Answer the following questions.

1.Give a brief introduction of the Holy Quran.

ANS:

THE HOLY QURAN

Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (صلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وآلہ وسلم) is the Last Prophet of Allah.

Almighty Allah revealed to him the Holy Quran. Being the last book of Allah, the Holy Quran is a

permanent source of guidance for all mankind. The Book also testifies all the previous Divine Scriptures

and Books:

Almighty Allah had also sent His Prophets for the guidance of the previous generations,

and revealed His Books to some of them. However the teachings of those prophets and the books

revealed to them have not been preserved with their original text. In the Holy Quran Allah says:

 

“And to Thee We revealed the Book with the truth, confirming the Scripture that came

before it, and this (the Holy Quran) is a watcher over it. ” (ALMA’DAH-48)

The Holy Quran provides guidance in regard to all the aspects of human life. It describes

the reality of life, the good and evil, the lawful and unlawful, the righteousness and unrighteousness,

moral teachings and all other aspects of life. The Holy Quran also provides detailed information

about the life in the Hereafter and discusses its importance very effectively.
The Holy Quran imparts basic teachings about man’s individual and collective life, his

rights and duties in society and his economic matters. It also educates man comprehensively in

the fields of politics and international affairs and morality.

In short the Holy Quran is a treasure of information and guidance covering all the

aspects of human life. It elaborately explains all thethings which a common man must know

and there is no other source for him to get the required knowledge.

 

  1. How has the Holy Quran been preserved?

ANS:

PRESERVATION:

The Holy Quran has been revealed by Almighty Allah and. He Himself took the responsibility

to safeguard it. In the Holy Quran He says:

“Without doubt we have sent down the Message and without doubt we will guard

it”.(ALHAJAR-9)

The Holy Quran was revealed little by little. The companions of the Holy Prophet

(صلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وآلہ وسلم) learnt it by heart. Whenever some Quranic verses were revealed,

the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وآلہ وسلم) sent for the scribe and dictated the revelation to him.

The Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وآلہ وسلم) also gave him the instructions

as to where the new verses were to be included, i. e. in which Surah and before or after

which verses they were to be included. The passage of the revelation was placed at a fixed

place in Masjid-e- Nabvi.

It was during the pious life of the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وآلہ وسلم) that most of his wives,

the members of his family, and the male and female companions (رضی اللہ عنہم) of the Holy Prophet

(صلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وآلہ وسلم ) had learnt the

complete text of the Holy Quran by heart. A number of venerable companions (صلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وآلہ وسلم)

of the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وآلہ وسلم )
had also prepared the copies of the Holy Quran,

After the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وآلہ وسلم) passed away, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique

(رضی اللہ عنہ) preserved allthe parts of the Holy Quran together in the order prescribed by the

Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وآلہ وسلم).

Hazrat Usmam, during the period of his Caliphate, prepared several copies of

the Holy Quran, arranged accordingly and sent one copy to each of the provincial capital cities.

  1. Write a note on the distinct characteristics of the Holy Quran?

ANS:

  1. Quran is Al Hakeem

The first characteristic of the Qur’an that we will share is: Al Hakeem.Allah ta’ala says:

“ By the Qur’an, full of wisdom!” (YASEEN : 2)

  1. Quran is Qayyiman

“All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has sent down to His slave the Book

(the Quran), and has not placed therein any crookedness. It is straight to give warning

of a severe punishment from Him, and to give glad tidings to the believers, who work

righteous deeds, that they shall have a fair reward.” (ALKAHAF:1-2)

  1. Quran is Full of Dhikr

In beginnings of surah Saad Allah says:

“Saad. And by the Qur’an, full of dhikr!( SAAD:1)

  1. Quran is Mubeen

“Al Kitaabil Mubeen” appears many times in the Qur’an. The Qur’an is a

bayyinah, a clear proof. Everything that is stated in this Qur’an is based on bayyinah:

  1. Quran is Mubaarak

Allah says:

“(This is) a Mubaarak Book which We have sent down to you, that they may

reflect upon its signs, and that men of understanding may remember.” (Saad: 38:29)
Mubaarak is that which is full of barakah.

  1. Quran is Kareem

Allah says:

“That this is indeed a Qur’an, Kareem.” (AL:77)

This Qur’an that is very beneficial, full of blessings, katheerun naf’, full of benefits.

LESSON:2 Love for Allah and his Prophe P:140

Answer the following questions.

1.How do you come to the conclusion that there is only one Creator of the universe?

