Concept Of Ummah And Superiority Of The Prophets
This traditional concept is based on those ahadith of intercession and some other misplaced interpretation of Quranic verses that give absolute superiority to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) over all the other prophets (peace be upon the all). Contrary to this, Quran paints a totally different picture. However, I don’t find this statement “it is Allah’s Ahsan on us that we are from the ummah of Rasool (saw).” objectionable if put in the right context i.e. it is Allah’s ahsan on every ummah who followed their respective prophets.” We were having somewhat similar discussion in the following thread as well, please feel free to add anything to the discussion: Discussion 22920
