[Back to Sura 49]

*49:2 Whenever the word ``prophet'' (Nabi) is used in reference to Muhammad, it invariably refers to him during his life, not after his death. Obviously, we cannot possibly raise our voices above Muhammad's voice, now that he is dead. See also 33:56.

*49:3 Respecting the messenger helps outsiders and visitors in coming to God's message.
