The Greatest Master Muhyiddin Ibn al-Arabi

Allah the Exalted and Magnificent once offered this choice to the beloved Muhammad, upon him be peace:

It is your preference to be a Servant Prophet or a Prophet King?

Archangel Gabriel witnessed the humility of the glorious Messenger, who instantly responded:

I prefer to be a Servant Prophet.
