How to preaching the Prophet Muhammad in the Qur’an: CLOSE, CARE, AND CARE

Every verse about the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam is a lesson about true love and concern. In just one verse, Allah perpetuated how the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam So close, care, and loving to his people. Not only inviting the truth, but also bearing their suffering. This is the face of the preaching that should be: full of empathy, not just instructions.

The Apostle of your own people: love, attention, and suffering that he feels

Allah Story said,

{A messenger has come to you from your soul, love him, what you like with people -believers, the most compassionate.

“Indeed, it has come to you a messenger of your own people; It is very hard to feel your suffering, (he) really wants (faith and salvation) for you, guiding and loving people.“(QS. At-Taubah: 128)

This verse became a strong argument for the recognition that Muhammad was the Messenger of Allah, the messenger of Allah. In this verse, Allah mentioned that He had bestowed great favors to this people by sending an apostle who came from their own circles. They know honesty, nasab, and morals. They could sit with him, hearing his words, because he was not a strange figure to them.

The Word of God {عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ} shows that the Prophet really felt the weight of the burden that befell his people. The word “العَنَت” means difficulty and difficulty. So, all forms of difficulties experienced by this people are a heavy burden for him. This is because he was sent to bring a straight and easy religion, namely Hanifiyyah Samhah.

In one event, when the Prophet ﷺ read the verse,

{And to God for the pilgrimage of the house, anyone who can find a way.}

“Doing Hajj is a human obligation to God, namely (for) people who are able to travel to Baitullah.“(Surah āli ‘Imrān: 97)

One of the friends, Al-Aqra ‘bin, asked: “What is it every year, O God of God’s messenger?” But he was silent. This silence is a form of love for people, because he said: “If I say ‘yes’, it will be mandatory every year.” And this will bring great difficulties to people. Therefore, God makes a pilgrimage only for a lifetime for those who are able to buy it.

Back to God’s Word,

{He is saved to you}

Namely the Prophet really wanted to save this people from error and hell.

{With believers, the most loving

This means that love and softness are dedicated to believers. However, his efforts to convey guidance including all humanity. Anyone who wants to have guidance, he will get it. Anyone who is required to remain wrong, then he will remain misguided.

Even the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam Really want the Islamic uncle, Abu Talib. But because of other God’s will, Abu Talib still died in disbelief. God’s Word:

{You don’t guide people who love you, but God guides anyone he wants}

“In fact, you will not be able to guide the people you love, but God gives guidance to whom he will do it.” (Surah Al-Qassas: 56)

Three important attributes of the Prophet Sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam in the sermon

The word of God:

{A messenger has come to you from yourself}

“Indeed, it has come to you a messenger of your own people …”

Nature 1: close and close

– This is appropriate. The phrase “من أنفسكم” shows that the Prophet came from their own group – not foreign. This confirms personal, social, and emotional closeness between the prophet and his people.

{Dear Ali, what do you have

“The weight of your suffering …”

Nature 2: Caring and Sensitive

– Very suitable. “ʿAzīz ʿalayhi mā ʿanittum” means: he feels heavy and difficult if his people experience difficulties. This is the peak of empathy and caring.

{He is interested in you with people -believers, the most loving.}

“(He) really wants (faith and safety) for you, guiding and caring for believers.”

Character 3: unconditional love

– This part is the most firmly emphasizes the love of the Prophet ﷺ, especially to the believer. The word “حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ” shows his strong desire for the safety of the people, and “رَؤُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ” is a very deep and consistent nature.

Example for parents’ education in children

1. Near and close

{A messenger comes from you}

Application to parents:

Parents should not only “manage from above”, but are present in children’s lives, becoming familiar figures, can be spoken to, and trusted.

The child feels: “Father and Mother are part of me, not just a rule guard.”

2. Care and Sensitive

{Dear Ali, what do you have

Application to parents:

Children need parents who can feel the difficulty, not just asking or demanding. Parents who are sensitive to know when children are tired, disappointed, or stressed – and are not just angry when the child is “problematic”.

The child feels: “My parents understand my feelings.”

3. Unconditional Love

{He is interested in you with people -believers, the most loving.}

Application to parents:

Parents’ love do not be conditioned good grades or perfect behavior. Like the Prophet ﷺ, affection still flows even though his people are not ideal. Parents also have to love their children despite failing, wrong, or are falling.

The child feels: “I’m loved not because I’m perfect.”

Cover

Indeed, this verse is not only a reflection of the Prophet’s privacy, but also forever for anyone who wants to preach, educate, or lead. If he really cares and cares, how can we deal with him in a rough and forced way? So, let’s start from ourselves – learn to preach like the Prophet: with closeness, empathy, and affection. May Allah help us to embrace His morals in every aspect of life, so that we are truly worthy of being called His people.
