Who was the Messenger of Allah a mercy for? What did the Messenger of Allah bring for the common masses and all of humanity? Finally, what are the shackles that the Messenger of Allah tried to free the people from? Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei provides us with a short interpretation of the following verse of the Holy Quran. Chapter 7 (al-A’raf), Verse 157: “Those who follow (obey) the Messenger [of Allah], the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned (written) in the Torah and the Gospel with them, [and] who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them from what is wrong, and makes lawful for them the things that are pure and prohibits for them the things that are impure, and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So, those who believe in him, honor him, support him, and follow the light which has been sent down with him – those are the successful ones.” #ShortTafsir #Interpretation #Quran #Concepts #Beliefs Show Less >>
