the Prophet] and glorify Him [i.e., Allah] in the morning and the
evening. (Surat al-Fath: 8-9)
The manner of speech by which believers defend and support our
Prophet (saas) is one of the foremost features of the morality of their
speech. Allah explains that to pledge allegiance to the Prophet (saas) is
to pledging allegiance to Him: "Those who pledge you their allegiance
pledge allegiance to Allah. Allah's hand is over their hands. He who
breaks his pledge only breaks it against himself. But as for him who
fulfils the contract he has made with Allah, We will pay him an im-
mense reward." (Surat al-Fath: 10)
Thus, believers' love, devotion and obedience to the Prophet (saas)
arise from their faith in Allah. For this reason, at every opportunity, and
through everything they do and say, the faithful express their devotion
to the Prophet (saas), the wisdom of his advice and his superior moral
qualities, and defend him in the best possible way.
