Q3[ON/2020/P11/Q5]
b) How can these events give hope to Muslims today?
a) Describe the main difficulties faced by the early followers of Islam.
b) This is because the Qur’an is considered to be the exact words of God,
revealed in Arabic to Prophet Muhammad. When Muslims recite the Qur’an,
they believe that they are receiving blessings from God and will be rewarded for
their efforts. Each letter that they pronounce correctly is said to bring them
closer to God and earns them a reward. Even if a person is struggling with their
recitation, they will receive double the reward. So, although they may not
understand the meaning of the words, they believe that reciting the Qur’an has
spiritual benefits and will help them in the afterlife.
also reported that the Holy Prophet weight would increase so much that the
camel he used to ride would hunch on its back. Holy Prophet also saw the
Angel coming in different forms. Sometimes the Angel would come in his
original form and at other times he would come in the form of a man. The
Angel came in the form of a man which Hazrat Umar described as “One day
while we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah there appeared before us a
man whose clothes were exceedingly white and whose hair was exceedingly
black; no signs of journeying were to be seen on him and none of us knew him.
He walked and sat down by the Prophet. Resting his knees against his and
placing the palms of his hands on his thighs, he said: 'O Muhammad, tell me
about Islam" During the first revelation the Prophet saw Angel Jibraeel in his
original form which has also been stated by the Holy Quran “And he [i.e.
Muhammad] has already seen him [i.e. Jibraeel] in the clear horizon” [Quran
81:23].
