Quran states that the Prophet Muhammad is not like any other men, and that he has a higher status than them. He is described as being the seal of the prophets, which means that he is the last prophet and the final messenger of God. The verse emphasizes the importance of following and obeying him, and that his words and actions should be taken as guidance for all believers.
Here is the translation and explanation of Quran 33:51:
"O Prophet, indeed We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have given their due compensation and those your right hand possesses from what Allah has returned to you [of captives] and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you and a believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet [and] if the Prophet wishes to marry her, [this is] only for you, excluding the [other] believers. We certainly know what We have made obligatory upon them concerning their wives and those their right hands possess, [but this is for you] in order that there will be upon you no discomfort. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful."
This verse refers to the permission given to Prophet Muhammad to marry certain women who were prohibited for other Muslim men to marry. These women were:
- Wives who he had married and given their dowry (compensation).
- Female slaves who he had acquired as a result of war.
- Women who were related to him by blood (daughters of his paternal and maternal uncles and aunts).
- Believing women who offered themselves to the Prophet in marriage.
This permission was granted only to Prophet Muhammad and not to other Muslim men, as Allah knew what was best for the believers and did not want to cause any discomfort or hardship. It is important to note that this permission was granted in a specific historical context and should not be generalized to other circumstances or times.
