11)   Who Represented Quraish delegation at the Negus court the ruler of Abbissinia ?

a. Abu Sufyan
b. Amr ibn al-‘As and Abdullah bin Rabiah
c. Al Mugharia
d. Muawiyia
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Amr ibn al-‘As and Abdullah bin Rabiah

Explanation:
The Migration to Abyssinia also known as the First Hegira, was an episode in the early history of Islam, where Prophet Muhammad’s first followers (the Sahabah) fled from the persecution of the ruling Quraysh tribe of Mecca. They sought refuge in the Christian Kingdom of Aksum, present-day Ethiopia and Eritrea (formerly referred to as Abyssinia, an ancient name whose origin is debated), in 9 BH (613 CE) or 7 BH (615 CE). The Aksumite monarch who received them is known in Islamic sources as the Negus (Arabic: نجاشي‎ najāšī) Ashama ibn Abjar. Modern historians have alternatively identified him with King Armah and Ella Tsaham. Some of the exiles returned to Mecca and made the hijra to Medina with Muhammad, while others remained in Abyssinia until they came to Medina in 628.

When the Quraysh learned that Muhammad’s companions could safely practice their religion in Abyssinia, they decided to send an embassy to the Negus to demand return of the fugitives. They selected two envoys, ‘Amr ibn al-‘As and Abdullah bin Rabiah, and gave them gifts for the king and his generals. The gifts were made up of leather prepared by fine skin, Abyssinians were fond of leather goods so it was a bribe for them. The Meccans appealed to the generals, arguing that the emigrants were “foolish youths” who invented a new religion the likes of which neither the Meccans nor the Abyssinians had heard of and that their relatives were asking for their return. The king granted them audience, but he refused to hand over people who had sought his protection until he heard their side of the story.

The Muslims were brought in front of the Negus (or “al-Najashi” in Arabic) and his bishops. Ja‘far ibn Abī Tālib, who acted as the leader of the exiles, spoke in their defense. He described to the king how they lived before Islam, Muhammad’s prophetic mission, and what he had taught them. He also spoke of the persecution they had faced at the hands of the Quraysh. The king asked if they had with them anything which had come from God. When Ja‘far confirmed, the king commanded him to read it. Ja‘far then recited a passage from Surah Maryam (Chapter of Mary). When the king heard it, he wept and exclaimed: “verily, this and what Jesus brought (Gospel) has come from the same source of light (miškāt)”. He then affirmed that he would never give up the Muslims.

However, one of the envoys, ‘Amr ibn al-‘As, thought of another tactic. On the following day he returned to the king and told him that the Muslims had said a dreadful thing about Jesus. When the Muslims heard that the king summoned them again to question them about their view of Jesus, they tried to find a diplomatic answer, but finally decided to speak according to the revelation they had received. When the king addressed Ja‘far, he replied that they held Jesus to be “God’s servant, His prophet, His spirit, and His word which He cast upon the virgin Mary”. Muslim account states that upon hearing these words, the Negus declared that Jesus was indeed no more than what he had said. He turned to the Muslims and told them: “go, for you are safe in my country.” He then returned the gifts to the envoys and dismissed them. Based on the timeframe of the hijra, it is presumed that the Negus was King Armah.


12)   The Quranic surah Al-Ikhlas means __________?

a. The politeness
b. The Purity
c. The Straight path
d. The character
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: The Purity

Explanation:
This surah was among those to receive many different titles. It is a short declaration of tawhid, Allah’s absolute oneness, consisting of four ayat. Al-Ikhlas means “the purity” or “the refining”.

Surah al-Ikhlas is an affirmation of Allah’s oneness and as such it negates all forms of polytheism and idolatry. This is very important because the foundation on which our faith is built is the absolute belief that Allah is One. Belief in One God entails certainty.