ANS:

       When man thinks about his self and the natural phenomena, he feels no difficulty in

reaching the conclusion that there must be some super being who wields power over

everything, brings up helpless creatures and possesses wisdom. That being is the one who

rules everything, gives energy
to all living things and enables them to develop. That being in All- Powerful, the Creator,

the Lord and the Supreme Sage. He makes the vast universe work with His wisdom.

Man cannot help thinking that if a chair, a table or an earthen bowl cannot come into

being without a maker, how the earth, the sky, the moon, the sun and man and uncountable

abilities in his
body came into existence.

This thinking leads us to the conclusion that all these things and capabilities have

been created by some Super Creator who is All-Powerful, All-Merciful and All-Wise and

Who is the source of
limitless powers in the universe. His power and wisdom is a proof of His existence.

2.What should man do in acknowledgement of the fact thathe has been created by Allah?

ANS:

The acknowledgement of His existence gives man the true perception of the human

life in relation to the vast universe.

The manifestation of the creation of Almighty Allah is visible everywhere in the world.

The greatness of man is to acknowledge the Creator, love Him devotedly and carry

out His commands.

In the Holy Quran Allah says:

“0 mankind! Worship you lord, who has created you.”

Worship requires that you must follow the orders of the Being Who has , see things

according to His wish.

He has blessed you with the ears, you should, therefore, listen what He wants you to listen to.

He has blessed you with the ability to think, you should, therefore, think over the existence

and power of the Creator and follow His commands.

  1. What do you understand by love for Allah?

ANS:

LOVE FOR ALLAH

Right thinking requires you to love Allah. If you receive an ordinary favour from

some person, you feel to be under his obligation. In some cases you feel obliged to your

benefactor for the whole of your life. Now think for a moment about the Being Who gives

you life. Why should you not foster love for Him? That is why Allah says:

“Those who believe are overflowing in their love for Allah.”(ALBAQARA:165)

 

The accomplishment of faith is not possible without love because any act performed

without love is always devoid of Divine guidance. It is said that. a lover is obedient to whom

he loves. It is required by faith that we should love Allah. Love for Allah requires that we

should accept His commands and follow them whole-heartedly. It is His mercy that Almighty

Allah sent
His Prophets in all ages for the guidance of mankind. To these pious persons Allah gave

His commands in form of Books and Scriptures.

The Holy Prophet ofIslam Hazrat Muhammad (صلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وآلہ وسلم) is the Last Prophet

of this series of guidance, and the Holy Quran revealed to him is the last book of guidance for

all times to come.

It is the last message to mankind for his success which can only be achieved by practising

its teachings. By acting upon its golden teachings, we can achieve success in this world as well as

in the Hereafter.

  1. Why is it important to follow the Holy Prophet صلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وآلہ وسلم?

ANS:

 

  1. Explain the finality of the Prophethood in the context of the holy Quran?

ANS:

OBEDIENCE

You can claim to have love for Allah, but how will you prove it. This question may

arise in the mind of almost every person. It is a greater graciousness of Allah that He Himself

has answered this question. Allah says;

“Say (0 Muhammad, to mankind); if you love Allah, follow me; Allah will love you

and forgive you for your sins. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (AAL IMRAN:31)

Love for Allah is to follow the examples set by the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وآلہ وسلم).

Obedience demands surrendering oneself completely. Your outward action must reflect your inner

feeling and inclination, otherwise the action will be nothing but hypocrisy. In such a case Allah warns

the Muslims in these words:

“But no, by the Lord they can have no (real) faith until they make thee judge in all

disputes between them, and find within themselves no resistance against this decisions,

but accept them with the fullest conviction.”(ALNISA:65)

The requirements of faith are fulfilled by complete obedience and surrendering to Allah’s will.

IMPORTANCE OF ZAKAAT

  • It brings prosperity to the giver in this world, and he will also get a good reward in the Hereafter.
  • Once some persons came to the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وآلہ وسلم) and made a request to tell them about the
    teachings ofIslam. The Holy Prophet(صلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وآلہ وسلم) mentioned the two commands of Allah-prayers and Zakaat. Thus he made it clear that after prayers, the most important act of worship is to pay Zakaat.
  • After the Holy Prophet (صلی اللہ تعالٰی علیہ وآلہ وسلم) passed away, some people refused to pay Zakaat. Thereupon Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique () declared Jihad against them.
  • The Holy Quran has warned in harsh words, the persons who do not pay Zakaat.

