Preparation and Qualification of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) For Carrying the Message: An Objective Study in Light of Holy Quran: Preparation and Qualification of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) For Carrying the Message: An Objective Study in Light of Holy Quran Dr. Ali Naser Ali Sail

Abstract

The study discusses the topic of preparing and qualifying the Prophet (peace be upon him) to carry the message of Allah. It is an objective study in the of the Holy Quran where the researcher illustrates Allah’s preparation of the Prophet (PBUH) to carry the message. The first section of the research deals with the psychological, social and historical preparation of the Prophet (PBUH). The second section, however, deals with the ‘Dawa’ (Islamic call) preparation which requires staying up for prayer at night and reciting the Holy Quran; setting a good example; being patient, tenacious and heroic; and glorifying and supplicating to Allah. The search reached the following conclusion:

-           Allah (Praised and Exalted be He) has prepared the Prophet Muhammad under His care, chosen him from all the people of the worlds, supported him with miracles, indications, and clear proofs, and empowered him with qualifications that have enabled him to carry the final message to the worlds.

-           Allah (Praised and Exalted be He) has psychologically and socially prepared His Prophet to carry the message, and has historically paved the way for his appearance; and that has enabled him to convince everyone around that he has been sent from Allah and that they should have followed him and submitted to what he has brought.

-              Allah (Praised and Exalted be He) has prepared His Prophet and his family to carry the message through staying up for prayer at night, reciting the Holy Quran, and being a good example for his followers. That along with being patient and tenacious in facing the burdens of Dawa, enduring the machinations of the infidels and their wars, and glorifying and supplicating to Allah have helped the Prophet tolerate the hardship of Dawa.
