some verses, and his ascension (MiꜤrāj) is described in others. The Prophet’s compassion and mercy towards believers is also highlighted, and Allah has declared that the measure of His love is following His Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. In short, the entire Quran is the Naʿat (ode) of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.

Consider Surah al-Ḍuḥā itself; the entire Surah is devoted to the praise of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
