Q         All revealed books were sent by God. What in your opinion makes the Quran
unique?                                                                                  [4-N-14-2058/22]

Books of Allah contain the messages which Allah gave to humanity through his prophets. The purpose was to provide guidance to human beings so that they should not be having any argument on the Day of Judgment that they did not receive guidance from Allah. It is generally believed that it was angel Jibreel who brought all the Books to the prophets.

We learn from the Quran about the scriptures and Books given to:
Scriptures to Ibrahim (as)
Tauraat or Torah to Musa (as)
Zuboor or psalm to Dawood (as)
Injeel or Gospel to Essa (as)
The final Book, the Quran, was given to Mohammad (saw).

It is possible that more written instructions were given to the other prophets but we do not find their names in Quran.

All the Books of Allah contain the same message that a person is to believe in the unity of Allah and avoid Shirk and to believe that all humans are answerable to Allah on the Day of Judgment. A Muslim must believe in all the Prophets and Prophet Mohammad (sw) as the last prophet of Allah.

The holy Quran proves that Salat or prayers, Saum or fasting and Zakaat or alms-giving was obligatory upon all nations. However the method might be different. The basic human rights and respect was also the same. For example respect of parents and other human beings was a common teaching. Lawful and unlawful (halaal and haraam) was also common. Drinking wine, eating swine, gambling, taking interest or Riba and crimes against humanity like murder were unlawful according to the teachings of all the books.
A H S A N N A Q V I
Scriptures of Ibrahim (as) and the other scriptures were given to the prophets of their nations. Toraat, Zuboor and Injeel were sent to Bani Israeel who were the descendants of Ibrahim and Ishaaq (as). We also believe that Injeel that was given to Essa (as) was following the law (Shariah) given by Toraat that was given to Musa (as).

The holy Quran is the most authentic Book of Allah. The other Books have either been changed or amended by human beings. Quran was preserved within one year of the death of the Prophet (saw). It is the original word of God in living Arabic language. The language of the Quran is of a level that it is impossible to translate Quran in its exact sense. Quran addresses and presents solutions to all problems for the entire humanity. Its teachings are applicable to every period of time.
“This is a glorious Quran, in a Tablet preserved” (Al Buruj)
"We have revealed this (Quran) and We will preserve it". (The Quran)

    arabic stories for kids

    A story that introduces children to the role of the mother and her different tasks in a simple and wonderful picture
    Our beloved prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) said: “Whoever reads one letter from the Book of Allah will earn one reward thereby. One reward is equal to ten rewards the like of it. I do not say that Alif-Lam-Meem is a letter, but Alif is a letter, Lam is a letter and Meem is a letter.” [Tirmidhi]

The immediate reason was the caravan of Abu Sufyan which was coming back from Syria. Quresh thought the Muslims were going to attack the Caravan.

The Revelation of Quran to the Prophet (saw) between 610-632

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. Khadija (ra), ten blessed companions and some other companions became Muslim during this time. After three years, he was commanded to preach openly. The pagans of Makkah opposed him. This continued for ten years and in 622 he migrated to Madina. The Suras revealed in Makkah are called Makki Suras. These Suras are short. They emphasize on believing in one Allah, not worshipping false gods. They emphasize in believing in the Hereafter and following the way of God in this world. The lang

Early life of Prophet (sw) until first revelation

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
