Some scholars say, Al-Kawthar symbolizes a river in Jannah. They are right; however, the river which is mentioned in several hadiths, is just an example of this unlimited abundance!<\/p>\n

Check out one of many of the hadiths that mention Al-Kawthar the river. Imam Ahmed recorded from Ibn `Umar that the Messenger of Allah said,<\/p>\n

\u201cAl-Kawthar is a river in Paradise whose banks are of gold and it runs over pearls. Its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey\u201d. (At-Tirmidhi)<\/p>\n

The ayah, \u201cWe have certainly given you Al-Kawthar,<\/strong>\u201d ascertains the never-ending abundance that was given to the Prophet in this life, as well as glad tidings to some of what he will be given in Paradise.<\/p>\n

Surely, when these bounties come from the Almighty, and He mentions this in His Qur\u2019an, this surely comforts the Prophet\u2019s heart. And leaves him feeling assured that he will be the winner in both lives. A divine order to the Prophet and the believers<\/p>\n

\u201cSo pray to your Lord and sacrifice to Him,\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In return for the abundant goodness and the divine refutation of the false allegations made by the polytheists, the Quran directs the Prophet to be completely and sincerely thankful to Allah.<\/p>\n

He is guided to observe all acts of worship including the obligatory prayer and sacrifice sincerely and for the sake of Allah Alone, without ascribing any partners to Him, Glory be His.<\/p>\n

As true believers in Allah, neither the Prophet nor his followers, should follow the steps of the disbelievers, in any way.<\/p>\n
