HERE IS A SINGLE ANSWER FOR ALL QUESTIONS

What is the difference between Rasool and Nabi ?
After knowing the terminological meanings of Rasul and Nabi, it is also important to understand the difference of these two great positions.
The Quran has used both the words, Nabi and Rasul, which shows that there were two kinds of messengers.

1. Some of the messengers were Nabi only.
2. Some messengers were both Nabi and Rasool.

The difference between Rasul and Nabi is that,

1. A Rasul was a messenger of Allah who was given a new Shariat (codes of law) from Him. And a Nabi was also the messenger of Allah, but he was not given any new Shariat and followed the shariat of earlier Rasul. Sheikh Mufid, a great scholar of Islam writes in his book, Awa’il al-Maqalat, “every messenger is a prophet [Nabi], but not every Prophet is a Rasul [Apostle]. All Rasules were Nabi but all Nabis were not Rasuls.
2. A Prophet is always a Nabi by birth, but a prophet become Rasul when he officially receives the post and declares it. For example, our Prophet Muhammad (sws) was Nabi by birth, but became Rasul when he officially got and delivered the message of Risalat at the age of 40.
3. The Rasul [Apostle] receives the message from Allah Taala in many different manners such as, vision during sleep, direct communication with angels when he is awake. i.e., he can see and speak to the angels during communication of Divine message. But the Nabi [prophet] differs from the Rasul in that he does not see the angels when
   awake but sees during sleep.
4. The Rasul is higher in rank than a Nabi.

Out of 25 Prophets mentioned in the Holy Quran, or among 124000 Nabis, Five were Rasul, and are called Ulu l-azm prophets, meaning those who possess a quality of determination and firmness.

The five Rasuls and Ulul-azm Prophets are:
1 - Hazrat Nooh (as)
2 - Hazrat Ibrahim (as)
3 - Hazrat Musa (as)
4 - Hazrat Isa (as)
5 - Hazrat Muhammad (sws)

• Prophet Nooh(as) was given a Shari’ah which was followed by other prophets up to the time of Hazrat Ibrahim(as).
• Prophet Ibrahim(as) was given a Shari’ah which remained in force up to the time of Hazrat Musa. i.e., Hazrat Yaqub, Hazrat Lut, Hazrat Yousuf (as) etc. followed the Shariat of Ibrahim.
• Prophet Musa(as) was given a new Shari’ah which was followed by all the prophets of Bani Israel until the time of Hazrat Isa (as).
• Prophet Isa (as) was given a new Shariat which remained in force upto the time of the Holy Prophet.
• Prophet Muhammad (sws) was given the last and the most perfect Shariat which will remain in force up to the last working day of the world.

The Shariat -e- Muhammadi can never be changed as Prophet Muhammed (sws) is the last prophet and no prophet will come after him. Our Prophet, Hazrat Muhammad (sws) has the highest position and rank among all the Prophets.

Sir, thank you so much for the detailed reply. I was wondering, isn't Hazrat Daud also a Rasul? As he received the Zabur. That's my main point of confusion

Q J2006/P2
Give a brief explanation of the importance of each of the following in Muslim
beliefs and practices in relation to the hajj:
(i) the Ka`ba
(ii) ihram
(iii) `Arafat
(iv) `Id al-Adha.

