Answer: class="Paragraph">I think
that such voting is against religious spirit. All Prophets of Allah deserve
equal respect. The Qur’ān says that Muslims should not differentiate between the
Prophets of Allah:
Say [O
Muslims]: We believe in Allah and that which has been sent down to us and that
which has been sent down to Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob and to their offspring
and that which has been given to Moses and Jesus and that which has been given
to the Prophets by their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them and to
Him we have submitted. (2:136)
Various
Prophets were blessed with different signs and miracles according to their
addressees and according to their circumstances. God gave Noah (sws) an
exceptionally long life. He spoke to Moses (sws) and gave him various miracles.
He created Jesus (sws) in a miraculous way and gave him the power to bring the
dead to life. He blessed Muhammad (sws) with His final testament.
So we should
honour and revere each Prophet (sws) and stop comparing them. After all, what is
the need for this comparison when all prophets are prophets of Islam. Muslims
should do away with the habit of proving that the Prophet Muhammad (sws) is
superior to other Prophets. This is an unhealthy attitude.
