The Role of the Ambiya (Alaihimus Salaam)

In the Name of Allah, the Very Compassionate, the Very Merciful

We praise Him, and we send salutations to His Gracious Nabi

Purely by virtue of the fadhl and karam [grace and benevolence] of Allah Rabbul Izzat, He sent a Messenger to mankind for the guidance (Hidaayat) of the human race. The purpose of sending a Rasool was for humans to learn how to live their lives in a way with which Allah Rabbul Izzat is pleased and adopt in every facet of their lives the lifestyle which Allah Rabbul Izzat revealed through the agency of His Messengers.

The Rasools [Messengers] did not teach orally only. In fact,  they practically demonstrated. It is for this reason that Jinnaat and Malaaikah were not sent as Rasools, because showing all facets of the life of a human being can only be demonstrated by a human. The objective was to demonstrate and make others do the same.

The illustrious Ambiya Kiraam (Alaihimus Salaat was Salaam) therefore gave practical guidance in matters pertaining to the practical life of humans so that the Ummah follow them, and by virtue of following them they [humanity] can achieve the Pleasure of Allah.
