How the Prophet passed
God's message
As explained verse "So call (people) to that and go straight as you have been ordered ..." (Surat ash-Shura: 15) Mohammad (PBUH) was the last prophet sent to warn mankind. Like other prophets, his mission was to call men to follow the right path, to have faith in God, to live thinking about the afterlife and to spread virtue. The methods he employed, the way he explained things, the style which he used are still examples for all Muslims, and when a Muslim wants to invite people to turn to religion, he must speak and to act as the Prophet.
In this verse, the Qur'an tells us that the Prophet was given the mission to warn humanity
Say: "Behold my way, I call people [in religion] of God, I and whosoever follows me, Based on a clear evi ve. Glory to God! And I am not of the idolaters. "(Surah Yusuf: 108)
The Prophet did his utmost to warn and more men and deployed great efforts to reach the greatest number of people. One verse says:
Say: "What is greatest as witness?" Say: "Allah is witness between me and you, and this Qur'an was revealed to me that I warn you , by his way, you and all those it reaches. "Is you really bear witness that there are other gods with God? Say: "I does not otherwise." Say [also]: "There is only One God. And I disavow what you (Him) associate. "(Surat al-An` am: 19)
By delivering the message of the Quran, the Prophet completely abolished the polytheistic religions corrupt than had inherited from their ancestors, he also met fierce resistance. However, he faithfully executed the order of God and did not account for their hostility and animosity. God advises the Prophet in that in one verse:
Exposes so clearly what you have been commanded and turn away from the idolaters. We thee effectively defended vis-à-vis the scoffers. (Surat al-Hijr: 94-95)
Muslims of today must also explain the morality of the Qur'an to people, paying no attention to the opposition that they face. They should fear "the blame of any blamer" as the Prophet did. It is a sign of virtue and piety to be rewarded in paradise. The Prophet enjoined the believers to implement this Sunnah by saying, "Convey my teaching not even a sentence. "35
The Prophet explained to the men
that God's power is infinite
order that men understand the extent of the power of God and to Him adopt attitude befitting the Prophet he used to tell them about the greatness of God and evidence that are the glories of creation. He thus became the means by which they learned to love God and fear Him. This verse informs us about how the Prophet was speaking:
Say: "What would you say? If Allah permanent night until the Day of Resurrection what god but God could bring you light? Hear ye not? "Say:" What would you say? If Allah made it permanent day until the Day of Resurrection, what god other than Allah to bring you a night in which ye can rest? Will ye not then understand? "(Surat al-Qasas: 71-72)
The Prophet Muhammad also described the evidence of God's creation to those who do not believe in the afterlife and explained to them that God who had the power to create, also had the power to start this work in the afterlife. Read the verse in question:
Say: "Travel about the earth and see how He began the creation. Then how God created the ultimate generation. For God is Omnipotent. "(Surah al-'Ankabut: 20)
Examples of verses where the Prophet is asked to explain to people how much God is above all that they can Him associate, and He knows no lack or need:
Say: "Shall I take an ally other than God, the Creator of heaven and earth? It is He Who feeds and is not fed. Say: "I was commanded to be the first to submit myself." And never be the number disassociation. Say: "I fear if I disobey my Lord, the retribution of an awful day." (Surat al-An `am: 14-15)
In the Quran, God tells the Prophet also how to explain to people that there is no god but God and our Lord is the Lord of the Universe:
Say: "Who is Lord of heaven and earth?" Say: "God." Say "And will you take besides Him guardians who do not hold for themselves either good or evil?" Say: "Are they equal, the blind and the seeing? Or are they equal, darkness and light? Or do they give to God partners who have created creation like His point that created became confused to them? "Say:" God is the Creator of all things, and He is the One, the Irresistible. "(Surat ar-Ra'd: 16)
The Prophet taught his community, who knew that God existed but did not know His infinite power and did not understand the full scope of His existence, to recognize His power. Then he taught him to beware of sins. Here are the verses in question:
Say: "Who owns the land and those who are, if you know?" They will say: "To God." Say: "Do you not remember?" Say: "Who is the Lord of seven heavens and Lord of the Mighty Throne? "They will say: [they belong]" To God. "Say:" Do you not afraid? "Say:" Who holds in His hand is the dominion over everything, and protects and does not need to be protected? [Say] if you know! "They will say:" God. "Say:" So how is it that you are bewitched? " [The point of not believing in Him]. (Surat al-Muminun: 84-89)
only true path is that of God
Some people choose to follow paths staked hazardous errors, superstitions , ideas and methods harmful. These channels can only lead to their loss in this world and another. The prophet has always tried to invite people to the way the finest and most noble, the way of God, to enable them to salvation in this world and another.
