Part of the honor in which Allah holds His Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, is found in chapters 17 and 53 "The Night Journey", and "The Star". In these chapters the clarity of the Prophet's exalted, and incomparable rank together with his nearness to Allah are witnessed.In the under-mentioned verses, it is abundantly clear that the protection of Allahis with His Prophet, praise and peace be upon him.
Allah says, "Allah protects you from the people." 5:67. "And when the unbelievers plotted against you (Prophet Muhammad), they sought to either take you captive or have you killed,or expelled. They plotted – but Allah (in reply) also plotted." 8:30. And, "If you (believers) do not help him, Allah will help him as He helped him when he was driven out with one other (Abu Bakr)." 9:40.
When the unbelievers conspired and devised a plot to kill the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, Allah prevented him from being harmed by his enemies by causing a deep slumber to fall upon the unbelievers so that he might pass unseen through their midst.Then again, in an attempt to prevent the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and Abu Bakr, his honored companion's migration to Medina the Koraysh set out in hot pursuit from Mecca and searched the caves of its surrounding mountains. As the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, took rest in a cave on the steep slopes of Mount Thawr, Allah caused another protecting miracle to occur. A spider spun a huge web across the entrance of the cave and a pair of pigeons gathered some twigs from a nearby tree, then built a nest beneath the web on the ledge. As the Koraysh started to climb the mountain the female pigeon settled herself on the nest and laid her eggs, whilst her mate perched nearby.
As the shouts and tramping of footsteps grew nearer their footsteps could be heard on the ledge directly above the cave. Abu Bakr became alarmed at the thought of being discovered and whispered to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, "If they look under their feet they will see us!" In his gentle,reassuring manner, Prophet Muhammad, praise and peace be upon him,consoled him, saying, "What do you think of two people who have Allah withthem as their third?" When Abu Bakr heard these words peace descended upon him and his fear vanished.
Shortly after, one of the search party noticed the cave underneath the ledge on which he was standing and peered over to take a better look at it. When he saw the spider's web and the pigeon sitting on its nest he told the others that it would be a complete waste of time and effort to climb down to check the cave as he was sure it must be empty on account of the nest and the spider's web. Another peered over the ledge and agreed, saying the cob-web was so old that it must have been spun before the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, had even been born!Then again, when after they left the cave and journeyed on to Medina an were spotted by Suraka Malik's son, the protection of Allah encompassed them.These stories are all found in the quotations of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, that narrate the events of his migration to Medina.
The chapter "The River of Abundance" reads, "Indeed, We have given you (Prophet Muhammad) the abundance (Al Kawthar: river, its pool and springs).So pray to your Lord and sacrifice. Surely, he who hates you, he is the most severed."
In this short chapter Allah tells the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, what he has been given. Kawthar has been said to refer to his pool, also it has been said that it is a river in the Garden, profuse blessings, intercession and the multitude of miracles given to him, his Prophethood.
The statement "Surely, he who hates you, he is the most severed"
refers to his enemies and those who despise the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him. "Severed" bears the meaning of wretched, abased, abandoned, or one who has no good in him whatsoever. Allah tells his Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, in chapter 15:87.
"We have given you the seven duals and the Mighty Holy Reading."
There are several explanations to this verse. "The seven duals" have been explained as referring to the first lengthy chapters and that "the Mighty Holy Reading" is the first chapter,"The Opener – Al Fatiha". It has also been said that "the seven duals" is the Mother of the Koran meaning "The Opener" and that the "Mighty Holy Reading"
refers to the rest of the Koran. It has also been said that "the seven duals" refer to the commands and prohibitions, good news and warnings."The Mother of the Koran" has also been said to be the "seven duals" because it is read at least twice in each obligatory prayer. It has also been said that Allah reserved it for Prophet Muhammad, praise and peace be upon him, and did not give it to the other prophets, or that He called the Koran "the seven duals" because of the repetition of its stories. Finally, it has been said that "the seven duals" bears the meaning that Allah honored His Prophet with seven distinctions,honor, guidance, prophecy, mercy, intercession, friendship, veneration with tranquility.Allah tells His Prophet, praise and peace be upon him,
"And We sent down to you the Remembrance so that you can make clear to the people what has been sent down to them, in order that they reflect." 16:44.
And, "We did not send you (Prophet Muhammad) for all mankind except to bring them glad tidings and to warn." 34:28. And
"Say: 'O mankind, I am the Messenger of Allah to you all.'" 7:158
Allah says, "We have sent no Messenger except in the tongue of his own nation."
14:4. This verse specifies the messengers own specific nation. Reflect for a moment and discover yet another special favor granted to Prophet Muhammad,praise and peace be upon him, the initial sending was when the Archangel Gabriel delivered the message to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him,in the tongue of his nation of birth. Thereafter, the message spread over the frontiers where other languages are spoken. These nations checked the veracityof the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and many converted thenlearned the Arabic language, and this is the realization of the Prophet's saying "I was sent for all mankind."
Allah tells us, "The Prophet has a greater right on the believers than their own selves; his wives are their mothers." 33:6.
The words "has a greater right on the believers"
has been explained that there is an obligation upon all believers to obey his orders in the same way that a slave must obey the order of his master, being obedient to his order is far better than using one's own judgment that is subject to flaws. "His wives are their mothers" means believers must respect the wives of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, as they respect their own mothers and for this reason his wives were not permitted to marry anyone after his death – this is yet another indication of the honor in which Allah beholds him, and that his wives will be his wives in the Garden.
Allah says, "Allah has sent down to you the Book and the Wisdom…The Bounty of Allah to you is ever great" 4:113. "Is ever great"
refers to his Prophethood or that which was given to him in pre-eternity. Al Wasiti said that it is an indication to his ability to endure the vision which Prophet Moses could not endure.
Allah says, "Allah protects you from the people." 5:67. "And when the unbelievers plotted against you (Prophet Muhammad), they sought to either take you captive or have you killed,or expelled. They plotted – but Allah (in reply) also plotted." 8:30. And, "If you (believers) do not help him, Allah will help him as He helped him when he was driven out with one other (Abu Bakr)." 9:40.
