Surat Al-Kawthar
A river in Paradise
َ ‫ِإنَّا أ َ ْع‬
)1( ‫َاك ْال َك ْوث َ َر‬
َ ‫ط ْين‬
• 1. Verily, We have granted you (O Muhammad
( )) Al-Kawthar (a river in Paradise);
)2( ‫ص ِل ِل َر ِب َك َوا ْن َح ْر‬
َ َ‫ف‬
• 2. Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and
sacrifice (to Him only).
)3( ‫ِإ َّن شَانِئ َ َك ُه َو ْاْل َ ْبت َ ُر‬
3. For he who makes you angry (O Muhammad
( )), - he will be cut off (from every good
thing in this world and in the Hereafter).
• Its names:
1) Surat Al-Kawther: Because it starts with a verse
contains this word.
2) Surat "‫ "إنا أعطيناك الكوثر‬This name is popular
between the salaf. Ibn Abbas
said: "Surat ‫إنا‬
‫ "أعطيناك الكوثر‬was revealed in Makkah. Also, AlBukhari in his Sahih selected this verse as an
address for one of his chapters because this Sura
Started with this verse.
• Its virtues:
• Narrated Anas ( ), "While we were with the Messenger of
Allah in the Masjid, he dozed off into a slumber. Then he
lifted his head smiling. We said, `O Messenger of Allah!
What has caused you to laugh' He said, (Verily, a Surah was
just revealed to me.) Then he recited, ( ‫ فصل‬،‫إنا أعطيناك الكوثر‬
‫لربك وانحر إن شانئك هو األبتر‬.) Then he said, (Do you all know
what is Al-Kawthar)? We said, `Allah and His Messenger
know best.' He said, (Verily, it is a river that my Lord, the
Mighty and Majestic, has promised me and it has abundant
goodness. It is a pond where my Ummah will be brought to
on the Day of Judgment. Its containers are as numerous as
the stars in the sky. Then a servant of Allah from among
them will be (prevented from it) and I will say: "O Lord!
Verily, he is from my Ummah (followers).'' Then He (Allah)
will say: "Verily, you do not know what he introduced (or
innovated) after you.)‘’
• Time of revelation:
• It is between Makkeyya and Madaneyyah, the
most probable that it has been revealed twice.
• The reason of its revelation:
• Many narrations talked about the reason:
1) Ibn Abbas ( ) narrated that ‫كعب بن اْلشرف‬
came to Makkah, then Quraish told him: you
are their master (the master of his people), do
you see this man (Mohammad) the cut off
(‫ )اْلبتر‬who claimed that he is better than us?
And we are feeding the pilgrims, watering
them and being servants for Al-Ka'bah." Then
Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf said: “You are better than
him → so this Sura was been revealed".
2) Ibn Abbas said: "‫ "العاص بن وائل‬met the
Prophet at the door of Masjid and started
talking to him till they entered the Masjid
where some people of Quraish were in. then
they asked (‫)العاص‬: ‘who was the man you
were talking to?’ He (‫ )العاص‬said: He is the cut
off (because the son of the Prophet ‫عبدهللا‬
has died.( → So this Sura was revealed.
3) Ibn Juraij said: ‘When Ibrahim (the son of
the prophet ) died, Quraish said:
“Mohammad became a cut off”, so the
Prophet was sad, then Allah revealed this
Sura as a consolation for him .
• Also there are many narrations show that the man who
said (cut off) is either: ‫أبو جهل أو أبو لهب أو عقبة بن أبي‬
‫معيط أو الوليد بن المغيرة‬
→ From all of these narrations, we can conclude that
the reason of revelation was:
That Quraish was considering the Prophet and his
followers weak, and they were mocking at his son's
death: ‫ القاسم وعبدهللا‬in Makkah or ‫ إبراهيم‬in Al-Madina.
→ Allah revealed this Sura to show them that:
-His Prophet and his followers will be victorious.
-The death of his sons is not a blemish in him.
-Any one hates him is considered a cut off, he will be
deprived from every good (no good reputation nor any
good trace).
