Did the people of mecca treated prophet mohammed?

The people of Mecca treated the Prophet Muhammad badly, then he was ordered by ( Almighty God ) to migrate to Al madina where Islam was established widely and scattered all over the world.

Was Mohammad circumcised?

No he was not.

a reason for Islam circumcision is "to be like Muhammad, who was 'born circumcised'". This can easily be refuted: if the Prophet was born without a foreskin (aposthetic), he was not circumcised, and that is the way to be like him.

Like Judaism, Islam forbids disfiguring the body:

There is no mention made as to the circumcision of Mohammad anywhere. And the community of which he was a part did not circumcise.

Answer II

Molana Safi UlRehman Mubarikpuri has cited different references in his famous book Alrahiq Ulmakhtoom that Prophet Muhammad pbuh was circumcised on 7th day after his birth , reference ibne Hisham1 / 159 ,160 .

Alrahiqal Makhtoom, pp 83 Urdu edition .

Was the prophets Muhammed's grandfather a Muslim?

Thank you, but what was his belief? Was he a Christian, Pagan, Jew? Some say that Mohammed was brought up with Jews, and that Islam is really the perfection of Judaism. But what IS known about Mohammed's Grandfather - or where can I find out?

How old was Prophet Muhammad when Abu Talib died?

He was 49, but this is probably counting in lunar years.

Modern historians have suggested that Muhammad was born in April 571, and therefore he was only 48 when Abu Talib died in late 619.

Why do Muslims eat only halal?

Answer 1

"Halal" just means "permitted" as "haram" means "forbidden." For many things and actions there are three degrees between: "encouraged," "neutral" and "discouraged."

But perhaps the question is about WHY some things should be halal and others not. This is more difficult. From a time too distant to account, certain foods have been avoided by both Jews and Arabs. Pork is the best known forbidden food, but there are others. In practice, halal is the same as kosher. In fact, before there were halal butcher shops, Muslims simply shopped kosher.

Was it a question of sanitation (pigs do carry human diseases)? Or were swine once sacred animals, too holy to be eaten, as cows are to the Hindus? Or was it just a matter of distinguishing one people from their neighbors. All these viewpoints have their advocates.

Probably the truest answer, though not the most satisfying, is, "Because it's our tradition."

Commentary on Answer 1

"Halal" and "Kosher" are not synonymous. The process of Islamic Slaughter (Dhabiha) and Jewish Slaughter (Shechita) are different in their specifics, making Halal meat not-Kosher. Additionally while Judaism prohibits shellfish and other marine invertebrates, only the Sunni Hanafi School follows these prohibitions. Additionally, Islam prohibits alcohol, which is permitted in Judaism.

What happens if you draw Prophet Muhammad or Allah?

Depends on how you draw his picture. Iran is a country with Shiite Muslim population and their religion sect, it is not considered wrong to draw Muhammed or Allah as long it is a normal picture or a picture to show a part of his life or his beauty. If the picture is insulting like the ones drawn in Denmark there will most probably be an uproar by the Muslims all over the world. But then what can you do? The people are brainwashed into believing that whoever insults Islam must be killed. It's a sad world.

What is the age of Aisha when Prophet Muhammad died?

Answer A

Between 18 to 20 . See link 1

Answer BAisha_was_19_years_old_when_the_prophet_pbuh_married_her._Some_say_16_years_old,_other_say_something_else.">An authentic hadith says that Aisha was 19 years old when the prophet pbuh married her. Some say 16 years old, other say something else. But you must know that in the time of the prophet pbuh there was no year counting like we have now (2008 A.C. or 1429 A.H.)

I give you an example.

If we asked people (of his time) "when was Muhammad pbuh born?", the people would not say 570, or 50 B.H. No, they would say: " he was born in the year of the Elephants."

But when was the year of the Elephants?, well (he says), That was after blablabla and I remember this event.

And you will ask somebody else. he will answer the same: year of Oliphants, but he will give you another timeline and events.

So you get confused!.

The only thing that you can do, is saying it was between this major event, and that major event. And if we translate this into "years" we get periods of 10 or more years.

So that it is why we do not know for sure at wich age Aisha married with the prophet pbuh. But the haters of Islam choose always the lowest, or even lower.

