ISLAMIC STUDIES

Quiz No.1 What are the Sources of Islam?

There are two basic sources of Islam
 QURAN (BOOK OF ALLAH)
 HADITH (PRACTICES OF THE HOLY PROPHET PBUH )

1. QURAN
The Quran is the holy book which Muslims recite and turn to for guidance in
all aspects of their life.

The primary thing to comprehend about the Quran is its structure. The Arabic word, 'Quran,' in a
real sense implies both 'recitation' and 'perusing'. Essentially, the Quran was both discussed
orally and recorded in book structure. The genuine force of the Quran stays in the oral recitation,
as it is intended to be perused resoundingly and pleasantly, yet at the same time, the sections
were recorded on accessible materials as a guide to remembering and guarding it, and these were
gathered and requested in book structure both secretly and, at a later stage, institutionally. The
Quran was not intended to recount an ordered story, and consequently, the Quran ought be seen
as a consecutive account like the book of Genesis. The Arabic book that passes by the name
Quran is probably as long as the New Testament. In many releases, it is around 600 pages long.

Rather than the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, the Quran was given from the mouth of a
solitary individual, who recounted what he heard from the holy messenger Gabriel. Then again,
both the Jewish and the Christian sacred texts are assortments of numerous books that were
recorded by an enormous number of individuals, and sentiments contrast regarding their status as
a disclosure.
Muhammad (PBUH) was extremely cautious in saving the whole Quran in composed structure
too. The Prophet (PBUH) couldn't peruse or compose, so when a bit of the Quran was
uncovered, he called upon his copyists to record the uncovered content. The Prophet (PBUH)
indicated the piece of the Quran the disclosure had a place with and had the colleagues perused
back what was composed to guarantee that it compared precisely with what was uncovered.
Subsequently, the total Quran was not just retained by the Prophet (PBUH) and a considerable
lot of his associates, yet in addition existed in composed structure during his lifetime. Inside a
year after the Prophet's (PBUH) passing, an original copy of the whole Quran was collected by
an advisory group drove by the main copyist of the Prophet (PBUH), who followed tough rules
to protect against any blunders. The composition was collectively endorsed by the mates of the
Prophet (PBUH), including the hundreds that had retained the whole Quran. A few imitate of the
original copy were arranged under the initiative of the third caliph and were disseminated to the
principle Muslim focuses.

2. HADITH

The hadiths, or adages of the Prophet, which were generally ordered soon after Prophet
Muhammad's (PBUH) demise, give a bigger story to the occasions in his day to day existence (in
spite of the fact that there is critical discussion in the Muslim world with regards to which
Hadiths are precise).

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was brought into the world in 570 C.E. in Mecca, and his initial
life was unexceptional. He (PBUH) wedded a widow named Khadija who was 15 years more
established and his boss. Around 610 C.E., Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had his first strict
experience, where he was told to present by the Angel Gabriel. After a time of reflection and self
question Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) acknowledged his job as God's prophet and lectured
expression of the one God, or Allah in Arabic. His first believer was his significant other.

Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) heavenly recitations structure the Qur'an and are coordinated into
books (Surahs) and sections (Ayat). Since these disclosures zeroed in on a type of monotheism
thought about taking steps to Mecca's decision clan (the Quraysh), which Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH) was a piece of, the early Muslims confronted critical abuse. Ultimately in 622, Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) and his adherents escaped Mecca for the city of Yathrib, which is known as
Medina today, where his local area was invited. This occasion is known as the Hijra or
migration. 622, the time of the Hijra (A.H.), marks the start of the Muslim schedule, which is as
yet being used today.

As most Muslims know, the existence illustration of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the
reason for the convictions and laws of Islam. His platitudes, activities, and articulations are a
wellspring of direction for the devotees. The SahaabahKiraam themselves (R.A) retained every
single page of the existence of the Prophet (PBUH) standing and sitting, voyaging and living at
home. From the states of his family life to the political and monetary laws he set up, there is no
occurrence from the existence of the Prophet (PBUH) then again, actually, the Companions
(R.A) observed it and safeguarded its recognition some by unadulterated memory and others by
recording it. After them, the Taabi'een and their adherents proceeded with this interaction of
remembering and accumulating the hadeeth to the point that constantly century Hijri, the
distribution of whole books and compositions of hadeeth was far and wide. It is a result of those
occasions that Muslims today have an image of the whole lifestyle of the Prophet (PBUH) spread
out for them.