• The theme of Surat Al-Kawther:
• The abundance of goodness has several aspects.
Allah reminded His Prophet with two graces:
1) The continual gifts upon His Prophet in this life
and in the Hereafter (Al-Kawther river is one of
the gifts).
2) Cutting off every one hated you.
Also Allah ordered His Prophet to purify the
prayers to Him and to sacrifice to Him only as a
gratefulness to Allah .
• The relation between Surat Al-Kawther and its
theme:
Allah bestowed upon His Prophet great
graces, one of them: is Al-Kawther River which
has an extension (Tank). Every one will follows
the Prophet will drink from that extension
which is the Tank (Al-Hawdh) on the day of
Judgment, and who ever refuses following him
will be deprived. Then Allah ordered His
Prophet to pray and sacrifice for His sake alone.
Then He gave the glad tiding to the Prophet
that He will cut off his enemies and help his
supporters.
• The reason of its beginning:
In Surat (Al-Ma'oon): Allah warned from
some of the bad manners and encouraged to
good manners. In Surat Al-Kawther Allah
talked about the recompense of the good and
the bad manners.
• The relation between its beginning and the
end of Surat Al-Ma'oon:
The end of Surat Al-Ma'oon ‫الذين هم عن صالتهم‬
‫ الذين هم يراؤون ويمنعون الماعون‬،‫ساهون‬. Allah
talked about some descriptions of hypocrites.
One of these descriptions is miserliness. Then
the beginning of Surat Al-Kawther: Allah the
Most Generous- gave Al-Kawther (the great
graces to His generous Prophet .)
• The relation between the beginning of Surat AlKawther and it's end:
‫ واألبتر‬،‫الكوثر‬: both are opposites. ‫ الكوثر‬is the great
gift, ‫ األبتر‬is the cut off from every thing good. It
started with the great graces from Allah upon
His Prophet in this life and in the Hereafter,
one of the graces is the river "Al-Kawther".
The end of Surat Al-Kawther: is a glad tiding to
the Prophet that his enemies will be disgraced,
and every one hates the Prophet will be
humiliated and cut off from every good.
• The relation between the Parts of this Surah
and its theme:
Allah bestowed upon His Prophet many
graces, and ordered him to purify prayers and
slaughtering the sacrificial camels to Him a
lone. Slaughtering is a kind of thanking Allah
for all the graces and it is also an act of
worship to Allah . The one who hates him
will receive His punishment.
• The relation between this Sura and Al-Ma'oon:
1) ‫أرأيت الذي يكذب بالدين‬: this is about the disbelievers who
deny the Recompense. And this is the opposite of AlKawther: ‫إنا أعطيناك الكوثر‬. This is for the believer. Also
one of the meanings of Al-Kawther is: A river in
Paradise → believing in it means: the believing in the
Last Day the recompense).
2) ‫وال يحض على طعام المسكين‬: who repulses the orphan and
stops feeding the poor because of his meanness. And
this is an opposite of ‫ =وانحر‬Slaughter the sacrificial
animal, which is an act of charity to the others.
3) ‫ الذين هم عن صالتهم ساهون الذين هم يراؤون‬، ‫فويل للمصلين‬: This is
for the hypocrites who delay their Salat from their fixed
times, and who made good deeds just to be seen →
opposite to ‫ = فصل لربك‬Urges to pray to Allah .
4) All the bad descriptions in Surat Al-Ma'oon are the
same as ‫ األبتر‬whose deeds have been cut off from
every good.
• The relation between this Sura and Surat AlKafiroon:
Surat Al-Kawther is a kind of introduction for
Surat Al-Kafiroon. When Allah gave the glad
tiding to His Prophet to encourage him to
announce the dissociation of shirk and all its
acts.
• The general explanation:
• Surat Al-Kawther, Ad-Dhuha and Ash-Sharh: are
purely directed to the Prophet . In all of them,
Allah supported him, promised him with every
thing good and the blessed end will be for him .
The fools of Quraish who used to mock at the
Prophet and scoff of him by saying that he is
‫أبتر‬, they will be cut off.
