The Messenger was chosen by Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)

I Seek refuge in Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD), from the Shaitan.

      Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)’s name I begin, the Most Beneficent, the Most

 Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) A mercy to all mankind, generosity, clemency and conduct, forgiveness, gentleness,

TRUSTWORTHINESS

Praise be to Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD).

And May His peace and blessings be upon the Messenger, his family, His Companions, and all those who follow his way until the Day of Judgment.

Word Amin is used for prophets, angel and true believers,

 Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) was called Siddiq and Amin even before Prophet Hood.

 Behold, their brother Noah said to them: "Will ye not fear (Allah)?

 "I am to you a messenger worthy of all trust.” Shu’ara, 26,106-107Similar ayahs are present in this Surah about Hood, Saleh, Loot, and Suhaib.

He has no Iman who does not protect Amana and he has no Salah who does not have Taharaah.

He has no Iman who has no Amana and he has no Deen who does not keep promises.

Return the Amana to whom it belongs and do not commit dishonesty to even one who did it to you.

The second attribute of Prophet Hood is Amana an Arabic word which means ‘trustworthiness’.

It is derived from the same root as the word Mu_min, believer. Being a believer implies being ‘a trustworthy person‘.

The Prophets, upon them all be peace, were foremost in belief and therefore at the summit of trustworthiness.

To stress this principle, Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) summarizes the stories of five Prophets using the same words:

Quran’s teachings on Amana:

We did indeed offer the Trust to the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains;

But they refused to undertake it, being afraid thereof: but man undertook it;-

He was indeed unjust and foolish; (With the result) that Allah has to punish the Hypocrites,

 Men and women, and the Unbelievers, men and women, and Allah turns in Mercy to the Believers,

Men and women: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Al-Ahzab 33, 72-73

The people of Noah denied the Messengers. When their brother Noah said to them:

‘Will you not fear Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) and avoid evil? I am a trustworthy Messenger to you?’ (al-Shu‘ara’, 26.105–107)

In summary of the other stories, the names HUD, Lot, Shu’aib and Salih replace the name Noah.

These are just a few of the many verses emphasizing the trustworthiness of the Prophets.

Hadith about Amana if you have 4 things in you, then even if you loose the whole material world, you are not a looser:

Protection of Amana Truthfulness Beautiful morals Sustenance earned through Halaal means. (Musnad Ahmad)

It should be noted that Mu_min, trustworthy, is one of the Divine Names.

Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) is the ultimate Mu_min; Because He is the source of security and reliability.

We put our trust in, confide in, and rely upon, Him.

 He distinguished the Prophets by their trustworthiness.

Our connection to Him is through the Prophets and is based entirely on their trustworthiness and reliability.

As trustworthiness is a most important attribute of Prophet Hood, it is also an essential quality of the Archangel Gabriel A.S...

The Qur’an describes Gabriel as one obeyed and trustworthy (al-Takwir, 81.21).

We received the Qur’an through two trustworthy Messengers, Gabriel A.S. and Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)

Gabriel A.S. conveyed it to Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam), and the latter communicated it to us.

The trustworthiness of Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)’s Messenger

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam), was trustworthy to the utmost degree in his mission as a Prophet And in his general behavior towards Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) s creatures.

As he did not show any disloyalty to his cause, neither did he cheat anybody in his life.

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)’s trustworthiness concerning his mission

The Messenger was chosen by Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) for his trustworthiness so that he would be totally devoted to delivering the Message truthfully.

He was so concerned about his duty that he used to repeat the verses while Gabriel was reciting them to him until Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) revealed:

Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur’an) to make haste therewith. It is for us to collect it, to establish it in your heart and enable you to recite it. So, when we have recited it to you, then follow you its recital.

Then it is also for us to make it clear to you. (Al-Qiyamah, 75.16—9)

As the Qur’an was given to him as a trust, he did his utmost to convey it to people in the best way possible.

He dedicated his life to this sacred cause, constantly aware of the weight of his responsibility.

In the last year of his life, he made his farewell pilgrimage, during which he gave a sermon on the hill of ‘Arafat.

 He communicated to people the Commandments of Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) once more and at the end of each sentence, he told the pilgrims,

They will, in the near future, inquire of you about me, and asked them: Have I conveyed the Message to you?

Each time the Muslims answered, ‘Yes, you have conveyed’, he repeated, O Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD), be the witness!

Specific events demonstrating the Messenger’s trustworthiness

Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, Never thought of concealing even a word of the Divine Revelation.

We read in the Qur’an that Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) admonished him mildly for a few actions of his.

 Were he not the Messenger of Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)

And — Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) forbids the thought! —

Were he the author of the Qur’an, there would have been no such admonition in it.

The society in which the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) was raised was a primitive one.

Many of the prevalent customs contradicted reason and sociological and scientific facts.

