رَّبِّ اَعُوۡذُ بِکَ مِنۡ ھَمَزٰتِ الشَّیٰطِیۡنِ ۙ وَ اَعُوۡذُ بِکَ رَبِّ اَنۡ یَّحۡضُرُوۡن ؕ۔

بِسۡمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِۙ۔

وَاَطِيۡعُوا اللّٰهَ وَالرَّسُوۡلَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُوۡنَ‌ۚ‏ ۩۔

[Q-03:132]

            Obey Allah and Messenger. So that mercy may be bestowed on you. (132).

اِتَّبِعُوۡا مَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوۡا مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖۤ اَوۡلِيَآءَ‌ ؕ قَلِيۡلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُوۡنَ ۩۔

[Q-07:03]

            O people! Follow what has been revealed to you from your Lord. And do not obey other saints besides Allah. But you people listen to very little advice (3).

           Allah Almighty commands His servants to obey Him and His Messenger. But the difference between the two obediences is heaven and earth. Obedience to Allah means servitude to Allah. And obedience to the Messenger means honoring and respecting the Messenger and following the message (Quran) that Allah revealed to the Messenger. Allah Ta’ala says this in the following verses. . ..

اِنَّاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنٰكَ شَاهِدًا وَّمُبَشِّرًا وَّنَذِيۡرًا ۩۔ لِّـتُؤۡمِنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ وَ رَسُوۡلِهٖ وَتُعَزِّرُوۡهُ وَتُوَقِّرُوۡهُ ؕ وَتُسَبِّحُوۡهُ بُكۡرَةً وَّاَصِيۡلًا ۩۔

[Q-48:8-9]

            Indeed, we have sent you as a witness and a bearer of glad tidings and a warner (8) so that you, O people, may believe in Allah and His Messenger, and support Him, and honor and respect Him. And glorify [Allah] morning and evening (9).

وَاَطِيۡعُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيۡعُوا الرَّسُوۡلَ وَاحۡذَرُوۡا‌ ۚ فَاِنۡ تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ فَاعۡلَمُوۡۤا اَنَّمَا عَلٰى رَسُوۡلِنَا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ ۩۔ 

[Q-05:92]

            Obey Allah and obey His Messenger and be afraid. If you turn away, then know that our Prophet is only responsible for conveying the message openly (92).

قُلۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ تُحِبُّوۡنَ اللّٰهَ فَاتَّبِعُوۡنِىۡ يُحۡبِبۡكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَيَغۡفِرۡ لَـكُمۡ ذُنُوۡبَكُمۡؕ‌ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ‏ ۩۔ قُلۡ اَطِيۡعُوا اللّٰهَ وَالرَّسُوۡلَ‌‌ ۚ فَاِنۡ تَوَلَّوۡا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ ۩۔

[Q-03:31-32]

           (O Muhammad) say! If you love God, follow me. God will also keep you as a friend. And He will forgive your sins, and God is Forgiving, Merciful. (31) Say (O Muhammad)! To obey Allah and His Messenger. If they do not believe, then even God is not a friend of the disbelievers (32).

قُلۡ اِنَّمَاۤ اُمِرۡتُ اَنۡ اَعۡبُدَ اللّٰهَ وَلَاۤ اُشۡرِكَ بِهٖؕ اِلَيۡهِ اَدۡعُوۡا وَاِلَيۡهِ مَاٰبِ ۩۔

[Q-13:36]

            (O Muhammad ﷺ) say! I have been commanded to worship only Allah. And do not associate anyone with it. To Him I invite, and to Him is my return.