In the ignorance time, they used to boast with
the plenty of sons (boys). When they saw that the
Prophet sons died they called him (cut off), then
Allah supported his Prophet with this Sura to
clear any sadness or sorrow might come to his
heart .
• ‫ الكوثر‬: Allah said: ‫إنا‬: It is a pronoun to
emphasize that Allah alone who conferred a
great favor upon him .
• Al-Kawther: It's a term for (‫ = الكثرة‬abundance),
and it comes unlimited (the opposite to what
they abused him with (cut off). The Prophet is
surrounded with the great graces from all his
sides, for example:
- The Prophecy: This great link between The Most
Gracious Allah and His Prophet .
- Al-Qur'an: which is full of good things, its bounty
is in every Sura, verse and letter.
- The prayers of the Chiefs (angels) in the high
dwellings (heavens) upon him , and also the
prayers from all the people who mentioned his
name on the earth, with several generations till
the Day of Judgment.
- All the rewards of the good deeds that
Muslims do, he will have the same reward
because he guided them to.
- The five times Al-Athan a day announcing his
name following Allah's name.
The graces are great and unlimited upon the
Prophet . This is the general meaning of AlKawther, and also one of the meanings of AlKawther is: The river in Paradise which Allah
gave it to His Prophet .
• ‫أعطيناك‬: A verb in the past tense because Allah already
decreed it before the creation of the heavens and earth by
fifty thousand years.
• ‫فصل لربك وانحر‬: just as We have given you the abundant
goodness in this life and the Hereafter → and from that is
the river that has been described previously → then make
your obligatory and optional prayer, and your sacrifice (of
animals) solely and sincerely for your Lord. Worship Him
alone and do not associate any partner with him. And
sacrifice pronouncing His Name alone, without ascribing
any partner to Him.' This is as Allah says,
ِ
َِِّ ‫ن صَالتِي ونس ِكي ومحي اي ومماتِي‬
ِ ‫ّلِل َر‬
َ ِ‫) َال شَر‬162( ‫ين‬

(Say: "Verily, my Salah, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying
are for Allah, the Lord of all that exists. He has no partner.
And of this I have been commanded, and I am the first of
the Muslims.'') (6:162-163)(Al-An’am)
Allah guided His Prophet to thank Him for the great
graces that He gave him by purifying the acts of worships
(prayers and sacrifice) from Shirk. Sincerity is the way and
the purpose for the deeds to be accepted. Allah said: in
Surat Az-Zumar: ‫أال هلل الدين الخالص‬.
3. Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is
for Allah only.
‫إن شانئك هو األبتر‬: ‫شانئك‬: every one hates you. ‫األبتر‬: cut off, and
it’s the opposite of ‫الكوثر‬. Allah did indeed fulfill His
promise to the Prophet , every one who hates him his
fame will be cut off, and also "The Barakah" will be cut off
(no Barakah in his age, life, money, children,… and all other
aspects of his life.)
They thought in their ignorance that if his sons died, his
remembrance would be cut off. Allah forbid! To the
contrary, Allah preserved his remembrance for all the world
to see, and He obligated all the servants to follow his Law.
This will continue for all of time until the Day of Gathering
and the coming of the Hereafter.
• Lessons from Surat Al-Kawther:
1) When you walk in the way of Da'wah (Calling
to Allah ) with sincerity, you will face many
problems, you maybe offended and exposed
to harmful acts, but be sure that Allah will
never leave you, He will be with you,
Support you and guide your heart to rest. AlDa'wah to Allah with sincerity will never be
cut off. How come!!!? And it's been joined
with Allah .
2) The way of faith, guidance and light is full of
good deeds and has plenty of graces. But the
way of evil, error for guidance and Kofr is
coming to lack, deficiency and shortage. Even
if the way of evil has a long term or had deep
roots, one day it will be cut off.
3) Allah gave His Prophet lots of good deeds. AlKawther river is one of them.
