What is name of the person who put the camel's intestine necklace on the neck of Prophet Muhammad?
Volume 5, Book 58, Number 193:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
While the Prophet was prostrating, surrounded by some of Quraish, 'Uqba bin Abi Mu'ait brought the intestines (i.e. abdominal contents) of a camel and put them over the back of the Prophet. The Prophet did not raise his head, (till) Fatima, came and took it off his back and cursed the one who had done the harm. The Prophet said, "O Allah! Destroy the chiefs of Quraish, Abu Jahl bin Hisham, 'Utba bin Rabi'al, Shaba bin Rabi'a, Umaiya bin Khalaf or Ubai bin Khalaf." (The sub-narrator Shu'ba, is not sure of the last name.) I saw these people killed on the day of Badr battle and thrown in the well except Umaiya or Ubai whose body parts were mutilated but he was not thrown in the well.

Thanks for writing the above answer. Some of the scholars are of the opinion that in the broader sense every true follower of Islam and beloved Prophet Muhammad (May peace and blessings of Allah Karim be upon him) is in a way included in this list because the wives of the holy Prophet Muhammad (May peace and blessings of Allah Karim be upon him) have been declared the Mothers of the Muslims. (Allah Karim Knows the best)

Why is Muhammad leading the nomads important to Islam?
Nomads are like smart phones. Zuckerberg was not around to carry the message through facebook either. It is always wise to depend on wandering nomads as if they are wireless neworks, communicating between whoever they meet, sell camels to, make war with, its just common sense. Muhammad leading the nomads was done to spread the word.
What we use today is just more complicated, and instant. Back then news got around a lot slower but news nevertheless.
Why was Islam not accepted right away and what happend in 622?
Islam came with the oness of Allah "God", that people should worship Allah alone and should not call or worship any other god beside Allah the only creator who deserve to be worshipped.
Arabs at that time had many idols to worship and it was very difficult for them to accept Islam and worship one God only, although the always said that they worship Allah through those idols.
Also, Arabs have great interest in tribal traditions, power, politics, trade, honour... etc. Islam came with justice and equality between people. So heads of tribes did not want to intermingle with the poors and give a way some of their wealth "Zakat" to poor people.
Many other similar reasons prohibited people from embracing Islam right a way, but after time passes and after they discover the mertis and characteristics of Islam the accepted it happly and defend Islam with their wealth and life till today.
Islam flows with Mulims blood and breath. One you know the true Islam, you will never meet anything better.
Which prophet built Masjid Al Aqsa?
Some believe that it was built by prophet Adam and some believe that it was built by prophet Abraham (or Ibrahim); peace be upon them. The saying refered to in the wikipedia that it was bult by the Claiph Umar - Ibn Al Khattib around 680 A.D. is wrong as the Caliph Umar was killed in year 644 AD.
Why was the Islam faith founded?
Peace be un to all sons and daughters of Adam (peace be upon him). Remember there is no compulsion to any one to accept Islam, yet it is in the benefit of truth seeker and honest men and women to study Religions including Islam. Those who accept Islam and die on the faith that "There is no God but one God "Allah, the Father" worthy to be worshiped and that Muhammad is his salve and messenger, and that all past messengers like Moses, Jesus etc are only slaves and prophets and nothing else like lately peoples attributed as son, or daughter of God." are saved from hell fire provided they also submitted their will to Allmighty God in passing their life in a Book way, or messengers way that is the best way in the sight of God. Religion Islam is a final piece-link of chain aimed at driving purpose of guidance for his created mankind from Almighty Allah (The Father in his set Throne in Heavens). In fact all from heaven prophets oriented religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam basically calls for a similar morality of peace in society, modesty, equal economic opportunities, social rules. Therefore the Origins of Judaism and Christianity basically are the earlier piece-links of this chain of guidance from Almighty Allah. Allah (The father) sent prophets like Adam, Novah, Ibrahem, Ishmael, Moses, Christ, Jacob, Issac, Zacheriah and the last and final Muhammad who is from the siblings of Ishmael ( peace be upon them all )who was elder brother of Issac and son of Ibraham. Remember Allah (The Father in Heavens) is unique, one and only, supreme being, the Greatest, most beneficent, the merciful. He forgives sins but he also is Just and after last hour the day of resurrection is a true moment