^ Help with this required :/

Answer: The Kaabah:
The original foundations of the Holy Kaabah were laid by the angels who were the first one to construct it. It was later rebuild for the second time by Hazrat Adam (A.S) to whom the angels pointed out the exact location for the rebuilding of the sacred house. The third time it was reconstructed by Prophet Ibrahim (A.S) and Hazrat Ismail (A.S) from the place which was known as Maqam e-Ibrahim. The Holy Kaabah stand in the centre of the Holy city Makkah (Bakkah), it is 45 feet high, 33 feet wide and 59 feet long. The Kaabah was the first house of worship as the Holy Quran says: “The first house of worship appointed for man was that at Bakkah (Makkah) full of blessings and guidance for all” (3:96)
It is also called Bait Ullah and Bait Ul-Atique. It was reconstructed and restored by Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) at the age of 35 before becoming Prophet. The Holy Kaabah is the focal point for all the Muslims from all parts of the world to perform the Salah in the direction of the Holy Kaabah. During the Hajj the Muslim begins with the
‘Tawaf-e-Qudoom’ that is seven rounds around Holy Kaabah. During this circumnutating the Muslims kiss the black stone known as Hajr-e-Aswad as they passed it following Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) example. If the Tawaf is performed with true devotion to Allah (S.W.T) the most high it infuses in man a deep since of humility and inclemency him to render obedience to its creator. As Allah (S.W.T) the most high commands man to circumnutates the Holy Kaabah in chapter number. 22 verse number. 29: “Then let them complete the prescribed duties (Manâsik of Hajj) for them, and perform their vows, and circumambulate the Ancient House (the Kaabah at Makkah).”
b) Ihram:
Ihram is a state of purity and it refers to two sheets of unstitched white clothes while for women, Ihram is their ordinary clothes which covers the entire body with exception of their hands, feets and face. There are 3 types of Ihram known as Ifrad (only for the sake of Hajj), second is Tamattu bil-Umrah (Ihram for Umrah) and the third is Qiraan (for both Umrah and Hajj together). A pilgrim puts on Ihram before he crosses the miqat (those locations from where it becomes wajib to wear Ihram and which cannot be crossed to proceed for hajj or umrah without putting it on first). Once a pilgrim puts on Ihram, he is under the compulsion to abstain from trimming nails, putting on perfume, hunting as well as other immoral acts. Ihram is an expression of one’s intention to perform hajj or umrah. In the state of Ihram, Muslims have to refrain from certain acts which include indecent and immoral practices which often make up a regular feature of many people’s daily lives. Strict observance of such a moral code helps to train believers for leading an ideal life of true Muslims. Muslims in state of Ihram exhibt equality which helps to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood.
c) Arafat:
On the 9th Zill hajj pilgrims go to Arafat which is a barren valley at a distance of 9 miles from Makkah. In this barren valley the pilgrims performs the Wuquf-e- Arfat standing between noon and dusk; this is to obtain Allah (S.W.T)'s forgiveness. Our beloved Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said: "Hajj is halting at Arafat." (Sunan Tirmizi)
The pilgrims spend the day in 'Talbiyah', 'Tahleel, Astaghfar. The pilgrims offer Salat-e- Zuhr and Asr (Jamma) and reciting other supplications. This is the place where Hazrat Adam (A.S) and Hazrat Hawa were rejoined /reunited after being expelled from the gardens of the Jannah, and this mount where they both met is at a side of Arafat known as the mount of Mercy (Jabal-e-Noor).
In one of the Hadis of our Beloved Holy Prophet (S.A.W): " When the day of Arafat comes, Allah (S.W.T) descent to the lowest heaven and praise them to the angels, by saying ' look at My servants who come to me in dis-heeled, dirty and crying from every deep valley, I call you to witness that I have forgiven them" (Sahih Bukhari)
This is also the place is the very place where our beloved Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) delivered his (S.A.W) last sermon.
d) Eid ul-Azha

Eid ul-Azha is the festival of Muslims which is celebrated all over the world. This is also known as the festival of sacrifice and the sacrificial feast. Eid ul-Azha is celebrated on the 10th day of Hajj in the remembrance of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S)’s redness to sacrifice his own son Hazrat Ismail (A.S) for the sake of Allah (S.W.T) as Allah (S.W.T) instructed Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) to make sacrifice of his son Hazrat Ismail (A.S) to show obedience to Allah (S.W.T) and Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) did what Allah (S.W.T) asked for after which Allah (S.W.T) Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) as Khalilullah (His (S.W.T)’s friend).

Q11: Give an account of the events surrounding the pledges of

dear right the incidents in order

 

[Irfan Atique]

Trace the events that led up to Prophet's migration. which events will this include