Answer C

  • Prophet Muhammad consummation with Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was when she was nineteen years old and this was in the year 2 A.H.. Betrothal having taken place five years earlier.
  • When her father, Abu Bakr, was approached on behalf of the Prophet, he replied that the girl had already been betrothed to some one called Jubair, and that he would have to settle the matter first with him. This shows that Aisha must have been approaching majority at the time.
  • Although, in some historical Islamic books, it was mentioned that Aisha betrothal was at age 6 and marriage was at age 9, evidences and historical analysis proved that these information is not authentic and is not correct.

Answer D: Source Material:

Several Hadiths quite clearly disaree with the above analysis and show that Aisha married Aisha at the age of 6 and consummated the marriage at age 9.

  • Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64: Narrated by 'Aisha
That the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e., till his death).
  • Volume 7, Book 62, Number 65: Narrated by 'Aisha
That the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, Hisham said: I have been informed that 'Aisha remained with the Prophet for nine years (i.e. till his death)." What you know of the Quran (by heart)'
  • Volume 7, Book 62, Number 88: Narrated by 'Ursa
The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).
  • Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234: Narrated by 'Aisha
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became Allright, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and a good luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age.
  • Volume 5, Book 58, Number 236: Narrated by Hisham's father
Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he married 'Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consumed that marriage when she was nine years old.
  • Sahih Bukhari

Answer E: Comment on Answer D above

It is important to emphasize that at the prophet time there was no accurate recordings of ages. So, all what is narrated are coming from one source and are based on guessing and rough estimation. So, the only way is to validate the different narrations and judge on their authenticities and not to rely only on narrations. That is why one is kindly invited to refer to the referred link and judge with you mind especially that; as mentioned above in Answer C; that when father of Aisha , Abu Bakr, was approached on behalf of the Prophet, he replied that the girl had already been betrothed to some one called Jubair, and that he would have to settle the matter first with him. This shows that Aisha must have been approaching majority at the time.

Answer F

The suggestion that the seventh-century Arabs could not track time accurately is misleading. They did not have modern astronomy, but the Arab biographies of Tabari and Ibn Saad give the age at death of nearly everyone. If nearly all Arabs knew their age to the nearest year, and if many people knew their age to the month, this shows that the Arabs generally thought in numerical categories. If they had not had a more or less accurate calendar and known their own ages, this information would simply be missing from their biographies.

Aisha was unusually good at arithmetic (Ibn Saad vol. 8, Bewley's translation p. 47), so there is no reason why she would not have known her age. She told her nephew Urwa that she was born "at the beginning of the fourth year" (Ibn Saad vol. 8, Bewley's translation p. 55). This was the year that began on 25 October 613. If Aisha knew the time of year, she is unlikely to have been wrong about the year itself. Incidentally, this tradition comes to us via Urwa's servant Habib, not via his son Hisham, so the objections that people sometimes make to Hisham (spurious though they are) do not apply in this case.

Modern suggestions that Aisha was significantly older than nine usually come from nice people who oppose child-marriage. However, their arguments are not convincing to Muslim scholars. Sheikh Gibril F. Haddad has refuted most of their arguments (google for him at Sunni Path).

One correction to answer C: the sources say that Muhammad contracted marriage with Aisha in 3BH and consummated the marriage in 1AH (Ibn Saad vol. 8, Bewley's translation p. 43; Tabari, Poonawala's translation, vol. 9 p. 131; Tabari, Landau-Tasseron's translation, vol. 39 p. 171). This was three years later, not five. Remember, there is no such year as 0! The calendar jumps straight from 1BH to 1AH. Shawwal 3BH equates to May or June 620; Shawwal 1AH is April or May 623.

As for the fact that Aisha was engaged to someone else before she married Muhammad (Tabari, Poonawala's translation, vol. 9 pp. 129-130): this proves that she had been born but it does not prove she was any particular age. In Arabia (as in nearly everywhere else in the world) it was commonplace to arrange marriages for infants. The earlier a child's marriage could be arranged, the safer his or her future prospects. Since Aisha's father was wealthy, it is not at all surprising that one of the neighbours raced to secure Aisha as a bride while she was still in her cradle. However, in this case the engagement was informal and not a binding marriage.

