In Quran chapter 95 verse 3, Makkah is referred to as the city of "security." The Arabic word used in the verse is "amin" which means safety, peace, and security. This refers to the fact that Makkah was considered a sacred and secure city even before the advent of Islam. It was a place of pilgrimage for many tribes and was considered a sanctuary where no violence was allowed. This is why the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) chose Makkah as the birthplace of Islam and the site for the Holy Kaaba, which has since become the focal point of Islamic prayer and pilgrimage.

The answer is Qada. Qada' is not a voluntary fasting but a term that refers to making up missed obligatory fasts in Islam. On the other hand, Ashura and Tasu'a are voluntary fasting days in Islam that are observed on the 9th and 10th of Muharram respectively, while many other voluntary fasts can also be observed by Muslims throughout the year.

In 620 C.E., Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) went to the city of Ta'if seeking protection and support for his message of Islam. However, the people of Ta'if, instead of welcoming him, rejected and stoned him. The Prophet was severely injured, and his companions had to shield him from the attacks. After this traumatic event, the Prophet was allowed to leave the city and return to Mecca. Therefore, the correct answer is "stoned by the people of Ta'if."

Permanent exemption from Ramadan fast may be occasioned by old age or chronic illness. If a person is too old or too sick to fast, they are exempted from fasting during Ramadan. Instead, they are required to feed a needy person for each day missed or make up for the missed fasts at a later time when they are able to do so. Breastfeeding, pregnancy, and menstruation are not occasions for permanent exemption from Ramadan fast. Women who are breastfeeding, pregnant, or menstruating are exempted from fasting during Ramadan but they are expected to make up the missed fasts at a later time when they are able to do so.

Caliph Uthman b. Affan's reign is primarily known for the standardization of the Qur'an. During his reign, he ordered the compilation of a standardized version of the Qur'an, which was based on the original manuscript compiled during the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This standardized version was then distributed throughout the Islamic empire, ensuring that all Muslims read the same version of the holy book. While Uthman did focus on tax collection and administrative fairness, these actions were not as significant as the standardization of the Qur'an. Uthman also played a role in the collection and preservation of Hadith, but this was not the primary focus of his reign. Overall, Uthman b. Affan's reign is primarily remembered for his efforts in standardizing the Qur'an, which has had a profound impact on the Islamic world to this day.

The state into which the pilgrim enters before the time of Hajj is called Ihram. Ihram is a sacred state that a Muslim enters into before performing the Hajj or Umrah pilgrimage. It involves wearing a simple two-piece white garment and observing certain restrictions, such as refraining from cutting hair or nails, using perfumes, or engaging in any form of sexual activity.

Monotheism is not a form of shirk according to the Qur'an. Shirk refers to the sin of associating partners with Allah or believing in multiple gods. The Qur'an teaches the belief in the Oneness of Allah (Tawheed) and monotheism is the foundation of Islamic belief. Monotheism is the belief in the existence of one God without any partners or associates. The other options mentioned are all considered forms of shirk in Islam: atheism denies the existence of Allah, trinity attributes partners to Allah, and polytheism believes in multiple gods.

The period between the advent of Islam in Arabia is referred to as Jahiliyyah because Arabia had no inspired Prophet and revelation. The term "Jahiliyyah" means "the time of ignorance" in Arabic, and it is used to describe the pre-Islamic era in Arabia. During this time, the Arab people had no guidance from a prophet or divine revelation, and they lived in a state of moral and intellectual darkness. They engaged in various forms of idolatry, ignorance, and social vices. With the advent of Islam and the revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad, the Arab people were enlightened and guided towards the path of righteousness and monotheism. The term "Jahiliyyah" serves as a reminder of the ignorance and darkness that existed before the light of Islam illuminated the hearts and minds of the people.

In the science of Hadith, the next Sahih on authenticity after Muttasil is Hasan. Muttasil refers to a Hadith chain that is continuous, with all the narrators in the chain having met and heard from each other. The next level of authenticity is Hasan, which refers to a Hadith that has a good chain of narrators but may have minor defects or weaknesses in the chain or the text. In other words, a Hasan Hadith has a chain of narrators that is reliable and trustworthy but may have minor issues that do not invalidate the Hadith as a whole. These minor issues could include things like a missing narrator or a narrator who is known to make mistakes occasionally. It's important to note that while a Hasan Hadith is considered authentic, it is still not as strong as a Sahih Hadith, which has a chain of narrators that is free from any major defects or weaknesses.

According to the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.), the greatest form of Jihad is suppressing one's selfish desires. Jihad means to strive or struggle in the way of Allah, and it has many forms. While some people may associate Jihad with military action, the Prophet (S.A.W.) taught that the struggle against one's own desires and temptations is the most significant form of Jihad. The concept of Jihad is often misunderstood as being solely about warfare, but the Prophet (S.A.W.) emphasized the importance of internal struggle against one's own self as a way to please Allah. This struggle requires individuals to control their desires, emotions, and impulses, and to choose what is right over what is easy or tempting. The Prophet (S.A.W.) once said: "The Mujahid (person who engages in Jihad) is the one who strives against his own self for the sake of Allah." This shows that the true meaning of Jihad is not limited to military action, but includes any effort made in the way of Allah. In conclusion, according to the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.), the greatest form of Jihad is the struggle against one's own selfish desires. It requires individuals to strive to be better, more compassionate, and more selfless for the sake of Allah.

