6. What is meant by the Miracle of prophets?
Answer:
First of all one must be aware about the term miracle so the term miracle means “a supernatural
event”. In other words 'A miracle is simply an event which is not explicable in any normal way'.
Scientists may think of a 'miracle' as an extraordinary event which have no scientific explanation.
Now the question arises what are the miracles of prophets? A miracle of prophet is something
extraordinary which happened in the favor of prophets and is thought to be when Allah does
something to break all the normal rules and laws of nature. Allah , sometimes ,makes His
prophets show something’s against the usual course which is beyond the capacity of others so
that , on seeing it , people may realize that they have been set by Allah . such acts are called
Mu’jizahas ( miracles) For example the incidence of Ascension {Mi’raj} of Holy Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) is a miracle. This incidence took place and the prophet SAW was
transported from Makkah to Quds. Such incidents always happened with prophets and to have a
firm belief on these miracles is an integral part of our faith.

life of Prophet S.A.W is Pracrical Example for us.
Answer:
The Uswa means example, pattern or way of life. The individual and the collective life of our
Holy prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) both are an excellent pattern for us, and we have to both of
them. Allah (S.W.T) says in Holy Qura’n: “Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad
SAW) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allah and
the Last Day and remembers Allah much” (Surah: Al-Ahzab Verse:21) But, there are some
exceptional acts and characteristics which are associated with our Holy prophet Muhammad
(S.A.W) and we never follow these for example, keeping 9 wives at a time in Nikah, obligation
(farziyyat) of Tahajjud prayer, Fasting without any break (soam-e-wisaal) seeing of Allah
(S.W.T) in this life etc……… Beside these exceptional cases the whole life of our Holy
Pprophet Muhammad (S.A.W) is good example for every Muslim to success in this life and in
hereafter.
10. If HAZRAT MUHAMMAD(SAW)was just like a normal human, with no extra
ordinary things then why ALLAH made him(SAW) a messenger and not someone other?
Answer:
It is a fact without a doubt that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), like all the other prophets was a
human and a mortal. The prophets frequently stated, and proved with their acts, that they were
mortals like everybody, that they would be held responsible for their acts of worship and for all
orders given to them by Allah, that they had no immunity, that they had no freedom or choice to
act against the orders of Allah which they conveyed to the people, rather that they abstained from
such acts and sought shelter in Allah. To those who were baffled by the fact that a human was
sent as a prophet, Allah reminded the people that the previous prophets who had been sent to the
people had been mortals who had fathered children, ate and drank, and walked in the markets
among the people and Allah explained that they should not see this as being unusual. He could
have sent them prophets who were angels, yet even if angels had been sent, people would still
think in a similar way and be amazed and confused. Allah depicts and eternalizes his humane
and compassionate identity in the following words: "Now hath come unto you an Messenger
from amongst yourselves: it grieves him that ye should perish: ardently anxious is he over you:
to the Believers is he most kind and merciful, but if they turn away, Say: "(Allah) sufficeth me"
(Al-Tauba, 9/128). "Thou wouldst only, perchance, fret thyself to death, following after them, in
grief, if they believe not in this Message" (Al-Kahf, 18/6).
11. What is the difference between "NABUWAT" and "RISALAT"?
Answer:
Difference between "NABUWAT" and "RISALAT"is as difference between "Nabee" and
"Rasool". Different Scholars have different point of views about this. I quote you a great scholar
Imam Fakhruddeen Raazi who has explained the differences between a Rasool (prophet) and a
Nabi (messenger).He says: A Rasool is one who has performed miracles and has received a new
Divine book. He establishes a new code of law (Shar'iah) and cancels the previous code of law
and book. He has also visibly seen the angel that comes with the Divine message, and the Rasool
is commanded to invite the people towards the Deen. A Nabi is one who is not given a new
book, but rather establishes the book which was revealed to the Rasool before him. He does not
cancel the book and the code of law which was in trend before him. He sees the angel in a dream
or the Rasool of the time informs him that he has been chosen as a Nabi. “(Tafseer Mafaateehul
Ghayb known as (Tafseer e Kabeer le Imam Razi) V23 p43

Answer:
In brief, Muhammad (Peace be upon him) was born in a noble tribe of Mecca in Arabia in the
year 570 AD. His ancestry goes back to Prophet Ishmael (P), son of Prophet Abraham (P). His
father died before his birth and his mother died when he was six. He did not attend a formal
school since he was raised first by a nurse as it was the custom those days, and then by his
grandfather and uncle.But all kind of knowledge was given to him from Allah Subhanho wa
Taala. As a young man, he was known as a righteous person who used to meditate in a cave. At
age 40, he was given the prophet hood when the angel, Gabriel, appeared in the cave.
Subsequently, the revelations came over 23 years and were compiled in the form of a book called
the Qur’an which is the final and the last word of God. The Quran has been preserved,
unchanged, in its original form and confirms the truth in the Torah, the psalms and the Gospel.

21. Do Muslims have many sects?
Answer:
"The Jews have been split up into seventy one sects, the Christians into seventy –two sects, and
the Muslims will be split up into seventy –three sects" (jami, at –Tirmidhi.) In this connection it
may be mentioned that in Arabian usage the number 70 very often stands for "many," and does
not necessarily denote that actual, arithmetical figure. So the Prophet obviously intended to say
that the sects and divisions among the Muslims would be in many numbers, even more than
those among the Jews and Christians. But it should be reminded that purpose of this statement is
to discourage the sectarianism and to show that it is from signs of nearing of the Day of
Judgment.
22. What is Jihad?
Answer:
The word "Jihad" means struggle, or to be specific, striving in the cause of God. Any struggle
done in day-to-day life to please God can be considered Jihad. One of the highest levels of Jihad
is to stand up to a tyrant and speak a word of truth. Control of the self from wrong doings is also
a great Jihad. One of the forms of Jihad is to take up arms in defense of Islam or a Muslim
country when Islam is attacked. This kind of Jihad has to be declared by the religious leadership
or by a Muslim head of state that is following the Qur’an and Sunnah.