of setting up a judgment day for mankind deeds. He don't need to be 3 in one, or one of three, he don't need to change shapes and come down to earth , stage an shameful death as son t forgive us. If it is not staged and is claimed to be real death the how can a real God die. Allah also gave mankind guidance books revealed unto prophets through a medium of Angel (Gabriel ) such as Torah, Zabur, Ingeil, and Holy Quran. All the books required Security and protection for word to word revealed. But unfortunately except Holy Quran which is intact for word to word since 1400 plus years. No other past holy book (Torah, Zabur, Angeil ) is available which is secured by word to word. In fact available are the numerous versions of bible (old and new testament) which contain partly word of God reported, but mostly are commentaries, twisted conclusions and words of gospels like Paul, Luke etc, and later further altered by man and organizations by their own limited wisdom, wish and will and for limited purpose. Since the original set of guiding rules communicated through the earlier prophets by Allah (the Father) was not available to mankind, and peoples lost sight of one and only God Allah (the Father), the mankind societies corrupted to the extremes, then Allah the merciful again sent last and final messenger Muhammad (Peace be upon him) with the book, Holy Quran which was miraculously protected and saved word to word by his companions by memorization and by materials means. Since 1400 years Quran have a miracle that it can be memorized for a word to word by people of faith. Remember the Muslims belief in one God, Muhammad (peace be upon him) as his slave and last and final prophet. Muslims also do believe in all other prophets reported by Holy Quran and the Bible like Abrahem, Moses, Jesus etc. Muslims also believe in miraculous birth of Jesus and in a virgin Marry ( Marium ). Muslims also believe in true miracles of Jesus given by Almighty Allah such as curing leopards, raising dead from grave by permission of Allah (the Father). Muslims also believe in miracles given to Moses by Allah such as a white lighted hand when comes out of under arm, and throwing his stick causing a big snake. ( peace be upon them all ). There is only God Allah for all the universe, Seven Heavens, all the mankind, all the creation. There cant be different Gods for different communities or social groups. May Allah guide all of us on straight and righteous path and save us from Hell fire and burn there for ever and May Allah enter us into his paradise to be alive for ever and ever in a best state of living.
What are the three facts about the Holy Qur'an?
- First & formost, It's a must for Muslims to believe in all God's Messengers & in the Holy revelations they received from Him. These two beliefs are among the six pillars of faith in Islam & this is assured many times in the Holy Quran itself, example: (The Messenger believeth in what hath been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believeth in Allah, His angels, His books, and His apostles. "We make no distinction (they say) between one and another of His apostles." they say: "We hear, and we obey: (We seek) Thy forgiveness, our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys). Holy Quran, ( 2 : 285).
- Holy books, other than Quran, were subject to many alterations by many people through different periods of time. The original texts of Divine Books, other than Quran, were lost altogether and only their translations exits today. The Quran, on the other hand, exists exactly as it was revealed by God (Allah) to the Prophet; not a word, nay, not a syllable of it, has been changed. "Indeed it is We who have sent down the Quran, and indeed it is Us who shall preserve it." Holy Quran, (15 : 9)
- In the former Divine Books man mixed his words with God's but in the Quran we find only the words of God in their pristine purity. This is admitted even by the opponents of Islam.
- The former Divine Book were sent down in languages which have become extinct long ago. The language of the Quran, on the other hand, is a living language; millions of people speak it, and millions more know and understand it. This is not the same with the other holy books, example: Jesus PBUH spoke Aramaic. From Aramaic, his life-story was translated into Hebrew. From Hebrew it was translated into Greek. ; Then from Greek to Latin, and then finally from Latin to English.
- Each one of the existing sacred Books has been addressed to a particular nation.In contrast to this, the Holy Quran is addressed to all mankind as the message of Islam is universal.
- Each of these holy books contains a number of commands which seem to have been meant for a particular period of history and which meet the needs of that age only.In the same manner, all the commands and recommendations of the Holy Quran can be acted upon at any place and in any age.It's an eternal code for human life.
