Sūrah Al-Kawthar (Arabic: سورة الكوثر‎) (literally means "Abundance / the most abundant good", also the name of a river in Paradise {Jannah})


This is the 108th surah of the Qur'an, and the shortest.

               THEME
 The enemies of Rasoolullah sallalahu 'alyhi wa sallam thought that 

Muhammad (صل الله عليه وسلم) had been completely ruined; he had been cut off from his community, his trade was ruined, his male children who could carry on his name were dead, the message that he was preaching was accepted by only a handful of the people, he was helpless and powerless and he was facing failure and disappointment.

His enemies would rejoice over the thought that there would be no one to remember him after he has gone.
This Surah was therefore sent to console the prophet Muhammad s.a.w ( sallalahu 'alyhi wa sallam) 

 SUBJECT MATTER 
Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala said, “Verily, We have granted you Al-Kawthar.” Kawthar is a beautiful river in paradise, it's banks are gold and silver, it's bed is precious stones and pearls, whiter than snow and sweeter than honey. Reported in Tirmidhi and Ahmed.
 Allah has favored you with unbounded good and countless deeds.
This included the matchless moral qualities of the Prophet, the Prophethood, the Quran and his knowledge and wisdom. His message spread throughout the world and alhamdulillah still continues to reach far and wide.
Then, contrary to the polytheistic practice, Allah reminds that your prayer is only for Allah and your sacrifice also is for Him alone.
 Finally Allah says, indeed he who hates you, O Muhammad, and he hates what you have come with of guidance, truth, clear proof and manifest light, he is the most cut off, meanest, lowliest person who will not be remembered.

Lessons we learn 
●Follow the teachings of the beloved Prophet (saw). The only inheritance that he left is not just wealth of property but the Knowledge of Quran and deen.
●Allah has blessed us with many bounties which we overlook, so let us learn to be sincerely thankful for everything.
●Let us always refresh our intentions that whatever good deed we do (prayer or sacrifice), is only for sake of Allah  alone. ( not to show off or for people to praise instead).
●Do not cut off yourself from remembrance of Allah by ignoring or neglecting obligatory acts.
