Indhar definition

Indhar literally means 'warning'. 'Indhar' and 'Basharat' (literally: 'glad tidings') are the two major components of the message of prophets and messengers of God. Both the messengers as well as the prophets of God warn their addressees of the grievous punishment that awaits them if they persist in rejecting God's message and give them glad tidings of the eternal life of bliss if they accept this message and live their lives according to the directives entailed in it. In the case of the prophets (Nabi) both the 'Indhar' (warning) as well as the 'Basharat' (glad tiding) is with reference only to the life hereafter, whereas in the case of the messengers (Rasu'l) this 'Indhar' and 'Basharat' is also with reference to the punishment/reward that their addressees are to face in the life of this world in case of rejection/acceptance of God's message.
