Muhammad s.a.w The Trustworthy One
was sent to all of mankind, as a mercy to the worlds:
"And We have not sent you (O Muhammad s.a.w.) except as a giver of glad tidings and warner to all mankind. "(Qur'an 34:28)
"It (this Qur'an is only a Reminder for all the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn).And you shall certainly know the truth of it after a while."(Qur'an 38:87-88)
"And We have sent you (O Muhammad s.a.w) not but as a mercy for the 'Alamin (mankind ,jinn and all that exists)" (Qur'an 21:107)
"Say (O Muhammad s.a.w.) "O mankind ! Verily, I am sent to you all as the Messenger of Allah."(Qur'an 7:158)
The Most Compassionate (Al-Ra'uf), the Most Merciful (Al-Rahim) is Allah, may He be exalted , as is mentioned dozens of time in the Qur'an ,
In surat At-Tawbah, Allah says: "Verily , there has come unto you a Messenger (Muhammad s.a.w.) from amongst yourselves. It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty. He (Muhammad s.a.w.) is anxious over you; for the believers (he s.a.w. is) full of pity, kind, and merciful." So Allah has given him two of His beautiful Names, namely Ra'uf (Compassionate) and Rahim (merciful).
The life of the Prophet s.a.w. is worthy such an honour, for it was a blessing for the Arab nation and for the entire world:
"Verily, by you (O Muhammad s.a.w.), in their wild intoxication, they were wandering blindly."(Qur'an 15:72) The way in which the beloved Prophet is addressed in the Book of Allah is :
Ya ayyuhan' Nabi (O Prophet),
Ya ayuyuhar-Rasul (O Messenger),
Ya ayyuhal-muzammil (O you wrapped in garments-cf .Al-Muzzammil 73:1),
Ya ayyuhal Muddathir (O you Muhammad) enveloped (in garments).Al-Mudathir 74:1).
He is addressed in the most liked terms, whereas the other Prophets are addressed by name only:
O Adam, O Musa, O Nuh, O Dawud, O Zakariyya,O Lot, O Yahya, O 'Isa....
The Miracles of the previous Prophets were temporary and came to an end immediately after they happened, so they belong in the past. But the miracle of Muhammad ibn'Abdullah s.a.w. is lasting and eternal , namely the Qur'an, in which new miraculous aspects will always be discovered. Its miracle is ongoing and Allah has guaranteed to preserve it:
"Verily , We, it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur'an)and surely ,
We will guard it (from corruption)."(Qur'an 15:9)
SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WA SALAM
Which means: May the Peace and Blessing of Allah be upon him .
