Surah Al-Isra 17:73

How the Prophet would have been punished if He had given in at all to the Disbelievers' Demands that He change some of the Revelation

Allah tells us how He supported His Prophet and protected him and kept him safe from the evil plots of the wicked transgressors. Allah is the One Who took care of him and helped him, and would not leave him to any of His creation. He is the One Who is His Helper, Supporter and Protector, the One Who is to help him achieve victory and make His religion prevail over those who resist him and oppose him and fight him in the east and in the west. May Allah send peace and blessings upon him until the Day of Judgement.

Dalam ayat ini dijelaskan usaha yang dilakukan kaum musyrikin Quraisy untuk menipu Nabi Muhammad saw, sehingga beliau hampir saja teperdaya, berpaling dari wahyu yang telah diterimanya dari Allah swt, dan memenuhi permintaan mereka agar mengakui tuhan-tuhan mereka. Karena perlindungan Allah, Nabi tetap bisa teguh pendiriannya dalam menyebarkan dakwah, walaupun tekanan dari orang-orang Quraisy semakin hebat.

Allah mengingatkan Rasul-Nya, kalau ia mengikuti apa yang mereka kehendaki, mereka tentu akan mengambilnya sebagai sahabat atau mengangkatnya menjadi pemimpin. Mereka juga akan menyatakan di hadapan manusia bahwa Nabi saw telah menyetujui dan mengakui agama mereka. Dengan demikian, Nabi saw akan terjauh dari petunjuk dan bimbingan Allah swt.