13)   After the death of Hazrat Zaid Bin Harith (RA), the leader of the Muslim army was ________ in the battle of Mota.

a. Hazrat Ja’far ibn Abi Talib (RA)
b. Hazrat Umar (RA)
c. Hazrat Bilal (RA)
d. Hazrat Usman (RA)
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Hazrat Ja’far ibn Abi Talib (RA)

Explanation:
Mobilization of the armies
Muhammad (PBUH) dispatched 3,000 of his troops in the month of Jumada al-Awwal 7 (AH), 629 (CE), for a quick expedition to attack and punish the tribes for the murder of his emissary by the Ghassanids.[16] The army was led by Zayd ibn Harithah; the second-in-command was Ja’far ibn Abi Talib and the third-in-command was Abd Allah ibn Rawahah. When the Muslim troops arrived at the area to the east of Jordan and learned of the size of the Byzantine army, they wanted to wait and send for reinforcements from Medina. ‘Abdullah ibn Rawahah reminded them about their desire for martyrdom and questioned the move to wait when what they desire was awaiting them, so they continued marching towards the waiting army.

The battle
The Muslims engaged the Byzantines at their camp by the village of Musharif and then withdrew towards Mu’tah. It was here that the two armies fought. Some Muslim sources report that the battle was fought in a valley between two heights, which negated the Byzantines’ numerical superiority. During the battle, all three Muslim leaders fell one after the other as they took command of the force: first, Zayd, then Ja’far, then ‘Abdullah. After the death of the latter, some of the Muslim soldiers began to rout. Thabit ibn Al-Arqam, seeing the desperate state of the Muslim forces, took up the banner and rallied his comrades thus saving the army from complete destruction. After the battle, Al-Arqam took the banner, before asking Khalid ibn al-Walid to take the lead.[17]

Khalid bin Walid reported that the fighting at Mu’tah was so intense that he used nine swords which broke during the battle. Khalid, seeing that the situation was hopeless, prepared to withdraw. He continued to engage the Byzantines in skirmishes, but avoided pitched battle.

18)   Hazrat Umar R.A embraced Islam, influenced by which Surah Of Holy Quran?

a. Surah Taha
b. Surah Yaseen
c. Surah Fateh
d. Surah Almaedah
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Surah Taha

Explanation:
Hazrat Umar R.A Acceptance of Islam:

Hazrat Umar (R.A) left his house, sword in hand, with the intent to kill the Holy Prophet (PBUH). As he made his way, he saw Naeem Bin Abdullah who asked Hazrat Umar (R.A) where he was heading off to and what his intentions were. Hazrat Umar (R.A) replied that he was going out to kill the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Naeem Bin Abdullah told Hazrat Umar (R.A) to first enquire about his own household members, as his sister, Fatimah (R.A), and her husband had accepted Islam. Enraged at hearing this, he stormed off in the direction of his sister’s house.

He found them reciting the Holy Quran. Witnessing this Hazrat Umar (R.A), unable to contain himself, began quarrelling with his brother-in-law. As things escalated quickly, his sister tried to stop them and by doing so Hazrat Umar’s (R.A) hand struck her face causing her to bleed. When Hazrat Umar (R.A) saw what he had done, he stopped immediately and told them to leave Islam, upon which they replied in the negative and said to him, “You may kill us but we will never leave.”

Hearing this Hazrat Umar (R.A) calmed down and asked his sister to recite a few verses from the Quran. The verses recited before Hazrat Umar (R.A) were from Surah Taha or Surah Al-Hadid.

Hearing these verses Hazrat Umar (R.A) began to weep and said that surely those were the words of Allah, the One God. After this, Hazrat Umar (R.A) rushed directly to the Holy Prophet (PBUH) with the same sword he had intended to kill him with. However, instead, he accepted Islam.

In Ahadith, we find that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) prayed to Allah saying,

“O ALLAH, STRENGTHEN ISLAM WITH ONE OF TWO MEN WHOM YOU LOVE MORE: AMR IBN HISHAM [ABU JAHL] OR UMAR IBN AL-KHATTAB.” (SUNAN AL-TIRMIDHI)

Thus, it was due to the prayer of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) that God’s decree came into effect.

