The bedouins and Arabs banged the prophet SAWW's door and called him O muhammad (Hey muhammad) the way the call each other, and Allah revealed to him that don't call him the way you call each other, it may happen that all your good deeds go to waste and you don't even realize it.
The prophet closest to Muhammad SAWW is Musa AS in the Quran which is why he is the most talked about messenger in the Quran
had to do hijrah,had to face tyrant king/Quraish, difficulty from own people, both were given shariah, both spoke to Allah on Toor and on Mairaaj
The prophet SAWW used to pray towards both Kaabah and Jerusalem when he was in Makkah, but when he moved to Madinah then he had to face Aqsa and his back was towards Kaabah. Musa AS used to complain to Allah about his Luqnat or about having his brother Haroon AS help him etc. But the Prophet SAWW didn't even verbally say anything about the Kaabah. Allah just says that we see your face turning towards the sky in sadness so Allah changed the Kaabah to honour the Messenger SAWW's wish. That is how much Allah subhana wa tala loved the prophet SAWW. When you know who's behind someone, you don't disrespect them. Allah is behind the messenger SAWW.
Sahih International
Indeed, We have granted you, [O Muhammad], al-Kawthar.
The prophet SAWW used to share a porch with Abu Lahb and they were neighbours. They could hear what was going on in each others homes. The prophet SAWW's son passed away. Abu Lahb was his uncle. And whatever hurtful thing is said by a family member hurts way more than hurtful words by total strangers. And family knows just what hurts you. Abu Lahb sang and was overjoyed and called him Abtar(one who has no legacy and who's tail is cut off). Batara muhammad batara muhammad(Implying that there was no one left to carry on his legacy and his name). This was revealed after this happened.
What is Kausar? Kausar is Mubaalga which means an incredibly large amount. Kausar includes a Hauz/river in Jannah from where the Prophet sallallahu alaiyhi wasallam will drink from and also give to the believers. Allah says he has given him a whole lot. It is not just limited to Kausar.
The Prophet SAWW's baby's death was made more painful by his uncle's words. Allah brought the Prophet SAWW's attention to Kausar in this difficult time. This teaches it how we need to have shukar for what Allah has given us instead of thinking and looking at what has been taken from us. When we celebrate in Islam(Eid), we pray and sacrifice. Allah is telling the Prophet to pray and sacrifice although this isn't the occasion of celebration. The Prophet SAWW's son just died. But Allah is telling him that what Allah has given him is much greater than what has been taken away. And his son is waiting for him in Jannah. Allah will take care of everything that's bothering and worrying us. So Allah says:Abu lahb is the MOST cut off.
We emulate everything the Prophet SAWW does. We follow his sunnah in every little thing. But we cannot emulate what Allah does, we don't have the ability. But there is one thing Allah does that we also do. Allah sends salutations on Prophet SAWW so we do too! The angels,humans and Allah himself sends salawaat on the Prophet SAWW. Whenever Allah sends salawaat, his status is raised. The more salawaat we send, the stronger the relation and love with Prophet SAWW.
Allah says:Wa rafana laka zikrak. We have elevated your zikr in this world. It is part of the Azan, it is part of salaat! Somebody is sending salawaat on Prophet SAWW in the world every second. So salawaat is being sent 24/7 and it only makes us richer. The Prophet SAWW hears every time.
Allah has given him Maqam e Mahmood. On the day of judgement, everybody will be standing but none will be able to speak. There will be no buzz but only pindrop silence. Only that person will speak whom Allah will permit. The Prophet SAWW will rise and will be the first to speak and seek intercession for the ummah.
Allah does not call Muhammad SAWW by his name in the Quran. He says Yaa ayyuhal mudassir, ya ayyuhal muzammil, yaa rasulAllah etc. But he does call other prophets by their names. That is the kind of respect Allah subhanawataala gives to the Prophet SAWW.
Muhammad SAWW is someone who is praised and someone who is thanked. Hamd is the same origin as Muhammad. He is praised and thanked continously and a lot. Quality and Quantity. Quality is the sincerity,emotion,enthusiasm, and spirit with which you send salawaat. Muhammad is mentioned 4 times in the Quran and Ahmad is mentioned once in the Quran.