Anas bin Malik ( ) narrated, the Prophet ( )
said: 'Do you know what Al-Kawthar is?' We said:
'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said: 'It
is a river that my Lord has promised me in
Paradise. Its vessels are more than the number of
the stars. My Ummah will come to me, then a
man among them will be pulled away and I will
say: "O Lord, he is one of my Ummah" and He will
say to me: 'You do not know what he did after
you were gone." (Sahih) (An-Nisa’I 905)
• Abu Dharr narrated: "I said: 'O Messenger of
Allah! What about the vessels of the Hawdh?'
He said: 'By the one in Whose Hand is my
soul! Its vessels number more than the stars
of the heavens and the planets on a clear dark
night. (They are) among the vessels of
Paradise, whoever drinks from them, he will
never be thirsty again. Its longest breadth is
the same as its length, like that which is
between "Amman to Aylah, its water is whiter
than milk and sweeter than honey.''' (Sahih). (2445.
At-Termidhi)
Thawban narrated to me from the Messenger
of Allah who said: 'My Hawd (is as large as)
from 'Adan to Amman of Al-Balqa', its water is
whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. Its
cups are as numerous as the stars, whoever
drinks one drink from it, he will never be
thirsty after that again. The first people to
arrive at it are the poor among the Muhajirin
with disheveled heads, dirty clothes, those
whom the women of favor would not marry,
nor would the doors be opened for them.'
(Sahih).
. It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said:
"When the Prophet of Allah was taken up
into Paradise" – or words to that effect – "he
was shown a river whose banks were
transparent" – or hollowed out – corundum.
The angel who was with him struck with his
hand and brought out some musk.
Muhammad said to the Angel who was with
him: "What is this?" He said: "This is AlKawthar which your Lord has given to you".
(Sahih). (Abu Dawud 4748)
Al-Hawdh: is a place where the water is
gathered, placed in the gathering land on the
Day of Resurrection. The nation of the Prophet
only will drink from it. The water of AlHawdh is coming from Al-Kawther river.
• The following Hadiths are describing the people
who will drink from Al-Hawdh.
Ka'b bin 'Ujrah narrated: "The Messenger of
Allah said to me: 'I seek refuge in Allah for you
O Ka'b bin 'Ujrah from leaders that will be after
me. Whoever comes to their doors to approve of
their lies and supports them in their oppression,
then he is not of me and I am not of him, and he
will not meet me at the Hawd. And whoever does
not come to their doors, and he does not approve
of their lies and he does not support them in
their oppression, then he is from me and I am
from him, and he will meet me at the Hawd. "
(Hasan). (At-Termidhi 614)
Zaid bin Arqam, narrated that the
Messenger of Allah said: "Indeed, I am
leaving among you, that which you hold fast
to them, you shall not Be misguided after me.
One of them is greater than the other: The
Book of Allah is a rope extended from the sky
to the earth, and my family – the people of my
house- and they shall not split until they meet
me at the Hawdh, so look at how you deal
with them after me." (Sahih). (3788. At-Termidhi)
• The Prophet ( ) said: (Do you all know what is AlKawthar)? We said, `Allah and His Messenger
know best.' He said, (Verily, it is a river that my
Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, has promised me
and it has abundant goodness. It is a pond where
my Ummah will be brought to on the Day of
Judgment. Its containers are as numerous as the
stars in the sky. Then a servant of Allah from
among them will be (prevented from it) and I will
say: "O Lord! Verily, he is from my Ummah
(followers).'' Then He (Allah) will say: "Verily, you
do not know what he introduced (or innovated)
after you.” (Muslim)
5) Allah ordered His Prophet and his nation
to perform worships to Him alone (sincerity).
6) (Strange opinions) One of the opinions about
‫وانحر‬: is to put your right hand on the left hand
in prayers, as Ali said. Other opinion is to
rise your hands in prayer.
7) Allah said: ‫ → فصل لربك وانحر‬The prayer came
before sacrifice (the same as in the Day of Eid
Al-Adha: we pray then sacrifice).
8) Most of the Suras in Al-Qur'an that talk about
graces, always followed with orders to worship
Allah as a thank to Him .