Answer: When the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) started preaching Islam openly, the Quraish spear headed their enmity. They began to harass the followers of Islam, persecuting the Muslims and opposing the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) by ridiculing and joking at him all the time. They threw dirt and filth on him, his path was stewn with thorns and barbs of wood containing thorns and he was even pelted with stones. The Quraish launched a propaganda campaign dubbing the voice of Holy Prophet (S.A.W) during fairs and festivals like in the Ukaz Fair Abu Lahab came from behind of the Prophet (S.A.W) by saying don’t listen to him, he is a mad man, soothsayer, magician and a poet. When the persecution of the Quraish was intensified the Holy Prophet asked his companions to migrate to Abyssinia. The first batch migrated to Abyssinia consisted of fifteen people including Hazrat Jaffer (R.A) , Hazrat Usman (R.A) and his wife Hazrat Bibi Ruqaiya (R.A) {the daughter of Holy Prophet (S.A.W)} than the second batch migrated to Abyssinia that consisted of more than 100 Muslim mahajir. The incurred enmity of the Quraish went to such an extent that they went for socio-economic boycott against the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) and his clan Banu Hashim along with his companions . They stayed at a place called Shaib e Abi Talib without food and water for 2-3 years. The few good hearted quraish leaders urged to lift off the boycott and when the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) came from Sahib e Abi Talib back to makkah. As they came to makkah Holy Prophet's wife Hazrat Bibi Khadija (R.A) and the ancle of Prophet (S.A.W) died in the year 619 A.D. Now the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) left defenceless. Than Holy Prophet (S.A.W) went to Taif, preached the people of Taif but they also rejected his messenge and him and threw stones at him and brutally driven out of Taif by pelting stones at him till blood oozed out of his feet. With this incident of Taif and the percecusion by the people of Taif he came back to makkah. During the season of Hajj the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) met a group of 6 people from Yasrib and they embraced Islam in the first pledge of Aqabha. Than on next year the second pledge of Aqabha took place in which 73 men and 2 women of Yasrib accepted Islam and gave their alligence to Holy Prophet (S.A.W) to help and protect the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) and also invited to live in Yasrib as their leader. After the delegation left for Yasrib the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) ordered his companians to migrate to Yasrib. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) he himself imparted from makkah to madinah when the quraish planned to assassinate him (S.A.W). The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) departed upon receiving a divine instruction from Allah to migrate to Yasrib (Madinah). Allah says in the Holy Quran “........ They plot and plan and Allah too plans but the best of planner is Allah “(8:30). The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) left Ali in his bed as a decoy and in order to return the belongings he held for years back to their owners.

Q7: Describe four incidents that show how between 622 and
661, the Prophet and the rightly guided Caliphs conducted
relations with other states?
B: Suggest ways in which any two of these examples can
provide models for relations between states today?
n plz ans this que too

Question: Describe three examples from the life of the Prophet and the Rightly Guided Caliphs that show the relations between the early Muslim state and other states from 622 to 661. [10]
Answer: The guiding principle relationship between the early Muslim state and other states were lead down by the Holy Quran, implemented by the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) between 622 A.D and 632 A.D and finalized by The Rightly Guided Caliphs in 632 A.D till 661 A.D.
The Holy Prophet (S.AW) had established the first re-public after immigrating to Medina in 622 A.D. Thus Medina emerged as a city-state vis-à-vis the tribal state of Makkah. He signed a treaty with the non-Muslims of Medina in 622 A.D called the charter of Medina through which he gave them all rights of humanism. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) wanted to preach the divine message in a peaceful manner but the Makkans had adopted a hostile attitude towards him and wanted to dislodge him from Madinah. Consequently the city state of Madinah was attacked and besieged on three major occasions- Badr (624 A.D), Uhad (625 A.D) and Trench (627 A.D). The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) therefore had to fight to defend the Islamic state against those who wished to wipe it out. He (S.A.W) then signed a ten year peace treaty (Treaty of Hudaibiya) with the Makkans in 6 A.H (628 A.D). The treaty was however violated by the Quraish of Makkah and the Prophet (S.A.W) undertook offensive measures against them in 630 A.D. He entered his naked town in an incredibly peaceful way. He declared general amnesty on this epic making occasion. With this conduct he not only conquered a city but also won the hearts of his fatal enemies.
The moral principal underlying all these occasions was to nourish and nurture a community of believers that would not indulge in any kind or degree of oppression in the light of the following Quranic verse: “That house of the Hereafter we shall give to those who intent not high-handedness or mischief on earth” (28:83). His city state of Madinah therefore never encouraged or practiced any mischievous activity or high-handedness.
Another example illustrating Holy Prophet (S.A.W) policy as the head of the state in Madinah towards other states was set in 7 A.H (629 A.D), about one year after the signing of the Hudaibiya pact. The Prophet (S.A.W) wrote letters to a number of neighboring emperors and rulers and invited them in a cordial and graceful manner to the new faith. These rulers including the king of Persia, Khusro Parvez, Hercules Kaiser of Rome, Negus the king of Abyssinia, Muqawqus the Roman governor of Egypt and many others. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) received varying replies from these rulers. The Persian king Khusro not only insulted the envoy but also tore the letter of the Prophet (S.A.W). The Prophet (S.A.W) however demonstrated outmost degree of self restrained and forbearance and did not lose hope. In the long run, however his efforts begin to bear fruits as the message of Islam would start illuminating these countries in the years to come. He fought defensive battles and led armies against the enemies of Islam. He however did so only after receiving divine permission for that. Then he treated the captives of anti-Islamic forces in such a way that he was able to rule over their hearts. He enters into truce with the rivals and accepted apparently hard terms only for the sake of his noble mission.
The Rightly Guided caliphs also continued to show generosity towards the non-Muslim citizens and states following the footsteps of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W). Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A) during his caliphate (632-634 A.D) maintained the integrity which was established by Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). The state of Medina having a vast population of non-Muslims was provided with special rights. Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) gave the surety of the protection of their life, property, respect and religion was the duty of the Government. Nobody was allowed to violate their rights until unless they or the Muslims exploited the rights. Hazrat Abu Bakr maintained the respect of the Charter of Medina signed by Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) in 622 A.D first year of Hijra. The second caliph Hazrat Umar (634-644 A.D) set one of the noblest precedence in the entire world history. When he entered Jerusalem as a victor he refused to offer prayer inside the church. He justified this gentle gesture by saying that he simply did not want to set a trend for his successors to forcibly convert the worship places of non-Muslims into Mosques. This was absolutely in line with the glorious Quranic injunction: “Let there be no compulsion in religion” (2:256)

