marriage

women seclusion

Answer Details

One of the contributions of Islam to women's welfare is the introduction of inheritance. In Islam, women have the right to inherit property and assets from their families, which was a significant advancement in women's rights at the time. This means that women could own and control property, which gave them financial independence and security. The Qur'an specifies the portions of an estate that each heir is entitled to receive, including the wife, daughter, and mother. This contribution of Islam to women's welfare helped to empower women and improve their status in society.

If anybody wanted to join Muammad (SAW), he should send him back.

Muhammad(SAW) should not be recognized as leader

Answer Details

The option that was not part of the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah is "Muhammad (SAW) should not be recognized as leader." The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah was a peace agreement signed between the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the leaders of Mecca in the year 628. The treaty contained several terms, including: - There should be no war between the Muslims and the Meccans for ten years. - Muhammad (SAW) and his followers would return to Medina that year and postpone their pilgrimage to Mecca until the following year. - Any Meccan who wanted to join Muhammad (SAW) would be allowed to do so, but any Muslim who wanted to return to Mecca would not be permitted to do so. - The two sides would maintain peace and refrain from attacking each other's allies. The treaty was a significant turning point in the history of Islam, as it allowed Muhammad (SAW) and his followers to peacefully coexist with the Meccans and led to a period of increased growth and expansion for the Muslim community.

Truth has come and falsehood has vanished was uttered by the Prophet(SAW) when

he entered the sacred Ka'bah

Umar embraced Islam

he got to the city of Yathrib

Islam spread beyond Arabia

Answer Details

The phrase "Truth has come and falsehood has vanished" was uttered by the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) when he entered the sacred Ka'bah after the conquest of Mecca. This event took place in the eighth year of Hijra (630 CE), when the Prophet and his followers conquered Mecca without any bloodshed, after years of persecution and exile. As the Prophet (SAW) entered the Ka'bah, which had previously been a site of pagan worship, he recited the verse from the Quran (Surah Al-Isra, 17:81) that says, "Truth has come and falsehood has vanished; indeed falsehood is bound to vanish." This verse is a powerful declaration of the triumph of truth over falsehood, and it was a fitting statement for the occasion of the conquest of Mecca, which marked the victory of Islam over the forces of disbelief and idolatry. The utterance of this phrase by the Prophet (SAW) at the time of the conquest of Mecca was a significant moment in the history of Islam. It symbolized the triumph of the message of Islam, and the victory of justice and truth over tyranny and falsehood. It also marked a turning point in the history of the Arabian Peninsula, as Islam began to spread rapidly throughout the region and beyond.

After the Prophet's death, many Muslims who had memorized the Qur'an died in the wars of apostasy. To prevent the loss of the Qur'an, Abu Bakr ordered the collection of all the verses that had been revealed to the Prophet and had been written down by his companions. This was done by Zaid b.

Answer Details

The principle of Ijbar refers to the right of a father or guardian to give out his daughter or ward in marriage without her consent. This principle is recognized in Islamic law but is subject to certain conditions.

One of the key conditions for the principle of Ijbar to be applicable is that the girl must have attained the age of maturity, which is generally considered to be around 9-10 years old. This means that the girl must be capable of understanding the implications of the marriage contract and the duties and responsibilities that come with it.

In addition, the father or guardian must ensure that the marriage is in the best interests of the girl and that the groom is a suitable match for her.

This includes considerations such as the groom's character, financial situation, and physical and mental health.

The consent of the mother is not a requirement for the principle of Ijbar, although it is generally recommended that the mother be consulted and informed about the marriage.

According to Hadith 34 of an-Nawawi, the weakest of faith is changing an evil with the heart. This hadith teaches that faith is not merely a matter of ritual observance, but also involves moral responsibility. It highlights the importance of actively resisting evil and promoting good in both our actions and our thoughts. The hadith states that the strongest level of faith is to change an evil with our hands, meaning to physically intervene and stop the wrongdoing. The next level of faith is to change an evil with our tongue, which involves speaking out against the wrongdoing. The weakest level of faith is to change an evil with our heart, which means recognizing the evil as wrong but not taking any action to stop it. Therefore, the weakest level of faith according to this hadith is changing an evil with the heart, where a person acknowledges that something is wrong but does not take any action to stop it. This highlights the importance of taking proactive steps to promote good and prevent evil, both in our actions and in our thoughts.

The pre-Islamic practice of shigar which was abolished by Islam meant

trade by barter

exchange of female slaves

exchange of sisters in wedlock

gambling

Answer Details

The pre-Islamic practice of shigar was a custom that involved the exchange of sisters in wedlock between two different families or tribes. Essentially, this meant that a man from one family would marry a woman from another family, and in exchange, his sister would be married to a man from the other family. This practice was seen as a way to strengthen ties between the two families or tribes, but it was also seen as a form of exploitation and a violation of women's rights. Islam abolished this practice because it was considered to be unfair and demeaning to women. Instead, Islam emphasized the importance of free choice and consent in marriage, and encouraged marriages based on love, mutual respect, and shared values. In Islamic tradition, marriage is seen as a sacred and joyful union between two people who choose to be together, and the practice of shigar is no longer considered to be a legitimate or acceptable form of marriage.

Answer Details

Belief in the Prophets of Allah (God) implies that one should emulate their examples in serving humanity. Prophets are considered to be role models for believers and are revered for their moral and spiritual qualities. Muslims believe that the Prophets were chosen by Allah to guide humanity and convey His message to them. By believing in the Prophets, one acknowledges the importance of their teachings and the wisdom they imparted. Muslims are encouraged to learn from the examples set by the Prophets and to apply their teachings in their own lives. This includes serving humanity, promoting justice and compassion, and striving to make the world a better place. Muslims believe that emulating the Prophets in these ways is a way of pleasing Allah and fulfilling one's purpose in life. Visiting the tombs of the Prophets is not a requirement of belief in Islam, although some Muslims may choose to do so out of reverence for the Prophets. Similarly, withdrawing from society and living a solitary life is not a requirement of belief in Islam. Instead, Muslims are encouraged to engage with the world and contribute positively to society, following the example of the Prophets.

Al-Quddus is to the Holy as Al-Mutakabbir is to the

exalted

supreme

Answer Details

Al-Quddus and Al-Mutakabbir are both names or attributes of Allah (SWT) in Islamic theology. Al-Quddus means "The Holy" or "The Pure," and is a name that emphasizes Allah's (SWT) absolute purity and perfection. It conveys the idea that Allah (SWT) is free from any imperfection, deficiency, or impurity, and is completely separate from all that is imperfect or impure. Al-Mutakabbir, on the other hand, means "The Exalted in Might" or "The Supreme." It highlights Allah's (SWT) supreme power and authority, and emphasizes His absolute sovereignty and dominance over all of creation. It conveys the idea that Allah (SWT) is the ultimate source of power and authority, and that all power and authority ultimately derives from Him. Therefore, the word that can be associated with Al-Mutakabbir is "exalted" or "supreme," as it conveys the idea of Allah's (SWT) absolute power and authority over all of creation. While "almighty" could also be a possible association for Al-Mutakabbir, it is more commonly associated with another of Allah's (SWT) names, Al-Aziz, which means "The Almighty." "Compeller" is not commonly associated with Al-Mutakabbir in Islamic theology.
