Allah tells His Prophet "And We sent down to you the Remembrance so that you can make clear to the people what has been sent down to them, in order that they reflect" (16:44). And, "We did not send you (Prophet Muhammad) for all mankind except to bring them glad tidings and to warn" (34:28). And, "Say: 'O mankind, I am the Messenger of Allah to you all'" (7:158).
These are just some of the Prophet's specialties. Allah says, "We have sent no Messenger except in the tongue of his own nation" (14:4). This verse specifies the messengers own individual, specific nation whereas He sent Prophet Muhammad for all nations, because the Prophet said, "I was sent for all races, the fair and the dark." (Shaykh Darwish commented:
Thereafter, the message spread over frontiers, in which other languages are spoken. These nations examined the veracity of the Prophet and many converted, then learned the Arabic language, and this is the realization of the Prophet's saying, "I was sent for all races, the fair and the dark.)
Allah tells us, "The Prophet has a greater right on the believers than their own selves; his wives are their mothers" (33:6).
The words "has a greater right on the believers" has been explained that there is an obligation upon all believers to obey his orders in the same way that a servant must obey the order of his master. Being obedient to the Prophet’s order is far better than using one's own judgment which is subject to flaws.
"His wives are their mothers" means believers must respect the wives of the Prophet as they respect their own mothers and for this reason his wives were not permitted to marry anyone after the Prophet's death – this is yet another indication of the honor in which Allah beholds him, and that his wives will be his wives in the Everlasting Life.
Allah says, "Allah has sent down to you the Book and the Wisdom… The Bounty of Allah to you is ever great" (4:113). "Is ever great" refers to his Prophethood or that which was given to him in pre-eternity.
