Tawba 128-129 (End of Sorah)
128- THERE HAS COME TO YOU, A MESSENGER, FROM AMONGST YOU, WHO GRIEVES FOR YOUR HARDSHIP, WHO CARES FOR YOU, AND IS KIND AND COMPASSIONATE TO THE BELIEVERS.
129- BUT IF THEY TURN AWAY SAY: “ALLAH IS SUFFICIENT FOR ME, THERE IS NO GOD OTHER THAN HIM, UPON WHOM I RELY, And HE IS THE GREATEST LORD OF THE GREATEST THRONE”.
These are the last Two Ayahs of Sorah Al-Tawba. Allah the Highest is telling us about His messenger, prayer and peace upon him, the last prophet and messenger sent to us:
- He is from amongst us, meaning one of us. Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, was one of the people he was sent to. He spoke their language, and felt the same way as them, whatever upset them upset him, and whatever pleased them pleased him.
Allah the Highest did not send angels to people, for the messengers had to give a human example to the people they are sent to. Allah the Highest would not ask people to do what the angels do. Allah the Highest said: “SAY: IF THERE WERE ANGELS WALKING PEACEFULLY ON EARTH, WE WOULD HAVE SENT THEM DOWN FROM HEAVEN AN ANGEL FOR A MESSENGER”. (S: 17 A: 95)
Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, was the only prophet from the line of Ismail, the son of Ibrahim, peace upon them, while all the other prophets after Ibrahim came from the line of Isaac (Is, Haq)
The line of descent of Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, all came through marriage, never through adultery.
- Grieves for our hardship. That is Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, was always seeking our ease and never our hardship. It was reported that: “Whenever Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, had to choose between two things, he would choose the easier one”. (B:Adab;80 & M:Fadael;77 & D:Adab;4 & Mal: Hosn El-Kholoq;2 & A:6;85)
He, prayer and peace upon him, also said: “Indeed, this religion is for ease”. (B: Eman; 29 & N: Eman; 28 & A: 5; 69)
We should not make the practice of our religion harder for ourselves, for this is not Islamic. It is not pious to go to pray in a far mosque, while there is one nearer, or to walk there when we can ride etc.
- Cares for us. Allah’s messenger, prayer and peace upon him, cared about delivering the message to us; about people being rightly guided, and going to Paradise. He said: “There is nothing left which brings you nearer to Paradise and further from the Hell-Fire that I did not tell you about”. (A:5;123,162)
- Kind and compassionate to the believers. Mohamed, prayer and peace upon him, forgave those who hurt him once they believed. He was also forgiving to the hypocrites. He did not take revenge on the people of Makah when his army occupied Makah, but let them all free. Even the person who assassinated his uncle Hamzah, and the woman who mutilated Hamzah’s body, he did not punish them once they became Muslims.
There are many more examples of Mohamed prayer and peace upon him compassion and kindness both to his companions and his enemies,
Allah the Highest however did not demand from His prophet pray and peace upon him to do more than deliver His message as it is sent and clarify it to mankind. Allah the Highest said: “AND OBEY ALLAH AND OBEY THE MESSENGER AND BE CAREFUL, BUT IF YOU TURN AWAY, OUR MESSENGER RESPONSIBILITY IS TO DELIVER THE MESSAGE CLEARLY”. (S: 5 A: 92)
And said: “THE MESSENGER’S DUTY IS ONLY TO DELIVER THE MESSAGE, AND ALLAH KNOWS WHAT YOU REVEAL AND WHAT YOU HIDE”. (S: 5 A: 99)
We should always remember that Allah the Highest is sufficient for an ally and supporter. Whoever has Allah the Highest for an ally and supported will never be defeated. We should have faith and be pious and ask Allah the Highest to be our ally and supporter always, for Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “Whoever says in the morning and night: “ALLAH IS SUFFICIENT FOR ME, THERE IS NO GOD OTHER THAN HIM, UPON WHOM I RELY, And HE IS THE GREATEST LORD OF THE GREATEST THRONE” seven times, Allah will take care of his worries and burdens”. (D:Adab)