Hazrat Umar (R.A) embracing Islam gave confidence and granted power to the Muslims in Mecca.


19)   Which surahs are called Mauzatain?

a. Last two surahs
b. First two surahs
c. Last four surahs
d. None of these
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Last two surahs

Explanation:
Al-Mu’awwidhatan sometimes translated as “Verses of Refuge”, is an Arabic term referring to the last two suras (chapters) of the Qur’an, viz. al-Falaq (ch. 113), and An-Nās (ch. 114), which are two consecutive short prayers both beginning with the verse “Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of…”. Although these two suras are separate entities in the Qur’an and also are written in the Mushaf under separate names, they are so deeply related with their contents closely resembling each other’s that they have been designated by the common name ‘al-Mu’awwidhatayn’ (the two suras in which refuge with Allah has been sought).

21)   when were wine declared haraam?

a. 4 hijri
b. 6 hijri
c. 8 hijri
d. 9 hijri
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: 4 hijri

Explanation:
Alcoholic drinks were banned in the fourth year of the Hijra (Muslims migration from Mecca to Medina) when Bani Nadeer Jews were driven into exile from their lands.

When the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) honored Medina with his migration, drinking and gambling were widespread among Muslims. When the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) arrived, Muslims asked him for his views about drinking and gambling. Umar offered a supplication to Allah Almighty about a decisive decree to be stated by Him.

After a while, the decree that they had been waiting for came: They ask you about intoxicating drinks and games of chance. Say: “In both there is great evil, though some use for people, but their evil is greater than their usefulness.” They also ask you what they should spend (in Gods cause and for the needy). Say: “What is left over (after you have spent on your dependents needs). Thus does God make clear to you His Revelations, that you may reflect” (1)

Upon that, some Muslims quit drinking due to its harm, but some continued to drink as before.

Those who were drunk caused some unpleasant things to happen. During the evening worship, someone from the Muslims was confused as he was reciting the Quran in a way that totally sounded in the reverse meaning.

Umar again supplicated; O Lord! Send us a clear and final verse about drinking.

Before long, the following verse was sent down: O you who believe! Do not come forward to (stand in) the Prayer while you are in (any sort of) state of drunkenness until you know what you are saying, nor while you are in the state of ritual impurity (requiring the total ablution) – save when you are on a journey (and then unable to bathe) – until you have bathed (done the total ablution)… (2)

And this verse was the second phase of the ban on drinking.

Until then, there was a large number of Muslims who drank. When the verse came, they promised the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) not to approach worship when they were drunk. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) remained silent in the face of the promise.

When the prayer times came, some Companions always reminded the others not to come near to worship if they were drunk. Nevertheless, a Muslim came to worship when he was drunk.

Umar again supplicated: O Lord! Give us a clear and final verse about drinking. Then another verse was sent down:

“O you who believe! Intoxicants, games of chance, sacrifices to (anything serving the function of) idols (and at places consecrated for offerings to other than God), and (the pagan practice of) divination by arrows (and similar practices) are a loathsome evil of Satans doing; so turn wholly away from it so that you may prosper (in both worlds)

Satan only seeks to provoke enmity and hatred among you by means of intoxicants and games of chance, and to bar you from the remembrance of God and from Prayer. So, then, will you abstain?” (3)

On hearing this final verse, Muslims promised not to approach drinking and gambling any more. And that was the third phase of the ban on alcoholic drinks. Thus, alcoholic drinks were proclaimed religiously forbidden for all Muslims.

After those verses were sent down, a town crier called out to the people of Medina with the order of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) about this final ban.

On hearing this order, all the Muslims poured out their drinks.

Below are some hadiths about the issue:

Verily Allah Almighty curses alcoholic drinks, those who make them, the place where they are made, who drink them, and who make others drink them, who carry them, who get them carried, who sell and buy them, and who make a living with them. (4)

Every intoxicating substance is haram (religiously prohibited).

