Quiz Time (7) who was that Sahabia, was dawee & was tied on the camel for three days in a desert & Water came from Heavens for her?

 

 

Ans: Umm Shurayk ad-Dawsiyyah(R,a).

 

 

Have you heard about the pearl whose name is Umm Shurayk, may Allah be pleased with her? She was one of the early converts to Islam along with her husband. Come and attentively hear what she says. She relates her story by herself and says  When I embraced Islam, I heard a Hadeeth (narration) from the Prophet (pbuh) who does not talk from his own inclinations, in which he said: "A person who calls to something good or guidance will receive a reward equal to (the reward of) those who act accordingly, while nothing of their reward is diminished."

 

 

Therefore, she wanted to call many people to Islam so that her act would be added to the record of her righteous deeds. She wanted her scale to be heavy before the Lord of mankind. Therefore, she went into houses secretly and said to people, 'Bear witness that there is no God but Allah The Almighty and you will be successful.' She went to the house of so-and-so and said, 'Bear witness that there is no God but Allah The Almighty and you will be successful.'

 

 

'My husband's family entered upon me with their eyes full of evil, angry and snarling. They said to me, "Have you embraced the religion of Muhammad?"'

 

 

She added, "They tied me and carried me on a camel, which was the worst and harshest of their mounts. They led me to the desert.

 

 

She said, "When the days passed, I started to lose my hearing, mind and sight. On the third day, I was absolutely certain that I would die and meet the Lord of The Worlds and that I would not live until the next day.

 

 

She explained. While I was in this state, I felt the coldness of a bucket of water on my chest. Shortly thereafter I had a drink of it and then it was taken away. No sooner were my veins wetted, than I started to revive again and some of my hearing and sight returned to me. I looked to see a cloud above my head. There was a bucket hanging between the heavens and the earth. It descended again, I had a drink from it and then it was taken away. Then, I had a drink, and it was taken away. Then cold water was poured on me as if it was Paradise. This wetted my head and clothes.

Quiz Time (6) who was that Sahabiya set the condition, if He accepts Islam, his embracing Islam as her dowry & will marry him?

 

 

 

Ans: Umm Sulaym bint Milhan(r.a) & the Man was “Abu Talha Al-Ansari(r.a).

 

 

Abu Talha(r.a) set out for the home of Umm Sulaym. While he was on his way, he remembered hearing that Umm Sulaym had listened to the Makkan preacher, Mus'ab ibn Umayr, and had believed in Muhammad, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, and followed his religion. He shrugged the thought off, thinking it to be of no concern. Umm Sulaym's late husband had clung to the religion of his forefathers, refusing to have anything to do with Muhammad and his dawah (call).

 

When Abu Talha reached the home of Umm Sulaym, he asked permission to enter, and was allowed to go inside. Anas, a son of Umm Sulaym, was with her. Without hesitation, Abu Talha asked for her hand in marriage. "A man like you, Abu Talha is too good to be refused, but I will not marry you, for you are a Mushrik," (Polytheist) answered Sulaym.

 

Abu Talha thought that Umm Sulaym was just using this as an excuse, and that she had chosen someone wealthier than he, or from a more powerful tribe, so he asked: "Tell me the truth; why is it that you do not wish to marry me, Umm Sulaym?" "Do you think that there is another reason?" She asked. "Yellow and white i.e. gold and silver," he said. "Gold and silver!" she exclaimed. "This is what I think," he said. Then she said: "I call you to witness, Abu Talha, and I call upon Allah and His Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, to witness that if you accept Islam, I will agree to marry you, and will demand neither gold nor silver. Your Islam will be my dowry."

 

As soon as Abu Talha heard this from Umm Sulaym he began to think of his idol, which was made of rare and precious wood and was his personal totem, in keeping with the customs of the nobility of his tribe. Umm Sulaym wished to strike while the iron was still hot, so she continued: "Abu Talha, do you not know that this deity whom you worship instead of Allah grew out of the earth?" "Of course." He answered. "Do you not feel ashamed to be worshipping part of a tree which you have fashioned into a god, when you know that others have taken the remainder of the tree and used it for fuel with which to warm themselves or bake their bread? If you become a Muslim, Abu Talha, I will accept you as husband, and will not ask for dowry other than your acceptance of Islam." She said. "How do I go about becoming a Muslim?" he asked. "I will tell you," she answered, "You pronounce the word of truth and bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Then you go home, smash your idol, and throw it away." Abu Talha looked pleased and said: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah."

