Surely, you (Prophet Muhammad) are of a great morality ..."
Koran Chapter 68 verses 1 - 4
There was to be an interval of approximately ten days between these last verses and the
sending down of the next, whereupon the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) became
concerned. Lady Khadijah tried her best to console and reassure him, but now that
Warakah had passed away there was no one else except her to turn to. Then, the much
awaited Revelation resumed once more and again it contained a Divine Oath that laid to
rest his concern and comforted both his heart and soul.
It was in this Revelation that he received the order to preach and to tell of the favors of
his Lord.
"By the mid-morning, and by the night when it covers,
your Lord has not forsaken you (Prophet Muhammad),
nor does He hate you.
The Last shall be better for you than the First.