Say: "Call us, instead of God, which can only benefit us or harm us? And return us on our heels after God has guided us, as someone that devils have seduced and confused wandering on earth, although friends call to the right path (saying): "Come to us. Say: "The true path is the path of God. And we have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the universe. "(Surat al-An` am: 71)
The Prophet also said in a hadith that the path is that of God and His Prophet :
The best word is the word of God, and the best tour is the Mohammad.36
Prophet
put men on guard against idolatry
A major errors against which the Prophet warned his people is the fact of giving associated with God (shirk). As can be seen in the verses of the Quran, the Prophet always reminded people that God is the only god that no one has power except Him, and he warned against idolatry. It was part of its mission, as shown in these verses:
Say: "This is my way, I call people [in religion] of God, me and those who follow me Based on clear evidence. Glory to God! And I am not of the idolaters. "(Surah Yusuf: 108)
Say:" I invoke my Lord and Him only person associates. "Say:" I do not have any way to harm you, or put you on the right path. "Say:" Truly, no one can protect me against God, and I never find any refuge besides Him. "(Surah al-Jinn: 20-22)
Say: "I am commanded to worship God in Him sincere devotion, and he was ordained to be the first of Muslims. "Say:" I fear if I disobey my Lord, the retribution of an awful day. "Say:" I love God, and He devoted solely my worship. Worship, besides Him, that you want! "Say:" The losers are those who, on the Day of Resurrection shall have lost their own souls and those of their families. "Is that the loss obvious. (Surat az-Zumar: 11-15)
Is not He Who originates creation, then repeats it, and you sustenance from heaven and earth. Is there a god with God? Say: Bring your proof if you are true "(Surat an-Naml: 64)
The Prophet, who reminded his people that God was the only god, also told them that nothing they could associate with God had the power to create whatever it was, to harm them or provide them an advantage. Here are the verses that talk about:
Say: "Call on those whom you assert (to be gods) besides Him. They have no way relieve your distress, or to change anything. (Surat al-Isra ': 56)
Say: "What do you think of those whom you invoke besides Allah? Show me what they have created the earth! Or do they have an interest in heaven with God? Bring me a book prior to it (the Koran) or even a vestige of a science, if you are truthful. "(Surah al-Ahqaf: 4)
Say:" Call on those outside God you claim to be [deities]. They do not even have the weight of an atom, either in heaven or on earth. They have never been involved in their creation and there is no one among them to support him. "(Surah Saba ': 22)
Say:" Have you considered your associates that you call upon besides God? Show me what they have created on earth. Or have they been involved in the creation of the heavens? "Or have We given them a Book which contains evidence of the truth of what they do? No indeed! But only every illusion that the unrighteous will make promises to each other. "(Surah Fatir: 40)
Most people believe in God but are unable to appreciate His power and greatness, they fail to understand that He is the only friend and protector, and erroneously believe that entities other than God can give them help. The Prophet explained these truths to his people and tried to release him and idolatry. It is a duty assigned to him, as we see in these verses:
If you ask them: "Who created the heavens and the earth", they would most certainly say: "God." Say: "See you those whom you invoke besides Allah, if God wanted me wrong, is what [the deities] might remove His harm? Or if He wanted me mercy, could they withhold His mercy? "Say:" Allah is enough for me: it's Him that put their trust those who seek support. "(Sura az-Zumar: 38)
Say: "What is the one who can protect you from God, if you want to harm or if He will grant you mercy?" And they will find for themselves outside God, any protector or helper. (Surat al-Ahzab: 17)
God created man, He is the only friend and protector. But those who fear Him not deny this truth. Only in cases of distress, when an untoward event shows them clearly how they are powerless, they understand that only God can help them. The Prophet also reminded that to his people. He said that in times of trouble people have no protector other than God. The Prophet in the Koran is encouraged to make such reminders:
