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 also raise up a
Messenger from among them. It is evident clearly that it signifies towards the
race out of the Prophet Ishmael (peace be upon Him). The God Almighty accepted
their prayer and the Last Messenger of God Almighty, Muhammad (may glory, grace,
blessings and peace be upon Him) was born out of 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 (may
glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) is recitation of
verses of Holy Qur’an in front of His nation. That is to say ‘to convey and
teach the Speech 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 (may
glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) does not end only on
preaching and conveying, It is also His duty 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 – (Talks of Wisdom) Third work of
the Prophet of God Almighty is to teach wisdom and philosophy, to admonish
orders 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 (may 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 Khana Ka’-ba,
“O Our Lord! Produce a Submissive nation from our race, raise up a Messenger
from among them, He would have four characteristics:
He
(may glory,
grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) would recite, teach
and admonish the Book of Allah to the people, and through It purify the hearts.
That is to say, He would be Preacher, Teacher, religious and spiritual Guide, and
Reformer”. The Last Messenger of God Almighty (may glory, grace, blessings and
peace be upon Him) rose to the situation of all these things.
