The Glorious Qur’an is one of the miracles of the Noble
Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.) which contain numerous Ayahs praising him. A selection of Ayahs
is reproduced below with short explanation:
Surah al-Ahzab Ayah
56, Allah says, “Verily, Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet
(s.a.w.a.s.), O you who believe! Send you also blessings on him, and you salute
him with submission.” It is a unique distinction of the Noble Prophet
(s.a.w.a.s.) that the Creator joins the creation in praising His Prophet
(s.a.w.a.s.)!
In Surah al-Nahl Ayat
89, Allah says, “On the Day when We call a witness against every nation from
their own people, We will call you, (Muhammad), as a witness to them all. We
have sent you the Book which clarifies all matters. It is a Guide, a mercy, and glad news to the Muslims.”
On the Day of Resurrection, every nation or community shall be called by a
witness as a leader which is normally a messenger. The followers of 124,000
prophets will be called by their prophets and the Noble Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.)
shall be called as a witness over 124,000 prophets! Naturally they include the
prophets Adam, Noah, Ibrahim, Musa and Ie’sa.
Surah al-An ‘am Ayat
162, Allah says, “(Muhammad), Say, “My prayer, sacrifice, life, and death are
all for Allah, the Lord of the
Universe.” The Noble Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.) asserted that his belief and
actions, life and death, everything for Allah. It may be inferred that his love
and hatred is also for Allah; there is no personal or emotional aspect
involved. Surah al-Najm Ayah 3-4, Allah
says, “He does not speak out of his personal desires. It (whatever he says) is
a revelation which has been revealed
to him.” Consequently, the love and respect shown by the Noble Prophet
(s.a.w.a.s.) towards Imam Ali (a.s.), Sayyida Fatima Zahra (s.a.), Imam Hasan
(a.s.) and Imam Husayn (a.s.), is also directed by Allah and not due to normal
human affection.
Surah alHashr Ayat 21,
Allah says, “Had We sent down this Qur’an on a mountain, you would seen it
humbled and rent asunder for fear of Allah.” Even some of the mountain
would break by the forceful words of Qur’an, but there are some stone-hearted
men who are not moved by it.
Surah al-Fath Ayat 8,
Allah says, “Indeed, We have sent you as a witness (over the deeds), a bearer
of glad news, and a Warner.” The
Noble Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.) by his knowledge may bring glad tidings to believers
and they shall enjoy Divine Mercy and elevated status in Paradise and he may
warn disbelievers and polytheists against torments in Hell because of
polytheism and disbelieve.
Surah al-Kahf Ayat
110, Allah says, “(Muhammad), Say, I am only a mortal like you, but I have
received revelation that there is
only one Lord.” The Noble Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.) did not say, “You are like
me” Human race started after the creation of first man-Hazrat Adam, but
according to a tradition, the Noble Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.) said, “Allah first
created my light (Noor)” (Ibne Abbas in Tabari, al-Khasais al-Kubra, in “Life
of Muhammad by Saeed Akhter Rizvi)
Surah al-Anbiya Ayat
107, Allah says, “(Muhammad), We have sent you for no other reason but to be
mercy to the Universe" We do not know the extent of Universe but
wherever Allah’s Lordship reaches, Noble Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.)’s mercy also
reaches there, as stated in Surah al-Fatiha Ayah 1, Allah says, “All
Praise belong to Allah, the Lord of the Universe”
Surah al-Isra Ayah 1,
Allah says, “Glory be to Him Who took His servant by night from Masjid
al-Haraam to Masjid al-Aqsa the precincts of which We have blessed that We show
him (some) of our signs. Verily, He is All-Hearing and All-Seeing.” The Mai’raj
is a unique distinction afforded to the Noble Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.)