Allah says:

“0 you who believe! Indeed there are many among the rabbis (Jewish) and priests (Christian) who devour the wealth of mankind in falsehood, and dissuade them from the way of Allah. And there are those who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah. Announce unto them a very painful punishment. On the Day (ofJudgment) this (gold and silver)will be heated in the fire of hell, and with it will be branded their foreheads,
their flanks and their backs ( and it will be said unto them) This is (the treasure) which you hoarded for yourselves. Now taste of what you hoarded (for yourselves.) (Tawbah: 34:35)

  • Zakaat provides man with the best opportunity to work for the welfare of people.
  • Zakaat supports the poor and deprived persons of a society. It is
    helpful to replace the feelings of hatred and vengeance with the sentiments
    of sympathy, reverence and mutual love.

In Islamic terminology Hijrat means the migration of the Muslims from one place to another for the religious cause.

If in a certain country the Muslims are oppressed, and they are subjected to torture for adopting the Islamic way of life, they must leave that place and migrate to somewhere else.

Allah command about Hijrat

“When angels take the souls of those who die in sin against themselves, they (the angels) will ask:

In what (plight) were you?

They will. reply:

We were weak and oppressed in the earth.

(The angels) will say:”Was not the earth of God spacious enough for you to migrate therein?

Such men will find their abode in hell, an evil refuge”.

Except those men, women and children who are really weak and appressed or who have no means in their power nor (do they have any guide) to direct their way.

For such people it is likely that Allah will forgive them.

And Allah is Merciful arid Forgiving.

And who migrates in the cause of Allah; will find in the earth many a refuge and abundance in the earth.

And one who forsakes his home for Allah and His Messenger, and death overtakes him, his reward is incumbent (due) on Allah.

And Allah is ever Forgiving, Most Merciful”(ALNISA:97-100)

The holy Quran says:

“Then verily thy Lord-for those who left their homes after they had been persecuted, and then fought and remained steadfast-verily thy Lord afte rwards is ever Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Allah has promised salvation, paradise and the best reward to those who migrate for the causeof Islam.

Allah has also assured them that they will be forgiven and their virtuous deeds will not go waste.” (ALNAHAL:110)

3-What reward has Allah promised in Surah AIImran to those who suffered harm for the religious cause?

ANS:

     The holy Quran says:

“Then their Lord accepted them (their prayer and He said): I never. let go waste the work of any worker, male or female.

You are members of one another.

Those who have left their homes or have been driven out of their homes and suffered harm for My cause and fought and were slain, verily I will remove their evil deeds from them and admit them into Gardens with rivers flowing beneath.
(This is) a reward from Allah, and with Allah is the best of rewards.”(ALIMRAN:195)

It can rightly be said that as long as Jihad was not declared obligatory, Hijrat was the best virtuous deed with the condition that it must be in the way of God and the migrant must stand firm to the principles ofIslam and the migration must aim at preaching and spreading the true religion.

4-What is Jihad and what is its best type?

ANS:

JIHAD

Jihad in an Arabic word derived from ‘J uhd’ or ‘J ahd’ which means
endeavour, effort or struggle.

In Islamic terminology it means to exercise all types of physical and mental energy in the way of God.

THE BEST TYPE OF JIHAD:

JIHAD BIN-NAFS

Jihad bin-Nafs is Jihad by person which means that a Muslim should be willing and prepared to bear all kinds of physical troubles in the service of the religion of Almighty Allah. One must be prepared to under- go hardship or to be sentenced to death. He must not fear arrows, spears, swords, guns or connons. He must be prepared to receive injuries and cuts which may take even his life. When we use the word Jihad it usually means Jihad bin-Nafs. In the holy Quran the word ‘Qital’ is used for this type of Jihad.

Allah commands the Muslims to make preparations for Jihad, and forbids Muslims to use the word ‘dead’ for the martyres. The holy Quran says that the martyres receive sustenance from their Lord and they hold festivities. Allah has promised a great reward to them.

SAME Q:4

ANS:

1l-JIHAD BIL-MAL

Jihad bil-Mal or Jihad by wealth means that one has to spend one’s wealth or property for the preaching of religion and for the success of Truth. Almighty Allah gives man wealth and property so that he may spend it in the way of Allah.

The holy Quran says:

“Those who believe and migrated and did Jihad in the way of Allah, by wealth and by person, they are exalted to high rank by Allah.”( AL               :         )

The first is love for one’s self and the other is love for wealth. The nation which sets aside these hindrances and spends its wealth and manpower without any hesitation gains success.

2-JIHAD BY KNOWLEDGE

         The holy Quran says:

“Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching, and argue with them in a better way.”(ALNAHAL:125)