Common sense shows that Aisha could not have been as old as 19 or even 16 when she married Muhammad. She was playing on a swing when she was called away for her wedding (Ibn Majah 3:1876; Tabari, Poonawala's translation, vol. 9 p. 131). She played with dolls for years after her marriage (Bukhari 8:73:151; Muslim 8:3311; Muslim 31:5981; Ibn Saad vol. 8, Bewley's translation pp. 43, 44). She could read but she could not write (Baladhuri, Murgotten's translation vol. 2 p. 272), suggesting that her education had been interrupted. When she was first married she could not cook (Nasa'i al-Kubra vol. 16 #8917; Bukhari 3:48:829). She had not begun to menstruate as late as July 628 (Bukhari 3:48:805; Bukhari 3:48:829; Bukhari 8:73:151; Muslim 4:1940) but she afterwards developed a normal cycle (Bukhari's Mufrad 6:66:120 � and much other evidence, too boring to list here). If she had been 19 in 623, that would make her nearly 25 when she reached puberty, which is definitely not normal.

Answer G

I wonder about all the debates above about Aisha age when got married to the prophet. It is enough to mention that she was engaged to someone else (polytheist) before got married to the prophet. The other point is that one should refer to the cultures of the Arabs at that time and what was the usual age for girls marriage. The third point is that what are the motivations behind non Muslims to be so propagating their views against Islam religion and against their prophet.

What languages are spoken by Muslims?

Prophet Muhammad (saw) spoke Arabic.

.
Arabic
Muhammad (PBUH) spoke in Arabic, one which differs slightly from the modern Arabic spoken today.
The Prophet Muhammad spoke Fus'ha Arabic, which is the type of Arabic that the Qur'an is written in.

Weather or not the above answer is true or false doesn't matter because whatever language Muhammad (PBUH) spoke wasn't what Jibril (Gabriel) spoke because Muhammad (PBUH) was unlearned in the language of The Holy Qur'an.
Prophet Mohammed (peace upon him) spoke Arabic.

What surah in the Quran is prophet Ibrahim mentioned?

In many verses (surahs) prophet, Adam peace upon him, is mentioned:

  1. Albaqara, 31-37
  2. Al-Omran, 33, 59
  3. Al-Maeda 27, 31,52
  4. Al-Israa, 61, 70
  5. Al-Kahf, 50
  6. Maryam, 58
  7. Taha, 115-117, 120-121
  8. Yasin, 60

If Muslims don't believe in Allah are they still a Muslim?

Prayer is one of the five pillars of Islam. If one doesn't pray, you have to ask another question. Is this person not praying out of disbelief or laziness? If one doesn't pray because they don't believe prayer is necessary, then they are not considered Muslim. If one doesn't pray because they are lazy, they are considered sinners. However, they are not out of the realm of Islam.

Any sin can be forgiven by God with the exception of disbelief.

Why Muhammad is considered to be the last prophet?

Answer 1

Muhammad s.a.w

Answer 2

The answer depends entirely on the religion:

  • The Jews believe that the last prophet was Malachi in the Old Testament.
  • Mainstream Christianity believes John the Baptist to be the last prophet since as Jesus was God himself, he could not be a prophet.
  • Mainstream Islam believes Mohammed to be the last prophet.
  • The Baha'i believe that Baha'ullah was the last prophet.
  • The Ahmadiyya believe it to be Ahmed Mirza Ghulam.
  • The last prophet of Church of God and Saints of Christ was William S. Crowdy.
  • The Mormons continue to receive Divine Revelation through the President of the Church of Latter Day Saints. Their current President is Thomas S. Manson and his predecessor was Gordon B. Hickley who passed away on January 27, 2008.

The list could go on...but all of these religions believe that these prophets (who are the last prophet according to them) received revelations from the singular Monotheistic God.