 

 

Shortly afterwards, Abu Talha married Umm Sulaym. And the Muslims of Madinah said among themselves: "We have never heard of a dowry more virtuous than that of Umm Sulaym, for acceptance of Islam was what she required as her dowry!"

 

From that day onward, Abu Talha became a sincere adherent to the faith of Islam, and put all of his energies and abilities in the service of his religion. He was among the seventy delegates who pledged their loyalty to the Messenger of Allah at al-Aqabah, together with his wife, Umm Sulaym. He was also one of the twelve men appointed that night by the Prophet, sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, as leaders of the Muslim community in Yathrib.

Quiz time(5) : Two women, in spite of being the wives of prophet will go to hell. Who are they?

 

Quiz time(5) : Two women, in spite of being the wives of prophet will go to hell. Who are they?

 

 

Ans: Wife of Nooh and Wife of Loot(peace be upon them).

The fate of the wives of Nooh and Loot (peace be upon them) is sufficient to prove that this view is mistaken, because they both went to Hell even though their husbands were Prophets.

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“Allaah sets forth an example for those who disbelieve: the wife of Nooh (Noah) and the wife of Loot (Lot). They were under two of our righteous slaves, but they both betrayed them (their husbands by rejecting their doctrine). So they [Nooh (Noah) and Loot (Lot)] availed them (their respective wives) not against Allaah and it was said: ‘Enter the Fire along with those who enter!’”

[al-Tahreem 66:10]

Ibn Katheer said: “Allaah says, ‘Allaah sets forth an example for those who disbelieve’ meaning, the fact that they may mix with Muslims or live among them will be of no avail to them and will not benefit them before Allaah, if faith does not enter their hearts. Then Allaah mentions the example and says, ‘the wife of Nooh (Noah) and the wife of Loot (Lot). They were under two of our righteous slaves’ meaning, two Prophets and Messengers; they were with them and in their company night and day, eating with them, being intimate with them, and interacting with them in the closest way; ‘but they both betrayed them’ means, with regard to faith and belief, because they did not share their faith or believe that they were Messengers of Allaah. So that did not help them at all and it did not ward off harm from them. Hence Allaah says, ‘So they [Nooh (Noah) and Loot (Lot)] availed them (their respective wives) not against Allaah’ meaning, because of their kufr. And it was said to both wives, ‘Enter the Fire along with those who enter!’”

(Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 4/394).

Quiz Time (4) who was that old, black woman appeared, tearing at her face, complaining loudly, when prophet conquered Makkah?

 

 

Ans:  Na’ila.

 

Who was she ?

 

Hanhal b. Isbq stated tht he was informed by Aha d-Rahic, from Ya'qiih d-qammi, quoting Jacfar b. Abn al-Mughira, from Ihn Abza, who said, "When the Messenger of God (SAAS) conquered Mecca, an old, grey-haired black woman appeared, clawing at her face and complaining loudly. The Messenger of God (SAAS) said, 'That is Na'ila;"' she is despairing that she will ever again be worshipped in your country."

 

 

The pre-Islamic goddess whose icon is said to have been positioned on Mr. Safa.

[Al-Sira al-Nabawiyya Vol 3 page 420, 4^th Hadith/ paragraph]

 

 

“Jin Shaitin have appeared in her form and scratching her face & shouted at prophet (pbuh) because her idol has been destroyed and no one will worship her anymore.(  interpretation by  Me. Allah knows the best)” Quote End.

 

As per the Historians.