Whoever keeps drinking in the world and dies before s/he could repent, s/he will not be able to drink sherbet (sweet nonalcoholic drinks) in the hereafter. (5)

Stay away from drinking alcohol! For it is a key to every evil thing. (6)

Alcohol is the mother of all evil things. (7)

Very little of those intoxicants is also haram (religiously unlawful). (8)

a. 651 AD.
b. 652 AD.
c. 653 AD.
d. 634 AD.
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: 652 AD.

Explanation:
Abu Dharr al-Ghifari al-Kinani (أَبُو ذَرّ ٱلْغِفَارِيّ ٱلْكِنَانِيّ, ʾAbū Ḏarr al-Ghifārīy al-Kinānīy), also spelled Abu Zarr, born Jundab ibn Junādah (جُنْدَب ٱبْن جُنَادَة), was the fourth or fifth person converting to Islam, and from the Muhajirun. He belonged to the Banu Ghifar, the Kinanah tribe. No date of birth is known. He died in 652 CE, at al-Rabadha, in the desert east of Medina.

Abu Dhar is remembered for his strict piety and also his opposition to Muawiyah I during the caliph Uthman ibn Affan era. He is venerated by Shia Muslims as one of The Four Companions, early Muslims who were followers (Shi’a) of Ali ibn Abi Talib.

He was regarded by many, including Ali Shariati, Muhammad Sharqawi and Sami Ayad Hanna, as a principal antecedent of Islamic socialism, the first Islamic socialist, or the first socialist altogether. He protested against the accumulation of wealth by the ruling class during ‘Uthmān’s caliphate and urged the equitable redistribution of wealth.

33)   What was the miracle given to Hazrat Isa (AS) by Allah?

a. Reviving the Dead
b. Moving the Mountains
c. Cutting the Moon in half
d. Giving voice to dumb
Answer  Explanation 

ANSWER: Reviving the Dead

Explanation:
The Miracles of Hazrat Isa (AS)

Prophet Jesus like many other Prophets had proved the authenticity of his mission by miracles he demonstrated with the Permission of God.

The wonders performed by the Prophets that we call ‘Miracles’ are referred to in the Quran (3:49, 5:114) and the Bible (Act2:43) as ‘The Sign of God’, because it verifies and confirms the claim of the Prophets. Miracles also mean ‘Wonders’ because they made the observers marvel.

In Arabic, a miracle is called ‘Al-Mo’jezah’ which means an act that humans are incapable of doing. No human including the Prophets could ever perform the miracles independently and without the Leave of God. The holy Quran in a general rule states that no miracle can ever take place without the Permission of God.

“And it was not given to any Messenger that he should bring a Sign (Miracle) except by the Leave of Allah.” (40:78, 13:38)

The purpose of demonstrating the miracles was mainly for people to be able to verify and confirm the claim of the Prophets and to increase their faith. Thus, Jesus after performing miracles said to his people:

“Surely, therein is a Sign for you, if you believe.” (3:49)

The Jewish people at the time of Jesus were also of the opinion that miracles are the works of the Prophets by the Leave of God. Thus, Nicodemus, a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin who, while visiting Jesus by night for learning more of his teachings, said to him: “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can work the Signs you work unless God is with him.” (John3:1-3)

Similarly, according with the Gospel of John, when Jesus miraculously fed five thousand people with a little food, people who saw that Sign said: “This surely is the prophet who is to come into the world.” (John 6:14)

The holy Quran has mentioned many miracles performed by the Prophets. Although they all did take place by the Permission of God, the phrase of the ‘Permission of God’ is mentioned only regarding the miracles performed by Prophet Jesus. For instance, the great miracle of splitting the sea by Moses is mentioned in the Quran.

“Then We revealed to Moses: Strike the sea with your stick, and it parted.” (26:63)

Also, the amazing miracle of the conversion of Moses’ stick to a serpent is mentioned in the Quran.

