When prophet Mohamed's mother expired?

The beloved Prophet Muhammad (May peace be upon him) had four daughters. All of them died natural death. However, the eldest Hazrat Zainab (RAU) was seriously wounded when she tried to migrate from Makka to Madina. Anyhow, she didn't die at that time.

If somebody reports that any of the four daughters of The beloved Prophet Muhammad (May peace be upon him) was killed by any means or poisoned, he tells a lie. No wretched unfortunate Muslim can think of such a hellish act. Having highest regards and love for the children and grandchildren of The beloved Prophet Muhammad (May peace be upon him) is the basis of every Muslim's faith and Eeman.

Why Muhammad started Islam?

He was commanded by Allah the Almighty to convey the message of Islam after being chosen as the last prophet from Him to the mankind.

Islam was not started by prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It was started by God since the start of universe creation. Islam is an Arabic word that means in its universal sense full submission and surrender to God (Allah in Arabic) and hence it was the faith and religion from the universe creation date. Islam per Torah revelation by God to prophet Moses is called Judaism. Islam per the Bible revelation by God (same God) to prophet Jesus is called Christianity. Islam per Quran revelation by God (same God) to prophet Muhammad is called the same name Islam. All God prophets since Adam; through Noah, Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, ..., Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all) call for Islam or ; in another words, call for submission to God as the one and only one God with no partner, no son, no companion, no associate, and no equivalence.
It was not he who started Islam. All the prophets of Almighty Allah (God) had been preaching Islam. Islam was revealed to him. He was the last Prophet of Islam.

What is the name of grandmother of Prophet Muhammad pbuh?

Fatimah bint Amr (Arabic: فاطمة بنت عمر‎) (died 576) was Muhammad's grandmother. She was married to Abd al-Muttalib ibn Hashim. Her full name was: Fatimah daughter of `Amr ibn `A'idh ibn `Imran ibn Makhzum. Her mother's name was Sahre, Sahre's mother was Tahmur. Tahmur was the daughter of Ubeyd, the son of Qusai.

How many times did Prophet Muhammad performed hajj during his lifetime?

Muhammad (may peace be upon him) performed Hajj only once. This Hajj is also known as "Hijjat-ul-Widaa".

Why do Muslims move counterclockwise in the hajj?

Praise be to Allah.

We Muslims feel honoured and proud to be the slaves of Allah, the One, the Self-Sufficient Master, Who begets not nor was He begotten, and there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him; He is our Lord and we have no Lord besides Him. Hence we respond to the commands of our Lord with the utmost humility and submit to His commands, for we know that He is the All-Wise and no wisdom is greater than His. We know that He is the Most-Merciful and there is none more merciful than Him, may He be glorified and praised. Hence we love Him in a way that demands that we obey His commands even if that is somewhat difficult for us. We feel proud, happy and content when we do that which He commands us to do.

For if a human loves another person, he loves to serve him and that may make him happy. So what do you think about the Almighty Lord Who created us and grants us provision, and everything that we have is a blessing from Him? And His is the highest description. We owe everything to our Lord, so we must hasten to do all that He commands us to do, so that we might give back some small thanks for His great blessings. We can never thank Him enough, but by His grace Allaah the Most Generous accepts our small efforts and rewards us for them greatly.

For example, Hajj or pilgrimage. If a Muslim does Hajj in the manner required by his Lord, then Allaah has promised to forgive him his sins and admit him to Paradise, on condition that he does not spoil this action by committing any major action that would invalidate it and earn the anger of Allaah.

One of the great mercies that Allaah has bestowed upon this ummah (nation, i.e., the Muslims), is that Allaah has made obedience to His commands and the commands of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) subject to the condition that one be able to do them. So long as a person is able to do them, then it is obligatory for him to do what is required of him, otherwise he is not obliged to do so and he is excused. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"Allaah burdens not a person beyond his scope"

[al-Baqarah 2:286] - i.e., He does not ask him to do more than he can bear.

Concerning Hajj in particular, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

"And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka'bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allaah, those who can afford the expenses (for one's conveyance, provision and residence)"

[Aal 'Imraan 3:97]

By His mercy He has enjoined this upon His slaves once in a lifetime, so that it will not be too difficult for them, but He urges those who are able to do Hajj and 'Umrah more than once to do so. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Keep on doing Hajj and 'Umrah, for they take away poverty and sins as the bellows takes away the impurity from iron." (Narrated by al-Nasaa'i, 2/4; this is a saheeh hadeeth as was stated by al-Albaani in al-Silsilat al-Saheehah, 1200).