Ahmad is different. It is the one who is praised and thanked more. AND the one who praises and thanks more.MORE than who? Any creation of Allah! This Ahmad was said by Jesus AS implying that the Prophet SAWW will be praised more and will praise more than him or any other creation.
The Prophet SAWW is the only prophet who can make intercession for us on the day of judgement. All other prophets would say that they cannot ask Allah for shifaat. And the prophet SAWW would ask Allah Ummati Ummati Ummati and ask Allah to forgive those who had just said the kalima even. He will ask for those who did not even deserve it. He will not give up on anyone. This is the best case scenario. The worst case scenario is when even the Prophet SAWW would say that these people left the Quran abandoned. So in the hadith, he makes a case FOR us and in this ayah of the Quran, he makes a case against us.
Why does Allah correct His messenger SAWW?
>Only Allah has the right to correct the messenger and no one else. The Prophet SAWW is divine and is as perfect as a human being can be but he cannot be as perfect as Allah SWT himself. The Messenger is humbled before Allah SWT.
>The messenger SAWW makes a decision to the best of his ability. But only Allah knows a better way to do it. Prophets do not sin. Whatever he did, he did to the best of his ability but Allah knows more.
>To tell the high status and standard the prophet SAWW has. Allah corrects him in things he will never ask us about. They are such tiny things.
At the time of Ghazwa Tabuk, everyone was supposed to be part of the muslim army. A person came with the excuse that he would not be able to help himself with women around him so he should be allowed to stay back. The prophet SAWW allowed him to stay back thinking that he is not going to be of much use anyway. He might even backstab him because he is not willing to go to war. But Allah's decision was different. Allah said:Allah has already forgiven you.Why did you give his permission? Before correcting, Allah already said I have forgiven you. Allah wanted that it be known to everyone that he is a hypocrite and he wouldn't have gone anyway.
Abdullah Ibne Maktoom was a blind sahabi. He once entered while Prophet SAWW was giving dawah to the governors of tribes. He knew there was a conversation going on. He interrupted the conversation and said I need to talk to you. The prophet SAWW was in the middle of the conversation and chose to continue his conversation. He frowned and turned his face away. Abdullah ibn maktoom could not even see it so it did not hurt his feelings.
He frowned and he turned away that a blind one came to him. How did you know?He is used for someone far away. You is for someone close to you. Allah did not talk TO the prophet SAWW in the first two ayahs. It is an expression of being upset of someone usually because we don't directly to someone we are not happy with. Then Allah immediately consoles him by changing tense to YOU.
Had the prophet SAWW even added a word of the Quran, then we would have grabbed him by his next and slit his jugular vein. At another place, Allah says that had Allah not made him SAWW firm, you might have swayed towards them. And had that happened, I would have given you twice the painful punishment and you will not find any helper. The point was to tell the Arabs that this is truly and actually the word of Allah. Nobody will say something like that about themselves in such harsh language. The wrongdoers rejected the miracles of Allah and called the prophets liars. The disbelievers kept asking for miracles other than the Quran. Allah taught the Prophet SAWW:If it is such a big deal to you that they keep walking away from God's word, then if you think you can do it yourself, if you can dig a hole in the earth or build a ladder into the sky and find yourself a miracle then do it. I won't give you a miracle when Quran is enough. IF Allah wanted, he would have given everybody guidance but he gave everyone a choice.
We can be sure about Quran, but how can we be sure about Hadith? Hadith is by a human and humans are fallible? How can we be sure that Hadith is protected?
>No doubt about it, you are committed to a great character.
>No, no no I swear to your Master. They do not believe at all until they make you the decisionmaker in anything that comes up/sprouts among them. Then after they make you the decisionmaker, they do not find any discomfort in the decision you made. Then they give themselves in complete submission.
Allah did not say make Quran the decisionmaker. Sprouting means new things/issues will come up.
Allah swears by Himself because it is so important to him.
