سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَسْرَى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى
Glory be to the One who took His servant by night from the Sacred Mosque to al-Aqṣā Mosque. (Al-Isrāʾ 17:1)
In the account of this great journey, the Prophet ﷺ is described as Allah’s servant. Servitude therefore does not lessen the honor of the prophetic station.
The selected servant’s dignity consists in perfect worship and obedience to the Creator.
