Nabuwat aur Risalat Me Farq - Dr Israr Ahmad
This lecture clarifies the distinction between prophethood (Nabuwat) and apostleship (Risalat). It explains that while all apostles are prophets, not all prophets are apostles. Prophethood involves receiving divine revelation, while apostleship entails conveying that message to humanity. The lecture posits that prophethood is directed towards God, making it superior in rank, while apostleship is a duty directed towards creation. The speaker highlights the inward nature of receiving revelation (prophethood) and the outward act of delivering it (apostleship), drawing a parallel to an antenna receiving and transmitting signals. The discussion also addresses the view that prophethood holds a higher status as it focuses on the connection with God, while apostleship is a responsibility towards people. The lecture emphasizes that the heart and soul of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) were the receiver and transmitter of divine guidance.
