The disbelievers who were greater in number also had much more weapons. Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) made dua to Allah Ta’ala to assist the Muslims against the enemy. Allah Ta’ala accepted the dua and sent down thousands of angels to fight on the side of the Muslims. Many Muslims were surprised to see strangers on horsebacks with turbans on their heads fighting on their side. They informed Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) about this. He said to them, “These are angels whom Allah has sent to assist you. The Muslims won this battle through Allah Ta’ala’s help. New word: WahiQUESTIONS LESSON_THREE . Who are the Angels? .

The Injeel (Bible) was revealed to Nabi Eesa (alaihis salaam). . The Quraan was revealed to Nabi Muhammad (saw). _ Besides the above, many other prophets also received revelation. _ One who does not believe in any of the Divine Books is not a Muslim. . The previous Books have been changed and we believe that they no longer are the true and original Books. _ The only Book which has not been changed is the Qur’an, because Allah Ta’ala has protected it from change. 10.The Qur’an is Allah’s Final message to mankind, and must be followed by all.ALLAH PROTECTS THE QUR'AN ALLAH PROTECTS Sth A Jew once visited the famous King Ma’moon. The king invited the Jew to accept Islam but he refused and left the Palace. A year later the same Jew retumed to the king’s palace as a Muslim. The king was surprised and asked the Jew as to why he had finally accepted Islam. The Jew said, “After leaving you, | wrote three copies of the Taurah and made many changes therein. I then sold these copies and they were sold out very quickly. 1 then wrote three copies of the Quran and likewise made many changes therein. I then gave it to the Writers to re-write the changed copies of the Qur’an. tvs realised that Allah Ta’ala does protect the Qur’an and that Islam is a true religion.CY = Ss 05 QUESTIONS LESSON_FOUR .

One who does not believe in the Ambiyaa is not a Muslim. _ Nabi Aadam (alaihis salaam) was the first Nabi of Allah and Nabi Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is the Final Nabi of Allah Ta’ala. _ There is no new Nabi to come now. Whoever claims to be a Nabi after the Final Nabi, is a great liar. . Only Allah Ta’ala chooses a person from His servants to be a Nabi. No one can become a Nabi on his own. _ Ambiyaa are human beings and have human feelings, such as happiness, sadness, pain, hunger, etc. _ Our Nabi, Hazrat Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has the highest position among the Ambiyaa. _ Allah Ta’ala has protected the Ambiyaa from committing sins. 16.THE GREAT LIAR Musailamah visited Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had accepted Islam. When Musailamah returned to his land, he decided to become a prophet. So he wrote a letter to Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) saying, “From now on You and I are going to share the prophethood.” Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had a letter written to him informing him that such a thing was impossible, and that Musailamah must recite the Kalima again to become a Muslim for having made such a claim. However, soon after that, Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) passed away, and now Musailamah said that he alone is the new prophet. Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhi allahu anhu) sent an army to fight Musailamah who was finally killed. He became known as Musailamah, the great liar because he falsely called himself a prophet.QUESTIONS LESSON _ FIVE . What is our belief about the Ambiyaa? .

Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was informed and when he came, he asked “Is Alqama’s mother alive?” The people replied that she was alive. She lived in another part of town. Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sent for her and she came, slowly, leaning upon a stick, for she was very old and weak. Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) asked her, “Tell me about Alqama.” She replied, “Alqama performs much Ibadat, but I am very angry at him because he disobeys me and unfairly favours his wife.” Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) ordered that firewood be gathered at once so that Alqamah be burnt. His mother cried out, “How can you do that!” Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “If you do not forgive your son he shall burn in the Fire of Hell which is hotter than this. She forgave him and he recited the kalima after which he passed away. 21QUESTIONS LESSON_SIX . What is the day, when all life comes to an end, known as? _ Italso has other names. What are they? .

New word: Taqdeer 24WHATEVER MUST HAPPEN WILL HAPPEN A group of friends were travelling when a heavy storm came down, forcing them to take shelter in a cave.

They walked on, until they reached the home of a pious old man. They related their sad story to him and one of them said, if he had not left the cave, he would have been here with us alive.
