An-Najm 53:56

<h2>A Warning and Exhortation, the Order to prostrate and to be humble</h2> <p>Allah said,</p> <p>هَـذَا نَذِيرٌ</p> <p>(This is a warner) in reference to Muhammad ﷺ ,</p> <p>مِّنَ النُّذُرِ الاٍّوْلَى</p> <p>(from the warners of old.) means, just like the warners of old, he was sent as a Messenger as they were sent as Messengers.

The warner is eager to convey his knowledge of the imminence of a calamity, so that it does not befall those to whom he is a warner. As He said;</p> <p>إِنِّينَذِيرٌ لَّكُمْ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ</p> <p>(He is only a warner to you in face of a severe torment.) (34:46) And in the Hadith:</p> <p>«أَنَا النَّذِيرُ الْعُرْيَان»</p> <p>(I am the naked warner,) meaning, I was in such a hurry to warn against the evil I saw coming, …
