“If one delves deeply into the circumstances surrounding the advent of Allah’s Messengersa, fully grasping the state of the world during his era and acknowledging the profound impact he had post his arrival, they are profoundly moved, instinctively proclaiming, اَللّٰھُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ [i.e., O Allah, bestow Your blessings upon Muhammadsa]. I assert with utmost sincerity that this is not mere conjecture or a product of imagination. The Holy Quran, alongside world history, stands as a testament to the profound deeds of the Noble Prophetsa. Otherwise, what prompted the special revelation reserved solely for him:
اِنَّ اللّٰہَ وَمَلٰٓئِکَتَہٗ یُصَلُّوۡنَ عَلَی النَّبِیِّ ؕ یٰۤاَیُّہَا الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا صَلُّوۡا عَلَیۡہِ وَسَلِّمُوۡا تَسۡلِیۡمًا
“[‘Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet. O ye who believe! [you] also should invoke blessings on him and salute [him] with the salutation of peace.’] (Surah al-Ahzab, Ch. 33: V. 57)“Such a proclamation was not extended to any other prophet. With unparalleled success and commendation, it was this singular individual named Muhammad [i.e., the praised one] who graced the world. صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم [Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.]”
