people obey him”?

The answer is NO. Thus Obedience to the Prophet is BECAUSE he is the Messenger of Allah. Thus the two are NOT mutually exclusive obedience - one is highly dependent on the other.  It is the same as saying eat an apple and eat its nutrition.[/b]
