WHO WROTE THE QURAN

O Mankind! No prophet will come after me. And there is no Ummah (anIdeology-based Community) after you.It is incumbent upon you to convey this Message of mine unto those whoare not present here. Allah will ask you about me on the Day ofResurrection. Tell me, what you will say. The noble companions and thecongregation repeating after a Sahabi's voice proclaimed, "We witness thatyou have conveyed the Message of Allah and fulfilled your Trust."On hearing this, the Prophet (S) raised his hands and said, "O Allah! Bewitness. O Allah! Be witness. O Allah! Be witness."At this point, Allah revealed again part of a verse to the exalted Prophet, 5:3----- This Day I have perfected your DEEN for you, completed My favor uponyou, and chosen for you Al-Islam as the System of Life. ----.CHAPTER 09THE GREATEST MAN DEPARTS,JUNE 8, 632 CE, RA 12, 11 HIJRAHThe Prophet (S) returned home to Madinah. Only a few months later, hebreathed his last, in peace. Chest pain and high fever in his last few dayspoint to possible Pneumonia as the terminal illness. He had nominatedAbu Bakr r. a. as his successor and the Caliph would get the vote ofconfidence from the masses.THE TRULY REMARKABLE LAST WORDS:"Allahumma Rafeeqil A'laa" (Allah is the Glorious Companion). Even in hislast words, the Prophet (S) raised humanity to glorious heights. Thinking ofAllah as our Companion confers tremendous dignity upon humankind.Thus, we become the lesser companions. When we live according to HisLaws, we figuratively join hands with Him, thereby creating Paradise on theearth and inheriting it in the Hereafter.HAS MUHAMMAD, THE EXALTED DIED? :Physically yes, but his Noble Mission is marching on. In this sense, he isliving. The Quran foretells more than once that its Noble Message willprevail over all religion and ways of life. Just as the Creator is One,mankind is One Community.THE STATE OF MADINAH - THE CONSTITUTION -CHAPTER 10 THE GOVERNMENT74
