The greatest blessing Allaah has bestowed upon this nation is that He sent to them His noble Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) to guide to everything beneficial, during his lifetime an in the future, and to warn them from every harmful thing in this life and in the hereafter.
And the death of our Prophet ﷺ–O beloved—is great information containing great admonitions, and noble lessons for the one who hears, understands, looks, and ponders. And that is because our Prophet ﷺ is a man who dies like all men die. Allah did not grant any human immortality.
Thus the Prophet ﷺ was human. He died as humans die, and he was shrouded just as other Muslims are. And he was buried and dirt was placed over him ﷺ
In this book the erudite scholar and doctor, Shaikh Sālih bin Fawzān al-Fawzān brings the story behind the life of one of the most notable scholars of the 18th century, Shaikh ul-Islām Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhāb, may Allāh shower His Mercy upon him. Prophetic narrations state that in every era Allāh has placed scholars who remain firm upon calling to the Book of Allāh and upon enlightening the people in spite of the efforts of their opponents to dissuade or harm them.
Shaikh al-Fawzān states: “Each time there appears a caller to the
truth, a caller from falsehood stands in opposition to him.” From these callers to the truth is the Imām and reviver of the religion, Shaikh Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhāb.
The Prophet Muhammad (Sallahu alayhi wassalam) said: “The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the earth. Some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain-water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the rain-water and Allah benefited the people with it and they utilized it for drinking (making their animals drink from it) and to irrigate the land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no benefits). The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah’s Religion (Islam) and gets benefit (from the knowledge) which Allah (Azawajal) has revealed through me (the Prophet) and learns and then teaches it to others.
