As-Salaam alaikum,

  About the above topic I was privileged to post, MIAW observed, among others, that "The Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, is neither amongst us, nor within us... he is in his grave, but his teachings, Knowledge and application of his hadith and Sunnah... are all among us"

  He said that I should always take my understanding and interpretations of the Holy Qur'an from the original Arabic text, tafseer of the known Mufassireen such as Ibn Katheer, Qurtabi, etc.

 We have in the past discussed issues with MIAW, similar to this on this Forum. About your observation that I should always bring my understanding /interpretation of the Holy Qur'an in accordance with the original Arabic text and known Mufassireen, I have noted this. However, I must at this point, remind you of ayat 109 of Surat Kahfi of the Holy Qur'an :-

 "Say:If the ocean were ink (wherewith to write out) the words

  of my Lord, sooner would the ocean be exhausted than would 

  the words of my Lord, even if we added another ocean like it

  for its aid." (18:109)

...meaning that secrets coming from the letters, words and verses of the Holy Qur'an are so much, that if you keep writing now till end of the world and using the ocean as ink, the oceans would finish and still the interpretation of the Qur'an will not finish.. Ibn Katheer, Qurtabi, and all others inclusive. The Holy Qur'an is an endless ocean, whose shore and depth cannot be found or exhausted. 

So, yes! The Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, is AMONGST AND WITHIN us, just as Allah Ta'ala says in Surat Hujrat:--

 "WA'ALAMOO ANNA FEEKUM RASULULLAH... And know (that) Allah's Messenger is in you" (49:7). Know that the Prophet Is in you, his Light and his presence is with you every moment. He has been sent to every human being. How? The Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, said :- "Human beings are born on fitrah, innocence, his parents make him either Jewish or Christian or Zoroastrian." (Muslim)

Being born on Taqwa or Innocence in real terns means Muhammad (s), who is the real manifestation of the Beautiful Names of Allah. "Either his parents make him Christian, Jew or Zoroastrian", but in reality every newly born child is a Mu'min, a Muslim, and he could not have been a Muslim or a Mu'min if the Prophet, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, we're not there! So it means that a speck of the reality of the Prophet's Light is in every human being. As we grow from infant to adult age, that Light will ignite with love of the Prophet, through/with our sending /recital of Salawaat ala Nabiy and ardent worship of Allah Ta'ala.
