Transliteration:( Ulaaa'ikal lazeena hadal laahu fabihudaahumuq tadih; qul laaa as'alukum 'alaihi ajran in huwa illaa zikraa lil 'aalameen )
"These are the ones whom Allah has guided, so follow their guidance [181]. Say (O Beloved Prophet): 'I ask you no wage for it (the Quran) [182]. It is nothing but a reminder for the entire world' [183]."
The command “follow their guidance” refers to the qualities of previous Prophets, which are all perfectly embodied in the Holy Prophet ﷺ. It does not imply obedience to other Prophets, as they are all subordinate to him. This verse signifies that the excellencies shown by earlier Prophets were fully present in Rasulullah ﷺ, the leader of all Prophets.
The Prophet ﷺ proclaims that he seeks no reward or payment for delivering the Qur’an. His mission is a gift, not a transaction. Just as Allah gives without asking, the Prophet ﷺ reflects this generosity. No service or favor can ever equal the Prophet’s status, as he gives without taking, and only Allah can reward him appropriately.
Two key points arise here:
A true Prophet never lives off Prophethood, but works and provides for others. In contrast, false claimants like Mirza Qadiyani used religion for personal gain.
The Holy Prophet ﷺ is a Messenger for all creation—humans, jinn, angels, animals, and beyond. The Qur’an is a universal reminder, and those who have Allah as Lord must accept Muhammad ﷺ as their Prophet.
