IS PROPHET OMNIPRESENT

Question:

1. Is the Prophet (PBUH) or any other being apart from Allah Omnipresent? Can we ask his help in our needs?

Answer: Praise be to Allah.

Saying that Prophet (PBUH) or any other is Omnipresent is totally baseless and trying to make prophet raised to the status of Allah as Christians have done to Jesus (PBUH).

 

Firstly:

 

Allah said to His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him):

Verily, you (O Muhammad) will die, and verily, they (too) will die[Az-Zumar 39:30]

And Allah said (interpretation of the meaning):

Muhammad is no more than a Messenger, and indeed (many) Messengers have passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you then turn back on your heels (as disbelievers)?…. [Aale ‘Imraan 3:144]

And We granted not to any human being immortality before you (O Muhammad); then if you die, would they live forever? [Al-Anbiyaa’ 21:34]

Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, in his speech after the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had died, “Whoever used to worship Muhammad, Muhammad has died, but whoever used to worship Allah, Allah is Alive and will never die.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari).

This and similar evidence indicates that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was a human being like all other human beings, who died as they die, and will never be immortal just as no one before him was immortal.

Whoever wants to put the Prophet beyond the human realm and claim that the Prophet is present in all places, is the one who should be asked to produce evidence (daleel). How does he know that the Prophet is omnipresent at all times? Moreover, those who make the same claim with regard to Allah (should know that) this is kufr, deviation and misguidance. This belief implies that Allah is present even in dirty places like bathrooms etc. – Glorified be Allah far above what they say.