 For example, adopted children enjoyed the same legal status as natural children

And it followed that a man could not legally marry, for example, the widow or former wife of an adopted son.

This practice was to be abolished, as adoption can never create a relationship comparable to the relationship with biological parents.

Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) chose to solve this problem, as always,

 Through the ideal example of His Messenger in order to separate a ‘legal’ fiction from a natural reality, and established a new law and custom.

Zaid (radiyallaahu ‘anhu) who was an emancipated slave

And servant of Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)’s Messenger whom he addressed as ‘my son’, had married Zainab (radiyallaahu ‘anha), the daughter of Jahsh. It was Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)’s Messenger himself, upon him be peace and blessings,

Who had arranged this marriage?

 Nevertheless, it soon became clear that the marriage would not last long.

Zaid (radiyallaahu ‘anhu) admitted that he was spiritually inferior to his wife.

He concluded that it was better for him to divorce her. In the end,

The Qur’an commanded Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam),

We gave her in marriage to you (al-Ahzab, 33.37).

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam), was obliged by this Divine command to marry her.

This was, of course, against the established traditions of the time,

And was difficult for Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)’s Messenger to carry out, as the hypocrites would use this opportunity to defame him,

So he delayed announcing the Divine decree, for which he received the following admonition:

Then, you said to him on whom Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) bestowed grace and you have done favour,

‘Keep your wife to yourself and fear Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)’.

 But you did hide in your heart that which Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) was about to make manifest because you feared the people [That they would speak slander against you], whereas Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) had a better right that you should fear him. (Al-Ahzab, 33.37)

‘Aisha (radiyallaahu ‘anha), Mother of Believers, later commented on the event:

If Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)’s Messenger had been willing to conceal any Revelation, he would have concealed that verse.

If Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam),

Had not been a trustworthy Messenger, he would, as ‘Aisha R.A. rightly said, have concealed that verse.

However, concealing it would have been contrary to his character and mission.

Furthermore, the verse 67 of Surah al-Maida contains a clear,

Decisive order for the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) not to conceal anything of the Qur’an,

For concealment of even a single Revelation would amount to mean that he did not deliver his Message. The verse reads:

O Messenger, deliver what has been sent down to you from your Lord; for if you do not,

You will not have fulfilled your task of His Messenger ship. Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) will protect you from men.

Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) guides not the people of the unbelievers.

So, Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings,

Communicated to people whatever was revealed to Him by Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) s trustworthiness in his relations with creatures

Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, was trustworthy and encouraged trustworthiness.

Once, during the last ten days of the month of Ramadan,

His wife Sofia (radiyallaahu ‘anha) visited him while he confined himself in mosque for constant prayer.

As he escorted her home, two of his Companions happened to pass by.

The Messenger stopped them and, unveiling the face of his wife Sofia, said to them, Look, this is my wife, Sofia!

They said: ‘Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) forbids any evil thought about you, O Messenger of Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)!’

 The Messenger had wanted to warn them against any evil suspicion about him, which might cause them to lose their faith and thereby condemn them to eternal Hellfire.

He gave them and us a lesson, saying, Satan continuously circulates within man in his blood vessels.

Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)’s Messenger was an embodiment of trustworthiness.

The Makkan’s called him ‘the Trustworthy One.

’ Even after the declaration of his Prophet Hood,

They continued to entrust their precious goods to him although they regarded him as an enemy.

He warned his people against lying, breaking one’s word and breach of trust.

Like breaching a trust and breaking one’s word,

lying was also, in his words, ‘a sign of hypocrisy’.

 He was so meticulous in this matter that once he saw a woman calls her child saying,

‘Come on, I’ll give you something! ‘He asked her whether she would really give the child something.

When the woman replied that she would give him a date, Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD)’s Messenger warned:

If you were not to give something, that would be a lie!

He was not only against deceiving humans, but even warned people against deceiving animals.

Once, annoyed at seeing one of his Companions call his horse using deception, he said:

You should give up deceiving animals. You should be trustworthy even in your treatment of them!

Some of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) beautiful qualities are:

A mercy to all mankind, generosity, clemency and conduct, forgiveness, gentleness,

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: “A man came to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam)

 And spoke to him in a very bad way saying:

” Oh Muhammad, give me some of Allah’s gifts you have.

” The Prophet looked at him and smiled, and then he ordered giving him the money he needed.”

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) was a Mercy to all mankind:

Allah Said:”It was by the mercy of Allah that you were lenient with them” (Quran, 3:159)

Allah Said:”for the believers he is full of pity, kind and merciful.” (Quran, 9:128)

May Allah Subhanawataala grant us what is best in this world and the next!

Action speaks louder then words my friend’s practice Islam the way of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) did.

 May Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) help us to do that which He loves and which pleases Him?

May Allah Subhanahu WA Ta’aala (GOD) make our efforts sincere and keep us all on the straight path...........
