worship of prophet muhammad described in the holy quran
6:7:58 2019-04-29 1984

 

The Messenger of Allah (S) was the most devoted person to worship and he accorded great importance to the worship of Allah. He was very fond of ritual prayer and he remarked: The light of my eyes is in ritual prayer.

 

He performed the obligatory prayers at the earliest hour and with concentration. He also recited the supererogatory and recommended prayers. He used to rise up in the last part of the night as Almighty Allah says in Quran:

 

وَمِنَ الَّيْلِ فَتَهَجَّدْ بِهِ نَافِلَةً لَّكَ عَسَى‏ أَن يَبْعَثَكَ رَبُّكَ مَقَاماً مَّحْمُوداً

 

And during a part of the night, pray Tahajjud (the midnight prayer) beyond what is incumbent on you; maybe your Lord will raise you to a position of great glory.” (17:79)

 

The Holy Prophet (S) was always engrossed in the remembrance of God. During the blessed month of Ramadan he paid more attention to ritual prayer and worship of God. He prayed so much that his legs got swollen and finally the following verse was revealed:

 

طَه / مَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ لِتَشْقَى‏

 

Ta Ha. We have not revealed the Quran to you that you may be unsuccessful.” (20:1-2)

 

Mughira ibn Shoba says with regard to the worship of the Prophet:

 

He stood in ritual prayer at such length that his legs were swollen and he was told: Has God not forgiven your past and future sins? He replied: Should I not be a thankful servant of Allah?

 

Anas says: The Messenger of Allah (S) used to always be engrossed in the remembrance of God and he never committed any vain act.

 

Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says:

 

The Messenger of Allah (S) was in the chamber of Ummu Salma one night. Ummu Salma awoke and could not find the Holy Prophet (S) in bed. She became suspicious and arose and searched for him around the house. She found him in a corner; he was standing with his hands raised to the heavens; he was weeping and saying: O Allah, never take away from me the good sense of doing good.

 

He also said:

 

It was the habit of the Holy Prophet (S) that he used to remain in Etekaf at the Masjid during the last ten days of the month of Ramadan. A tent was pitched therein from him. He used to gather his bed and get ready for worship.

 

Abu Dharr says:

 

The Messenger of Allah (S) stood in prayer throughout the night and recited the following verse: “If Thou shouldst chastise them, then surely they are Thy servants; and if Thou shouldst forgive them, then surely Thou art the Mighty, the Wise.”
