When I collected
Qur’anic verses about Muhammad Rasoolullah (S.W.A.S) the collection covered 74
pages. The present collection is the smallest possible collection.
HIS COMING
WAS HERALDED
Supplication of
Prophet Ibrahim
“Our Lord, raise in their midst (Our descendants) a Messenger from among
them, who should recite to them Your verses, and teach them the Book and the Wisdom,
and cleanse them of all impurities (spiritual)”

supplication of prophet Ibrahim and his son Ismill while raising the walls of
Ka’bah)

when Isa, son of Maryam, said,
“O
children of Israil, I am a messenger of Allah sent towards you, confirming the
Torah that is (sent down) before me, and giving you the good news of a
messenger who will come after me, whose name will be Ahmad. But when he (the
promised one) came to them with manifest signs, they said, .This is a clear
magic.
(As-saff 61/06)
HIS CREDENTIAL
Untutored,
unlettered

Faith
The Messenger has
believed in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and the believers as
well. All have believed in Allah and His Angels and His Books and His
Messengers”.
(Al-Baqarah
02/285 p)
(Believe i.e. Faith in Allah entails doing what He has commanded to do
and not doing what He has forbidden)
The most
Comprehensive
verse
Allah enjoins
Adl (justice),
Ehsan (giving without right or claim)
Eita-e-Zil-Qurba (giving relatives their due rights),
and forbids
Fahsha (All forms of indecencies)
Munkir (evil deeds)
and Bghe
(transgression).
He instructs you that
you may be mindful.
(An-Nahl
16/90)
(According to Muslim scholars this is the most
comprehensive verse, it embraces all the deeds a man is capable of doing.)
The perfect religion
Today, I have
perfected your religion for you, and have completed My blessings upon you, and
chosen Islam as Din (religion and way
of life) for you.
(Al-Ma’idah
05/03 p)
O you who believe
enter Islam completely.
(Al-Baqarah
02/208 p)
(0ne cannot be selective about injunctions of Islam.)
Total submission
Say, “My prayers, my
offerings my life and my death are for Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.
(Al-An’am
06/162)
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR PREACHNG
Invite (people) to
the way of your Lord with wisdom and good counsel. And argue with them in the
best of manners.
(An-Nahal
16/125 p)
Do not revile those whom they
invoke other than Allah, lest they should revile Allah out of spite, without
having knowledge. This is how We have made the deeds of every community
attractive in their sight. Then, to their Lord is their return, after which He
shall tell them what they have been doing.
(Al-An’am 06/108)
And recite what has been revealed to you of
the Book of your Lord. There is none who can change His words, if you do so,
you will not find a refuge beside Him.
(Al-Kahaf 18/27)
Say, “O people, the
truth has come to you from your Lord. So, whoever accepts guidance accepts it
in his own benefit, and whoever goes astray does so to his own detriment. And I
am not responsible for you.
(Yunus
10/108)
INSOLENCE
OF INFIDELS
The disbelievers say, “This is a magician, a
sheer liar. Has he (not) turned all the gods into single God? It is very strange
thing indeed.
(Sad 38/4, 5)
When they see you, they take you as a
laughing stock, (saying) “Is this the man whom Allah has chosen as messenger?
He would have led us astray from our gods, had we not been so firm towards them.
(Al-Furqan 25/41, 42)
They say, .O you to whom the Zikr
(the Qur‘an) has been revealed, you
are surely insane.
(Al-Hijr 15/06)
Keep reminding (them),
because by the grace of your Lord, you are neither a soothsayer, nor a mad man.
(At-Tur
52/29)
Then said the chiefs of his nation whom we
made affluent in the worldly life, “this man is nothing but a human being. He
eats what you eat, and drinks from what you drink.
If you obey a human like yourselves, then you
will be absolute losers. Does he promise you that when you die and are turned
into dust and bones, you are to be brought forth? Far too improbable is what
you are being promised.
(Al-Mu’minoon
23//33-38)
JEWS/CRISTIANS
Obstinacy
They said, .Become Jews or
Christians, and you will find the right path...
Say: .Instead, (we follow) the
faith of Ibrahim, the upright, - and he was not one of those who associate
partners with Allah.
(Al-
Baqarah 02/135)
The Jews and
Christians say ”We are the sons of Allah, and His favorite”.
Say “Why would He
punish you for your sins?
(Al-Mai’idah
05/18 p)
Say, (to Jews) If the
last abode with Allah is specially for you, to the exclusion of all people,
then make a wish for death, if you are true.
