Footnote from page 115 141 that he may warn everyone alive, and that the Word may prove true against the disbelievers. Allah guides with the truth whoever turns to Him, and the Messenger of Allah s as confronted whoever turned his back to Him until he came to Islam willingly or reluctantly. Then the Messenger of Allah s as passed away after having completed teaching the commandments of Allah, counselling his Ummah, and fulfilling the obligation that had been upon him. In the revealed Book, Allah had made this clear both to him and to the people of Islam, that: 1 َكَّنِا ٌتِّيَم َّو ْمُهَّنِا َنْوُتِّيَّم۰۰ And that: 2 َو اَم اَنْلَعَج ٍرَشَبِل ْنِّم َكِلْبَق َدْلُخْلا١ؕ ْنِٕىۡاَفَا َّتِّم ُمُهَف َنْوُدِلٰخْلا۰۰ And to the believers He said: َو اَم ٌدَّمَحُم اَّلِا ٌلْوُسَر١ۚ ْدَق ْتَلَخ ْنِم ِهِلْبَق ُلُسُّرلا١ؕ ْنِٕىۡاَفَا َتاَّم ْوَا َلِتُق ْمُتْبَلَقْنا ىٰۤلَع 3 ْمُكِباَقْعَا١ؕ َو ْنَم ْبِلَقْنَّي ىٰلَع ِهْيَبِقَع ْنَلَف َّرُضَّي َهّٰللا أًـْيَش١ؕ َو يِزْجَيَس ُهّٰللا َنْيِرِكّٰشلا۰۰ 1. Surely, you will die, and surely they too will die ( S u rah az-Zumar, 39:31). [Publisher] 2. We granted not everlasting life to any human being before you. If then you should die, shall they live here forever? ( S u rah al-Anbiy a ’, 21:35) [Publisher] 3. And Muhammad is only a Messenger. Verily, all Messengers have passed away before him. If then he die or be slain, will you turn back on your heels? And he who turns back on his heels shall not harm Allah at all.
