Lesson
Minhum –
(from among them), the Prophets Abraham and Ishmael (peace be upon Them) are
praying collectively, “O our Lord! Produce a Submissive group/class out of the
race from both of us and raise up also a Messenger from among them. It is
evident clearly that it signifies towards the race out of the Prophet Ishmael
(peace be upon Him). God Almighty accepted their supplication and the Last
Messenger of God Almighty, Muhammad (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon
Him) was born from the Children of Prophet Ishmael (peace be upon Him).
Yatluu ‘alayhim ‘AayaatiKa – (He shall recite unto them Thy
Revelations). The first work of the Messenger of Allah Almighty (glory, grace,
blessings and peace be upon Him) is recitation of the verses of Holy Qur’an in front of His nation. That is
to say; ‘to convey and teach the Word of Allah Almighty. As though, His first
status/position is “the Greatest Preacher”.
Yu-‘allimuhumul- Kitaaba – (He shall instruct them in the Scripture, teach them The
Book) the work of Messenger of God Almighty (glory, grace, blessings and peace
be upon Him) does not end only on preaching and conveying, It is His duty too to
teach the Holy Book of God Almighty after preaching and conveying. As it were,
His second status/position is the Greatest Teacher.
Al-Hikmata – (Knowledge, talks of Wisdom), Third work of the Prophet of
God Almighty is to teach wisdom and philosophy, to cause to know the Commands
and matters relating Holy Qur’an, to
teach etiquettes, to tell the solution of various and complicated matters
regarding the life in Its light as though; His third status is the greatest
religious and spiritual Guide.
Yuzakkiihim – (He shall make them grow, shall purify them) Tazkiah means the purification of the
hearts. Fourth work of the Messenger of God Almighty (glory, grace, blessings
and peace be upon Him) is to produce chastity of morality and sincerity of
intentions with His company and training. That is to say, He is the greatest
Antidote and Reformer.
The Prophet Abraham and
His son Prophet Ishmael (peace be upon Them) used to pray from Allah Almighty
during the construction of the House of Allah, “O Our Lord! Produce a
Submissive nation from our race, raise up a Messenger from among them, He would
have four characteristics:
He (glory, grace,
blessings and peace be upon Him) would recite, teach and admonish the Book of
Allah to the people, and by means of It; purify their hearts. That is to say,
He would be Preacher, Teacher, religious and spiritual Guide, and Reformer”.
These entire characteristics were fulfilled into the Last Messenger of God
Almighty (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him).