اِنَّمَا كَانَ قَوۡلَ الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ اِذَا دُعُوۡۤا اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَرَسُوۡلِهٖ لِيَحۡكُمَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ اَنۡ يَّقُوۡلُوۡا سَمِعۡنَا وَاَطَعۡنَا‌ؕ وَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡمُفۡلِحُوۡنَ ۩۔ وَمَنۡ يُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوۡلَهٗ وَيَخۡشَ اللّٰهَ وَيَتَّقۡهِ فَاُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡفَآٮِٕزُوۡنَ ۩۔

[Q-24:51-52]

            They are believers. That when they are called to God and His Messenger to judge between them. So, say they! That we heard (the order) and obeyed. And these are the people who will prosper (51) and whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, and fears Him, such people will reach the goal (52).

وَاَقِيۡمُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰ تُوا الزَّكٰوةَ وَاَطِيۡـعُوا الرَّسُوۡلَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُوۡنَ‏ ۩۔

[Q-24:56]

          And continue to pray and give Zakat, and follow the command of the Messenger of God, so that you may be shown mercy.

By the command of God, Muhammad (ﷺ) preaches sincerely.

الٓرٰ‌ ࣞ  كِتٰبٌ اُحۡكِمَتۡ اٰيٰـتُهٗ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتۡ مِنۡ لَّدُنۡ حَكِيۡمٍ خَبِيۡرٍۙ‏ ۩۔ اَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوۡۤا اِلَّا اللّٰهَ‌ ؕ اِنَّنِىۡ لَـكُمۡ مِّنۡهُ نَذِيۡرٌ وَّبَشِيۡرٌ ۙ‏ ۩۔ وَّاَنِ اسۡتَغۡفِرُوۡا رَبَّكُمۡ ثُمَّ تُوۡبُوۡۤا اِلَيۡهِ يُمَتِّعۡكُمۡ مَّتَاعًا حَسَنًا اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَ يُؤۡتِ كُلَّ ذِىۡ فَضۡلٍ فَضۡلَهٗ ‌ؕ وَاِنۡ تَوَلَّوۡا فَاِنِّىۡۤ اَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ كَبِيۡرٍ ۩۔

[Q-11:1-3]

             Alif, Lam, Ra. This is a book whose verses are stable. And they have been explained in detail by God, the All-Wise and All-Knowing. And that you seek forgiveness from your Lord, then turn to Him, so that He may bestow upon you good benefits for an appointed time, and give greater reward to whoever has done better. And if you turn away from faith, I fear for you the chastisement of a great day.

***********************

Allah testifies that Muhammad is the Messenger.

مَاۤ اَصَابَكَ مِنۡ حَسَنَةٍ فَمِنَ اللّٰهِ‌ؗ وَمَاۤ اَصَابَكَ مِنۡ سَيِّئَةٍ فَمِنۡ نَّـفۡسِكَ‌ ؕ وَاَرۡسَلۡنٰكَ لِلنَّاسِ رَسُوۡلًا‌ ؕ وَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ شَهِيۡدًا‏ ۩۔ مَنۡ يُّطِعِ الرَّسُوۡلَ فَقَدۡ اَطَاعَ اللّٰهَ ‌ۚ وَمَنۡ تَوَلّٰى فَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنٰكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَفِيۡظًا ؕ ۩۔

[Q-04:79-80]

            Whatever good befalls you is from Allah. And whatever harm befalls you, it is from your own self. I have sent you as a messenger to the people. And Allah’s testimony [on your prophethood] is sufficient (79) He who obeyed the command of the Messenger, he obey Allah and his command, and whoever turned away! So, we have not sent you as a guardian over them (80).

**********************

The Messenger is too also ordered to obey the Qur’an.

يٰۤـاَيُّهَا النَّبِىُّ اتَّقِ اللّٰهَ وَلَا تُطِعِ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ وَالۡمُنٰفِقِيۡنَ‌ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِيۡمًا حَكِيۡمًا ۙ‏ ۩۔ وَّاتَّبِعۡ مَا يُوۡحٰٓى اِلَيۡكَ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ‌ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ خَبِيۡرًا ۙ‏ ۩۔

[Q-33:1-2]

         O Prophet, be afraid of God, and do not obey the words of the infidels and hypocrites. Indeed, God is All-Knowing and All-Wise. And follow what (the Qur’an) has been revealed to you from your Lord. God is aware of all your actions.

