Surah Al-Kawthar
- 1. Created by: Banan Mahmaljy Obeid Surah Al-Kawthar
- 2. Background Story The Prophet (S) had 3 sons, who all died when they were very young. An evil enemy of Islam named Al-As used to mock the Prophet and say that he would be forgotten because he didn’t have any sons to carry his name. He called him ABTAR, and even the Prophet’s uncle was celebrating the death of the Prophet’s sons. Today the name “Muhammad” is the most common name IN THE WORLD, and P. Muhammad is by far the most influential man to ever live on Earth. We know more details about his life and legacy than other person in history. *****ذكرك لك ورفعنا
- 3. The Prophet (S) changed every aspect of his followers’ lives…all in 23 years!! How they think How they treat people What they say/don’t say What they love/they hate How they dress How they run their government How they do business How they take a loan How they eat How they go to the bathroom How they sleep How they get married How they get divorced There has never been a movement that changed every aspect of the people’s lives in this short amount of time. You know when you study Revolutions in World History, you learn that they take hundreds of years. And even then they affect the political realm, or the economic realm. They didn’t change the personal aspects that Islam changed.
- 4. Ayah #1 Surely we have given you Kawthar In this Surah Allah is helping the Prophet to think about what he has GAINED, instead of what he has LOST. Allah tells him, don’t worry, I have given you Kawthar- KAWTHAR is an exaggeration of KATHEER… A LOT!!! Good beyond imagination. Kawthar also refers to a river in Jenna from which every Muslim will drink and will never be thirty again. Allah has given the Prophet this honor of being the final Messenger and having the LARGEST Ummah of any Prophet before him. What is coming for him in the Akhira is so much better than what life has to offer. This is a lesson for all of us about the importance of positive thinking. Focusing on the good in our lives instead of the bad helps us feel grateful and helps improve our psychological well-being. This Surah starts with a gift, then moves to an order….
- 5. Ayah #2 So pray and sacrifice to your Lord (alone) The Prophet lost his child and was in so much pain, and Allah tells him how to remedy his heart. 1. Focus on the good-positive thinking 2. Pray: When you feel pain, connect to your Creator. When you receive a gift (blessings) you should be thankful, and the best way to be thankful is to pray. (remember the previous Surah (MAUN) mentioned those who pray in order to show-off…This Ayah is highlighting the true purpose of Salah. 3. Give to the Poor: When you sacrifice the animal, it is given to the poor. Giving charity is another way to give thanks for what you have.
- 6. Ayah #3 The one who hates you is the one who is cut off Oh Muhammad: Everyone who follows your message will be one of your children. Everyone who follows your message will follow your teachings before they follow any other teachings. They will love you more than they love their own families and friends. The words of your enemies can’t hurt you. Your enemies will forever be forgotten and you will never be forgotten.