Say: "Tell me, if the punishment of God comes to you, or you're just in time, will you appeal to other than God, if you are truthful? "It is rather for Him you will call. Then it dissipated, if He wills, the purpose of your call and you will forget what you [him] associiez. (Surat al-An `am: 40-41)
Believers who remember this truth emphasized by the Prophet know, without having to undergo such difficulties, that only God can help them and that He alone has the power to free them from their worries. In the Quran, God says:
Say: "Who rescues you from the darkness of the land and sea?" You invoke it humbly and in secret: If He delivers us from this, we are the number of grateful. "Say:" Allah rescues you and any anxiety. Yet you associate others with Him. "(Surat al-An` am: 63-64)
The Prophet warned Muslims of the dangers of idolatry in the hadiths:
The greatest sin is associating partners with Allah (shirk), while it is He Who has créés.37
Elsewhere, the Prophet said that the failure to associate anything with God is both the evidence and the necessary condition to faith:
Anyone encounter God without him having anything associated, will join paradis.38
He also emphasized the great danger that lurks behind the idolatry
Should I not inform you of what I fear for you more than the Dajjal? This is the hidden idolatry, where a person stands for prayer and beautifies the eyes because of gens.39
Idolatry in my Ummah is more subtle and insidious that a column of ants climbing a rock in the dark ... 40
The Prophet revealed that only Allah knows the unseen
ghaib The word in the Quran refers to hidden things that man can not see or know. What will happen in the future is unknown for example. But everything that relates to the future, the future of each individual country, real or personal property is known only to God. Here is how the Prophet had to explain to his people that knowledge of the unseen (ilm-ul-ghaib) is the prerogative of God
Say: "God knows best how long they stayed. To Him belongs the unseen of the heavens and the earth. As He is All-Hearing and Seeing! They have no protector other than Him and He will not associate anyone with His command. "(Surat al-Kahf: 26)
Say:" None of those in the heavens and the earth knows the Unseen except God. "And they do not know when they will be resurrected! (Surat an-Naml: 65)
Say: "Verily, my Lord hurls forth the truth, [to His messengers]. He is Knower of all unseen. "(Surah Saba ': 48)
In the Quran, God told the Prophet:
Say: "I do not hold myself to no profit or damage, except what God wants. And if I know the unknowable, I had an abundance of wealth and no evil should have touched me. I'm for people who believe a warner and a herald. "(Surah al-Araf: 188)
The Prophet reminded people that God intends
their most secret conversations
Some people think that when planning to commit mischief, to conspire with their accomplices or spread rumors, they can hide from others. In fact, God knows every man's thoughts, ideas running through his mind. He knows that two people whispering in his ear and everything that happens in the earth and the heavens. It is the permanent witness of our acts. Every man will be accountable in the afterlife for all those things he thought he had done or said in secret, without anyone knowing. We may forget the words wrong but God will remind us and expose us to the Day of Judgement.
The Prophet also drew people's attention on this reality and warned that they should accountable for their actions one day. Examples of verses about this:
Say: "Whether you conceal what is in your breasts or make it known, God knows. He knows everything that is in heaven and on earth. And God is Omnipotent. "(Surah Al 'Imran: 29)
Say:" Allah is sufficient as witness between you and me. "He is with His servants, Aware, Seeing." (Surah al-Isra': 96)
If they turn back, then say: "I have warned you in all fairness, I do not know if what you are promised is near or far. He knows what you say high voice and what ye hide. "(Surat al-Anbiya ': 109-110)
Say:" Are you going to learn your religion to God, then God knows everything that is in heaven and on the earth? "And God is Omniscient." (Surah al-Hujurat: 16)
The Prophet said that the Koran was
the revealed word of God
the Prophet's lifetime and after his death , people have denied the divine origin of the Koran. Some went so far as to claim that it was the Prophet himself had written. Now it is evident that the Koran is not a human work. The Koran is the word of God, it abounds in miracles and manifest a higher wisdom that is beyond the reach of a single human being. The Prophet reminded that truth to his people and explained to him that the Qur'an was revealed by God, as indicated by these verses:
