Rings of the
Promised Messiah
peace be upon him
To wear a ring is a Sunnah, practise of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be on him. However, the ring the Holy Prophetsawwore was not without a purpose. It showed the majesty of Allah and that the Prophetsaw was Allah’s messenger. The Holy Prophetsaw used his ring on the seal when writing to lead-
ers of nations, which served as his signature. It read “Muhammad Rasulullah” – meaning, “Muhammad, the messenger of Allah”. What’s interesting is that the Holy Prophetsaw did not want his name – “Muhammad” – to be above “Allah” when it was inscribed on the ring. | 20
