151- AS WE SENT TO YOU A MESSENGER FROM AMONGST YOU, RECITING OUR AYAHS TO YOU, TEACHING YOU THE BOOK AND THE WISDOM, AND TEACHING YOU WHAT YOU DID NOT KNOW.

It is a great bounty from Allah the Highest to have sent to us a messenger, carrying Allah’s Book and Teachings to us all we should know about Allah the Highest and His Way.

Allah the Highest sent us a messenger from amongst us, who is a human being, not an Angel.  We can then see what he does, identify with him, and use him as an example.  His was also the most decent and truthful of people, someone Allah the Highest said about: “YOU ARE OF A GREAT CHARACTER”. (S:68 A:3)

Also the messenger from amongst us will feel for us and care about us as Allah the Highest said: “THERE HAS COME TO YOU A MESSENGER FROM AMONGST YOU, WHO CARES FOR WHAT YOU CARE FOR, AND CARES FOR YOU, AND TO THE BELIEVERS IS MOST KIND AND MERCIFUL”.  (S:9 A:128)

Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him has a definite mission to us.  This mission has many functions, of them:

-         To purity people from the impurity of disbelief.  Allah the Highest said: “YOU WHO BELIEF, TRULY THE DISBELIEVERS ARE IMPURE”.  (S:9 A:28)

Disbelief is the greatest sin of all.

One should mention that the washes after intimate marital relation, or a woman following menstruating is not purifying himself from impurity, but cleansing to be able to pray, for the believer does not become impure.  Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him said: “The believer does not become impure”.  (B:Gosl;23 & M:Heed;115,116 & D:Taharah;91)

-         Teaching Allah’s Word and About Allah and Allah’s Way and the Wisdom Which Allah the Highest placed in His Book.  Allah the Highest bestows His Wisdom on the prophets and messengers and the righteous believers He chooses.  Wisdom is a great bounty and favour from Allah the Highest upon his messenger “HE SENT THE BOOK AND WISDOM DOWN TO YOU, AND TAUGHT YOU WHAT YOU DID NOT KNOW.  INDEED, ALLAH’S BOUNTY UPON YOU IS GREAT”.  (S:4 A:113)

Wisdom is the bounty of the prophets and messengers peace upon them all.  Those of the believers who are given this bounty, have been given a great deal of goodness “HE GIVES THE WISDOM TO WHOM HE WILLS, AND HE WHO HAS BEEN GIVEN THE WISDOM, HE HAS BEEN GIVEN PLENTY OF GOODNESS, BUT ONLY THOSE OF SOUND MINDS WILL KNOW THIS”.  (S:2 A:169)

The wisdom Allah the Highest bestowed upon us is the Quran, Allah’s messenger teachings and example, as well as the wisdom which Allah the Highest bestows on some of his slaves.  There is not limit to Allah’s bounty.
