Living The Quran Through The Living Quran QAIM Institute

Allah has guaranteed His final Prophet to have the highest rank in this  world and also the next. Not only does he enjoy his own status which  Allah grants him, but he is also given the right to intercede.  Companions of the Prophet longed to be by his side in this life and  craved his company in the world to come. Can we get to a position where  we are his neighbours in Paradise? What does Allah have in store for his  Beloved Prophet Muhammad?

The Quran makes it clear to Muslims that we are not a cult of  personalities. We do not worship people – neither Prophets, Messengers,  Imams, nor scholars. We worship Allah. However, as Prophet Muhammad  plays such a prominent role in Islam, some people felt that it would be  hard to continue on without him – however Allah would remind the Muslims  that we must continue – as death will occur to everyone. Do we have a  conclusive answer as to what happened to the Prophet? Did he die a  “natural death” due to old age? Was it the poison he was given during  the event which took place in the Battle of Khaybar? Or did someone  else, perhaps someone close to him, force something into his mouth while  he was sick and on his death bed in Medina as some hadith have clearly  noted? Do we know those people? Do we know their motives? Do we know if  they poisoned the Prophet in his last days on this Earth?

Commentary  of Surah Muhammad (47) - Summary and Points to Learn Per Verse. In Part  Two, we review verses nineteen (19) to thirty-eight (38).

The Prophet worked hard for 23-years – in Mecca and Medina – and brought  a faith to the Quraysh and the world a ‘new religion’ which would  feature teachings such as: Monotheism, Prophethood, and the Day of  Resurrection. In addition, he brought the practical rulings of praying,  fasting, pilgrimage, charity and many more. Was Islam “complete” and  “perfect” with these teachings or was there something else “missing”  that had to be declared AGAIN on a MASSIVE SCALE? What happened before  the death of Prophet Muḥammad after his farewell hajj in the event known  as Ghadeer Khumm?

The Prophet was able to attract people to the message of Allāh based on  numerous factors – yes, Allāh ‘changes’ the heart, but at the same time,  the character of the Prophet played a huge role in the promotion and  progress of Islam. The Messenger had the best morals and etiquette – and  how is that not possible when he had the best teacher and nurturer –  Allāh. What did he do in his decision-making process and how does Allāh  describe this in the Quran? We discuss this role of the Prophet in this  episode.
