Our relationship with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is unlike that of other faiths; it is a vibrant and living bond. Allah states in the Quran, “Know that among you is the Messenger of Allah.” This verse, revealed during the Prophet’s time, reminds us of the ever-present connection we have. He listens, he sees our actions, feels joy in our good deeds, seeks forgiveness for us, and answers our salutations.
