One of the most important aspects of the virtues of the Final Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is that Allah Almighty has Himself mentioned His dignity and glory in the Holy Quran at many places. A few such verses have been mentioned below:
Command to seek forgiveness for sins after appearing
before the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ
وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم
وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذ ظَّلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ
جَاءُوكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا
اللَّهَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا ﴿٦٤﴾
And
if when they do injustice to their own souls (by committing sins), O Beloved,
they should then present themselves in your august court, and then seek
forgiveness from Allah, and the...
Messenger
intercedes for them; so they would definitely find Allah the Greatest Acceptor
of repentance, the Most Merciful.
[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)]