These examples set by the Prophet (S.A.W) and his successors (the caliphs) provides a glaring example that can provide enlightenment to all the Muslims rulers of the contemporary world that they should also take special care of the temple and other worship places of non-Muslims
living in their country as a religious minority.

Q6: write briefly about the conversions to Islam of Abu
Bakr .Umar, Uthman and Ali?
can u giv me some refrences to write in this que..thx

The early conversion of Hazrat Umar bin Khatab (R.A)
Umar bin Khatab was one of the stern opposition to the Muslims. Umar hated the Prophet (S.A.W) and Muslims because they brought something different to what their forefathers worshipped.
Umar one day was very upset. In fact he was angry; He decided to kill the Prophet (S.A.W). He got his sword and started heading out to find the Prophet (S.A.W). On the way, Umar met man; by the name Nu‘aim bin Abdullah (R.A). Nu’aim asked him where he was going with this unsheathed sword. Umar said furiously, “I am going to kill that man Muhammad (S.A.W)).Nu’aim said to him that your sister and brother in law have accepted Islam and left the religion of your forefathers!
When Umar heard this, he headed straight for his sister’s house, as it so happened, Umar's sister Fatima and her husband were reciting surah Ta ha,. When they heard someone approaching Fatima hid the pages of the Qur’an they were reading from. Umar had over heard something being read and pounded on the door. Fatima answered the door and Umar immediately asked her what she was reading. He then continued to relay the information that Nu’aim had given them that they had both accepted Islam. Fatima denied everything and Umar became angry and started beating his sister and brother in law. Umar was maddened with rage at both of them and caused them both to be injured.
Both Fatima and her husband then said, "Yes, we are Muslims, we believe in Allah and His Messenger Muhammad (S.A.W) so do what you will." When Umar (S.A.W) the state of his bleeding sister, he was touched with remorse and his anger went away. He said,” I was only wanting to know what you were reading.” His sister then explained to Umar that this was the Qur’an, the message that Muhammad (S.A.W) was sent with. Umar wanted to read these verses but his sister refused him saying that he could not touch them because he was not clean. Umar went and had a bath then read the verses from the Qur’an. He was immediately touched by the beauty, elegance and wisdom of these verses. He knew that these verses were far superior to anything he had heard and this could only be from Allah, no man could write this. At this point he knew that Islam was the truth and that his forefathers had indeed been misguided.

