Muhammad - emphasizing the importance of obedience of Allah, according to the Quran

The above verses from the Quran highlight the importance of following the guidance of Allah and the Prophet Muhammad. In Surah Al-Ahzab 33:37, Allah praises the Prophet and commands his followers to send blessings upon him. Surah At-Tahrim 66:1 warns against displeasing Allah and the Prophet, emphasizing the importance of obedience to their commands.

In Surah Al-Qiyamah 75:16-19 and Surah Abasa 80:1-10, Allah reminds humanity of their origin and their ultimate return to Him. These verses emphasize the importance of following the guidance of the Prophet Muhammad and accepting the message of the Quran in order to attain success in the Hereafter.


Here are the translations and explanations for the Quranic verses you mentioned:

Quran 33:37

"And [remember, O Muhammad], when you said to the one on whom Allah bestowed favor and you bestowed favor, "Keep your wife and fear Allah," while you concealed within yourself that which Allah is to disclose. And you feared the people, while Allah has more right that you fear Him. So when Zayd had no longer any need for her, We married her to you in order that there not be upon the believers any discomfort concerning the wives of their adopted sons when they no longer have need of them. And ever is the command of Allah accomplished." This verse refers to the Prophet Muhammad's marriage to his cousin Zaynab bint Jahsh, who was previously married to Zayd ibn Harithah, a former slave who was adopted as the Prophet's son. Zaynab and Zayd's marriage was not a happy one, and eventually Zayd divorced her. The Prophet was hesitant to marry Zaynab due to social norms at the time, but he received a revelation from Allah commanding him to do so. This verse explains the circumstances of their marriage and clarifies that it was in accordance with Allah's command.

Quran 66:1

"O Prophet, why do you prohibit [yourself from] what Allah has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." This verse refers to an incident where the Prophet Muhammad abstained from consuming honey due to the concerns of his wives. Allah reveals to him that he should not forbid himself from something that is lawful, and that Allah is forgiving and merciful.

Quran 75:16-19

"Move not your tongue with it, [O Muhammad], to hasten with recitation of the Qur'an. Indeed, upon Us is its collection [in your heart] and [to make possible] its recitation. So when We have recited it [through Gabriel], then follow its recitation. Then upon Us is its clarification [to you]." This verse is a command to the Prophet Muhammad to recite the Quran at a measured pace, without rushing or stumbling over the words. It also emphasizes that the responsibility of collecting and preserving the Quran lies with Allah, and that the Prophet's role is to recite and follow it.

Quran 80:1-10

"He frowned and turned away because the blind man came to him [interrupting]. But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him? As for he who thinks himself without need, to him you give attention. And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified. But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge] and fearful [of Allah], of him you were distracted. No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder; So whoever wills may remember it. [It is recorded] in honored sheets, Exalted and purified." This verse refers to an incident where the Prophet Muhammad was conversing with some influential people when a blind man interrupted him, asking for guidance. The Prophet frowned and turned away from the blind man, causing Allah to rebuke him for his behavior. The verses emphasize the importance of giving attention to those who seek knowledge and guidance, regardless of their social status, and that the Quran is a reminder for all who are willing to remember. The last sentence may also be a reference to the preserved tablets in heaven on which the Quran is written.