Say: "He has revealed it Who knows the secrets in the heavens and the earth. And He is Forgiving and Merciful. "(Surat al-Furqan: 6)
Say:" You see? If this (the Qur'an) from Allah and then you disown, which is in greater error that he who is in the division? "(Surah Fussilat: 52)
Those who claimed that the Koran was the work of a human being unaware of the miracles and that he concealed his wisdom came from God. In truth the Koran is a book such as men and jinn by meeting would have written, let alone a single man. In the Koran, God orders the Prophet to keep his critics the following speech:
Say: "Even if men and jinn banded together to produce something similar to this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed each other. "(Surah al-Isra ': 88)
Or they say:" He (Muhammad) has forged it? "Say:" Call then a chapter like unto it, and call for your help anyone you can besides Allah if ye are truthful. "(Surah Yunus: 38)
In another hadith the Prophet says that the Koran is the word of God
Honesty descended from the Heavens and settled in the bottom of the hearts of men (faithful believers), and then the Quran was revealed and people lurent the Koran (the learned) and also learned the sunna. The Koran as the sunna have strengthened their honesty (that of sincere believers) .41
Prophet explained that the Koran was revealed as guidance and good news for Muslims
The Prophet told people that the Koran leads people to the right Road and advised them to take their guide. See the related verses:
Say: "The Holy Spirit [Gabriel] who was sent down from thy Lord in Truth, in order to strengthen [the faith] of those who believe, as a Guide and Glad Tidings to Muslims. (Surat an-Nahl: 102)
Say: "If I digress, I err only my expense, whereas if I guide, so thanks to my Lord m has revealed, for He is All-Hearing and Near. "(Surah Saba ': 50)
Hence the Prophet attached great importance to the teaching of the Koran:
Acquire knowledge and pass it to people. Learning the Quran and teach it to people, because I am committed to leaving this monde.42
Prophet revealed that the Day of Reckoning
nobody will the sins of others
An erroneous beliefs that prevail in societies ignorant that a person can take care of the sins of others. For example, a person may dissuade his friend to perform a religious obligation, saying: "I will take the weight of this sin." Obviously, this person is committing a sin by opposing the fulfillment of religious duty, but the friend in question makes himself guilty of a sin by not fulfilling his duty. In other words, nobody can take away the sins of another to its place. On the Day of Judgement everyone will answer for his own actions. Nobody will be asked about the sins of others. God told the Prophet Muhammad to explain this as follows:
Say: I seek a Lord other than God, then He is Lord of all things? Everyone acquires [evil] and to its detriment: no one will bear the burden (liability) of others. Then to your Lord is your return and He will inform you of that wherein ye dispute. "(Surat al-An` am: 164)
The Prophet's sayings, including this: "No soul shall bear the burden of others, "43 help dispel the popular superstition.
The Prophet advised his people to draw lessons from
the ruin of their predecessors
Throughout history, societies that have opposed God and His Messenger and His Religion were destroyed by violent cataclysms that have left no trace of their passage on earth. The disappearance of these cities should be a lesson for everyone and encourage people to turn to God and to fear His wrath.
Say: "Roam the earth and see what happened to criminals. "(Surat an-Naml: 69)
Say:" Roam the earth and look what happened to those who rejected truth lies. "(Surat al-An` am: 11)
Say "Roam the earth and look what happened to those who have lived before. Most of them were idolaters. "(Surat ar-Rum: 42)
In light of these verses, the Prophet said:" Rejoice and hope that you forward! By God I do not fear poverty for you, but I'm afraid you were leading a life of ease, as did the past nations in you compete with each other, as did your predecessors, and it destroys you as it destroyed them. "44 He warned his people and plagues that had fallen on others because of their leave Casual.
The Prophet reminded people
the terrible death of the expiry
The prospect of death is one of the greatest fears of those who doubt the existence of the afterlife or there not believe. Because they believe that death marks the end of everything, they desperately cling to this world. Yet every man dies at the time decreed by God, and there is no way to escape. The Prophet also said aix people it is useless to flee the death and urged them to think about real life, one that starts later.