But they will never
wish for it because of what their hands sent ahead. Allah is all aware of
unjust.
(Al-Baqarah
02/94-95)
The Jews say,”Uzair
(Ezra) is son of Allah, and the Christians say Masih( the Christ) is son of
Allah.” This is this is saying of their mouth. They imitate the saying of
earlier disbelievers. May Allah ruin them, how far they are turned back from
the truth.
(At-Taubah
09/30)
Preaching
To Them
Say, .O people of the Book, come
to a word common between us and between you, that we worship none but Allah,
that we associate nothing with Him and that some of us do not take others as
Lords instead of Allah. Then, should they turn back, say, Bear witness that we
are Muslims. O people of the Book, why do you argue about Ibrahim, while the
Torah and the Injil were not revealed until after him? Have you, then, no
sense?
(Al-Imran
03/64-65)
Do not debate with
the people of the Book unless it is in the best of manners, except those of
them who commit injustice.
(Al-Ankabut
29/46)
HIS GRIEF
So, (O Prophet)
perhaps you are going to kill yourself after them, out of grief, if they do not
believe in this discourse.
(Al-Kahaf
18/06)
Indeed We know that what they say
makes you sad, because it is not you whom they reject, but the transgressors
actually deny the signs of Allah.
(Al-An’am
06/ 33)
SOLACE AND
ENCOURAGEMENT
I swear
by the forenoon, and by the night when it becomes peaceful,
-
your Lord (O Prophet,) has
neither forsaken you,
-
nor has become displeased.
-
Surely the Hereafter is
much better for you than the present life.
-
And of course, your Lord
will give you so much that you will be pleased.
-
Did He not find you an
orphan, and give you shelter?
-
And He found you unaware
of the way (the Shariah), then He guided you.
-
And He found you in need,
then made you need-free.
(Al-Duha 93/01-08)
And if they reject you, so did
reject the people of Nuh (Noah) and Ad and Thamud, and the people of Ibrahim
and the people of Lut(Lot), and the people of Madyan as well. Musa was (also)
rejected.
(Al-Hajj
22/ 42-44)
We know that your
heart feel distressed for what they say. So proclaim the purity an glory of
your Lord, and be among them who prostrate themselves (before Allah), and
worship your Lord until comes to you that which is certain.
(Al-Hijr
15/98,99)
THE BELIEVERS
(The believers) have
said “We have listened and we have obeyed”
(Al-Baqarah
02/285 (p))
Surely, there has
come to you, from your midst, a Messenger who feels it very hard if you face a
hardship, who is very anxious for your welfare, and for the believers he is
very kind, very merciful.
(At-Taubah
09/128)
Virtues
of Muslims
of Muslims
Surely Muslim men and
Muslim women, believing men and believing women,, devout men and devout women,
truthful men and truthful women, patient men and patient women, humble men and
humble women, and the men who give Sadaqah
(charity) and the women who give Sadaqah,
and the men who safeguard their private parts (against evil acts) and the
women who safeguard (theirs), and the men who remember Allah much, and the
women who remember (Him)- for them Allah has prepared forgiveness and great
reward.
(Al-Ahzab
33/35)
JIHAD
Fight them until
there is not Fitnah (idolatry) any more, and total obedience becomes
for Allah. So, if they desist, then, Allah is indeed watchful over what they do.
(Al-Anfal
08/39))
O Prophet, carries out Jihad
(struggle) against the disbelievers and hypocrites, and be strict with them.
And their abode is Jahannam (Hell), and it is an evil terminus.
(Al-Taubah
0973)
Prepare against them whatever
force you can, and the trained horses whereby you frighten Allah‘s enemy and
your own enemy and others besides them whom you do not know. Allah knows them.
(Al-Anfal
08/60 p)
HIS BATTLES
BADAR
The infidels set forth from their
home Makkah, waxing proud, intending to attack Madina and overpower Muslims.
Satan made their deeds look beautiful in their eyes, and said “None of the people can overpower you today.
Rasoolullah (S.W.A.S) set out
from Madina with his followers, (outnumbered and ill-equipped) the two groups
faced each other in the valley of Badar.
Muslims were on the
nearest end of the valley and the infidels were at the farthest.
Allah, in the dream
of Muslim showed the infidels fewer in number, so that Muslims seeing the
larger number of enemy, may not be demoralized, and showed them to the infidel many in numbers.
Allah inspired the
angels saying “I am with you. So, make firm the feet of those who believer. I
shall cast awe into the hearts of those who disbelieve. So strike at the necks,
and strike at every finger-joint of their (disbelievers).