This great act of worship was prescribed by Allaah so that we might praise Him and glorify Him, and thank Him for His great blessings and bounty. The purpose of Tawaaf around the Ka'bah is not simply to go around these stones! No, rather the reason is that Allaah has commanded us to go around it seven times and we obey Allaah by going around it seven times, no more and no less; rather we do what He has commanded us and we feel that we are His slaves, humbling ourselves before Him and praising Him and thanking Him for choosing us to be His slaves out of all of mankind who worship various gods, and may even worship themselves or their own desires.

The same applies to all the rituals of Hajj, and indeed to all the acts of worship that Allaah has prescribed for us. Praise be to Allaah, Who has honoured us with this great religion.

The religion founded by Muhammad?

Islam is an Arabic word that means submission and surrender to God. In this broad sense, Islam started by start of the universe creation where all God creatures were created with full submission (Islam) to God. Upon start of mankind, they are taught through God prophets to be on full submission (Islam) to God. However, they were given the choice to be on full submission to God or to deny God and deny submission to Him. All prophet missions; including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, was to hold submission (Islam) to the one and only one God, the Creator.

In this sense:

  • Islam per God revelation of Torah to Moses is called Judaism.
  • Islam per God revelation of the bible to Jesus is called Christianity.
  • Islam per God revelation of Quran to Muhammad is called the very name Islam.

Islam religion per Quran revelation to prophet Muhammad began in year 610 AD by God revelation of first verses of Quran to prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel (Jibril). Islam was taught by Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) about 1400 years ago and since then has remained the fastest growing religion. Islam is the only religion in the world with its book preserved in exactly the same way as it was revealed. Islam stands for universal peace and brotherhood. Islam stands for uplift of women and rule of law. Islam maintains that after this life, we will be resurrected and then sentenced to either hell or paradise depending on our deeds in this world.

Islam is a name given by Allah to this religion. Allah (God) says in the Qur'ân:

"Say, `We believe in ALLAH and that which has been revealed to us, and that which was revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and in that which was given to Moses and Jesus and other Prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them and to HIM we submit."

(Qura'n, chapter 3, verse 85)

How long is the qur'an?

AnswerQuran is not human written. Quran is God words per God revelation of Quran to prophet Muhammad through the Angel gabriel (Jibril) that started in year 610 AD and continued through year 632 AD (year of prophet Muhammad death).

The question, as worded, claims Quran is human written and assumes that this is a fact that does need to be questioned but the only question is how long it took to be written. In this sense, it is an offensive question and demonstrates enmity to other faith(s). The question virtually deserves a different answer because Muhammad (pbuh) never composed the holy Quran. Let's see how.

1. Nobody ever could and can write a similar Sura as that of the Quran let alone the entire Quran.

2. He was illiterate. The Quran is so scientific from every branch of science that it is more than impossible for him to write the Quran.

3. Not a single letter of it is distorted whereas the original Bible is extinct and different Christianity has different Bibles.

4. The prophecies of the holy book never proved wrong.

For more information on the proofs of Quran revelation by God, refer to the related link and related question listed below.

Why do Christians reject Muhammad as a true Prophet?

Because Christians don't believe in the Islam religion and if they were to believe in Muhammad they would be Muslim, not Christian.

But if you question why they don't become Muslims, some of them will tell you that they do not believe that Muhammad was a prophet because his moral standard was not very high when you compare it to Jesus.

Also Christians have always believed that Jesus died on the cross and rose to life again on the third day. The Quran, on the contrary, teaches that Jesus did not die on that cross but Allah made it appear as if he did die. This makes a mockery of everything in the Bible and makes a mockery of Allah because Allah is a deceiver who deceived the apostles of Jesus into thinking Jesus had died. This builds an impossible impasse because this makes the god of Muhammad a liar.

And then there is bad media about Islam.

And don't forget the Quran which waffles on and on.

وَإِذَا سَمِعُوا مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ تَرَى أَعْيُنَهُمْ تَفِيضُ مِنَ الدَّمْعِ مِمَّا عَرَفُوا مِنَ الْحَقِّ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا آمَنَّا فَاكْتُبْنَا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ(83)

And when they listen to the revelation received by the Messenger, thou wilt see their eyes overflowing with tears, for they recognise the truth: they pray: "Our Lord! we believe; write us down among the witnesses.