قُلْ لَّاۤ اَقُوۡلُ لَـكُمۡ عِنۡدِىۡ خَزَآٮِٕنُ اللّٰهِ وَلَاۤ اَعۡلَمُ الۡغَيۡبَ وَلَاۤ اَقُوۡلُ لَـكُمۡ اِنِّىۡ مَلَكٌ ۚ اِنۡ اَتَّبِعُ اِلَّا مَا يُوۡحٰٓى اِلَىَّ ؕ  قُلۡ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِى الۡاَعۡمٰى وَالۡبَصِيۡرُ ؕ  اَفَلَا تَتَفَكَّرُوۡنَ ۩۔

[Q-06:50]

            say it! I do not tell you that I have the treasures of Allah. And neither do I have knowledge of the unseen, nor do I say that! I am an angel; I only follow the revelation that is revealed to me. say it! Can the blind and the sighted be equal. Do you not think and think?

اِتَّبِعۡ مَاۤ اُوۡحِىَ اِلَيۡكَ مِنۡ رَّبِّكَ‌‌ۚ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ‌ۚ وَاَعۡرِضۡ عَنِ الۡمُشۡرِكِيۡنَ ۩۔ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ مَاۤ اَشۡرَكُوۡا ‌ؕ وَمَا جَعَلۡنٰكَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَفِيۡظًا‌ ۚ وَمَاۤ اَنۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ بِوَكِيۡلٍ ۩۔

[Q-06:106-107]

             O Prophet! Follow what is revealed to you from your Lord. There is no god but Him and turn away from the polytheists. (106) And if Allah wills, so they do not associate anyone with Allah. And we have not made you guardians over them. And you are not their advocate. (107)

After all, the responsibility of the Prophet is only to convey the message of Allah.

**********************

The life of the Prophets ﷺ is the best example according to the Quran.

لَقَدۡ كَانَ لَكُمۡ فِىۡ رَسُوۡلِ اللّٰهِ اُسۡوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ لِّمَنۡ كَانَ يَرۡجُوا اللّٰهَ وَالۡيَوۡمَ الۡاٰخِرَ وَذَكَرَ اللّٰهَ كَثِيۡرًا ؕ ۩۔

[Q-33:21]

             Verily, there is a better example for you in the Messenger of Allah, for the person who believes in Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah often (21).   

            Indeed, the life of the Prophet was the life of a sincere believer (Momin). Because the foundation of his life was based on the Qur’an. And if we also make the Qur’an the basis of our life. So, we too can become a sincere believer (Momin). And Allah has promised that He will honor His faithful servants in this world and in the Hereafter.      

************************

Commanded mankind to obey the Quran.

يٰبَنِىۡۤ اٰدَمَ اِمَّا يَاۡتِيَنَّكُمۡ رُسُلٌ مِّنۡكُمۡ يَقُصُّوۡنَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ اٰيٰتِىۡ‌ۙ فَمَنِ اتَّقٰى وَاَصۡلَحَ فَلَا خَوۡفٌ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُوۡنَ ۩۔

[Q-07:35]

          O children of Adam! If messengers come to you from among you who recite to you, my verses. So, whoever fears and corrects himself, such people will have no fear (on the Day of Resurrection) nor will they grieve.

 كَمَآ اَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيۡکُمۡ رَسُوۡلًا مِّنۡکُمۡ يَتۡلُوۡا عَلَيۡكُمۡ اٰيٰتِنَا وَيُزَكِّيۡکُمۡ وَيُعَلِّمُکُمُ الۡكِتٰبَ وَالۡحِکۡمَةَ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمۡ مَّا لَمۡ تَكُوۡنُوۡا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ؕ‌ۛ‏ ۩۔

[Q-02:151].

            As We have sent among you a Messenger from among yourselves, who recites to you Our verses and purifies you. And teaches you the Book (Qur’an) and wisdom, and teaches you what you did not know.

قَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ بَصَآٮِٕرُ مِنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ  ۚ  فَمَنۡ اَبۡصَرَ فَلِنَفۡسِهٖ‌ ۚ وَمَنۡ عَمِىَ فَعَلَيۡهَا‌ ؕ وَمَاۤ اَنَا عَلَيۡكُمۡ بِحَفِيۡظٍ ۩۔

[Q-06:104)

            Oh Muhammad! Tell them that. Clear proofs have reached you from your Lord. So, he who assimilated did himself well, and who remained blind. He has done evil to himself. And I am not a guardian over you.

يٰۤـاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدۡ جَآءَكُمُ الرَّسُوۡلُ بِالۡحَـقِّ مِنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ فَاٰمِنُوۡا خَيۡرًا لَّـكُمۡ ؕ ۩۔

[Q-04:170]

            O people! The Prophet has come to you with the truth from your Lord. So believe them. This is good for you.

   يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اٰمِنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوۡلِهٖ وَالۡكِتٰبِ الَّذِىۡ نَزَّلَ عَلٰى رَسُوۡلِهٖ وَالۡكِتٰبِ الَّذِىۡۤ اَنۡزَلَ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ‌ؕ وَمَنۡ يَّكۡفُرۡ بِاللّٰهِ وَمَلٰٓٮِٕكَتِهٖ وَكُتُبِهٖ وَرُسُلِهٖ وَالۡيَوۡمِ الۡاٰخِرِ فَقَدۡ ضَلَّ ضَلٰلًاۢ بَعِيۡدًا ۩۔

[Q-04:136].

           O believers! Believe in Allah and His Messenger, and in the Book that He revealed to His Messenger, and in the Books that He revealed before. And whoever denies Allah, and His angels, and His messengers, and the Day of Resurrection, then that person has gone astray far away.

اِتَّبِعُوۡا مَاۤ اُنۡزِلَ اِلَيۡكُمۡ مِّنۡ رَّبِّكُمۡ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوۡا مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖۤ اَوۡلِيَآءَ‌ ؕ قَلِيۡلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُوۡنَ ۩۔

[Q-07:03]

           Follow the Book which has been revealed to you from your Lord. And do not associate other saints with Allah. You people listen to very little advice.

*******************

Allah will ask both the people and the Prophets about the delivery of the message of monotheism.

وَاِذۡ اَخَذۡنَا مِنَ النَّبِيّٖنَ مِيۡثَاقَهُمۡ وَمِنۡكَ وَمِنۡ نُّوۡحٍ وَّاِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ وَمُوۡسٰى وَعِيۡسَى ابۡنِ مَرۡيَمَ ࣕ وَاَخَذۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ مِّيۡثاقًا غَلِيۡظًا ۙ ۩۔ لِّيَسۡئَلَ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ عَنۡ صِدۡقِهِمۡ‌ۚ وَاَعَدَّ لِلۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ عَذَابًا اَ لِيۡمًا ۩۔

[Q-33:7-8]

           And when We took a covenant with the prophets and (especially) with you and with Noah and with Abraham and with Moses and with Jesus’ son of Mary. And took a firm covenant from them. So that (on the Day of Resurrection) He would prove their truth to those who speak the truth. And He has prepared for the disbelievers a painful punishment (8).

فَلَنَسۡــَٔــلَنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ اُرۡسِلَ اِلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَـنَسۡـَٔـــلَنَّ الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَ ۙ‏ ۩۔ فَلَنَقُصَّنَّ عَلَيۡهِمۡ بِعِلۡمٍ وَّمَا كُنَّا غَآٮِٕبِيۡنَ‏ ۩۔

[Q-07:6-7]

          We shall certainly ask those to whom the Prophets was sent. And will certainly ask the Prophets too. Then We will explain their situation based on our knowledge. And we were not missing anywhere.