- There is no other religious scripture on earth which is orally preserved in its original language by so many and over such a period of time. It's being memorised by children & even by non-Arabs & non Arabic-speaking people. The Almighty God says:(And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? ). Holy Quran,(54 : 17).
- Unlike all other Holy books, It's impossible to find any mistake even a slight one in the Holy Quran, It's very accurate & authentic in all fields including language,science, history. On the contrary, you can find scientific facts & corrections rather than errors or contradictions. This is because it's purely Divine & no single letter is man-made.
- Hearing the recited Quran has a very profound effect upon people to a degree makes them shedding tears. This is alone was a reason behind the conversion of many people to Islam even those who don't know Arabic at all.
- The Almighty God has made a challenge when saying:(And if you are in doubt as to what We have revealed to Our slave, then produce a chapter like it). Holy Quran, ( 2 : 23). History tells us about Musailama Alkazzab who had tried to imitate the Holy quran & claimed to be a prophet. What was the result? Simply, his inventions made a fun of him !!
- Messengers were always supported by Divine miracles from God to convey their message ( The same Message of worshiping the only one God with no one associated to him, no partner , no son ..etc). Miracles were of all types but none was a holy book or revelations except the Holy Quran which is the major everlasting miracle of Muhammad PBUH. Muslims believe that among all the holy books only the Holy Quran is ENOUGH for our guidance, exactly like how we don't need another sun for our planet.
- When comparing the contents of the current Holy books & the Holy Quran, you can find that they share many things in common like stories of Messengers.This made non-Muslims claim that the Holy Quran is taken or stolen from these books. The Islamic illustration is simple: All these books are originally from the same Divine source, so no wonder to find similar things. What can totally refute this claim is the differences between them, the following are only examples:
A. ( AWAKE, WHY DO YOU SLEEP, O LORD ? ) [Psalm 4:23]
( GOD: there is no other god besides Him, the Living, the Eternal. Never a moment of unawareness or slumber overtakes Him...)
[Holy Quran 2:255]
B. (God said to Jesus, "You are my son today I have begotten you")
[ Hebrews. 5:5]
( They said, "The Most Gracious has begotten a son"! You have uttered a gross blasphemy. The heavens are about to shatter, the earth is about to tear asunder, and the mountains are about to crumble. Because they claim that the Most Gracious has begotten a son. It is not befitting the Most Gracious that He should beget a son.Every single one in the heavens and the earth is a servant of the Most Gracious. He has encompassed them, and has counted them one by one.All of them will come before Him on the Day of Resurrection as individuals).
Holy Quran,( 19: 88-95)
C. (For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He RESTED, and was REFRESHED"
Exodus ( 31:17)
( We have created the heavens and the earth, and everything between them in six days, and no fatigue touched us).
Holy Quran (50:38)
*. Other differences in the details of the stories, only one example:
- The fate of the Pharaoh who drowned in the Red Sea:
In the Biblical story we would believe that the matter ended when the Pharaoh drowned. But the Quran explains further:When he was drowning the Pharaoh confessed his faith in Allah but it was too late,moreover Allah says:
"This day We shall preserve you in your body, so that you may be a sign for those who come after you. But indeed many of mankind are heedless of Our signs"Holy Quran,(10: 92).
In 1898 the tombs of various pharaohs were discovered in the Valley of the Kings, in Egypt. In 1975 Dr Maurice Bucaille, an eminent French surgeon was allowed to examine the mummified body of the pharaoh who had pursued Moses PBUH.
Dr.Bucaille was astonished by the results of his studies & the facts of the Holy Quran. consequently,he published his book (The Bible,the Quran & the Science) in which he estated that Islam, science and religion have always been "twin sisters".
The question that poses itself, if this verse is never mentioned except in the Holy Quran & that body wasn't discovered in the time of Muhammad (PBUH), then who told Muhammad that ?!!! The only possible answer is (God, the Lord of all creations).
*. Two Arabian prophets other than Muhammad (PBUH) are also only mentioned in the Holy Quran, they are Hud (spelled as who'd) (PBUH) who was sent to an ancient Arabian nation called Aad, which is mentioned as a nation that came after Noah (PBUH) too. It is said that Aad nation lived at the south of Saudi Arabia, nearby Yemen. The other Arabian prophet is Salih( PBUH) who was sent to the nation of Thamud.
