The Prophet Muhammad’s Integrity: A Testimony to His Divine Message

ALLĀH’s Guarantee of the Prophet’s Truthfulness and the Consequences of Fabrication

IF THE PROPHET (ﷺ) HAD FORGED ANYTHING AGAINST ALLĀH, THEN ALLĀH WOULD HAVE PUNISHED HIM

ALLĀH declares HIS Messenger (ﷺ) to be above what his enemies accused him of, when they said that he was a poet or a soothsayer. What made them say that was their lack of faith and their failure to pay heed. If they had believed and paid heed, they would have known what would benefit them and what would harm them.

If they had looked at the situation of Muhammad (ﷺ) and reflected upon his attributes and attitude, they would have seen something that was as clear as day, that would have led them to the conclusion that he was indeed the Messenger of ALLĀH, and that what he brought was revelation from the Lord of the worlds, and it was not appropriate to attribute it to any human being. For it is words that are indicative of the greatness of the One Who uttered them, and the majestic nature of HIS attributes, HIS perfect care for HIS slaves, and HIS sublime superiority over HIS slaves. Moreover, this thinking on their part was not befitting to ALLĀH and HIS wisdom.

وَلَوۡ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيۡنَا بَعۡضَ ٱلۡأَقَاوِيلِ لَأَخَذۡنَا مِنۡهُ بِٱلۡيَمِينِ ثُمَّ لَقَطَعۡنَا مِنۡهُ ٱلۡوَتِينَ
Had the Messenger made up something in OUR Name, WE would have certainly seized him by his right hand, then WE would have cut from him the aorta.

which is an artery that is connected to the heart; if it is severed, the individual will die.

Assuming – ALLĀH forbid – that the Messenger (ﷺ) had fabricated something and falsely attributed it to ALLĀH, ALLĀH would have hastened to punish him and seize him with the vehement grip of One Who is Almighty, Omnipotent, for HE is Most Wise and has power over all things.

And HIS wisdom dictates that HE should not delay the punishment of one who tells lies about HIM, and claims that he and his followers are the saved and that those who disagree with him are doomed.

The fact that ALLĀH supported HIS Messenger (ﷺ) with miracles and proved the truthfulness of the message he brought with clear signs, granted him victory over his enemies and caused him to prevail over them is the greatest testimony from HIM in support of HIS message.
