the prophet muhammad (saas) - Prophet Muhammad (SAW) for All

Allah knows what is in such people's hearts so turn away from them and warn them and speak to
them with words that take effect. (Surat an-Nisa': 63)
It was of course a heavy responsibility to give advice to his enemies, to show them the error of their
ways and to call them to the true path. Yet, for someone who, like the Prophet (saas), has put his trust in
Allah, who knows that faith is a gift from Him, and fears Allah alone, and not anyone else, Allah will provide
assistance and support.
In several verses of the Qur'an, Allah reveals that He has sent messengers in order to turn those who
have strayed back to the true path, to purify them, and to teach them the holy verses. As we have seen
above, throughout his life, the Prophet (saas) persevered in the responsibility that Allah had laid on him with
great patience, fortitude and determination. Even in the final sermon that he gave, very shortly before dying,
he continued to teach and instruct Muslims.
Allah sets out these beautiful responsibilities in a number of verses:
For this We sent a Messenger to you from among you to recite Our Signs to you and purify you and
teach you the Book and Wisdom and teach you things you did not know before. (Surat al-Baqara: 151)
Allah showed great kindness to the believers when He sent a Messenger to them from among
themselves to recite His Signs to them and purify them and teach them the Book and Wisdom, even
though before that they were clearly misguided. (Surah Al ‘Imran: 164)
It is He who raised up among the Ummi a Messenger from them to recite His Signs to them and
purify them and teach them the Book and Wisdom, even though before that they were clearly misguided.
(Surat al-Jumu‘a: 2)
life":
In one verse, Allah describes the Prophet (saas)'s advice and warnings as "things that will bring one to
You who believe! Respond to Allah and to the Messenger when He calls you to what will bring you
to life! Know that Allah intervenes between a man and his heart and that you will be gathered to Him.
(Surat al-Anfal: 24)
That is why the Prophet (saas)'s advice and exhortations are unlike those of anyone else. Abiding by
these warnings is a means of salvation in this world and the next. Each of the Prophet (saas)'s exhortations
are founded on wisdom that will save people from evil, cruelty, pessimism and suffering. Since all his advice
is inspired and assured by Allah, a sincere Muslim will surrender himself to them and find faith.
The words of the Prophet (saas) that have come down to us contain the excellent advice he gave to
the faithful. One example is the advice he gave to his companion Muadh. It is reported that he spoke thus:
