The Messenger & The Reminder

 The Messenger of Allah 

قُلْ مَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ

Say, "Not I ask of you for it any payment, and not I am of the ones who pretend.
[Al-Quran 38:86]

وَمَا تَسْأَلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ

And not you ask them for it any reward. Not (is) it but a reminder to the worlds.
[Al-Quran 12:104]

The Messenger of Allah does not pretend to know everything (Q38:69-70), nor does he charge any fee for his preaching. He is simply reminding the worlds. 

The Reminder 

إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ

Not it (is) except a Reminder to the worlds.
[Al-Quran 38:87]

ذَ‌ٰلِكَ مِنْ أَنبَاءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ أَجْمَعُوا أَمْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَمْكُرُونَ

That (is) from the news (of) the unseen which We reveal to you. And not you were with them when they put together their plan while they (were) plotting.
[Al-Quran 12:102]

The story of Adam and Iblis needs to be taken on faith, for us to beware of the enmity of Satan, and understand the grave danger we are in. 

Surah Saad presents us examples of rich, powerful men. Surah Yusuf presents us with examples of plots and plans.     

Our inheritance awaits us. On the Day of Judgement, Allah will shower His Mercy on the chosen inheritors of the Gardens of Eternity, and complete His Favours upon them.
