Muhammad ﷺ, An Endless Flow of Divine Favours, A Linguistic and Rhetorical Study is conceived as a journey through the Qur’an to explore the incalculable divine favours profusely bestowed upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.   As the journey progresses, multiple favours continue to unfold, forming an endless flow of celestial gifts ranging from the highest levels of praise, elevation, protection and care to an extraordinary manifestation of divine love.

Through linguistic, textual, contextual and rhetorical analyses, the book attempts to capture, as much as possible, the constituent elements of the lofty station of the Messenger ﷺ in the divine sight. To describe this unmatched standing, the Qur’an displays a wide range of styles, linguistic and rhetorical devices, coupled with a remarkable selection of the most precise and eloquent particles, words, phrases and expressions. Beyond the literal meaning, a comprehensive linguistic and rhetorical approach is adopted throughout the book to uncover the subtle, layered and often hidden significance. It is hoped that the book will contribute to a more profound understanding of the unique moral and spiritual qualities of the Messenger ﷺ and his unparalleled standing in the sight of the Divine.

It is also hoped that this book will serve as an introduction to understanding the various stylistic modes of expression in the Qur’an, and that it will encourage the reader to reflect on and contemplate its verses, thereby delighting in the majesty of the wording, the depth of the meanings, and the beauty of the language, thus growing in love for God Almighty, for His Clear Book, and for His Trustworthy Messenger ﷺ.
