Maeda 67
67- O MESSENGER, DELIVER WHAT WAS SENT DOWN TO YOU FROM YOUR LORD, AND IF YOU DO NOT, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE DELIVERED HIS MESSAGE, AND ALLAH PROTECTS YOU FROM PEOPLE, AND ALLAH DOES NOT GUIDE THE DISBELIEVING PEOPLE.
This was a special message to Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him, and a reassurance. Allah the Highest is commanding his messenger prayer and peace upon him to deliver the message sent to him from his Lord, and Allah the Highest protects him while fulfilling this task. Fulfilling his task carried risks, which Allah the Highest vowed to protect him from, and indeed, he did, and Mohamed prayer and peace upon him died on his bed after a period of sickness.
“O MESSENGER, DELIVER WHAT WAS SENT DOWN TO YOU FROM YOUR LORD, AND IF YOU DO NOT, YOU WOULD NOT HAVE DELIVERED HIS MESSAGE”.
Allah the Highest is command is to deliver the message, every thing, nothing added and nothing taken out. Allah the Highest corrected His messenger prayer and peace upon him more than once in the Quran, and he revealed it; such as in:
“HE FROWNED AND TURNED AWAY, WHEN THE BLIND MAN CAME TO HIM ………………..” (S: 80 A: 1-16)
And also “O PROPHET, WHY DO YOU FORBID YOURSELF WHAT ALLAH HAS PERMITTED YOU, SEEKING TO PLEASE YOUR WIVES AND ALLAH IS MOST FORGIVING AND MOST COMPASSIONATE” (S:66 A:1)
If Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him was to hide some of the Quran, he would have hidden Allah’s correction of him.
But Allah’s correction of his messenger was done in the most honoured way. The message was written in the noblest book, its reading is worship, and carried to Mohamed prayer and peace upon by the Chief of the angels, Gabriel. This reflects the status of Mohamed prayer and peace upon him to Allah the Highest.
Neither did Mohamed prayer and peace upon him add any thing or say something he was not told to say, for Allah the Highest said: “IF HE SAYS ANY THING WE DID NOT SAY * WE WOULD HAVE TAKEN HIM WITH OUR RIGHT HAND * THEN CUT HIS AORTA * AND NON OF YOU COULD PROTECT HIM”. (S: 69 A: 44-47)
Allah the Highest did not promise his prophet prayer and peace upon him that he will have no difficulties, or that his mission was to be an easy one, but that he was to be protected from being killed or totally prevented from delivering the message. When Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him migrated to Medina, the Muslims used to volunteer being guards outside his door, yet when he received this Ayah, he sent the guards away.
Yet he had to struggle and fight and was injured and hurt, he was injured in the battle of Ohud. He had to think and plan, because Allah the Highest did not guarantee his an easy mission, but indeed Allah the Highest demanded him to work hard for it, yet protected his life.
There are many instances which showed Allah His protection of his messenger prayer and peace upon him in many instances, I will mention some:
- The Jews wanted to throw a stone on his head when he was in their market. Allah the Highest told him about it, and he went away.
- A Jewish woman gave Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him a poisoned sheep as a present. She put extra poison in the shoulder which he was known to like. The sheep told him of being poisoned, and he did not eat, while one of his companions who ate died.
- He was asleep under a tree in one of his travels, and he hanged his sword on a branch of the tree. A disbeliever took the sword and said: “O Mohamed, who will save you from me?” He said: “Allah will protect me from you, put the sword down” and he did.
When any of us is on a mission or doing a job for the sake of Allah the Highest, to please his Lord, remember that he is under Allah’s care. Allah the Highest did not give us the same promise He gave his messenger prayer and peace upon him, but if in Allah’s cause, one will be in Allah’s care until fulfills his mission.