Say: "Running away will not profit you if the death (without fighting) or killing (in battle) which you flee, in which case, you will not enjoy (life) that bit (of time). "(Surat al-Ahzab: 16)
Say:" The appointment is for one day that you will not delay an hour or advance "(Surah Saba ': 30)
The Prophet urged believers to think about death, saying
Those who are aware of the due date of death and prepare, that's the wisest tous.45
He revealed that only God had
knowledge of the Hour
One of the major concerns of man is to know when will happen on Judgement Day. But God has revealed that he alone holds the knowledge and told the Prophet how to respond if he were asked the question:
People ask you about the Hour. Say: "His knowledge belongs exclusively to God. "What do you know? It may be that the Hour is near. (Surat al-Ahzab: 63)
If they turn back, then say: "I have warned you in all fairness, I do not know if what you are promised is near or far." (Surat al-Anbiya ': 109 )
We found that some people
remain in hell for eternity
A very common superstition in society is ignorant to believe that the damned will remain in a given period in Hell then emerge . But God made us know that some people will remain for eternity. According to the divine order, the Prophet's belief refuted those who claimed that no one would remain forever in Hell:
And they said: "The Fire shall not touch us for a few days numbered!" Say: Have you made a covenant with God - because God never breaks His promise - no, but you say about God that you do not know. "Quite the contrary! Those who do evil and are girt round by their sins, those are the people of the Fire they will abide. And those who believe and do good works, those are the people of Paradise to dwell forever. (Surat al-Baqara: 80-82)
The Prophet said about life in Heaven and Hell:
When the people of Paradise will enter Paradise and the people of Hell will go to hell, we will convene death and placed halfway between heaven and hell and then kill it. We will then announce: "O people of Paradise, it does have more death, O people of Hell, there is more death," and this announcement will enhance the joy of the people of Paradise and the desperation of people Hell .46
He invited us to remind ourselves God
calling upon him by His most beautiful names
As we saw earlier, the Prophet invoked God by His most beautiful names when he communicated the message, explaining religion or praying. He was instructed to invite people to do the same:
Say: "Call on God, or invoke the Most Gracious. Whatever the name by which you call upon, the most beautiful names. And in your salat, do not recite out loud, and does not lower his voice too, but seeks a balance between the two. "And say:" Praise be to God who has never given a child, Who has no partner in His kingship and never had any protection against humiliation. "And proclaim His greatness. (Surat al-Isra ': 110-111)
He told people not to
distinction between the prophets
always obedient to God's command, the Prophet taught us that we should not distinguish between the prophets of God. He says in a hadith: "To grant primacy to any of the prophets of God." 47 All the prophets enjoyed the affection and confidence of God and were pious people who have been heaven for retribution. All prophets taught the religion of God and like the Prophet called on people to follow the right path. This is a crucial aspect of the prophetic mission as indicated by the following verses:
Say: "We believe in God, in what was sent down to us, in what was sent down on Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and the tribes, and what was given to Moses, Jesus and the Prophets from their Lord: We make no distinction between them, and it to Him we are Muslims. "(Surah Al 'Imran: 84)
Say:" We believe in God and what we found, and what was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and what was given to Moses and Jesus, and what was given to the prophets from their Lord: We make no distinction between them. And to Him we are Muslims. "(Surat al-Baqara: 136)
The Prophet exhorted the people to have good moral
We have often repeated, The Prophet had a moral unusual was a model for all mankind and exhorted people to follow his example, they describe the type of behavior that God liked best. Seen in the following verses:
Say: "Come, I will recite what your Lord has forbidden you: do not associate anything with Him, and be good to your father and mother. Do not kill your children because of poverty. We feed you like them. Stay away from wickedness openly or secretly. Do not kill in all fairness the life God has made sacred. That's what [God] has recommended that you do; Maybe you understand. And approach not the property of orphans as the best way, until he reached his majority. And give full measure and full weight in justice. We do a soul according to its capacity. And when you speak, speak justly even if a close relative. And fill your commitment to God. That is what He directs you. Maybe you remember. "(Surat al-An` am: 151-152)
Say: My Lord has forbidden shameful deeds (the great sins), whether open or secret, as sin, aggression and the fact no right to associate with God for which He has sent down no authority, and saying things about God that you do not know. "(Surah al-Araf : 33)
following hadith where the Prophet urges its followers to adopt such a morality:
My Lord has ordered me nine things: to honor Him, inwardly and outwardly, to tell the truth and speak properly in poverty as in the ease of being moderate, in wealth and poverty, to be kind to my family and my relatives, even they are not with me, to be generous to that is not with me, that offends me to forgive, to increase my knowledge about Him in the silence and speak for the mention , to finally be an example for His créatures.48
