The perfection of the Nabi

· 2 Rajab 1439 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I got a thought in my mind that we say that Allah is perfect and has no flaws. We also say that the Prophets and the religion Islam are also perfect and have no flaws. How can we reconcile them without likening the Prophets and Islam to Allah?

Answer

A nabi in his nubuwwat is perfect. The perfection in nubuwwat is different to the perfection in the creation of Allah. The perfection in respect to Allah Ta`ala is such that nobody can reach up to the level of the grandeur of Allah Ta`ala.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