            On the day of judgment when all people will be resurrected. There will be in three rows. The first row will be of high-ranking believers and perhaps prophets will also be present in this row. Because the presence of the Prophets on the Day of Judgment is proven by many verses, but their separate ranks are not proven. Yes, Allah says in one place in the Qur’an. . .

             People who obey Allah and His Messenger will be the companions of the Prophets and the righteous and the martyrs and the good people on the Day of Resurrection. (Q-04: 69-70).

The second row will be of believers. And in the third row will be the sinners of black color. Now here the third row will raise the question that O Lord, indeed You are the Lord. But we did not get your message in the world. Otherwise, we would have worshiped too you. This will raise a question about the transmission of the message of monotheism of the Prophets and their purpose. That is, what was revealed to them, they did not convey to the people with the truth.

On that day Allah will not return anyone disappointed. Everyone will be satisfied. No one will be wronged. That’s why Allah says!

           And then We will describe their conditions with Our knowledge and We were not absent anywhere. (Q-07:07).

           And then the prophets will say! O my Lord! We did our duty well, the rest you know better. And then the second and third rows will testify! Yes, surely the Prophets (peace be upon them) conveyed your message to us. We trusted them and served you. And these oppressors continued to oppress us and the prophets.

Extensive information on this topic will be available in the light of the Qur’an in future. Prayer is needed.

******************

Our justice system! It must be according to the rules of Allah and the Messenger.     

يٰۤـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اَطِيۡـعُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيۡـعُوا الرَّسُوۡلَ وَاُولِى الۡاَمۡرِ مِنۡكُمۡ‌ۚ فَاِنۡ تَنَازَعۡتُمۡ فِىۡ شَىۡءٍ فَرُدُّوۡهُ اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَالرَّسُوۡلِ اِنۡ كُنۡـتُمۡ تُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَالۡيَـوۡمِ الۡاٰخِرِ‌ ؕ ذٰ لِكَ خَيۡرٌ وَّاَحۡسَنُ تَاۡوِيۡلًا ۩۔

[Q-04:59]

             O believers! Obey Allah and His Messenger and those who are in government among you. And if there is a difference between you in any matter, and if you believe in Allah and the Last Day, refer it to Allah and His Messenger. It is a very good thing and its end is also good.

*******************

The commands of Allah and the Messenger are obligatory on every believing man and woman.

وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤۡمِنٍ وَّلَا مُؤۡمِنَةٍ اِذَا قَضَى اللّٰهُ وَرَسُوۡلُهٗۤ اَمۡرًا اَنۡ يَّكُوۡنَ لَهُمُ الۡخِيَرَةُ مِنۡ اَمۡرِهِمۡ ؕ وَمَنۡ يَّعۡصِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوۡلَهٗ فَقَدۡ ضَلَّ ضَلٰلًا مُّبِيۡنًا۩۔ 

[Q-33:36]

             And no believing man or woman has this right! When Allah and His Messenger make an order [decision], they should consider their own authority in this matter. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he has clearly gone astray.

قُلۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ تُحِبُّوۡنَ اللّٰهَ فَاتَّبِعُوۡنِىۡ يُحۡبِبۡكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَيَغۡفِرۡ لَـكُمۡ ذُنُوۡبَكُمۡؕ‌ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ ۩۔ قُلۡ اَطِيۡعُوا اللّٰهَ وَالرَّسُوۡلَ‌‌ ۚ  فَاِنۡ تَوَلَّوۡا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ‏ ۩۔

[Q-03:31-32]

            O Prophet say it! If you love Allah then follow me. Allah will love you and forgive your sins and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. say it! Obey Allah and His Messenger. If they do not believe, then God does not like disbelievers.

              Indeed, it is the duty of every believer to obey the commandments of Allah and His Messenger. From the reading so far, it has become clear that every action and every decision of the Messenger of Allah was based on the Qur’an. Now that the Messenger of Allah is not among us for a long time. So, tell me? Should we follow the Sunnah of the Prophet and the Ahadith where the possibility of mixing cannot be ruled out? Or the Quran should be followed. The protection of which is the responsibility of Allah himself. Consider the next two verses. . ..