Umar then left his sister’s house and set off to find Muhammad (S.A.W). The Prophet (S.A.W) was in a religious meeting in the house al-Arqam in Safa. Here the Prophet (S.A.W) was teaching the Muslims when they heard a knock on the door. The Muslims went over to the door and looked through the cracks. They noticed Umar with his sword unsheathed and dreaded what could happen. Hamza was also there and he said: "Let him in, as a friend he is welcome. As an enemy, he will have his head cut off with his own sword."(Bukhari) Muhammad (S.A.W) then commanded his companions to open the door and let him in. When Umar entered, Muhammad (S.A.W) grabbed him by his garments and shook him, asking him why he had come. Umar explained: "O Messenger of Allah (S.A.W), I come to you in order to believe in Allah and his Messenger and that which he has brought from his Lord." All the Muslims rejoiced at this good news and cried aloud: ‘Allah hu Akbar’ (Allah is Great), which could be heard at the Kaabah.
Hazrat Usman bin Affan
Hazrat Usman bin Affan (R.A) accepted Islam at the hands of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A). It was so one day Usman Bin Affan was sleeping in the desert whilst on a trade journey, when he heard a voice saying, “Sleepers, awake, Ahmad has come forth in Makkah.” (Seerah Ibne Hisham) Usman than hurried to Makkah were he met Talha on the way. Talha said that when he was in Syria, he met a monk who asked if Ahmad (S.A.W) had come to his people of canptuary. When Talha quizzed the monk about Ahmad (S.A.W), the monk replied that Ahmad (S.A.W) was son of Abdullah son of Abdul Muttalib.
Both Usman and Talha went to Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A) who was known to be close to Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) as his childhood friend. They both related their stories to Hazrat Aby Bakr Siddique (R.A). Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A) said to them that the things that happened to them are true, than Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A) invited them to Islam by giving them the message of Holy Prophet (S.A.W).
They both along with Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A) went to Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) and accepted Islam. Hazrat Usman (R.A) being the third male converts: his family deserted him after the conversion so much so that they locked him in a room without food and water for days. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) gave his daughter Hazrat Bibi Ruqaya (R.A) in marriage to Hazrat Usman (R.A) soon after conversion. Hazrat Usman (R.A) and Hazrat Ruqaya (R.A) were amongst the first group of people who migrated to Abyssinia.
Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A)
Abu Bakr pre Islamic name was Abdul Kaa’bah. Abu Bakr was fairly wealthy merchant and before he embraced Islam, was a respected citizen of Makkah. He was three years younger than Muhammad (S.A.W) and some natural affinity drew them together from earliest child Hood. He remained the closet companion of the Prophet all through the Prophet’s life.
When the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) gave the call of Islam, Abu Bakr was out of Makkah he had gone on a business trip to Yemen. When Abu Bakr (R.A) returned to Makkah, he was informed by some of his friends that in his absence Muhammad (S.A.W) had declared himself as the Messenger of the God, and proclaimed a new religion. On hearing this, Abu Bakr lost on time in calling on the Holy Prophet (S.A.W).
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) told Abu Bakr full details of his experience in the cave of Hira, the visitation of the angel Gabriel and the command of Allah to call the people to Him. On hearing the account, Abu Bakr felt inspired. He felt convinced that what the Holy Prophet had said was truth.
Overwhelmed with emotion, and elated with Joy at the discovery of the Truth, ABU BAKR said, “I believe in you and your mission from the depths of my Heart. I testify and confirm that what you say is the truth. Call me to your religion, for verily you are the Prophet o GOD and that is a great honor”
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) once spoke about Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A), “When I invited people towards ALLAH, everybody thought over it and hesitated, at least for a while, except Abu Bakr (R.A) who accepted my call, the moment I put it before Him, and he did not hesitate even for a moment”, (Shahi Bukhari).
After ABU BAKR accepted Islam he bought many prominent companions into the fold of Islam. He use to purchase slaves and feed them in the cause of Islam like Hazrat Bilal bin Rabiah and other than slaves he brought Hazrat Talha (R.A), Hazrat Usman (R.A) into the fold of Islam. Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) was the first person who openly invites people to the new faith and for this he was persecuted by the Quraish.
Hazrat Ali (R.A)
Ali bin Abi Talib was the first cousin of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). He was the son of Abu Talib son of Abdul Muttalib of Banu Hashim. Holy Prophet (S.A.W) took Ali from his uncle Abu Talib and brought him up like his own son. He was 9 years old when Muhammad (S.A.W) received the divine message. One night he (S.A.W) and his wife khadija (R.A), praying and prostrating, Ali (R.A) asked the Prophet (S.A.W) the meaning of their action. Prophet (S.A.W) told him that they were praying to God Most High and that Ali should accept Islam. Ali said that he would first ask His father about it. He spent a sleepless night, and in the morning he went to the Prophet (S.A.W) and said, “When God created me He did not consult my Father so why should I consult my father in order to serve God?” and he accepted the truth of Muhammad’s Message.

When the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) received the revelation to call to the nearest kinsmen (26:214) The Holy Prophet invited all his family members and invited them to one GOD, everybody laughed on Prophet (S.A.W) accept Hazrat Ali (R.A) who stood up and took Holy Prophet’s hand and said I will help Muhammad (S.A.W). For this Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said, “Ali is my brother and vice-regent” (Shahi Bukhari, Shahi Muslim). During persecution Ali stood by Prophet (S.A.W) with honor and defended him with is bravery and steadfastness.

