Allah said,

﴿ظˆظژط§ط¹ظ’ظ„ظژظ…ظڈظˆط§ظ’ ط£ظژظ†ظ‘ظژ ظپظگظٹظƒظڈظ…ظ’ ط±ظژط³ظڈظˆظ„ظژ ط§ظ„ظ„ظ‘ظژظ‡ظگ﴾

(7. And know that among you there is the Messenger of Allah.) `know that among you is the Messenger of Allah . Therefore, honor and respect him, be polite with him and obey his orders. For he is more knowledgeable about what benefits you and is more concerned with you than you yourselves are. His opinions in such matters are more complete than your own.' Allah the Exalted and Most Blessed said in another Ayah,

﴿ط§ظ„ظ†ظ‘ظژط¨ظگظ‰ظ‘ظڈ ط£ظژظˆظ’ظ„ظژظ‰ ط¨ظگط§ظ„ظ’ظ…ظڈط¤ظ’ظ…ظگظ†ظگظٹظ†ظژ ظ…ظگظ†ظ’ ط£ظژظ†ظ’ظپظڈط³ظگظ‡ظگظ…ظ’﴾

(The Prophet is closer to the believers than themselves) (33:6). Then He clarifies that they fall short in overseeing their own benefit;

﴿ظ„ظژظˆظ’ ظٹظڈط·ظگظٹط¹ظڈظƒظڈظ…ظ’ ظپظگظ‰ ظƒظژط«ظگظٹط±ظچ ظ…ظ‘ظگظ†ظژ ط§ظ„ط§ظ‘ظŒظ…ظ’ط±ظگ ظ„ظژط¹ظژظ†ظگطھظ‘ظڈظ…ظ’﴾

(If he were to obey you in much of the matter, you would surely be in trouble.) `if he obeys all of your opinions and desires, you will earn trouble and hardship.' Allah the Exalted and Most Honored said,

﴿ظˆظژظ„ظژظˆظگ ط§طھظ‘ظژط¨ظژط¹ظژ ط§ظ„ظ’ط­ظژظ‚ظ‘ظڈ ط£ظژظ‡ظ’ظˆظژط¢ط،ظژظ‡ظڈظ…ظ’ ظ„ظژظپظژط³ظژط¯ظژطھظگ ط§ظ„ط³ظ‘ظژظ…ظژظ€ظˆظژطھظڈ ظˆظژط§ظ„ط§ظ‘ظŒط±ظ’ط¶ظڈ ظˆظژظ…ظژظ† ظپظگظٹظ‡ظگظ†ظ‘ظژ ط¨ظژظ„ظ’ ط£ظژطھظژظٹظ’ظ†ظژظ€ظ‡ظڈظ…ظ’ ط¨ظگط°ظگظƒظ’ط±ظگظ‡ظگظ…ظ’ ظپظژظ‡ظڈظ…ظ’ ط¹ظژظ† ط°ظگظƒظ’ط±ظگظ‡ظگظ…ظ’ ظ…ظ‘ظڈط¹ظ’ط±ظگط¶ظڈظˆظ†ظژ ﴾

(And if the truth had been in accordance with their desires, verily, the heavens and the earth, and whosoever is therein would have been corrupted! Nay, We have brought them their reminder, but they turn away from their reminder.) (23:71) Allah's statement,

﴿ظˆظژظ„ظژظ€ظƒظگظ†ظ‘ظژ ط§ظ„ظ„ظ‘ظژظ‡ظژ ط­ظژط¨ظ‘ظژط¨ظژ ط¥ظگظ„ظژظٹظ’ظƒظڈظ…ظڈ ط§ظ„ط§ظٹظ…ظژظ€ظ†ظژ ظˆظژط²ظژظٹظ‘ظژظ†ظژظ‡ظڈ ظپظگظ‰ ظ‚ظڈظ„ظڈظˆط¨ظگظƒظڈظ…ظ’﴾

(But Allah has endeared the faith to you and has beautified it in your hearts,) `made faith dear to your souls and beautified it in your hearts.' Allah said,

﴿ظˆظژظƒظژط±ظ‘ظژظ‡ظژ ط¥ظگظ„ظژظٹظ’ظƒظڈظ…ظڈ ط§ظ„ظ’ظƒظڈظپظ’ط±ظژ ظˆظژط§ظ„ظ’ظپظڈط³ظڈظˆظ‚ظژ ظˆظژط§ظ„ظ’ط¹ظگطµظ’ظٹظژط§ظ†ظژ﴾

(and has made disbelief, Fusuq and `Isyan hateful to you.) `He has made disbelief, sins, whether major or minor, and `Isyan -- all types of sins, hateful to you.' This statement transfers us from one level to a better level, to perfect Allah's bounty. Allah's statement next,

﴿ط£ظڈظˆظ’ظ„ظژظ€ط¦ظگظƒظژ ظ‡ظڈظ…ظڈ ط§ظ„ط±ظژط´ظگط¯ظڈظˆظ†ظژ﴾

(Such are they who are the rightly guided.) those who have these qualities are the rightly guided ones whom Allah has granted guidance and correctness. Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Rifa`ah Az-Zuraqi said that his father said, "During the battle of Uhud, when the idolators retreated, the Messenger of Allah said,

(9. And if two parties among the believers fall to fighting, then make peace between them both. But if one of them outrages against the other, then fight you (all) against the one that which outrages till it complies with the command of Allah. Then if it complies, then make reconciliation between them justly, and be equitable. Verily, Allah loves those who are the equitable.) (10. The believers are but a brotherhood. So make reconciliation between your brothers, and have Taqwa of Allah that you may receive mercy.)