But when the two
groups faced each other Satan turned back on his heels and said “ I quit you, I
am seeing what you do not see. I am scared of Allah and Allah is severe in
punishment.
Allah saved the
believers, and gave them victory over disbelievers
Thus Allah
accomplished what was destines to be done.
(Summarized)
(Al-Anfal
08/11, 42-44, 47-48)
AHZAB
Recall when the enemy
came upon you from the above and from below, and when the eyes were distracted,
and the hearts reached the throats, and you were thinking about Allah all sorts
of thought. At that time the believers were put to a trial and were shaken a
violent convulsion.
The hypocrites and
those having malady in their hearts were saying, Allah and His messenger did
not promise us but delusions, and when a group of them said “O people of Madina
you cannot stand the attack therefore go back.
But those who had
made a covenant with Allah that they would not turn their backs; and a covenant
with Allah has to be answered for,
Say (O prophet) “Flight
will never be of any use to you, if you flee from death or killing, and even
then you will not be left to enjoy (life) but for a little while.
O you who believe,
remember Allah’s favor to you, when the forces (of infidels) came upon you, and
We sent upon them a wind, and the forces (of angel) you did not see. (the wind
routed the enemy’s” tents and angels fought them, consequently they retreated
in disorder.)
(Summarize)
(Al-Ahzab
33/12, 42-44, 48)
Explanation
A coalition formed by
Banu Nazeer,Ghassan, Banu Asad, Banu Salim and Banu Sa’ad gathered an
army of 10,000, and marched towards Madina, in the month of Zi-Quad in 5th.
Hijri.
Rasoolullah (S.W.A.S) was not unaware, his sympathizers,
who were in almost all tribes in the vicinity of Madina were informing of the
progress of invading army.
Rasoolullah (S.W.A.S) had an army of 3000. Outnumbered,
on the advice of his companion Salman Farsi Rasoolullah (S.W.A.S) entrenched
himself.
The attacking army laid down a siege. The enemy could not
cross the trench, so they shot arrows and flung stones. The siege continued for
25 days.
With the passage of time, with no success, due extreme
cold and the problem of arranging provision for
this large army became severe and severe, as such the enemy became disheartened.
Then came the terrible wind, which uprooted their tents.
Consequently the enemy retreated, and ran away from the battle field in
disarray.
This was the last invasion Madinah ever faced.
After this battle the strength of enemy was broken
forever.
VICTORY OF
MAKKAH
But you thought that
the Messenger and the believers would never ever return to their families, and
it seemed good to your hearts, and you thought an evil thought and became a
people who are ruined (by their selfishness).
Al-Fateh
(48/12)
And He is the One who
restrained their hands from you and your hands from them in the valley of
Makkah after He had let you prevail over them, and Allah is watchful over what
you do. They are those who disbelieved and prevented you from the Sacred Mosque
(Al-Masjid-ul-Haram), and (prevented) the sacrificial animals that were
detained from reaching their due place.
And (Allah would have
allowed you to fight,) had there not been believing men and believing women
whom you did not know that you might have trampled them, and thus a painful
situation might have arisen for you because of them unknowingly; (This
situation was avoided) so that Allah may admit to His mercy whom He wills.
And if they (the
believing men and women) had moved (from Makkah), We would surely have punished
those of them who disbelieved with a painful punishment.
When the disbelievers
developed in their hearts indignation, the indignation of ignorance; then Allah
sent down tranquility from Himself upon His Messenger and upon the believers, and
made them stick to the word of piety, and they were very much entitled to it
and competent for it. And Allah is All-Knowing about everything.
Indeed, Allah has
made true to His Messenger the dream (shown) with truth:
You will definitely
enter the Sacred Mosque Insha’Allah (if Allah wills,) peacefully, with your
heads shaved, and your hairs cut short, having no fear. So He knew what you did
not know, and He assigned before that a victory, near at hand.
He is the One who has
sent His Messenger with Guidance and the religion of truth, so that He makes it
prevail over all religions. And enough is Allah for being a witness (to His
promise).
Al-Fateh
(48/24-28)
SPECIAL
STATUS
Covenant of
All Prophets
When Allah made the prophets
enter into a covenant: (saying) .If I give you a book and wisdom, then comes to
you a messenger verifying what is with you, you shall have to believe in him,
and you shall have to support him. He said, Do you affirm and accept my
covenant in this respect? They said, .We affirm.. He said, .Then, bear witness,
and I am with you among the witnesses.
