Holy Prophet of Islam - Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa — Page 278
The Holy Prophet of Islam, Hadrat Muhammad Mustafa sa قُلْ إِنَّ صَلاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَلَمِيْنَ ) qul inna ṣalati wa nusuki wa maḥyāya wa mamātı lillahi rabbil 'alamin. Say, 'My Prayer and my sacrifice and my life and my death are all for Allāh, the. Lord of the worlds. ' (6:163). This means that the whole purpose of his life was to demonstrate the glory of God and to provide comfort for His creatures so that through his constant suffering of death they might procure life. No one should be misled by the mention of his death in the cause of God and for the good of. His creatures, into thinking that he had at any time (God forbid) contemplated destroying himself, imagining like the ignorant and the insane, that his suicide would be of benefit to others. He was entirely free from any such stupid line of thinking and was wholly opposed to it. The. Holy Qur'an considers anyone who is guilty of self destruction as a great offender, liable to severe chastisement, as it says: وَلَا تُلْقُوْا بِأَيْدِيكُم إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ sa wa la tulqu bi aidikum ilattahlukah. And cast not yourselves into ruin with your own hands. (2:196). The true meaning of the verse cited above is, that the Holy. Prophet, out of true sympathy, had devoted his life to labor for the welfare of mankind and through supplications and exhortations and enduring their persecution and by every proper and wise means had laid down his life and sacrificed his comfort in this cause; as God the Glorious has said: 278 لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُوْنُوْا مُؤْمِنِيْنَ )
