As far as my humble understanding is concerned, I see two reasons behind this:1. one of them is so that, after observing the incomprehensible splendoursof the Prophet [], people do not take him [] as God, therefore, He []declares that these splendours are not his [] own, and that it is I, theLord of the Earth and the Heavens, Who have conferred them to him[],2. the second wisdom is so that no imprudent individu<strong>al</strong> would deny thesplendours of the Prophet [], because it is AllÁh Who has bestowedthem to him [], Who is Omniscient, All-Wise and All-Powerful.Whoever denies the splendours of the Messengers [], he, in re<strong>al</strong>ity, is denying thepower and wisdom, the attributes of benevolence and philanthropy of AllÁh .<strong>al</strong>-Îamdu li ’LlÁhi ’lladhÐ aÝÔÁ nabiyya-nÁ min <strong>al</strong>-mawÁhib <strong>al</strong>-sunniyyah mÁ lÁ tuÎÒÁ, wa<strong>al</strong>-maÎÁmid <strong>al</strong>-j<strong>al</strong>Ðlah mÁ lÁ tuÝadd(All praise is to AllÁh Who has bestowed our Prophet with innumerable wonderfult<strong>al</strong>ents that cannot be numbered, and with magnificent encomiums that cannot bec<strong>al</strong>culated.)الر َّ ‏ِحي الر َّحْمَ‏ ‏ِن الل َّ ‏ِه بِسْمِ‏‏ِم Bismi ’LlÁhi ’r-RaÎmÁni ’r-RaÎÐmIn the Name of AllÁh, the Divinely Compassionate, the Ever-Merciful.innÁ aÝÔaynÁ-ka’l-kawthar الْكَوْثَ‏ ‏َر ‏َك أَعْطَيَْنا إ َّناِ‏1. Verily, We have bestowed upon you in abundance (whatever We have given you O’MuÎammad );fa-Ò<strong>al</strong>li li-Rabbi-ka wa ’nÎar فَصَل ِّ لِرَب ِّكَ‏ وَانْحَرْ‏2. So (continue to) turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only).inna shÁni’a-ka huwa ’l-abtar ‏َلأْبتَ‏ ‏ُر ا َّن شَانِئَكَ‏ هُ‏ ‏َو إِ‏3. Surely, it is your enemy (O’ MuÎammad ) who will be severed (from <strong>al</strong>l futurehope). <strong>The</strong> commendation yet continues, which had begun from the Chapter of <strong>al</strong>-ÂuÎÁ (the Glorious Morning Light) 14 , of the wonderful attributes and splendours ofthe Prophet, the Mercy for <strong>al</strong>l the Worlds .14 Noble Qur’Án, Chapter 93
