Conclusion
In the Qur'an, Allah states that He has brought about many miracles by
means of the prophets. When the Prophet Musa (as) threw down his staff,
for instance, it turned into a serpent, and when he smote the sea with
that staff it divided into two, leaving a dry path down the middle. The
Prophet 'Isa (as) came into the world without a father, and spoke while
he was still in the cradle. Another miracle is the way he was able to
heal the sick… All these miracles were support and help given to them,
in the sight of Allah, to allow them to convince the people and lead them
to believe in them.
Allah supported the Prophet Muhammad (saas) by means of both the miracles
in the Qur'an and with information given him regarding the unknown. The
Prophet (saas) supplied details about events that would happen in the
near and distant future. Seeing these actually come to be is both a means
of increasing the excitement of believers and of warming the hearts of
unbelievers towards Islam.
Events that would have seemed impossible to happen in his own time, and
that no one could even have imagined, which are now occurring one after
the other, are clear evidence of the fact that the Prophet (saas) was
relating special knowledge.
We must make it clear that those who refuse to be guided to the true
path will nevertheless still refuse to believe, despite the clear evidence
and miracles of the Prophet (saas) and the Qur'an. Allah reveals that
fact in the Qur'an:
They have sworn by Allah with their most earnest
oaths that if a Sign comes to them they will believe in it. Say: "The
Signs are in Allah's control alone." What will make you realise that even
if a Sign did come, they would still not believe? (Surat al-An'am: 109)
Conclusion:Those who abide by the Prophet (saas) will
be saved
The most important reason for learning about the morality of the Prophet
(saas), and how he behaved under particular conditions, is to take these
as examples in order to try to emulate him in godliness, uprightness,
purity of faith, modesty, cleanliness and belief. Most individuals take
other people as their role models, emulate their behavior and try to talk
and act like them. However, it is the Prophet (saas), and the other prophets
who acted and believed like him, who ought to be followed.
In the verses of the Qur'an, Allah stresses the importance of believing
in Him and His Prophet (saas), and of supporting and helping the Prophet
(saas) and following his path. He has given the good news that those who
do so will be saved:
So that you might all believe in Allah and His Messenger
and honor Him and respect Him and glorify Him in the morning and the evening.
(Surat al-Fath: 9)
"… Those who believe in him and honor him and help him,
and follow the Light that has been sent down with him, they are the ones
who are successful." (Surat al-A'raf: 157)
Supporting the Prophet (saas) at the present time is only possible by
abiding by the Qur'an and his Sunnah, by making the same efforts as he
did to spread the morality of the Qur'an throughout the world, and by
doing all in one's power to be like him. Allah will help those who do
so in the same way that He helped the Prophet (saas). He will ease their
task and grant them success where they would have never expected it. Though,
the most important reason for attempting to resemble the Prophet (saas)
is to win our Lord's good pleasure, mercy and Paradise.
