The Qur'an on Obedience to Prophet Muhammad (Sal-lal-lahu-alaihi-wa-sallam)
Compiled by Nadia Arif
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful....
قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ
غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ (٣١)
Say (O Muhammad!): If you do love Allah, follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins; For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Al-e-Imran 3:31)
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ رَسُولٍ إِلا لِيُطَاعَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ (٦٤)
We sent not a Messenger but to be obeyed, in accordance with the leave of Allah.
(Al-Nisa 4:64)
فَلا وَرَبِّكَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيمَا شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لا يَجِدُوا فِي
أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَرَجًا مِمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَيُسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا (٦٥)
By the Lord! They can have no faith, until they make you (O Muhammad) judge in all disputes between them, and find in their souls no resistance against your decisions, but accept them with the fullest conviction.
(Al-Nisa 4:65)
وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَأُولَئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ
وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَئِكَ رَفِيقًا (٦٩)
Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger are in the company of those on who is the Grace of Allah, - of the Prophet, the sincere (lovers of truth), the Witnesses (who testify), and the Righteous (who do good); Ah! What a beautiful Fellowship! (Al Nisa 4:69)
مَنْ يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ
Whosoever obeys the Prophet, has indeed obeyed Allah. (Al Nisa 4:79)
وَمَنْ يُشَاقِقِ الرَّسُولَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ الْهُدَى وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ
الْمُؤْمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِ مَا تَوَلَّى وَنُصْلِهِ جَهَنَّمَ وَسَاءَتْ مَصِيرًا (١١٥)
Whosoever opposes the Prophet after the truth has become manifest unto him, and follows a way other than that of the believers. We shall let him follow that to which he has turned and shall (in the end) roast him in (the Fire of) Hell; an evil retreat.
(Al-Nisa 4:115)
إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ
وَسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيمًا (٥٦)
Allah and His Angels send blessings on the Prophet (Muhammad); O you who believe! Send blessings on him, and salute him with all respect.
(Al Ahzab 33:56)
وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِيمًا
Whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, he has indeed achieved a mighty achievement. (Al Ahzab 33:71)
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تُقَدِّمُوا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ
سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ (١) يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَرْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ فَوْقَ صَوْتِ
النَّبِيِّ وَلا تَجْهَرُوا لَهُ بِالْقَوْلِ كَجَهْرِ بَعْضِكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَنْ تَحْبَطَ أَعْمَالُكُمْ
وَأَنْتُمْ لا تَشْعُرُونَ (٢)
O you who believe! Put not yourselves forward before Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad), but fear Allah, for Allah is He who hears and knows all things. O you who believe! Raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet, nor speak aloud to him in talk, as you may speak aloud to one another, lest your deeds become vain and you do not (even) perceive (it).
(Al-Hujurat 49:1-2)
وَمَا آتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ
شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ (٧)
Whatsoever the Prophet gives you, take (it) and whatsoever he forbids you, refrain from (it); And fear Allah, for Allah is strict in punishment.
(Al-Hashr 59:7)
May Allah give us the Right Guidance to follow the teachings of our Prophet in our day to day life. Aameen.
