Lesson 21Age 38 – 609CE

Building up to Prophet hood

Before Prophet hood all Prophet’s qualify as pious people.

The greatest Awliya of this world cannot reach that stage.

Ibrahim (A.S) – Guided in Childhood to reject idols.

Yusuf (A.S) – Reject seduction Yahya (A.S) – In Qur’an – “Awarded wisdom

while he was a child”.

Prophet was saved from all evil. (As covered previously)

What is the explanation? Examples? Qadi Iyad: Prophets are protected from

poltyheism, disbelief and evil. They are Rashid and Hanif.

Since Prophet hood was already written for the Prophet.

Allah was cleansed and nurtured the Prophet’s heart for a period of 40 years. Why?

Because the status of the wahi is too prestigious.

As the moment of Prophet hood came down, the first sign were truthful and pious dreams.
