invites to Allaah.” [33:46]
4. Shining lantern:
“And one who invites to Allaah, by His permission, and an illuminating lamp.”
[33:46] From a lantern, many lights can be derived. If they turn off, the original
remains. Every companion received something of the Prophet’s light of guidance.
5. Exalting his fame:

The call to perform Salaah.
125
The fundamental day of
Hajj.
126
Two hills, currently in the
Holy Mosque in Makkah,
between which Hagar, mother
of Ishmael ran in search for
water for him when he was a
baby.
“And We raised high for you your repute.” [94:4] Ibn Abbas pointed out that
the Prophet (): “was mentioned along with Allaah in the Athaan, Iqaamah 124 ,
and the Tashahhud; on Fridays from pulpits; of the days of Al-Fitr and Al-Adhha,
and the three days follow; the day of Arafaat 125 ; at the stone-throwing sites
during Hajj; on Safa and Marwah 126 ; in the marriage speech; and everywhere
on earth.
If a man worships Allaah but fails to testify that Muhammad () is Allaah’s
Messenger, his worship counts for nothing. The Prophet’s fame is exalted
among angels in Heaven and among men on Earth. The commended position
and the noble ranks he is given will also exalt his fame in the Hereafter.
Some of His Characters
1. Forbearance:
It is said that when one of the Prophet’s teeth was broken and his head was
fractured on the day of Uhud, his Companions took it hard on themselves and
said: “If you only pray Allaah to punish them.” He said: “I was not sent to be
a cursing man, but rather a promoter and a mercy. Allaah, please guide my
people, for they do not know. 127 ”