Too many things mentioned in the Holy Quran about those two prophets & their nations while there's nothing about them in the other holy books.
The city of Aad is called Iram was thought to be only ' a legend ' but it was discovered then viewed from space by NASA in 1992. All what was discovered was of a complete coincidence to what is revealed in the Holy Quran.
The Almighty God talks about their power, transgress & their punishment in many verses, example:
( Do you not see what your Lord did with 'Ad-Iram of the Columns whose like was not created in any land?)
Holy Quran,( 89:6-8)
Why were merchants in Mecca hostile to Muhammad?
Merchants in Mecca were worried that if the people of Mecca believed that there was only one god (Allah), that they would destroy the 'pagan' idols that attracted so many visitors (essentially, tourists). The merchants made the majority of their money off of the travelers that came to see the idols, and if they were destroyed, the merchants would have to find new ways to make money.

Khutba tul wida of holy prophet Hazrat Muhammad?
Khutbat Al-wadaa or "The Last Sermon" is the last sermon of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon Him.
It is the last public speaking & advice of Him to Muslims since He PBUH had died few months after delivering that impressive sermon. It was delivered in the valley of Mount Arafat (in Macca) on the Ninth day of the Lunar month of pilgrim (Dhul Hijja) on the occasion of the pilgrimage of Muhammad PBUH & His companions & fellows.
It contains much great effective words as all the words of Muhammad, may Allah grant Him with peace & blessings.
What is the real name of Abdul muttalib?
Answer 1
Hashim bin Abd munaaf
Answer 2
"Abdulmuttalib" was the nickname of Shayba ibn Hashim ibn Abdmanaf ibn Qusayy.
He was named Shayba ("elder") because he was born with a streak of white hair amid the black.
He acquired his nickname ("slave of Muttalib") because people mistook him for the slave of his uncle Muttalib.
Is the zaid is also in a count of prophet mohammed son?
No, Mohammed specifically renounced his father/son relationship with Zaid in 627. He taught that children did not really belong to their adoptive parents but only to their biological families. Mohammed remained on friendly terms with Zaid until the latter's death in 629, but Zaid was never again counted as his son.
Mohammed had three biological sons (Qasim, Abdullah and Ibrahim) who all died in infancy. They were the only sons whom Mohammed acknowledged. That is why it was later said, "Mohammed is not the father of any man."
Are the Persians Sunnis or Shiites?
It is worth noting that there is an important distinction between Iranians and Persians. Iran is a country and the nationals of that country are Iranians. Persian is an ethnicity of 70 million people of whom only 50 million are Iranian Persians and the remaining 20 million live in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and numerous other countries like France, Germany, the USA, and Israel. (It is worth noting that Tajiks and Persians are the same ethnic group.) Conversely, there are nearly 30 million Iranian Non-Persians such as Iranian Azeris, Iranian Kurds, Iranian Balochis, Iranian Arabs, Iranian Qashqai, and Iranian Mazandarani, among others.
Answer 2- First it should be identified that nothing now is called Persians. Persians is an old name before the people of Persia convert to Islam. It should said Iranians and not Persians.
- Second, the wide majority of Iranians are Muslims as Shiites. It should emphasized that difference between Sunnis and Shiites is not as; for example; the difference between Catholics and Orthodox. It is just different schools and not as different sects. They are only different in minor side issues that not belonging to main Islam teachings and rules. They both pray the same way, pay the same alms giving (Zakat), fast the same month and the same way, and they go for Hajj in same places and practicing same rituals. They believe in same prophet and recite same holy book.
- One should not give ears to those who are trying to amplify differences among Sunnis and Shiites just to create artificial conflicts that allow them to have control over Islamic countries and to secure control over their resources and to force them to always to be behind progress and development.
How does this Muslim writer view the expansion of Islam?
It would sure help if you resubmitted this question with the name of the Muslim writer you are thinking of.
We only know about Muhammad's life from Islamic Sources. If those sources are to be believed, then Muhammad did live with Khadijah in a monogamous marriage for 25 years, when she died and left him a widower. He did not remarry until after she died.
