Transliteration:( Rasoolum minal laahi yatlu suhufam mutahharah )
3.The Holy Prophet. Here, it is not being said to whom the Prophet sent. This tells us that the Holy Prophet is the Prophet for the entire creation of Allah Almighty. The prophet and the attorney both do different works, but the attorney does so on his own responsibility while the Prophet does so at the responsibility of the sender because the speeds and deeds of the Prophet are not his own but that of the sender. Every word and deed of the Holy Prophet ? every expression is from Allah Almighty, because he is Allah's Prophet and a Prophet under every condition.
Thus, raising objection against the Holy Prophet ? is equal to raising objection against Allah Almighty. The praise of the Holy Prophet ? is indeed praise of Allah Almighty. It should be remembered that the TANWEEN on RASOOL i.c. RASOOLUN is one of respect i.e. a dignified Prophet who is a Prophet from eternity. He was already a Prophet while Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace) was still between water and dust i.e. still assuming the nature of man. He will be a Prophet for eternity. A man after death is out of the kingdom of the king but he still remains the follower of the Holy Prophet ? even after his death. That is why the follower is made to identify the Holy Prophet in the grave. Prior to the advent of the Holy Prophet these questions were not asked in the grave.
He is Prophet under all circumstances,in a state of sleep and wakefulness, being in motion, etc. For this reason emulating every habit of the Holy Prophet is an act of worship for us. He is a Prophet unto The everybody, so much so, that on the Day of Judgement the Prophets who had been making their followers to recite their Kalimah would now be reciting the Kalimah of the Holy Prophet Allah ? From is told that his Prophethood is not The through your votes and support, that you may make him to retire or remove him, but he is . Prophet from Allah Almighty Just as you cannot extinguish the light of the moon and the sun. likewise you cannot diminish his greatness.
4. It means the Holy Quran, which is the collection of all the previous revealed books. and is pure from interpolation i.e. it has been revealed from a pure place through the pure angels to a pure Prophet. It will remain for eternity on pure tongues, in pure hearts and in the pure hands. Also, it is protected from any addition or alteration. It should be remembered that the recitation of the Holy Prophet ? is a miracle as he read and - taught it to others without anyone's tutorship, understood and made others to understand it. Our recitation is not a miracle because we are taught its recitation, its laws of recitation, its laws and mystical meanings from qualified Huffaaz and scholars of the Holy Quran. Also, it is through the Holy Prophet ? that the angels received the heavenly Quran.

4. Here, the Prophet (peace be upon him) has been calledthe clear evidence, for his life before and afterProphethood, his presenting a Book like the Quran in spiteof being un-lettered, his bringing about an extraordinaryrevolution in the lives of the converts to Islam througheducation and training, his educating the people in rationalbeliefs, clean and pure forms of worship, excellent moralsand the best principles and injunctions for human life,perfect harmony and agreement between his word anddeed, and his constancy of purpose in respect of hismessage in spite of every kind of resistance and opposition,all these were clear signs of the truth that he was Allah’sMessenger.
5. Lexically, suhuf means written pages, but in the Quranthis word has been used as a term for the Books revealed tothe Prophets of Allah (peace be upon them); and by thescriptures are meant the scriptures which are free fromevery mixture of falsehood, every kind of error and moralfilth. The full import of these words becomes evident whenone studies the Bible (and the books of other religions aswell) vis-a-vis the Quran, and finds written in them alongwith sound teachings such things as are not only opposed totruth and reason but are also morally contemptible. Afterreading them when one turns to the Quran, one realizeshow pure and hallowed this Book is.
[1959]- i.e., containing no falsehood.
