THE ABUSE OF QURAN Verse 103 of Sura 9 further clarifies the meaning of the words "SSALLOO" and "YUSSALLEE." In this verse, we see that the Prophet is commanded to "YUSSALLEE" for the believers, just as they are asked to do for him in verse 56 of Sura 33 (see Page 20). "Take (O Muhammad) a portion of their money for charity, in order to purify them and sanctify them, and encourage them (SSALLEE 'ALAYHIM) for your encouragement is a consolation for them. God is hearer, omniscient." (9:103). Thus, the true meaning of this expression is "encourage," and NOT "praise day and night" as those who abuse the Quran have indicated. SUMMARY 1. God and His angels encourage the believers, to take them out of darkness into the light (33:43). 2. God and His angels encourage the Prophet during his life to keep him on the right path (33:56). 3. The believers are asked to support the Prophet during his life (33:56), and the Prophet does the same for the believers (9:103).
