The Prophet Muhammad A simple Guide to his Life
The Prophet in the Qur’an
~ 53 ~
“There has now come to you an apostle of your
own, one who grieves at your sinfulness and cares
for you; one who is compassionate and merciful to
true believers.” Then, addressing the Prophet, it
says: If they give no heed, say: “God is all
sufficient for me. There is no god but Him. In Him
I have put my trust. He is the Lord of the Glorious
Throne.
“, (9: 128-129)
In these verses, the Prophet emerges in his struggle
for Islam as one having full confidence in God the
Almighty. The key to all treasure lies with Him. The
Prophet stands on the firm ground of this same
faith and conviction. It is therefore but natural that
his entire faith should rest on one God alone and
that he should devote himself to the service of
Truth, free from all fears or the pressures of
expediency.
We are told in this verse that the messenger of God
was extremely kind and compassionate towards
people. He was so pained to see others in trouble
that it was as though he himself were in distress. He
was extremely keen to bring guidance to people.