Slaughtering (sacrifice) is a kind of giving
thanks )‫ (شكر‬because it’s an act of worship.
The same as ‫ العقيقة‬after the child birth (as a
kind of Shokr).
9) Allah promised His Prophet in Surat AdDuha ‫ولسوف يعطيك ربك فترضى‬:
5. And verily, your Lord will give you (all i.e.
good) so that you shall be well-pleased.
and in Surat Al-Kawther, Allah mentioned:
what He gave him → Al-Kawther.
10) Most of the verses that talk about ‫= العطاء‬
the givings, the verse contains the special
name of Allah )‫ (الرب‬as in:
Al-Kawther

11) Allah said ‫ أعطيناك‬not ‫آتيناك‬, why?
‫اإليتاء‬: is giving something then it might be taken back as
in Surat Aal-Imran: (3:26)
)‫تؤتي الملك من تشاء وتنزع الملك ممن تشاء (آل عمران‬
You give the kingdom to whom You will, and You take
the kingdom from whom You will
But ‫ العطاء‬: is giving without taking back what you give
(for ever).
Allah said to Solomon ( ): )Saad 38:39)
‫هذا عطاؤنا ف امنن أو أمسك بغير حساب‬
"This is Our gift, so spend you or withhold, no account
will be asked."
→ Allah gave Al-Kawther river to His prophet for
ever.
12) As Al-Kawther is one of the great graces upon
the Prophet , Allah ordered him to thank Him
by Praying and sacrifice for His sake alone. The
prayer is Allah's right and performing it is the
highest grade in thanking Allah .
Sacrifice is people's right and performing it is the
highest act of charity to the people, because
Arabs used to slaughter camels as a kind of
generosity. [‫ النحر‬used for camel's type, but ‫ الذبح‬is
used for slaughtering cows and sheep].
→ The prayer and the sacrifice together → means:
That the best way to thank Allah is by
establishing Allah's right and people's right.
13) In the Qur'an: prayers always come before
charity ‫وأقيموا الصالة وآتوا الزكاة‬
The prayer is an important pillar of Islam:
- First thing that the person will be accounted
for.
- Never been cancelled even during wars,
sickness and any other critical cases.
- It's been performed at least five times a day,
but sacrifice can be performed just when the
person has money, and not frequently like
prayers.
Allah said: ‫ فصل لربك وانحر‬،‫ إنا أعطيناك الكوثر‬in the
first verse Allah talked about Himself, ‫إنا‬
‫أعطيناك‬, but in the second verse: ‫ لربك‬and He
didn't say: ‫ → فصل لنا‬this is in Arabic Language
calls ‫ االلتفات‬has a purpose: to draw the
attention of listeners.
‫فصل لربك وانحر‬: The prayer and the sacrifice are
the best acts worships, because: in the prayer
the human is being humble to his Lord in his
heart and limbs, and in Sacrifice he becomes
nearer to Him with providing money and
money is one of the most beloved thing to
human being.
‫ إن شانئك هو األبتر‬: Allah said: ‫ هو‬the pronoun is
to emphsize that this specific description (
hating the Prophet ) is a reason to be cut off.
• Ibn Taimeyah had precious words about Surat AlKawther:
‫ إن شانئك هو األبتر‬: The one who will be cut off from his
impact, family, money and so on. He will not get the
benefits from his good deeds, he will spend his life with
nothing, no supporters once he is in need, he will not
taste the sweetness of faith in his worships.
→ This is the recompense of every one hates the
Prophet , or hated what he came with, or refused to
obey him because of his vain desires. Every one
preferred disobeying him, or preferred people's talks
and books rather than Al-Qur'an and As-Sunna, or even
interpretation the Hadiths that talks about Allah's
names and attributes as he likes.
→ he will enter in the meaning of the word ‫شانئ‬
• Allah gave His Prophet the opposite of the cut off
‫ األبتر‬He gave him Al-Kawther (abundant goodness) in
this life and in the Hereafter:
• For example:
- In this life, He gave him the guidance, support, victory,
opening breast, rest, satisfaction, honor and bounties.
