Stories Of The Prophets In The Qur'an 117

By the Wise Qur'an. Truly you are one of the Messengers. (Surah Ya
Sin, 2-3)
Say: 'Mankind! I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, of Him to
Whom the kingdom of the heavens and earth belongs. There is no god
but Him. He gives life and causes to die.' So believe in Allah and His
Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, who believes in Allah and His
words, and follow him so that hopefully you will be guided.' (Surat al-
A'raf, 158)
In the same way We have sent you among a nation before which other
nations passed away, to recite to them what We have revealed to you. Yet
they still reject the All-Merciful. Say: 'He is my Lord; there is no god but
Him. I put my trust in Him and I turn to Him.' (Surat ar-Ra'd, 30)
Those are Allah's Signs which We recite to you with truth. You are in-
deed one of the Messengers. (Surat al-Baqara, 252)
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him
are fierce to the disbelievers, merciful to one another. You see them
bowing and prostrating, seeking Allah's good favour and His pleas-
ure. Their mark is on their faces, the traces of prostration. That is their
likeness in the Torah. And their likeness in the Injil is that of a seed
which puts up a shoot and makes it strong so that it thickens and
grows up straight upon its stalk, filling the sowers with delight – so
that by them He may infuriate the disbelievers. Allah has promised
those of them who believe and do right actions forgiveness and an im-
mense reward. (Surat al-Fath, 29)
O Messenger! Transmit what has been sent down to you from your
Lord. If you do not do it you will not have transmitted His Message.
Allah will protect you from people. Allah does not guide the people of
the disbelievers. (Surat al-Ma'ida, 67)
Muhammad is only a Messenger and he has been preceded by other
Messengers. If he were to die or be killed, would you turn on your
heels? Those who turn on their heels do not harm Allah in any way.
Allah will recompense the thankful. (Surah Al 'Imran, 144)
I swear both by what you see and what you do not see, that this is the
word of a noble Messenger. It is not the word of a poet –how little faith
you have! Nor the word of a fortune-teller –how little heed you pay! It is
a revelation from the Lord of all the worlds. (Surat al-Haqqa, 38-43)
