He said,
"When the Prophet s.a.w. said, 'The portion of my Nation destined for the Hellfire is like the portion of Ibrahim destined for the fire of Nimrod,' he was giving the good news of salvation for his nation just as Allah had written salvation for Ibrahim : Ya naru kunee bardan wa salaman 'ala Ibraham ('O fire, be cool and safe for Abraham') [21:69] This is because the Prophet s.a.w. said, 'My Nation will never agree on error,' affirming that the Ummah will never accept wrong-doing, and thus Allah will save the Nation of Muhammad from the fire."
Shaikh Ahmad Faruqi said that Shah Naqshband said: "The Nation of Muhammad s.a.w. includes whoever comes after the Prophet s.a.w.. It is composed of three types:
1. Ummatu-d-Da'wah: absolutely everyone who came after the Prophet s.a.w. and simply heard his message. That the Prophet s.a.w. came to all people without exception is clear from many verses in the Qur'an; furthermore, his Community is the Moderating Witness over all other Communities, and the Prophet s.a.w. is the one Witness over everybody, including the other Communities and their own respective witnesses.
2. Ummatu-l-Ijaba: those who accepted the message.
3. Ummatu-l-Muttaba'a: those who accepted the message and followed the footsteps of the Prophet .
All of these categories of the Prophet's Community are saved. If they are not saved by their deeds, then they are saved by the Intercession of the Prophet s.a.w., according to his saying, "My intercession is from the big sinners of my Community."
