Can we pray behind an Imam who doesnt believe that Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is not Afzal-ul-Ambiya?

Answered by 

Shaykh Navalur Rahman

The imam of our masjid does not consider Mohammed (PBUH) as afzal-ul-ambiya. He says that all prophets are equal in rank and no one is superior to others. People have also heard him saying that as Mohammed (PBUH) is a bashar, he also might have committed some sins. Kya unke peeche namaz padhna durust hai? 2.Can we take house loan from HDFC bank. Can we buy a house with money taken as house loan. The bank takes 7% interest. Please note that the person doesn’t have a house of his own. In that case is there any possibility of taking such a loan.

Any imam who says that there is no distinction between the messengers and that they are all equal is ignorant. Does he not know, and is a not familiar with the first verse of the third part of the Quran? Or maybe he has not read Allah saying: “These are the Messengers. We have given some preference over others? This text is explicit, thus, it’s mandatory to believe it. And when it has been established that there are different levels and different grades and ranks of prophets then the next question of who is in which rank is also told to us and proven to us by the sayings of the messenger. That’s why it is imperative an important to delegate the rank of the best and the highest and most respectful of the prophets to Mohamed bin Abdullah (PBUH). And whoever considers Mohamed (PBUH) as a common man that can make mistakes is wrong; and this mistake can lead him/her to misguidance. Claiming that he is a man is correct and but he was a special man Claiming that he is similar to all other people who can make mistakes is misguidance; because all prophets are protected from committing sins. Especially the best all prophets; obviously, he would be protected from committing sins.

If you have to give interest on a loan taken from the bank then taking that loan is not correct; even if you feel a necessity to buy a house. even then we cannot take such a loan but there are some banks and financial institutions that are in existence today Wu give loans based on rules established by sonic law thus. Thus, in Chicago there are two such institutions which have had positive results in our area. If there are such institutions in your area which give loans without interest then it is allowed; otherwise not.
