A Study of the Status of the Prophet (PBUH) in the Light of the Holy Qur’ān and Its Effects

قرآن حکیم کی روشنی میں مقام مصطفیٰ ﷺاور اسکے اثرات کا مطالعاتی جائزہ

Abstract

The Qur’ān delineates the unparalleled status of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), presenting him not merely as a messenger but as the ultimate exemplar of divine guidance and moral perfection. The recognition of his Maqām (exalted rank) constitutes an essential component of Islamic belief, wherein obedience, reverence, and love for the Prophet are directly linked to the completeness of faith. This elevated position, as articulated in various Qur’ānic verses, manifests in two dimensions: theological significance and socio-practical impact. Theologically, Maqām-e-Muṣṭafā affirms his role as the medium of divine mercy, the seal of prophethood, and the embodiment of Qur’ānic values. Practically, it inspires individual spiritual refinement, fosters collective solidarity, and establishes a framework for justice and ethical conduct within society. By integrating doctrinal principles with practical imperatives, the Qur’ān underscores the enduring relevance of the Prophet’s status for the preservation of Islamic identity and the moral flourishing of the Muslim Ummah. This study, therefore, provides an analytical exploration of the Qur’ānic discourse on Maqam-e-Mustafa and its transformative impacts on both individual and communal levels.
