QURAN-KALAM ALLAH

Q       What do Muslims mean when they call the Quran Kalam Allah. [10-J-99]

It means that Muslims have a firm belief that the holy Quran is the real Book of Allah. Unlike Torat, Injeel and Zuboor which are amended and corrupted by human beings, Quran is in its purest form. It was preserved in the book form within a few months of the death of the Prophet Mohammad (saw). All prominent companions were alive and the Quran was also safe in scattered writing. Muslims have Ijma that there is no change in the Quran. Allah says in the Quran:
"We have revealed this and We will preserve it".
Allah challenged Arabs who were proud of their command over their language to make only one Sura like that of Quran and they failed. This shows that it was not a human speech but it was divine.

The pagans of Makkah used to stop people listening to the Quran and called Mohammad (saw) magician because the Quran would change the person completely. A good example is the conversion of Umar (ra) and it was the marvel of the language of the Quran. Quran is still in the same Arabic language which is spoken and understood by millions of Arabs. Since the day of its revelations, Quran is remembered by people. All the old explanations of the Quran are available. This is only a miracle that even children memorize the whole Quran.
Therefore Allah says in the Sura Al Baqarah:
“This is the Book in which there is no doubt”.

The Revelation of Quran to the Prophet (saw) between 610-632 Q         Write an account of the ways in which the Quran was revealed to the Prophet (saw) between the years 610 and 632.                                           [10-N-09] In 610, the holy prophet (saw) was forty years old when the first revelation of Sura Al Alaq was brought to him by Jibreel (as) in the cave of Hira. Soon, he started receiving more revelations. For the first three years he preached those who were close to him.

Life in Makkah-570-622 AD - his early life Q         Write about the life of the Prophet (saw) up until the first Revelation. [10-J-10] Q         Give an account of the Prophet’s life up to the time the revelations began. [10-Nov 14-2058/11] Mohammad (saw) was born in 571 AD in Makkah in the family of Banu Hashim of the tribe of Quresh. This year was also known as the year of elephants because in this year the king of Yemen, Abraha, attacked Makkah with the intention to destroy the holy Kaaba along with an army of elephants. He failed because Allah sent small birds with stones in their feet and beaks which destroyed the army. It was a very historic event in the history of Arabs. Quran reminds this event in Sura Al Feel (elephants). His father’s name was Abdullah and his mother was Amina. His grand-father was Abdul Muttalib who was a highly respected person of makkah. He had ten sons. Abdullah was the youngest son and a very handsome man. He married to Amina who was