اَ لَّذِيۡنَ يَتَّبِعُوۡنَ الرَّسُوۡلَ النَّبِىَّ الۡاُمِّىَّ الَّذِىۡ يَجِدُوۡنَهٗ مَكۡتُوۡبًا عِنۡدَهُمۡ فِى التَّوۡرٰٮةِ وَالۡاِنۡجِيۡلِ ؗ  يَاۡمُرُهُمۡ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ وَيَنۡهٰٮهُمۡ عَنِ الۡمُنۡكَرِ وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبٰتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيۡهِمُ الۡخَبٰۤٮِٕثَ وَيَضَعُ عَنۡهُمۡ اِصۡرَهُمۡ وَالۡاَغۡلٰلَ الَّتِىۡ كَانَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ‌ ؕ فَالَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا بِهٖ وَعَزَّرُوۡهُ وَنَصَرُوۡهُ وَ اتَّبَـعُوا النُّوۡرَ الَّذِىۡۤ اُنۡزِلَ مَعَهٗ ۤ‌ ۙ اُولٰۤٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡمُفۡلِحُوۡنَ ۩۔

[Q-07:157]

             Those who follow the Messenger [Muhammad] who is the Ummi Prophet (the unlettered prophet). Which they find written in the Torah and the Gospel they have. He enjoins them to do good deeds and forbids them from doing bad deeds. And makes the pure things lawful for them and forbid the impure things for them, and remove their burdens from their heads and their yokes from their necks. So those who believes in them and supportes them and helpes them, and followes the Light [Qur’an] which revealed with them. They are the beneficiaries.

قُلۡ يٰۤاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنِّىۡ رَسُوۡلُ اللّٰهِ اِلَيۡكُمۡ جَمِيۡعَاْ ۨالَّذِىۡ لَهٗ مُلۡكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ‌ۚ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ يُحۡىٖ وَيُمِيۡتُ ࣕ‌  فَاٰمِنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوۡلِهِ النَّبِىِّ الۡاُمِّىِّ الَّذِىۡ يُؤۡمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَكَلِمٰتِهٖ وَاتَّبِعُوۡهُ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُوۡنَ‏ ۩۔

[Q-07:158]

             say it! O mankind, I am the Messenger of God to you all. Who owns the heavens and the earth. There is no god but He, He gives life and He gives death. Therefore, believe in Allah, and in His Messenger Nabi Umm [Muhammad (ﷺ)]. He who believes in Allah and all His words (Revealed Quran). Follow that prophet, that you may be guided.

Allah Almighty clearly states that Muhammad also believes in the Qur’an. And followes Him.

[Q-04:69-70]

            And those who obey Allah and His Messenger Muhammad. They [on the Day of Resurrection] will be with those on whom Allah has bestowed great favor. That is, Prophets and Siddiques and martyrs and righteous people. And these are good companions. (69) This will be the grace of Allah. And Allah, the All-Knowing, is Sufficient (70).

           And those who believe in Allah and His Messengers. Those are the that people. Who are Siddiq (true believers) and Shahid (witness) to their Lord.

وَمَنۡ يُّشَاقِقِ الرَّسُوۡلَ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَـهُ الۡهُدٰى وَ يَـتَّبِعۡ غَيۡرَ سَبِيۡلِ الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ نُوَلِّهٖ مَا تَوَلّٰى وَنُصۡلِهٖ جَهَـنَّمَ‌ ؕ وَسَآءَتۡ مَصِيۡرًا ۩۔

[Q-04:115]

            And whoever opposes (God’s) Messenger after knowing the path of guidance [the path of the Qur’an] and chooses paths other than the path of the believers. So, wherever he goes, we’ll let him go. And he will enter hell. And that is a very bad place (115).

اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ يُحَآدُّوۡنَ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوۡلَهٗ كُبِتُوۡا كَمَا كُبِتَ الَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمۡ‌ وَقَدۡ اَنۡزَلۡنَاۤ اٰيٰتٍۢ بَيِّنٰتٍ‌ ؕ وَ لِلۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ عَذَابٌ مُّهِيۡنٌ‌ ۚ‏ ۩۔

[Q-58:5]

             Verily, those who oppose Allah and His Messenger. Whereas We have sent down clear verses. Such people will be humiliated. Just as those who were before them were humiliated. And for the disbelievers there will be a humiliating punishment.

The Quran is the right path of Islam. 

وَالَّذِىۡ جَآءَ بِالصِّدۡقِ وَصَدَّقَ بِهٖۤ‌ اُولٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ الۡمُتَّقُوۡنَ ۩۔ لَهُمۡ مَّا يَشَآءُوۡنَ عِنۡدَ رَبِّهِمۡ‌ ؕ ذٰ لِكَ جَزٰٓؤُ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ ۚ‏ ۩۔

[Q-39:33-34]

         And [Muhammad] who brought the truth (i.e., the Qur’an). And those (people) who confirm it are the pious. (33) For them everything will be with their Lord, whatever they want. This is the reward of the righteous people. (34).   

وَاَطِيۡعُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيۡعُوا الرَّسُوۡلَ‌ۚ فَاِنۡ تَوَلَّيۡتُمۡ فَاِنَّمَا عَلٰى رَسُوۡلِنَا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ‏ ۩۔ اَللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَ‌ؕ وَعَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ۩۔

[Q-64:12-13]

           And obey Allah’s order (i.e., the Qur’an) and obey the Messenger’s order (i.e., the Qur’an), then if you turn away. So, know! (12) Allah is the only God, besides whom there is no god. And the believers should put their trust in Allah. (13).

يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اَطِيۡعُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَطِيۡعُوا الرَّسُوۡلَ وَلَا تُبۡطِلُوۡۤا اَعۡمَالَـكُمۡ ۩۔

[Q-47:33]

             O you who believe, obey Allah and His commands (i.e., the Qur’an). And obey the commands of His Messenger (i.e., the Qur’an). And do not waste your deeds (33).

اِنَّ هٰذِهٖ تَذۡكِرَةٌ ‌ ۚ فَمَنۡ شَآءَ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰى رَبِّهٖ سَبِيۡلًا ۩۔

[Q-73:19].

             Indeed, this (Qur’an) is a reminder. So, whatever he wants make a way to your Lord by this Quran. (19).

وَالَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَاٰمَنُوۡا بِمَا نُزِّلَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّهُوَ الۡحَقُّ مِنۡ رَّبِّهِمۡ‌ۙ كَفَّرَ عَنۡهُمۡ سَيِّاٰتِهِمۡ وَاَصۡلَحَ بَالَهُمۡ‏ ۩۔

[Q-47:2]

            Those who believed and did good deeds. And they believed in what (the Book) was revealed to Muhammad (ﷺ), which is the truth from their Lord. So, He will remove their sins from them (people), and He will also correct their condition (2). 

           فَاٰمِنُوۡا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوۡلِهٖ وَالنُّوۡرِ الَّذِىۡۤ اَنۡزَلۡنَا‌ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُوۡنَ خَبِيۡرٌ ۩۔ يَوۡمَ يَجۡمَعُكُمۡ لِيَوۡمِ الۡجَمۡعِ‌ ذٰ لِكَ يَوۡمُ التَّغَابُنِ‌ ؕ وَمَنۡ يُّؤۡمِنۡۢ بِاللّٰهِ وَيَعۡمَلۡ صَالِحًـا يُّكَفِّرۡ عَنۡهُ سَيِّاٰتِهٖ وَيُدۡخِلۡهُ جَنّٰتٍ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَاۤ اَبَدًا‌ ؕ ذٰ لِكَ الۡفَوۡزُ الۡعَظِیْمُ ۩۔

[Q-64:8-9]

            So, believe in Allah and His Messenger and in this light (i.e., the Qur’an) which We have sent down (to the Prophet). And Allah is Ever Aware of what you do. (8) On the day of gathering you will be gathered. It is a day of reckoning, and whoever believes in Allah and does good deeds, (on the Day of Judgment) Allah will remove his sins from him, and will admit him to Paradise beneath which rivers flow. These people will always be in it, this is a great success (9).

