Surah Al-Kawthar (الكوثر)
The Abundance · Meccan · 3 ayahs · Juz 30
- 108:1
إِنَّآ أَعْطَيْنَـٰكَ ٱلْكَوْثَرَ
Verily We have granted you (O Rasulullaah ﷺ!) abundant good. (Allaah granted Rasulullaah ﷺ Prophethood, the honour of being the best of all the Ambiyaa عليهم الصلاة والسلام, the Qur'aan, the largest Ummah, a Deen that has spread throughout the world and the high mantle of Maqaam Mahmood in the Aakhirah [see verse 79 of Surah 17]. The pond of Kowthar, to be awarded to Rasulullaah ﷺ on the Day of Qiyaamah is a part of this "abundant good". Apart from these things, there are numerous other bounties that Allaah gave exclusively to Rasulullaah ﷺ
- 108:2
فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَٱنْحَرْ
So (as a token of gratitude, you should) perform salaah for your Rabb and sacrifice (animals in His name).
- 108:3
إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ ٱلْأَبْتَرُ
Indeed it is your enemy who shall be unknown. (This verse refers to a particular enemy of Rasulullaah ﷺ who used to tell people that they should not bother with Rasulullaah ﷺ because without any male children, his lineage and religion will not continue after him. However, the name and message of Rasulullaah ﷺ is alive even today and always gaining more popularity, whereas the names of his enemies are disgraced.)