Do not envy one another, do not hate each other, do not turn away from each other, do not belittle each other, but be brothers O servants of Dieu.49
Fear God wherever you are, follow a bad deed with a good that will clear, and be kind to gens.50
Nothing weighs heavier on balance the good caractère.51
The Prophet did his companions following recommendations: The
misconduct destroys the divine worship, such as spices alter the miel.52
Honor a believer for his religion. Always consider higher for good conduct and sagesse.53
The Prophet put people on guard against arrogance
The Prophet said that pride and arrogance were the signs of a bad character and the arrogant find themselves in hell. So he put people on guard against this danger. By his humility, his modesty, his affection and kindness at all times, the Prophet was the best possible models. Examples of warnings that the Prophet denounces the evils of arrogance:
Verily, God is forgiving and loves mercy. Pride is disdaining the truth and contempt for the adequacy gens.54
Arrogance is to ridicule and reject the truth and despise gens.55
The Prophet has warned those who boasted of their lineage and their fathers to become arrogant, with these words:
God, the Almighty has freed you the pre-Islamic era of pride and vanity that people drew from their ancestors. Either you'll be pious believers, or you'll be miserable sinners. You are the son of Adam and Adam was born from the dust. Let the people cease to boast of their ancestors. These are the fuel of hell, or at least they will certainly have less value in the eyes of God than the weasel in the cockroach fumier.56
The Prophet advised his followers to dress well and have a pleasant appearance and neat. At the same time he reminded them that those who were proud because of the clothes they wore or appearance would experience humiliation and degradation in this world and another. He advised them to always be humble, as evidenced by this story:
God made the earth suddenly engulfed by a man who walked carefully combed and dressed in fine clothes, proud of himself, and he will continue to sink and until the Day of Résurrection.57
statements of the Prophet concerning the use that is made of its property in the path of God
They relate to how best to dispose of his property when we want to please God. The people around him often questioned the Prophet about it and his explanations were still increasing their interest and eagerness to give. The Qur'an mentions this fact in hand places:
They ask: "What we have to spend?" Say: Whatever ye spend that is good, is for parents, relatives, orphans, the poor and the wayfarers. And whatever good you do, God really knows. "(Surat al-Baqara: 215)
... And they ask you:" What should we spend (in charity)? "Say: Excess your property. "Thus, God shows you His Signs so that you meditate. (Surat al-Baqara: 219)
Say: "Verily my Lord enlarges and restricts it to whomsoever He pleases of His servants. And any expenditure you make [the property], he replaces it, and He is the best donor. "(Surah Saba ': 39)
Some of the remarks by which the Prophet encouraged Muslims to guard against greed and be willing to give up their property:
Beware of committing oppression, for oppression is darkness on the Day of Resurrection, and beware of being petty meanness lost because those who preceded you, she urged them to shed blood and make lawful what had illicite.58
Do not turn away a poor ... even if you can give him that a half a date. If you love the poor and closer to you, God will bring you near Him on the Day of Résurrection.59
Mohammad was also the Prophet of the jinn
In the 72nd sura of the Qur'an, Sura al -Jinn, Allah reveals that the jinn also attended the sermons of the Prophet Mohammad and listened to the Koran, and that some had followed and became Muslims. We read in verse
Say: "It has been revealed that a group of jinn listened, then said: 'We have heard a reading [the Koran] wonderful, who guides to righteousness . We believed, and we associate anyone with our Lord '. "(Surah al-Jinn: 1-2)
In the same Surah, Allah also reveals that some jinn are actually Muslims
And when we heard the guidance [the Qur'an], we believed, and anyone who believes in his Lord has no fear, either or of any injustice. There are among us Muslims, and there is the unjust [to have deviated]. And those who converted to Islam are those who sought righteousness. (Surat al-Jinn: 13-14)
These jinn say that some of them were against God by forging lies and spreading superstition. That superstitious religion that the jinn had joined is also mentioned in this Surah:
Verily our Lord - that His exalted be - has taken neither a wife nor a son! Our sense [Iblis] said extravagances against God. And we believed that neither human nor jinn could never utter a lie against God. (Surat al-Jinn: 3-5)
But another verse relates that when the Prophet stood up to perform his religious obligations, the jinn would gather around him
And when the servant of God has put stands calling, they almost swarm all over him. (Surat al-Jinn: 19)
As these verses, the Prophet Muhammad was sent to all mankind and all jinn. Likewise the Qur'an is a guide for both men and jinn.
warnings of the Prophet his opponents
Those who opposed the Quran and the Prophet took a perverse pleasure to obstruct his path, trying to prevent the message, or even to kill, arrest or the exile. But in all circumstances, the Prophet told them about the existence and power of God, they explained that it was an authentic message, and that the Qur'an was revealed in our Lord. He also warned of punishments of the afterlife. Even when the Prophet overcame them, he does not oppress its opponents and not forced anyone to convert, instead, he let everyone complete freedom of belief.