Another answer:

The existence of the "last prophet" necessitates that the time of man's rule on earth be at its end... as far as Bible prophecy is concerned. But according to prophecy, there will be TWO "last prophets" just before Jesus returns; not ONE:

"...I will permit My TWO WITNESSES, clothed in sackcloth, TO PROPHESY for one thousand, two hundred and sixty days [three-and-a-half years]." (Rev.11:3 WNT William's New Testament)

A study of this chapter in the chronologically written book of Revelation reveals that Jesus Christ returns "three-and-a-half DAYS" after they are killed, following their witnessing, prophesying and testimony against man's rule on earth. The "seventh angel" sounds his "trumpet" [the last trump, which heralds the time of the LORD's return - see I Cor.15:52]. And then, these Two Last Prophets resurrect from the dead [in Christ]... and MAN'S RULE ON EARTH COMES TO ITS END:

"...there were loud voices shouting from heaven: 'The whole world has now become the Kingdom of our LORD and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.'" (Rev.11:15 NLT New Living Translation)

After that... there will be no need for any more prophets, because the Knowledge of the LORD will be common knowledge among all the nations:

"...they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their family, saying, 'You should know the LORD.' For everyone, from the least to the greatest will already know Me." (Heb.8:11 NLT)

The "last prophet" will be TWO of them; THE TWO WITNESSES!

Did the Muslims' win the battle against the mecans?

After fleeing Mecca for Medina, Muhammad faced a Meccan force bent on destroying the city along with the so called "Prophet." Muhammad took shelter in Medina, knowing that if they faced the soldiers of Mecca in one on one battle they would lose. He knew that the enemy would have to attack from the northwest, and also knew that Medina was protected on three sides by lava flows. Muhammad then made trenches against the exposed area, and one by one took down any enemy soldier who tried to cross. The enemy soon made a retreat, giving Muhammad victory in the Battle at Medina.

How is the prophet muhammad related to ishmael?

The prophet Mohammad is a descendant of Abraham son Ishmael.

What were the names of prophet Ayub's daughters?

Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), peace be upon, married first with Sarah and then married with Hagar (Sarah former Egyptian servant). He had, according to Genesis 25, a third wife called Keturah.

In both the Jewish and Islam religions, Ibrahim is referred to as "our Father". For Jews and Christians this is through his son Isaac by his wife Sarah; for Muslims, he is a prophet of Islam ancestor of Muhammad through his other son Ismael (Ishmael) born to him by his second wife Hagar (former Sarah's servant).

Through Keturah He is an ancestor of Baha'u'llah, the Prophet-Founder of the fourth "Abrahamic" faith.

How many daughters does Prophet Muhammad have?

Some believe Prophet Muhammad (peace upom him) had four daughters; namely Umm Kulthum, Ruqayah, Zainab, and Fatimah bint Muhammad.

But a large percentage of Muslims also believe he only had one, namely Fatima.

Looking from a mathematical and physiological perspective, it is unlikely he fathered more daughters after Fatima.

Why did muhammad preach tolerance?

According to Islam, Mohammed preached tolerance because it was God's will that he do so, in order to promote goodwill between men.

However, if we examine this critically, we note that most of Mohammed's exhortations to tolerance come from the Meccan period, when Muslims were not in power as opposed to the Medinan period, when Muslims were in power. Therefore, it is likely that Mohammed was preaching tolerance for self-interest, i.e. Mohammed wanted the majority of non-Muslim Meccans to tolerate him.

What was the name of prophet mohammed's wet nurse?

The Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) wet-nurse was called Halimah bint Abi Dhuayb.

How did Muhammad encourage people to treat each other?

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) called people of Mecca to prevent themselves from worshiping Idols as partners to Allah (God) and to worship the one and only one God (Allah) with no partner, no father, no son, no companion, and no resemblance and to believe in Muhammad as His prophet and messenger.

and after he was rejected from Mekkah and resided in Medinah he changed 180 degrees and the last teachings of his abrograte the misleading "softer" verses of Mekkah.

People of Mecca were idol worshippers. They wer plunged into the darknss of ignorance. They were drunkards, gamblers, cheaters and superstitious. They buried their daughters alive and had no respect for women. They exploited the poor and the weak. They followed no rule. Their motto was, "Might is right."

When the last Prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) preached the message of Almighty Allah inviting the Meccans to worship only One Almighty Allah, to be honest, truthful, fair, and straightforward in their dealings, they turned against him. They were not ready to change their traditions, culture and the power over the poor and the slaves. They felt a threat.
