13.1 Last of the Prophets
Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but
(he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Seal (Last) of the
Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things.
Ch 33: V40
13.2 A universal messenger
We have sent you as a universal (messenger) to men,
giving them glad tidings, and warning them (against
sin), but most men understand not.
Ch 34: V28
13.3 A human like other humans
Say: “I am but a man like yourselves, (but) the inspiration
has come to me, that your God is one Allah: whoever
expects to meet his Lord, let him do good actions, and,
in the worship of his Lord, join no one as a partner.
Ch 18: V110
13.4 Received the light of revelation - the Quran
And thus have We, by Our Command, sent inspiration
to you: you did not know (before) what was Revelation,
and what was Faith; but We have made the (Quran) a
Light, with which We guide such of Our servants as We
will; and verily you guide (men) to the Straight Way.
Ch 42: V 52
13.5 Did not have knowledge of the future
Say: “I am not the first of the messengers, nor do I know
what will be done with me or with you. I follow but
that which is revealed to me by inspiration; I am but a
warner open and clear.”
Ch 46: V9
13.6 Cannot change the Quran - only follows it as
revealed
But when Our clear signs are rehearsed unto them,
those who rest not their hope on their meeting with Us,
Say: “Bring us a Quran other than this, or change this,”
Say: “It is not for me, of my own accord, to change it: I
follow nothing but what is revealed unto me: if I were
to disobey my Lord, I should myself fear the penalty of a
Great Day (to come).”
Ch 10: V15
13.7 Has a beautiful pattern of conduct
You have indeed in the Messenger of Allah an excellent
example for any one whose hope is in Allah and the
final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah.
Ch 33: V21
13.8 Removed restrictions not sanctioned by Allah
Those who follow the messenger, the untutored
Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own
(scriptures), in the Torah and the Gospel;- for he
commands them what is just and forbids them what is
evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure)
and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); he
releases them from their heavy burdens and from the
shackles that are upon them. So it is those who believe
in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light
which is sent down with him, it is they who will prosper.
Ch 7: V157
13.9 Did not have (secret) treasures (or knowledge)
Say: “I tell you not that with me are the treasures of
Allah, nor do I know what is hidden, nor do I tell you I
am an angel. I only follow what is revealed to me.” Say:
“Can the blind be held equal to the seeing?” Will you
not then reflect?
Ch 6: V50
13.10 Exalted standard of character
And you (O Muhammad) are of the noblest moral
character.
Ch 68: V4
13.11 No more than a messenger
Muhammad is no more than a messenger: messengers
have passed away before him. If he died or were killed,
will you then turn back on your heels? If any did turn
back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allah;
but Allah (on the other hand) will swiftly reward those
who (serve Him) with gratitude.
Ch 3: V144
13.12 A mercy to all creation
We sent you not, but as a Mercy for all creation.
Ch 21: V107
13.13 Complains that people had left the Quran
Then the messenger (Muhammad) will say “O My Lord!
Truly my people deserted this Quran.”
Ch 25: V30
