  • to sacrifice all life provisions and blessings for sake of Allah satisfaction and rewarding, and
  • not to follow Satan steps and not to obey Satan.

The purpose of sending the prophets by Allah?

Its purpose was to perfect the beliefs of the one true God, Allah, because of the turning away of the Jews and Christians from the true religion, into dogmas and doctrines.

Muslims mistrust the books followed by Christians and Jews principally because of perceived over-frequent and inaccurate translations: they suspect that personal notes of self-appointed apostles or the opinions and explanations of one person or another have crept into the original texts over time.

Islam, however, from its very beginnings, separated the word of God from the word of the Prophet, and from the words of people regarding the life of the Prophet - to avoid such a confusion. Muslims regard the words of the Holy Book "The Qu'ran" as fully accurate and unchangeable; they maintain that one cannot doubt their truth for they are the same everywhere[citation needed]. On the other hand, Islamic tradition separates the words of the Prophet and the stories recorded about the Prophet into several different books based on accuracy, trust of source or possible degree of inaccuracy. Not all quotations ascribed to the Prophet are necessarily true ones.

Seven Reasons to Read the Glorious Quran

(1) Intimate:

It dares you to disprove it. How? It says that humans can not write a book like this even if they pooled all their resources together and got help also from the spirits. The Quran said this fourteen hundreds years ago and yet no one has been able to disprove it. Billions of books have been written - but not another one like the Quran.

(2) Incorruptible:

It is the only religious sacred writing which has been in circulation for such a long time and yet remains as pure as it was in the beginning. The Quran was kept intact. Nothing was added to it; nothing was changed in it; and nothing was taken away from it ever since it was completely revealed 1400 years ago.

(3) Unsurpassed:

The Quran is God's final revelation to humankind. God revealed the Torah to Moses, the Psalms to David, the Gospel to Jesus, and finally the Quran to Muhammad. Peace be upon all of them. No other book will come from God to surpass his final revelation.

(4) Indisputable:

The Quran withstands the test of time and scrutiny. No one can dispute the truth of this book. It speaks about past history and turns out right. It speaks about the future in prophecies and it turns out right. It mentions details of physical phenomena which were not known to people at the time; yet later scientific discoveries confirm that the Quran was right all along. Every other book needs to be revised to accord with modern knowledge. The Quran alone is never contradicted by a modern discovery.

(5) Your Road-map for Life and Afterlife:

The Quran is the best guidebook on how to structure your life. No other book presents such a comprehensive system involving all aspects of human life and endeavor. The Quran also points out the way to secure everlasting happiness in the afterlife. It is your road-map showing how to get to paradise.

(6) God's Gift of Guidance:

God has not left you alone. You were made for a reason. God tells you why he made you, what he demands from you, and what he has in store for you. If you operate a machine contrary to it's manufacture specification you will ruin that machine. What about you? Do you have an owner's manual for you? The Quran is from your function for success lest you fail to function. It is a healing mercy from God. It satisfies the soul, and cleans the heart. It removes doubts and brings peace.

(7) Your Calling Card to Communicate with God:

Humans are social creatures. We love to communicate with other intelligent life. The Quran tells us how to communicate with the source of all intelligence and the source of all life- the One God. The Quran tells us who God is, by what name we should address God, and the way in which to communicate with God. Are these not seven sufficient reasons for reading the Quran?

Quran is the Word of God! The Qur'an has many axes:

1- Who is Allah and his attributes (mercifully...)

2- Stories of tributes and prophets before Muhammad;

3- Things that not happened yet: The day of judgment, and the life after death, all the things

4- The Shari'a: Allah's law for mankind to leave in happiness in the life and the after.

5- Description of Allah creations: the creation of the universe, of a baby ...

To know that Quran is really the Word of God, please search Google for "miracles of the Quran".... Quran actually tells us many many wonderful scientific facts about our Universe, man, human body etc. Those 1000s of facts included in the Quran was never known at the time it was written 14,000 years ago. That's because Quran is the Word of God.

How was killed the Grandson of Prophet Mohammad Hussein?

Husayn ibn 'Alī ibn Abī Ṭālib (حسين بن علي بن أﺑﻲ طالب‎)‎ was born on 3rd of Shaban 4 AH - and was martyred on the 10th Muharram 61 AH; 8 January 626 AD - 10 October 680 AD). He is the son of the fourth Caliph Ali ibn Abou Talib and Fatima Al-Zahraa (daughter of the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him).

Imam Husayn fought the tyranny, as he refused to pledge allegiance to Yazid (the Umayyad Caliph and grandson of Abou Sufian) . He rose up to create a regime that would reinstate a "true" Islāmic polity as opposed to what he considered the unjust rule of the Umayyads.

As a consequence, Husayn was killed and beheaded in the Battle of Karbalaa in 680 AD (61AH) by Shimr Ibn Thil-Jawshan.

Shimr Ibn Thil-Jawshan was a soldier in the Ummayad army during the battle of Karbala, in southern Iraq that occurred in the year 680 AD. He was the maternal uncle of Abbas ibn Ali. Abbas ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib was loyal to Husayn and was a great and brave warrior.

When people say angels are the daughter of Allah what does the Quran say?

Allah has very clearly mentioned in Surah Al-Ikhlaas (The Sincerity):

Say (O Thou Prophet to the people) Allah is one. Allah is self-sufficient master (whom all the creature needs but he doesn't need any one). He neither begets (gives birth to anybody) nor was he begotten (was born to anybody). No one is equal to Him and no one one could be compared to Him.

This surah clearly says that Allah doest give birth to any creature. He has created all creatures but has not given birth to any. Angels are His creature like humans and jinns but not His daughters.

Also, Allah says:

(Those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names.

28. But they have no knowledge therein. They follow nothing but conjecture; and conjecture avails nothing against Truth)

Holy Quran,(53,27-28)

& HE says:

( And they make into females angels who themselves serve Allah. Did they witness their creation? Their evidence will be recorded, and they will be called to account! )

Holy Quran,(43:19)