  اِنَّاۤ اَنۡزَلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ الۡكِتٰبَ لِلنَّاسِ بِالۡحَقِّ‌ ۚ فَمَنِ اهۡتَدٰى فَلِنَفۡسِهٖ‌ ۚ وَمَنۡ ضَلَّ فَاِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيۡهَا‌ ۚ وَمَاۤ اَنۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ بِوَكِيۡلٍ ۩۔

[Q-39:41]

             Verily, we have sent down this Book upon you for people with truth. Then he who came on guidance, so, for himself. And whoever went astray, he also went astray for his own evil. And you are not responsible (lawyer) for them (41).

نَحۡنُ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ‌ وَمَاۤ اَنۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ بِجَـبَّارٍ  ࣞ‌ فَذَكِّرۡ بِالۡقُرۡاٰنِ مَنۡ يَّخَافُ وَعِيۡدِ ۩۔

[Q-50:45]

             We know what they say. And you have no right to force them. You should only advise those from the Qur’an, who fears My punishment (45).           

*******************

Allah commands the Prophet to defend himself.

قُلۡ سُبۡحَانَ رَبِّىۡ هَلۡ كُنۡتُ اِلَّا بَشَرًا رَّسُوۡلًا ۩۔ وَمَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ اَنۡ يُّؤۡمِنُوۡۤا اِذۡ جَآءَهُمُ الۡهُدٰٓى اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ قَالُـوۡۤا اَبَعَثَ اللّٰهُ بَشَرًا رَّسُوۡلًا ۩۔ قُلْ لَّوۡ كَانَ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ مَلٰۤٮِٕكَةٌ يَّمۡشُوۡنَ مُطۡمَٮِٕنِّيۡنَ لَـنَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ مَلَـكًا رَّسُوۡلًا ۩۔

[Q-17:93-95]

            Say, “Glory be to my Lord, I am only a human messenger. (93). And what has prevented the people from believing, while the key of guidance (the Qur’an) has come to them. They said, Has Allah sent a man as a Messenger? (94) say it! If the angels were walking on the earth with peace. So surely, we send upon them an angel from heaven as a messenger (95)

وَاَنۡ اَتۡلُوَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ‌ۚ فَمَنِ اهۡتَدٰى فَاِنَّمَا يَهۡتَدِىۡ لِنَفۡسِهٖ‌ۚ وَمَنۡ ضَلَّ فَقُلۡ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنَا مِنَ الۡمُنۡذِرِيۡنَ ۩۔

[Q-27:92]

              And say Read the Quran. So whoever takes the right path, he takes it for his own benefit. And whoever goes astray, say that! I am only a giver of advice (92).

فَاِنَّكَ لَا تُسۡمِعُ الۡمَوۡتٰى وَلَا تُسۡمِعُ الصُّمَّ الدُّعَآءَ اِذَا وَلَّوۡا مُدۡبِرِيۡنَ‏ ۩۔ وَمَاۤ اَنۡتَ بِهٰدِ الۡعُمۡىِ عَنۡ ضَلٰلَتِهِمۡ‌ؕ اِنۡ تُسۡمِعُ اِلَّا مَنۡ يُّؤۡمِنُ بِاٰيٰتِنَا فَهُمۡ مُّسۡلِمُوۡنَ ۩۔

[Q-30:52-53]

            Indeed, you (pbuh) cannot make your voice heard by the dead, nor by the deaf, who turn their backs and go away (52). And you cannot guide the blind when they go astray. You can guide only to those who believe in Our verses. So only they are Muslims (53).