Q10: Describe the work of the scribes of Prophet in writing
down the revelations

Question: Describe the work carried out by the scribes of the Prophet (S.A.W) in writing down the revelation? [5]
Answer: Kateeben-e-Wahi or scribes of the divine revelation are referred to as those companions who wrote, memorized and organized the verses of the Holy Quran in their proper order on the command of Allah to his messenger (S.A.W) and then to the scribes.
They helped the Prophet (S.A.W) because he was unlettered. They were close companions like Hazrat Abu Bakr Saddiq (R.A), Hazrat Umar (R.A), Hazrat Usman (R.A), Hazrat Ali (R.A), Hazrat Zaid bin Sabit (R.A), Hazrat Abdullah Ibne Masood (R.A), Hazrat Ubaid bin Kaab (S.A.W), Zubair bin Al-Awam (R.A), Yazeed bin Abu Sufyan. Whenever any revelation was revealed, Holy Prophet (S.A.W) would learn it by heart and so would his companions particularly the scribes, than the scribes inscribed the verses on different objects like stone tablets sleek leather, pieces of wood, shoulder blades and bones of camels etc. He (S.A.W) also stated to have tried to repeat the revelation on receiving it lest he might forgot any portion before dictating it. In the case of piecemeal revelation of verses of the longer Surahs, Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) indicated them the exact place where a particular verse was to be inserted; he also pin pointed out which surah was to be put after which Surah. Therefore, the Holy Quran was codified, and the arrangement of the verses was completed during his (S.A.W)’s lifetime. There was always a scribe on hand to take down a revelation from the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). Beside recorded evidence a number of companions had learned the Holy Quran by heart and preserved it in their memories in its complete form and arrangement. The scribes of the divine revelation were the people who were instructed by the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) to write down the Quran. Allah has called them honorable, pious and just. The Quran says “(It is) in books held (greatly) in honor. Exalted (in dignity) kept pure and holy (written) by the hands of scribes Honorable and Pious and Just.” (14:16)
Bukhari narrates under the heading ‘The Amanuenses’ of the Prophet (S.A.W)’. “When the verse ‘La-yastawi-al-Qadun….” (4:95) was revealed. Prophet (S.A.W) said “bring Zaid to me and let him bring the tablet and the inkstand. Then he said to him ‘Write La-yastawi….” (The verse was revealed) (66:4). Hazrat Zaid bin Sabit (R.A) played the most important part in scribing the divine revelation and being the secretary of the scribes. He’s the one who compiled the Holy Quran in one book during the period of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A) and during the khilafat of Hazrat Usman bin Affan (R.A).
Question: Briefly explain the importance of the scribe of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W)? [5]
Importance of the Scribes:
The scribes have a great importance in the history of the Muslims. Allah blessed them with the honor of being the guardians of the Holy Quran. All the Muslim generations’ and races cannot neglect their services in the making of the Quran safe forever. They were the people with high character and Allah has mentioned the salient qualities of their lofty character in the Quran and has called them honorable, pious and just.” (14:16). It is due to their efforts that the Quran is being recited in the proper dialect and accent. The compilation of the Quran by Zaid Bin Sabit (R.A) is the fountain head of all the Islamic teachings. It is the only sacred book of the world that can justly boos of the purity and authenticity of its text. Various portions of the Quran were sent down as and when the need of them arose. The moment a portion was revealed, it was written down and preserved. Some of the closest companions of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) performed this important duty and they were the close companions of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W). They included Hazrat Abu Bakr Saddiq (R.A), Hazrat Umar (R.A), Hazrat Usman (R.A), Hazrat Ali (R.A), Hazrat Zaid bin Sabit (R.A), Hazrat Abdullah Ibne Masood (R.A), Hazrat Ubaid bin Kaab (S.A.W), Zubair bin Al-Awam (R.A), Yazeed bin Abu Sufyan.

Hazrat Zaid Bin Sabit was one of them. He was the secretary of the scribes and was always ready to take dictation from the master and was given the honor of the Chief Scribe. During the caliphate of Hazrat Abu Bakr, in the battle of Yamamah against Musailmah about seventy people who had learnt the Quran by heart died. He was the one who compiled the Holy Quran in one book in that critical hour. During the khilafat of Hazrat Usman bin Affan (R.A) Zaid (R.A) did the same job and saved the Quran from being changed like Torah and Injeel.