No one has the same delight in this life as he ha‫ي‬.
- In the Hereafter: He gave him Al-Waseelah (Station in
Paradise) and Al-Fadheelah (a rank above the rest of
creation), and send him upon araised platform (AlMaqam Al-Mahmood( he will be the first one whom
the door of Paradise will be opened to, also he will
have Lew' Al-Hamd and the Hawdh… etc).
- The followers of Sunna dye but they still have a
continuous fame as far as they grasped Al-Qur'an and
Al-Sunna, but the people of innovation dye and their
fame will die with them ‫إن شانئك هو األبتر‬.
‫فصل لربك وانحر‬: The Prophet did what Allah
ordered him to do, he was praying and giving
sacrifice more, he was praying till his feet
became cracked, and in the Farewell he
slaughtered 63 she-camels, and he was
slaughtering also in Eids and in different
occasions.
• Some examples about people hated the
Prophet :
1) ‫ عتبة بن أبي لهب‬was abusing the Prophet so
the Prophet said: "O Allah, empower one of
the dogs on him". When Otbah went to AshSham with convoy, they had a rest in their
way, and Otbah said: I am afraid from the
invocation of Mohammad. The people with
him said: No don't be afraid, then they put
their luggage around him and they were
guarding him. Then a lion came and took him.
2) Abu Lahab also was abusing the Prophet
when he died, he was left without being
buried for three days, because an infections
disease appeared, and Quraish was afraid
from it. So they sprinkled water on him, pulled
him and threw him behind the wall.
3) Narrated 'Amr bin Maimun: 'Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) said, "While Allah's
Messenger was offering Salat (prayer) near the Ka'bah, there were
some Quraish people sitting in a gathering. One of them said, Don't you
see this Mura'ey (the one who does deeds just to show off)? Who
amongst you can go and bring the dung, blood and the abdominal
contents (intestines, etc.) of the slaughtered camels of the family of soand –so and then wait till he prostrates and put that in between his
shoulders?' The most wretched amongst them (Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait)
went (and brought them) and when Allah's Messenger prostrated, he
put them between his shoulders. The prophet remained in
prostration and they laughed so-much-so that they fell on each other. A
passer by went to Fatima (the daughter of the Prophet ), who was a
young girl in those days. She came running and the Prophet was still
in prostration. She removed them (the abdominal contents of the
camel) and cursed at the Quraish on their faces. When Allah's
Messenger completed his prayer, he said, "O Allah! Destroy the
(infideis of Quraish.' He said so thrice and added, 'O Allah! Destroy
'Amr bin Hisham, 'Utba bin Rabi'a, Shaiba bin Rabi'a, Al-Walid bin
'Utba, Umaiyya bin Khalaf, 'Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait and 'Umara bin AlWalid'."
• 'Abdullah added, "By Allah! I saw all of them dead in the battlefield on
the Day of Badr, and they were dragged and thrown in the Qalib (a well)
at Badr. Allah's Messenger then said, 'Allah's Curse has descended
upon the people of the Qulib". ( Al-Bukhari 520)
4) Narrated Anas : There was a Christian who embraced
Islam and read Surat Al-Baqarah and Al-Imran, and he used
to write (the revelations) for the Prophet . Later on he
reverted to Christianity again, and he used to say:
"Muhammad knows nothing but what I have written for
him." Then Allah caused him to die, and the people buried
him, but in the morning they saw that the earth had
thrown his body out. They said, "This is the act of
Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of
our companion and took his body out of it because he had
run away from them." They again dug the grave deeply for
him (and buried him), but in the morning they again saw
that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is
an act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the
grave of our companion and threw his body outside it, for
he had run away from them." They dug the grave for him as
deep as they could (and buried him). But in the morning
they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. So
they believed that what had befallen him was not done by
human beings and had to leave him thrown (on the
ground). (Al-Bukhari 3617).
5) A man used to abuse the Prophet by signals
so the Prophet invoked on him till he died.
The stories are more than we can count them
here.
