تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Blessed is He in whose hand is Dominion,
and He is over all things Competent ~ Surah Mulk 67:1

وقال تعالى ‏ :

فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ
So Blessed is Allah , the Best of Creators ~ Surah Mu’minun 23:14

وقال تعالى ‏ :

وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْقُرَىٰ آمَنُوا وَاتَّقَوْا لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَرَكَاتٍ مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ
وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبُوا فَأَخَذْنَاهُم بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allah ,
We would have opened upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied (the messengers), so We seized them for what they were earning.” ~ Surah Al A’raaf 7:96

…

In a Hadith-e-Qudsi, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala says :

Inni Iza Uti’tu Radhitu ~

“O my Bandah (Servants)! When I am obeyed

I become Razi (happy) with you”

Wa Iza Radhitu Baaraktu ~

“When I become happy then I give Barakah.

Wa Laysa Li Barakatee Nihaayah

~ “There is no limit to My Barakah.”

Extracted from ~ Tafseer of Surah Maryam

وَاذْكُرْ فِي الْكِتَابِ مُوسَىٰ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مُخْلَصًا وَكَانَ رَسُولًا نَّبِيًّا

And mention in the Book, Moses. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a messenger and a prophet ~ Surah Maryam 19:51

What is the Difference Between a Rasul and a Nabi ?

Whilst there are differences among the Scholars regarding a Nabi and a Rasul, the majority explain the ffg:

• The word Rasul is literally translated as a ‘Messenger’(one who conveys a message).

• The word Nabi originates from Naba (news) and literally means an ‘Informer’.

• Both a Rasul and a Nabi are referred to as ‘Nabi’s’ … But, a Rasul is Nabi who was given a Risaalat (a Divine Scripture – Quraan, Torath, Zaboor, Injeel) … a Shariah  (religious laws) of his own.

• Therefore, there were certain people Allah chose, who were not just Nabi’s but also Rasul’s.

…

A Simple Analogy :

We choose and select ‘Prefects’ in a school. Certain pupils are nominated for this title and duty. But then, we have somebody … possibly the ‘Head Prefect’, who has more accolades and added responsibilities. He has more distinguishing characteristics and traits and is a bit more special than the other prefects. 

Similarly,
From the Messengers of Allah there were certain special one’s who had been given an added responsibility by means of a Divine Scripture (a Shariat) …..who became Rasul’s.

Hence, every “Rasul” is a “Nabi,” but not every “Nabi” is a “Rasul” …
