The more than alive

The story below reminds me of these books by Bobin, Louise Amour  and The More than alive.  He is undoubtedly a wonderful spiritual writer.

News spread across the town and the business transactions came to halt. People ran towards the Mosque not knowing what to do. Life came to an end, sadness became widespread. A community left without an Imam, a city left without a statesman, and a nation left leaderless. Everyone was in shock, the calamity had befallen, God had summoned one of His beloved creation back, the Messenger of Allah Muhammad Arabi (Peace be upon him) had passed away.

then Abu Bakar (R.A.) gave his historical sermon 

“And now, he who worships Muhammad (Peace be upon him) Muhammad is dead now! But he who worships Allâh, He is Ever Living and He never dies."  Muhammad  is no more than a Messenger, and indeed (many) Messengers have passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you then turn back on your heels (as disbelievers)? And he who turns back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah, and Allah will give reward to those who are grateful. (Quran 3/144)
