History

This Surah was revealed during the time when the Son of Holy prophet Muhammad died and his enemies were hurting him by such words, O Muhammad your generation is disclosed no one will carry your message. Then In regards to Condolence Allah SWT send this Kauthar as a condolence to Prophet Muhammad.

Explanation

This Surah was revealed in Madinah. It contains 3 Verse and 10 words. The most important point is this surah: “Al Kauthar ". What is Al Kauthar?

It is narrated from Anas bin Malik once Holy prophet Muhammad S.a.a.w is smiling in front of a companion then the Sahaba asked to Beloved Prophet Muhammad Oh Ya Rasool Allah S.a.a.w my Ancestors be sacrificed on you why you are Smiling?? Oh, beloved prophet Muhammad then He answered today a Surah reveal on me named Al Kauthar oh my companion I will tell you.

What is Al Kauthar?

A canal In Heaven is known as Al Kauthar it's not an ordinary canal like the canal of the world its pool has endless water and the most beautiful canal of Heaven. It is narrated from Imam Ahmed bin Hanbal on behalf of Anas bin Malik Ra that the Holy prophet stated that the banks of this canal are domes of pearls and its smell is like Musk. In Sunan nasai or Abu Dawood it is explained that the color of these canals are more bright and white than the milk of this ordinary world and the taste of this canal is sweeter than Honey.

Another aspect of Kauthar is that many Scholars stated that it's a reward or dynasty given to beloved Prophet Muhammad from His Lord that on the day of judgment he will be the one who will distribute this water among their ummah, He will be the one who has shifaat e kubra (Great Intercession) for his ummah. This is another aspect of Al Kauthar that in this verse Allah SWT shows that how much my beloved Prophet is courteous and how much I love him Subhan Allah. So, turn in prayer to your Lord and Sacrifice, in second verse Allah SWT state that turn to your Lord prostate yourself toward your lord if you pray toward Him.

He will be awarded you with All Kauthar and give you reward as the reward is given to prophets. Allah SWT stressed out and also sacrifice what sacrifice mean? Allah SWT definitely test you believe, your assets your health, your life, your power Allah definitely wants sacrifice from you as a devoter we will try to sacrifice our best thing toward Allah Almighty as Lord selects us to test us. In my opinion, we can connect ourselves toward Almighty in a better way. When we will donate something like Sadqa on the name of Allah Almighty it makes us happy on this deed of his man Allah SWT feel proud in front of Angels and ask angels to pray for him. Allah SWT nor taken leave of you. He will support you when everyone leaves.

Even in darkness or in the light He will help you. In the third verse, Allah (SWT) also defines the dignity and dynasty of Muhammad (PBUH), He Said whoever is your enemy he is derived from any goodness. This verse from Jews like Abu Jahil, Abu Lahab, and other Mushrikeen those are the enemies of Muhammad (PBUH) because they had used every way illegal way to defame Islam or attack on Muhammad (PBUH) may Allah (SWT) show us the right path. May Allah give us the strength to follow the actual Shariah of Muhammad (PBUH) and shower all blessings on Muslim ummah.