“He cast it down, and behold! It was a snake, moving quickly.” (20:20)

Regarding the miracle of Prophet Yusuf (a.s), the holy Quran narrates that he said to his brothers:

“Go with this shirt of mine, and cast it over the face of my father, he will become clear-sighted.” (12:93)

And once his brothers reached home and cast the shirt of Yusuf on their father’s face

“He became clear-sighted.” (12:96)

In none of the above examples the phrase of ‘By the Leave of Allah’ is added, although they have undoubtedly occurred by His Leave. It is only regarding the miracles performed by Prophet Jesus that the Almighty God deliberately adds the expression of ‘By the Leave of Allah’ (5:110, 3:49).

Interestingly, this phrase is repeated six times in the Quran only regarding the miracles of Jesus. Even in one Ayah (3:49) two miracles are related to Jesus and as such the phrase ‘By the Leave of God’ is repeated twice. Why? This is because the Almighty God aims at correcting the false and blasphemous dogma of the Trinity.

Traditional Christians say: “One way to establish Jesus’ deity and son-ship to God is by the miracles he performed. Jesus’ life was characterized by undeniable miracles. He was born of Virgin Mary, was resurrected and ascended to heaven. He also performed many miracles. A miracle is the act of God. Thus, Jesus had power over nature. This upholds the belief that Jesus is “The son of God!”

Many modern Christian scholars on the other hand are very sceptical about any miracle related to Jesus. The Jews also regarded him no more than a magician. The holy Quran, whilst acknowledging the miracles of Jesus, emphasizes that they all occurred ‘By the Permission of God’.

In short, regarding the miracles of Jesus, all, other than Muslims, have gone astray. Traditional Christians although they believe in the miracles of Jesus as reported in the Gospels, wrongly conclude from them the deity of Jesus. Liberal Christians and the Jewish people also have gone astray by either denying his miracles or accusing Jesus of being a magician.

It is narrated from Imam Sadiq (a.s) that Jesus was once on the peak of a mountain called ‘Ariha’. Satan appeared to him in the form of the King of Palestine and said to him: “O Ruhullah! You revived the dead and healed those born blind and cleaned the lepers. Can you drop yourself down from the mountain without being hurt? Jesus replied: “I was given Permission for those miracles and for this I do not have the Permission.”

The Gospel according with John also quoting from Jesus regarding the healing of the man who had suffered from an infirmity for 38 years, states that Jesus could do nothing independently. (John 5:30)

If Jesus be the son of God because of the miracles he performed, then Moses must have been the son of God before him, and so are Abraham, Jacob, Muhammad and all other Prophets peace be upon them.

“Be He (Allah) Glorified and Exalted above all that (evil) they attribute to Him.” (6:100)

Thus, according with the sublime teachings of the Quran performing miracles is a sign of being a Messenger of God not of being God or son of God! The Holy Quran has narrated six different types of miracles performed by Prophet Jesus, all by the Leave of God.



1. Speaking in the crib

Before a human baby learns how to talk, he must learn the rules of language and how adults use it to communicate. He begins with babbling, then will pick up some simple words from his mum and those around him, and then between the age of one or two years he will begin to from two to three word sentences. This is a normal development of the human ability of speaking.

The first miracle of Prophet Jesus was demonstrated when he was only a few days or even few hours old. When he was just a new born babe in the crib he fluently spoke out and introduced himself. (19:30-33)

The purpose of this miracle was to safeguard Mary from false charges. Without this miracle, Mary would have been persecuted for adultery. It is, however, astonishing that none of the Gospels have narrated such an important and vital miracle.

2. Creating a living bird

Creation is the marvellous act of God. The Almighty God in the holy Quran refers to the creation of man:

“So, when I have fashioned him completely and breathed into him from My Soul……..”(15:29)

Another miracle related to Jesus in the Quran is the creation of a living bird out of clay.

“I create for you out of clay, a figure like that of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah’s Leave.” (3:49, 5:110)

Referring to the above Ayah, some Christian evangelists attempt to confirm the divinity of Jesus according with the Quran! The main point they miss or ignore is ‘By Allah’s Leave’. None of the creatures of God can create anything without his Leave.

