Stories Of The Prophets In The Qur'an         119


          being written down for them because of it. Allah does not let the wage
          of the good-doers go to waste. (Surat at-Tawba, 120)
           The Prophet has closer ties to the believers than their own selves,
          and his wives are their mothers. But blood-relations have closer ties to
          one another in the Book of Allah than the believers and emigrants. All
          the same you should act correctly by your friends; that is inscribed in
          the Book. (Surat al-Ahzab, 6)
           He is a Witness, a Bearer of Good News and a Warner
           O Prophet! We have sent you as a witness, and a bringer of good
          news and a warner. (Surat al-Ahzab, 45)
           Give the good news to those who believe and do right actions that
          they will have Gardens with rivers flowing under them. When they
          are given fruit there as provision, they will say, 'This is what we were
          given before.' And it is given to them in resemblance. They will have

           In this way We have made you a middlemost community, so that

          ness against you. We only appointed the direction you used to face in
          order to know those who follow the Messenger from those who turn

          for those Allah has guided. Allah would never let your faith go to
          waste. Allah is All-Gentle, Most Merciful to mankind. (Surat al-
          Baqara, 143)
           The Good News of the Prophet Muhammad (saas)
           Given in the Torah and the Gospels
           And when 'Isa son of Maryam said, 'Tribe of Israel, I am the Messen-
          ger of Allah to you, confirming the Torah which came before me and
          giving you the good news of a Messenger after me whose name is
          Ahmad.' When he brought them the Clear Signs, they said, 'This is
          downright magic.' (Surat as-Saff, 6)
           Those who follow the Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, whom
          they find written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel, com-
