What has been done in this
two-sectioned study is to present and analyze the modes and features of the
Qur'ônic calls which institute, reorganize and overrule the behavioral
moulds, cognitive forms, social and communal attitudes of the prophet of
Islam, in particular; and socio-religious fabric and behavioral codes of the
Early Islamic Community, in general. These Qur'anic calls which are the
subject matter of this studyare order (emir), caution (ikaz), relieve (teselli),
remember (hatırlatma), threat (tehdit), advice (tavsiye), and inform (bilgilendirme).
In thisfirst seetion of this study, the four of these calls will be
presented and evaluated, the rest will be subject matter of another study. As
exercised over other messengers and apostles throughout the history of
revelation before, this Divine method categorically preserves and reinforces
the infallibility of the Prophet of Islam--save some minor mistakes-- and,
thus, of the Revelatory role model as represented in the moral expressions of
him. Hence, overriding all contrary speculations and disputes over the
Prophet being a moral and social model, these features of the prophet prove
that his practices and discourses are to be emulated and practiced as
reinstituted by the Qur'ônic calls during the Revelatory Era. Succinctly, the
Divine call reconstitutes its subject, i.e. the Prophet, via revelatory calls;
then, the prophetic traditions reconstruct the community accordingly.