(Al-Imran 03/81)
The Last
Prophet
Muhammad is not a
father of any of your men, but he is a messenger of Allah and the last prophet.
(
Al-Ahzab 33/40)
Send Blessings
and Salam to him
Surely, Allah and His angels send
blessings to the Prophet. O you who believe, do pray Allah to bless him, and
send your Salam (prayer for his being in peace) to him in abundance.
(Al-Ahzab 33/56)
Command
to obey him
O you who believe, obey Allah and
obey the Messenger and those in authority among you.
(Al-Nisa 04/59
p) 92
Jews and
Christians
also to obey
O people of the Book, Our
Messenger has come to you making things clear to you after a gap between
Messengers, lest you were to say, .there
has not come to us a bearer of good news, and a Warner.. So, now there has come
to you a bearer of good news, and a Warner.
(Al-Maida 05/19)
HIS
HUMANITY
Say, (O prophet)” .Surely, I am
but a human being like you;
it is revealed to me that your
God is the One Go.
(Al-Kahaf 18/110
p)
Muhammad is but a
messenger, there have been messengers before him. So, if he dies or killed,
would you turn back on your heels?
(Al-Imran
03/144 p)
We have sent
Messengers before you, and gave them wives and children. It is not for a
messenger to bring a verse without the will of Allah. For every age there some
rules prescribed.
(Ar’Ra’d
13/38)
HIS PROTOCL
O you who believe, do not enter the houses of
the Prophet, unless you are permitted for a meal, not (so early as) to wait for
its preparation. But when you are invited, go inside. Then, once you have had
the meal, just disperse, and (do) not (sit for long) being keen for a chat.
This (conduct of yours) hurts the Prophet, but he feels shy of (telling) you
(about it), but Allah is not shy of the truth.
And when you ask anything from them (the
blessed wives of the Prophet), ask them from behind a curtain. That is better
for the purity of your hearts and their hearts.
It is not allowed for you that you hurt
Allah‘s Messenger, nor that you ever marry his wives after him. Indeed, it
would be an enormity in the sight of Allah.
(Al-Ahzab 33/53)
O you who believe, do not proceed ahead of
Allah and His Messenger, and fear Allah. Surely Allah is All-Hearing,
All-Knowing.
O you who believe, do not raise your voices
above the voice of the Prophet, and be not loud when speaking to him, as you
are loud when speaking to one another, lest your good deeds should become void
while you are not aware. Surely, those who lower their voices before Allah‘s
Messenger are the ones whose hearts Allah has tested for piety; for them there
is forgiveness, and a great reward.
As for those who call you from behind the
chambers, most of them have no sense. Had they remained patient until you come
out to them, it would have been much better for them. And Allah is
Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.
(Al-Hujrat 49/1-5)
DIRECTIONS
TO HIS WIVES
O prophet, say to your wives, .If
you intend (to have the pleasure of) worldly life and its charm, then come on,
and I shall give you some stuff, and release you in a handsome fashion; but if
you intend (to gain the pleasure of) Allah and His messenger and (the
betterment of) the Hereafter, then, Allah has prepared a great reward for those
of you who are good in their deeds.
O wives of the Prophet, whoever
from among you will commit a clearly shameful act, the punishment will be
doubled for her; and it is easy for Allah to do so.
And whoever of you stays obedient
to Allah and His messenger, and acts righteously, We shall give her twice her
reward, and We have prepared for her a prestigious provision.
Remain in your homes, and do not
display (your) beauty as it used to be displayed in the days of earlier
ignorance.
and establish Salah, and pay
Zakah, and obey Allah and His messenger.
Allah only intends to keep (all
sorts of) filth away from you, O members of the family (of the prophet), and to
make you pure through a perfect purification.
And be mindful of Allah‘s verses
and the wisdom that is recited in your homes. Surely, Allah is All-Kind,
All-Aware.
(Al-Ahzab
33/ 28-31 &33-34)
HIS
WIVES
SANCTIFIED
O Prophet, say to
your wives, “If you intend (to have the pleasures of) worldly life and its
charm, then come on, and I shall give some stuff, and release you in a handsome
fashion, but if intend (to gain the betterment of) the Herafter, then Allah has
prepared a great reward for those of you who are good in their deeds.
O wives of Prophet,
whoever from among you will commit a clearly shameful act, the punishment will
be doubled for her; and it is easy for Allah to do so.
(Al-Ahzab
33/ 28-30)
O Prophet tell your
wives and your daughters and the women of believers that they should draw down
their shawls over them. That will it more likely that they are recognized,
hence not teased.