Examples of verses on this subject:
And if they belie you, say: "To me my work, and you yours. You are not responsible for what I do and I am not responsible for what you do. "(SourateYunus: 41)
Say:" That's what I found: Your God is one God; are you applied? "[decided to embrace Islam] If they turn back, then say:" I have warned you in all fairness, I do not know if what you are promised is near or far. He knows what you say aloud and what you hide. And I do not know, this is perhaps a temptation for you and an enjoyment for a while! "He said:" Lord, judge with justice! And our Lord Most Gracious is He Whose help is sought against your assertions. "(Surat al-Anbiya ': 108-112)
Say:" O my people! Continue to act according to your method, I too will act according to mine. Then you'll know who will have a better (out) in the Hereafter. "Verily, the unjust will never succeed. (Surat al-An `am: 135)
He did not engage in futile argument with
disbelievers
The Prophet was always very patient and understanding with those who denied the existence of God, the authenticity of the Koran, and its mission prophetic. He also told them he would always be fair to them and would not enter into discussions with them sterile. What he said, according to the commandments of God, is thus narrated in the Qur'an:
So call (people) to it and go straight as you have been ordered, do not follow their passions and tell : "I believe in all that God has sent down the Book, and he was ordered to be just you. God is our Lord and your Lord. To us our deeds and to you your works. No argument [can not decide] between us and you. God will bring us together. And to Him is the destination. "(Surat ash-Shura: 15)
He called the unbelievers to repent
God has mercy and infinite compassion. In the Qur'an, He reveals that He will accept the repentance of all His servants and He will forgive the man his sins if he decides to waive it. The Prophet communicated the news to unbelievers:
Tell those who disbelieve that if they stop, they will forgive what happened. And if they return (they will be punished), the example of (their) predecessors. (Surat al-Anfal: 38)
In his hadiths, the Prophet told people they could repent at any time:
Whoever repents (with his Lord) before the sun does not rise to the west (before the last day), God turns to him with miséricorde.60
He warned unbelievers from their defeat inevitable
submission and devotion of the Prophet reflected in all his actions and his words. Even in difficult times, the Prophet was certain that God would help him, believers and unbelievers would be victorious disappointed.
Tell those who disbelieve: "You will be defeated soon, and you will be gathered unto hell. And what a bad place to rest "(Surah Al 'Imran: 12)
The Prophet said in one of his hadiths:
What you are promised will come a day, and you can not y échapper.61
He warned the disbelievers
their fate by reminding them of the existence of the afterlife
A major feature of those who deny God's authority is that they do not believe in the afterlife. At the time of the Prophet as they doubted that men may one day be resurrected in the Hereafter. The Prophet refuting their words of the wisest and most concise. That's what it was prescribed by the Koran:
And they say: "When we are bones and dust, will we be resurrected into a new creation? "Say:" Be iron or stone or any other creature you can imagine. "They will say:" Who will we return? "Say:" He who created you the first time. "They shake their heads at you and say, "When?" Say: "Perhaps this is close." (Surah al-Isra ': 49-51)
"When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected? Ainsi que nos premiers ancêtres?” Dis: “Oui! And you will be humbly submitted. "(Surah as-Saffat: 16-18)
Hoping to see them back on the right path and to embrace the true faith, the Prophet told them that the afterlife was not so far away:
Paradise is closer to each of you than the strap of his shoe, and he is so hell
.62
He put the unbelievers
cautioned against the tortures of hell
A key Duties of the messengers of God is to warn people and inspire them with fear of hell and divine punishment. The prophets were instruments by which men learned to fear God and take a moral good, and some earned access to heaven. The Prophet also put people on guard against the torments of hell and tried to turn them from sin, unbelief and atheism. The following verses refer to the warnings that the Prophet addressed them about hell
And when they recite Our Clear Signs, thou wilt notice a denial on the faces of those who disbelieve. At it they assault those who recite Our Verses. Say: "Shall I inform you of something worse than that? The fire that God has promised those who disbelieve. What an evil destination! "(Surat al-Hajj: 72)
[I can only convey] a communication and messages [from] God. And whosoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger is the Fire of Hell to abide therein. (Surat al-Jinn: 23 )
The Prophet described the torments of hell in detail for those who believed these events very distant from them, and as indicated in the Qur'an, they spoke of Many people who would be damned and how men implore God to preserve, hoping to inspire them the desire to escape by righteous conduct.