“Those whom they invoke besides Allah have not created anything, but are themselves created.” (16:20)



3. Bringing the dead to life

The act of causing living creatures to die or reviving the dead to life is a divine act. The Almighty God reveals in the holy Quran:

“And that it is He (Allah) Who causes death and gives life.” (53:44)

One of the miracles of Jesus was that he was, by permission from God, bringing the dead to life. (3:49) The holy Quran does not give the details of the person/persons that Jesus brought back to life. The present Gospels however have recorded some dead people whom Jesus revived such as Lazarus (John 11:1-44). For Christians, the reviving of the dead is considered one of the greatest miracles demonstrated by Jesus. They count on this miracle as one of the signs for his deity.

We however, need to bear in mind that firstly the miracles of Jesus were performed by the Leave of God and secondly according with the Old Testament Prophet Elijah also revived the dead by the Permission of God. (1 Kings 17: 2-24). If reviving a dead to life makes the actor god or son of god, then why can’t Elijah also be the same?



4. Healing the terminally ill and those born blind

Jesus was healing those born blind and the lepers too as indicated in the holy Quran. (3:49) Christians argue that in the Old Testament it is God Himself Who is associated with the giving of sight to the blind. (Ex. 4:11). Thus, they conclude, Jesus is god! The answer to this is that neither Jesus nor any other person can ever perform any miracle without the Leave of God and hence the miracles of Jesus are in fact the intervention of God through His selected servant, i.e. Jesus.

5. Disclosing secrets
The holy Quran narrates another miracle that Jesus performed by God`s permission, which is related to the scope of human knowledge. Jesus was informing people about those things which were secret to other than them, such as what they ate at home and what they had hidden there. (3:49) Although man in an ordinary manner has no access to the unseen, God chooses to unveil the secrets and the unseen to some of His servants.

“He (Allah alone is) the All-Knower of the unseen, and He reveals to none His unseen. Except to a Messenger whom He has chosen.” (72:26-27)

Jesus was a chosen Messenger of God and hence God revealed to him the secrets.

6. A table spread with food from heaven
Prophet Jesus performed a miracle exclusively for his disciples when they were wandering with him on the earth preaching his teachings. Once they ran out of food and asked Jesus: “Can your Lord send down to us a table spread with food from heaven?” Jesus, who was not sure about their intention, refused to perform the miracle and advised them: “Fear Allah if you are indeed believers.”

They explained that they had no intention for this request but “To eat thereof and satisfy our hearts to be stronger in faith, and to know that you have indeed told the truth and that we ourselves be its witnesses.”

Once Jesus was assured of their sincere intention he invoked to God saying: “O Allah, Our Lord! Send us from the heaven a table spread (with food) that there may be for us –for the first and the last of us- an Eid and a Sign from You; and provide us with sustenance, for You are the Best of sustains.”

The fifth chapter of the Quran is named after this miracle ‘al-Ma’edah’ and its story is mentioned in Ayaat 112 to 114. The holy Quran, as of its usual style, does not mention the details of the story. According with a Hadith from Imam Baqir (a.s) their heavenly food was bread and fish.



7. Prophecy of the coming of Ahmad

I shall deal with this miracle in chapter seven.

The Miracles of Jesus in the Gospels
The four Gospels recorded about 35 separate miracles Jesus performed. The Bible, distorted as it is, has narrated in the Gospel of John (chapter 2) that the conversion of twenty to thirty gallons of water into wine at a wedding was the first miracle performed by this great Messenger of God! Undoubtedly a religion where its leader converts water into wine, will serve wine as part of their religious service! According with the sublime and rational teachings of the holy Quran,

“All intoxicants are an abomination, the Satan’s handiwork”. (5:90)

Thus, the finger print of Satan is so obvious in the narration of John. The compilers of the Gospels exaggerated so much about the number of miracles performed by Jesus that it was as if all the people in his area were born blind, deaf and lepers, and Jesus had no mission other than to heal them all. John at the end of his Gospel says that if all the miracles of Jesus were described in detail, he supposed the world itself would not have room for the books that would have be written!
