"And We raised high for you your fame."

00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.399
And from this elevation:

00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:42.399
Allah, the Pure, coupled his name, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, with His own in the testimony of monotheism.

00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:47.399
And this is repeated in every call to prayer and every prayer.

00:01:05.530 --> 00:01:07.590
Thirdly,

00:01:07.590 --> 00:01:13.590
Allah took a covenant from all the prophets to follow him if he were sent to them.

00:01:13.590 --> 00:01:15.590
Allah said:

00:01:15.590 --> 00:01:22.590
“When Allah made (His) covenant with the prophets, (He said): Behold that which I have given you of the Scripture and knowledge. And afterward there will come unto you a messenger, confirming that which ye possess. Ye shall believe in him and ye shall help him. He said: Do ye agree, and will ye take up My burden (which I lay upon you) in this (matter)? They answered: We agree. He said: Then bear ye witness. I will be a witness with you.” (3:81)

00:01:22.590 --> 00:01:30.590
“When Allah made (His) covenant with the prophets, (He said): Behold that which I have given you of the Scripture and knowledge. And afterward there will come unto you a messenger, confirming that which ye possess. Ye shall believe in him and ye shall help him. He said: Do ye agree, and will ye take up My burden (which I lay upon you) in this (matter)? They answered: We agree. He said: Then bear ye witness. I will be a witness with you.” (3:81)

00:01:30.590 --> 00:01:35.659
He said, "Do you affirm and accept My covenant on this?"

00:01:35.659 --> 00:01:37.659
They said, "We affirm."

00:01:37.659 --> 00:01:41.659
“When Allah made (His) covenant with the prophets, (He said): Behold that which I have given you of the Scripture and knowledge. And afterward there will come unto you a messenger, confirming that which ye possess. Ye shall believe in him and ye shall help him. He said: Do ye agree, and will ye take up My burden (which I lay upon you) in this (matter)? They answered: We agree. He said: Then bear ye witness. I will be a witness with you.” (3:81)

00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.879

And Allah alone swears by whatever He wills as He wills.

00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.199
Allah said:

00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.259

"Indeed, We will suffice you against the mockers."

00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:58.520
And Allah said:

00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.520
“O Messenger! Make known that which hath been revealed unto thee from thy Lord, for if thou do it not, thou wilt not have conveyed His message. Allah will protect thee from mankind. Lo! Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk.” (5:67)

00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.520
And other verses to this effect.