 

 

During the period of Jahiliyyah (Ignorance), a man and woman from the Yemenite tribe of Jurhum called Isaf and Na’ilah committed adultery inside the Ka’bah. Allah (ﷻ) turned them into stones. When they were found the next day, they were carried outside and were set up at the Ka’bah as a warning. Over time these two stones were worshipped along with the other idols. One of the stones was placed right next to the Ka’bah; the other one was set up at the spring of Zamzam. Finally, the Quraysh ordered that the stone next to the Ka’bah to be carried to the other one at Zamzam. From then on, people slaughtered their sacrificial animals at that spot.

 

 

According to the traditions of the Meccan local historian al-Azraqī, the incident happened at the time when the Arab tribe of the Jurhum ruled over Mecca. The two stones were then removed from the Kaaba and placed on the Al-Safa and Al-Marwah hills, so that the people would be warned. Over the course of time, they were then venerated as idols.

QuizTime(3): Which prophet saw in his dream that "11 stars, the sun and the moon" were prostrating to him?

 

QuizTime(3): Which prophet saw in his dream that "11 stars, the sun and the moon" were prostrating to him?

 

Ans: Prophet Yusuf (Pbuh).

Its mentioned in the Qur'an.

[Of these stories mention] when Joseph said to his father, "O my father, indeed I have seen [in a dream] eleven stars and the sun and the moon; I saw them prostrating to me."

[Al-Qur'an ch 12 Verse 4]

The Interpretation of his Dream:

`Abdullah bin `Abbas stated that the dreams of Prophets are revelations from Allah. Scholars of Tafsir explained that in Yusuf's dream the eleven stars represent his brothers, who were eleven, and the sun and the moon represent his father and mother. This explanation was collected from Ibn `Abbas, Ad-Dahhak, Qatadah, Sufyan Ath-Thawri and `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam. Yusuf's vision became a reality forty years later, or as some say, eighty years, when Yusuf raised his parents to the throne while his brothers were before him.

Prostration:

"And when they entered upon Joseph, he took his parents to himself and said, "Enter Egypt, Allah willing, safe [and secure]."

And he raised his parents upon the throne, and they bowed to him in prostration. And he said, "O my father, this is the explanation of my vision of before. My Lord has made it reality.

[Al-Qur'an ch 12 Verse 99-100]

(I saw (in a dream) eleven stars...) In the laws of these and previous Prophets, it was allowed for the people to prostrate before the men of authority, when they met them. This practice was allowed in the law of Adam until the law of `Isa, peace be upon them, but was later prohibited in our law. Islam made prostration exclusively for Allah Alone, the Exalted and Most Honored.

QuizTime(1): Why no revelation came to Prophet Muhammed(pbuh) for 15 days?

Quiz time(1): Why no revelation came to Prophet Muhammed(pbuh) for 15 days?

[hint: Didn't added a phrase]

Ans: He(pbuh) did not say “In Shaa Allah” (If Allah wills)

The Story Behind In-sha-Allah

Jewish tribes that settled in Arabia and asking them to verify the credentials of this new Prophet. The Meccans - even though they were pagans - believed that the Jews were the people of the Book and had scriptures from God. So the Jewish leaders gave the Meccans a litmus test; 3 questions they should ask the new Prophet. If he answered 2 of them and not the third, then he's a true Prophet. Otherwise he was a liar.

The Meccans were ecstatic! Finally - they thought - they could corner the Prophet and ask him questions which he won't know the answers to since he was not from the people of the Book (and was an illiterate man).

The questions were:

1. Tell us about the young men who went into the Cave

2. Tell us about a King who ruled the east and the west

3. Tell us about the Soul.

[For more details read Tafsir ibn Kathir pdf page no: 2918]

When the Prophet was asked these 3 questions. He simply replied "I'll inform you tomorrow". And he did not add the phrase “In-sha-Allah”.

“When the Prophet was asked about the story of the people of the Cave, he said, "I will tell you tomorrow. '' Then the revelation was delayed for fifteen days.”[ Tafsir Ibn Kathir page 2937]

“And never say of anything, "I shall do such and such thing tomorrow, : Except (with the saying), "If Allah will!" And remember your Lord when you forget …”[Al-Qur’an ch 18 Verse 23-24]
