108: Abundance (Al Kauthar)

When the Prophet lost his last son, an opponent who hated him taunted him with being 'cut off' without prosperity. This Meccan surah comes to reassure the Prophet and as a retort to his enemy. The word 'kauthar', abundance is also interpreted here as referring to a specific river in Paradise. 

In the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy

1 We have truly given abundance to you (Prophet) - 2 so pray to your Lord and make your sacrifice to Him alone.- 3 it is the one who hates you who has been cut off.
