8 Preface إِنّا أَرسَلناكَ شاهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذيرًاYusuf AliWe have truly sent thee1 as a witness, as a bringer of Glad Tidings, and as a Warner:The Prophet came in order to establish Faith in God and true worship. We can view him in three capacities: (1) as a witness to help the weak if they were oppressed and check the strong if they did wrong; (2) as a giver of the Glad Tidings of God’s Grace and Mercy to those who repented and lived good lives; and (3) as one who warned sinners of the consequences of their sin.
