[31]. In the beginning, the believers were commanded to refrain from fighting, for they were not yet prepared nor equipped to prevail. Instead, they were instructed to engage in self-discipline — to overcome their own weaknesses through steadfast prayer and by giving the prescribed alms in obedience to Allah.
[32]. Throughout his mission, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ carried a crystal-clear sense of purpose — to guide humanity to the Straight Path. Through him, all nations of the earth were blessed, for he was the last and final Messenger of God, sent to lead people from darkness into light.
The Prophet ﷺ strove tirelessly to free people from all distractions that turned them away from devotion to Allāh. He sought to purify their hearts from confusion and inner turmoil so that they might attain the spiritual nourishment Allāh has placed throughout His creation for His devoted servants. His sacred mission was to convey the message of God, teach the Qur’an and wisdom, and guide souls toward purification — away from polytheism and every form of sin.
