Prophet Muḥammad Praised in Al Qur’ân
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم
Praise be to God the Creator of the world, the One Who exists without beginning, without end, without location, without a "how" and Who does not depend on time. Nothing resembles Him in anyway and He hears and sees everything without organs. Whatever you imagine, God is different from that. May the elevation in degree and preservation of his community of what he fears for it, be granted to our master Muḥammad Al-‘Amin, the Honest One, who called for following Islam, the religion of truth, the religion of all the Prophets: of the First, Adam, to the last Muḥammad.

Heart of the Prophet Muḥammad
Allâh strengthened the Prophet’s heart and made the Prophet Muḥammad aware of what his heart has seen, as Sûrat An-Najm, ‘âyah 11 has mentioned.
﴿ مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَأَىٰ ﴾
