Muhammad (PBUH)

Name of the last messenger of Allah (SWT) Muhammed (PBH) was brought up as an orphan 93:6. Before the Holy Quran was revealed to him by Allah (SWT) through the Spirit Jibriil (PBH) 26:192-196, he had not known reading and writing, had he known then people would have thought that he was the author of the Quran 29:48 He had no knowledge of the Divine law and belief (Imaan), Allah (SWT) taught him these things through the holy Quran 42:52 He was a human being 10:2, 18:110. His prophethood was announced through earlier Divine books and messengers of Allah (SWT) 3:81, 7:157, 61:6. He had not expected that he would be chosen as a messenger of Allah (SWT) and that the Quran would be revealed to him 28:86. He was not a sooth sayer, not under the influence of any Jinn or magic 52:29, 25:8 and 9.
He was neither a poet 36:69 nor one who forged a lie 42:24. We have to accept him as the last messenger of Allah 4:170, 7:158, 48:29 and the last in the series of all the messengers of Allah (SWT) 33:40. Further we are to regard him as a model to be copied, obeying all his orders 33:21 and 71. His duty was just to communicate the message of Allah (SWT) 3:20, 4:80, 13:40. He was not given the power to guide whom he liked but Allah (SWT) guides through him, whom He wills 28:56, He was asked by Allah (SWT) to announce that he did not have knowledge of the unseen and did not have power to 266 benefit or harm even himself 6:50, 72:21. He was instructed to propagate Islam through the Quran 50:45.
He was softhearted towards the believers being desirous for their good, full of pity and mercy 3:159, 9:128. He conveyed to the believers the good news of enjoyment in paradise, warned the nonbelievers regarding the punishment in hell, invited people towards Allah (SWT) and thus served as a lamp giving light to help people come out of the darkness of ignorance towards the brightness of Islam and he will be a witness on the day of resurrection against those who did not accept his invitation 33:45-46. He was sent for the benefit of the whole mankind till the end of the world 34:28 so as to make Islam prevail 9:33, probably in this sense he has been mentioned as Rehmat allil aalamiin, meaning ‘mercy for the worlds’ 21:107. He taught the Quran and its interpretation to his followers through his own practice 2:151. He was helped by Allah (SWT) and the angels, in his mission of propagating Islam, who also showered mercy on him 22:15, 66:4.
Believers are required to pray to Allah (SWT) for showering His mercy and peace on him 33:56 and he is to be regarded, by the believers, closerer than their ownselves 33:6. When Allah (SWT) and His messenger (PBH) have given a decision in any affair, it does not befit a believer to exercise his own choice 33:36. People will not be considered believers if they do not go by his judgment in their disputes 4:65. The duty of Muslims is to implement the Quran in their lives as Muhammed (PBH) had taught them 3:31, 4:59 4:80, 33:71.
Some of the owners of other Divine books recognized him still they did not accept him as the messenger of Allah (SWT) 2:146, 5:15. His opponents will be made to enter hell 4:115. He was asked to ignore the infidels leaving them to do what they wished to 10:41, 13:43. There are two miraculous events associated with him which are reported in the Quran : splitting of the moon 54:1-2, and his journey from Mecca to Jerusalem in one night 17:1. On the day of resurrection he will complain against his people that they had forsaken the Quran i.e. they had not implemented it in their lives 25:30. He will be a witness over people here and the hereafter 2:143, 73:15, 16:89. He will be raised to Muqaam Mahmooda ‘The praised position Insha Allah 17:79.

Marriage

And do not marry polytheistic women until they believe. And a believing slave woman is better than a polytheist, even though she might please you. And do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you. Those invite [you] to the Fire, but Allah invites to Paradise and to forgiveness, by His permission. And He makes clear His verses to the people that perhaps they may remember. [2:221]

And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of [other] women, two or three or four. But if you fear that you will not be just, then [marry only] one or those your right hand possesses. That is more suitable that you may not incline [to injustice]. And give the women [upon marriage] their [bridal] gifts graciously. But if they give up willingly to you anything of it, then take it in satisfaction and ease. [4:3-4]

And do not marry those [women] whom your fathers married, except what has already occurred. Indeed, it was an immorality and hateful [to Allah ] and was evil as a way. Prohibited to you [for marriage] are your mothers, your daughters, your sisters, your father's sisters, your mother's sisters, your brother's daughters, your sister's daughters, your [milk] mothers who nursed you, your sisters through nursing, your wives' mothers, and your step-daughters under your guardianship [born] of your wives unto whom you have gone in. But if you have not gone in unto them, there is no sin upon you. And [also prohibited are] the wives of your sons who are from your [own] loins, and that you take [in marriage] two sisters simultaneously, except for what has already occurred. Indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful. And [also prohibited to you are all] married women except those your right hands possess. [This is] the decree of Allah upon you. And lawful to you are [all others] beyond these, [provided] that you seek them [in marriage] with [gifts from] your property, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse. So for whatever you enjoy [of marriage] from them, give them their due compensation as an obligation. And there is no blame upon you for what you mutually agree to beyond the obligation. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. [4:22-24]

And if you fear dissension between the two, send an arbitrator from his people and an arbitrator from her people. If they both desire reconciliation, Allah will cause it between them. Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Acquainted [with all things]. [4:35]

And you will never be able to be equal [in feeling] between wives, even if you should strive [to do so]. So do not incline completely [toward one] and leave another hanging. And if you amend [your affairs] and fear Allah - then indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful. [4:129]

This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you, when you have given them their due compensation, desiring chastity, not unlawful sexual intercourse or taking [secret] lovers. And whoever denies the faith - his work has become worthless, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers. [5:5]
