Role of Mohammad in our life -

The one who carefully relates, examines, and integrates all incoming information -everything that passes between the ears - before accepting and applying it in life is, in truth, referring back to one’s own pure Allah, that is, the uncorrupted conscience, and to one’s own Mohammad, the faculty of sound judgment and common sense.

To “obey Allah and obey the Rasul” is, in essence, not a call to the worship of an unseen external deity or to the uncritical following of a holy historical figure. Rather, it is a profound directive to remain faithful to one’s inner moral compass (Allah) and to heed the articulating voice of that conscience (Rasul Allah). The Quranic command أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ signifies alignment with our inherent script - Al-Kitab, the inner law - through the active engagement of intellect and discernment.

When ʿaql - intellect infused with common sense - is fully awakened, a person manifests the quality of Mohammad: one who investigates, verifies, and consciously approves every piece of information before allowing it to shape action. Mohammad never follows anything blindly. It always aligns with the pure Conscience (Allah). In this sense, anyone who studies attentively, scrutinizes carefully, and evaluates thoughtfully before implementation embodies the Mohammad described in the Quran - not as a historical figure, but as an ever-living epistemic function within the human being.

The true approver and validator of all informational impulses - whether they appear as insight (wahi), knowledge (ʿilm), or transmitted reports (nabiyyeen, informational signals) must pass through Mohammad, that is, intellect operating through disciplined common sense. Without this internal Mohammad, no information can be trusted, and no inspiration can be authenticated.

If intellect and common sense remain dormant, genuine inspiration never truly arrives. What follows instead is herd consciousness: imitation without understanding, repetition without verification, and obedience without awareness. Such a state replaces living guidance with borrowed certainty and transforms the human being from a conscious evaluator into a passive receiver.

Thus, obedience in its truest sense is not submission to external authority, but fidelity to inner clarity - where pure conscience guides, intellect judges, and understanding precede action.