The Qur'an verse that mentions the attainment of Allah's consciousness through fasting is verse number 183 in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:183). In this verse, Allah commands Muslims to fast during the month of Ramadan as a way to attain Taqwa or consciousness of Allah. Fasting during Ramadan involves abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs from dawn until sunset. Muslims do this to practice self-discipline, self-control, and to become more conscious of their actions and thoughts. Through fasting, Muslims can learn to control their desires and focus their attention on Allah. It is believed that this act of worship can increase one's Taqwa or consciousness of Allah and lead to a greater sense of spirituality and closeness to Him. Therefore, the verse encourages Muslims to observe the fast during the month of Ramadan, not only as a means of physical purification but also as a way to purify the soul and attain greater awareness of Allah's presence in their lives.

Hadith 1 of an-Nawawi collection states, "Verily, all actions are but driven by intention and for everyone is what he intended." This Hadith highlights the significance of intentions in Islam.

In Islam, it is believed that the intention behind an action is as important as the action itself. This means that performing a good deed with a good intention is more valuable than just performing the deed without any intention or with a bad intention. The Hadith emphasizes this by stating that all actions are driven by intention, meaning that every action we do is a result of our intentions.

Additionally, the Hadith highlights that every person will be rewarded or punished according to their intentions. This means that even if the outward appearance of an action seems good, if the intention behind it is bad, then it will not be rewarded. Conversely, if the outward appearance of an action seems small, but the intention behind it is good, then it will be rewarded greatly.

Therefore, the Hadith stresses the importance of sincerity and purity of intention in all actions. It reminds Muslims to always examine their intentions and ensure that they are doing things for the right reasons, seeking the pleasure of Allah and not for personal gain or recognition.

5. Recite another chapter from the Qur'an, or a few verses, silently.
6. Bow down and place your hands on your knees, saying Subhana Rabbiyal Adheem (meaning Glory be to my Lord, the Most Great) three times.
7. Stand up straight and say Sami Allahu liman hamidah (meaning Allah hears those who praise Him), then say Rabbana wa lakal-hamd (meaning Our Lord, all praise is Yours).
8. Prostrate by placing your forehead, nose, palms, knees, and toes on the ground, saying Subhana Rabbiyal A'la (meaning Glory be to my Lord, the Most High) three times.
9. Sit up straight, with your legs folded underneath you, and say Allahu Akbar, then repeat steps 4-8.
10. Sit up straight and recite the Tashahhud, which is a declaration of faith and praise of Allah. This includes reciting the first part of the Shahada, which is the declaration of faith in Islam.
11. End the prayer by turning your face to the right and saying Assalamu alaikum wa Rahmatullah (meaning Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you) and then turning your face to the left and repeating the same phrase.

That completes the Salatul-Subh, and it's recommended to make a supplication (Dua) afterwards. It's important to note that this is a general guide, and the prayer can vary slightly based on different schools of thought and personal preferences.

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ
مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ
وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ
وَمِن شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ
وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ

"In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Say, “I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak
From the evil of that which He created
And from the evil of darkness when it settles
And from the evil of the blowers in knots
And from the evil of an envier when he envies.”

(c) Suratul Falaq is a short chapter of the Qur'an that Muslims recite for protection and seeking refuge from the evils of the world. It teaches that there are various types of harm and evil that may befall a person, including those caused by other people's envy or ill intentions, and that seeking refuge in Allah is a means of protection from such harms. The chapter also highlights the power and majesty of Allah as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, who has power over all things.

In Islam, Destiny or Qadar refers to the belief that everything that happens in the world is predetermined by Allah. It means that Allah has knowledge of everything that will happen before it actually happens. This belief in predestination does not negate the concept of free will, as Muslims believe that Allah has given humans the ability to make choices and decisions in their lives.

Muslims believe that Allah has knowledge of all things, including the past, present, and future. This knowledge is absolute and complete, and nothing can happen without Allah's permission. However, this does not mean that Allah controls human actions or forces them to do anything against their will. Humans have free will and are responsible for their actions.

Muslims believe that Allah has written everything that will happen in the "Preserved Tablet" (Al-Lawh Al-Mahfooz), which is a record of all events that will occur in the universe until the end of time. Allah's knowledge of what will happen is not limited by time or space, and everything that happens is part of His divine plan.

Therefore, Muslims believe that they should strive to do their best in life and make good choices, but ultimately, the outcome of their efforts is in the hands of Allah. Muslims should trust in Allah's wisdom and accept the events that occur in their lives with patience and gratitude, whether they are good or bad, because everything happens for a reason and is ultimately part of Allah's plan.