He spoke firmly to the disbelievers, saying he did not join them
Although the disbelievers at that time were more numerous and more powerful at that time the Prophet was not to be intimidated by their hostility and threat. With determination they freed the message of the Quran and made them clearly understand that it does not detract from the right path. The determination and patience are traits of believers, and every believer should follow the example of determination and strong will of the Prophet. Quote a few verses about this:
Say: "I am forbidden to worship those whom you pray besides God." Say: "I will not follow your passions because it would lead me astray, and I would among the most well guided. "Say:" I rely on a clear proof from my Lord, but ye lie. This (punishment) that you want to hasten does not depend on me. Judgement belongs to God: He declares the truth and He is the Best of judges. "(Surat al-An` am: 56-57)
Say: O ye that reject Faith! I adore not what you worship. And do you worship what I worship. I do not worship what you worship. And do you worship what I worship. To you your religion and unto me my religion. "(Surah al-Kafirun: 1-6)
Reminders of the prophet to the People of the Book
The Prophet addressed the People of the Book the best way, and they passed not a form of polytheistic religion and corrupt but the ultimate revelation of God. As for the disbelievers that the Prophet did not exercise any pressure on the People of the Book, but they lavished expert advice.
People of the Book, and Jews in particular, have the particularity that they consider themselves the best servants of God and claim that none other than them enter Paradise. Several verses in the Koran refer such allegations. The Qur'an transcribed the response given by the Prophet to these unfounded statements:
And when we tell them: "Believe in what God hath revealed, they say:" We believe in what was sent down to us. "And they reject the rest, then it is the truth confirming what was already with them. - Say: "Why have you slain the prophets of God, if you are believers?" (Surat al-Baqara: 91)
Say: "If the abode with God is for you alone excluding other people, then long for death [immediate] if you are truthful! "But they do not want, knowing all the evil they have perpetrated their hands. And God knows the unjust. (Surat al-Baqara: 94-95)
And they said: "No one else will enter heaven as the Jews or Christians." That their dreams. - Say: "Produce your proof if ye are truthful." (Surat al-Baqara: 111)
Jews and Christians say: "We are the son of God and His loved ones." Say: "Why So punish you there for your sins? "Actually, you are mortals from among those He has created. He forgives whom He wills and He punishes whom He wills. And to God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and what lies between. And unto Him is the final destination. (Surat al-Ma'ida: 18)
They
said: "Be Jews or Christians, you'll be on track." - Say: "No, but follow the religion of Abraham, the epitome of righteousness and who was not among the idolaters." (Sura al-Baqara: 135)
The Prophet commanded as believers to say that "faith is believing in God, His angels, His Books, His Messengers ..." 63 when they had to go to the People of the Book.
The Prophet did not polemics with the People of the Book
and does not compelled to believe
The Prophet invited the people of the Book at embrace the true faith without falling into idolatry, and to live by the precepts of the Koran. But he treated those who refused to obey him with great kindness and goodness. He let the people of the book free to worship as they wished, they could continue to observe their customs and ordered his people to treat them fairly. It is reported that the Prophet said: Whoever kills a person
who enjoy the protection of Muslims will not smell the smell of paradis.64
The texts of treaties concluded by the Prophet and his successors with Christians, Jews and other communities nuns were preserved until today and are extremely important documents. In the text of the agreement he had prepared for the Christian Ibn Harris and his co-religionists for example, the Prophet had written at the beginning: "The religion, churches, the lives and property of all Christians living in the East are under the protection of God and His Messenger. Nobody will be forced to embrace Islam. If a Christian is killed or suffers injury, Muslims must help him "65 and then read this verse from Quran: " And argue not that the best way with the People's Book ... "(Surat al-'Ankabut: 46)
God to the Prophet showed how his people should treat the People of the Book:
Say: Talk with us about God when He is our Lord and your Lord? To us our deeds and to you yours! To Him we are dedicated. "(Surat al-Baqara: 139)
He called the People of the Book
to worship God without associating anything with Him
When he invited people to join the Book true religion, the Prophet told them to not associate any partners in worship of God and agree with Muslims on a dogma common
Say: O People of the Book, come to common terms between us and you: That we worship none but God, without associating anything with Him, and that point we do take each other as lords besides God. "If they turn away, say:" Bear witness that we are, we are subject. "(Surah Al 'Imran: 64)
Say: O People of the Book, do not exaggerate in your religion in opposing the truth. Do not follow the desires of people who went astray before that, who misled many people who have astray from the straight path. "(Surah al-Ma'ida: 77)
Muadh The Prophet sent to Yemen, and ordered him to invite the People of the Book to worship God alone:
You realize with a people of the Book. First, invite them to worship God alone ... 66
