Yes u can write about hazrat adam

Infact i believe we can only write from these prophets:
----Hazrat Ibrahim
----Hazrat Adam
----Hazrat Isa

The reason we cant write bout the rest are the question clearly states that we have to write bout the prophets from our passages apart from hazrat muhammad. so we are restricted to the above three cuz nowhere in our syllabus i.e the passages set for special study do we find surahs regardin hazrat musa, hazrat yahya etc.

 

[ashiqbal]

yeah thats what i think. so can you write about the stories of adam and jesus and abraham that are present in the passages? with references to the passage?

 

[HarisShahzad]

u had to write bout any 2, sir asim said quotations werent important in this question

 

[scouserlfc]

yeah but if u gave quotations it would help but SUrah references were enuf i guess and yeah i to think we were limited to these three only .

 

[Sehrish]

Mannn this paper is exactly the guess my teacher made for our session (2010). Wished I knew it cud b of any help. when is the Isl paper 2?

 

[HarisShahzad]

2nd paper is on 24th.

sorry forgot to write adam

 

[Owlcitizen]

One, can you please hurry (sagemaster) with the answers, i have been waiting for two days straight.
And I qrote about Musa, and so did many, many candidates. A question resembling this (Q2) came in M/J/09 about the "Hadith you have studied.' candidates were not penalised if they quoted hadiths out of the 20 in the syllabus. IMO the examiner wrote about the reference to the quranic passages to help candidates about the prophets and make it easier to attempt a new question. I don't think that examiner should have a problem with other prophets. After all, Islam cannot be restricted to a syllabus, just in the same manner Shia' candidates are allowed to discuss aql in comparison to qiyas in the paper, although qiyas is not in the syllabus! :unknown: :sorry:

Question 1(easy question) :good: :

(a). briefly describe the main theme(s) in each passage.

(b) Briefly explain how each passage presents its theme(s) in a distinctive way.These are the main points that have to be mentioned and explained while answering any of the questions on one of the surahs.

1.Surah Baqrah (2:21-22)

a) This passage talks about tawhid (oneness) and emphasises that God is the Creator of
Everything. Allah has created for the benefit of mankind guidance (Through His revealed Books and Prophets), fertile earth, shade and water from sky. It also suggests that
Mankind should not commit the greatest sin of associating partners/rivals with God, for
He is the only Creator and Sustainer. According to Quran, ‘To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. Absolutely, GOD is the Most Rich, Most Praiseworthy”. 22:64.

b) This Surah shows the relationship between God and His creation. The whole mankind, heaven and the earth are sight of Allah and they are serving the humanity. Now, it is the duty of man to worship Him and praise Him. They can also see this from the guidance that came before them from prophets. Therefore, humans should acknowledge who their sustenance has come from as He is the only creator of everything. We should acknowledge the countless bounties of Allah and praise Him as Quran says “Praise be to GOD, Lord of the universe.’ 1 : 2.

2. Surah Zilzal (99: 1-8)

a) In the verses of Surah Zilzal cited above, the earth has been personified. This personification of the earth is sustained throughout this short surah. The earth is “shaken” and “throws up its burdens”, it will “declare its tidings: For that thy Lord will have given it inspiration”. The word أَوْحَى used with reference to the earth here in (99:5) “ordinarily means inspiration, the message put into the mind or heart by Allah.” (‘Ali, 654). Thus the earth is presented as a living creature and the message is put into its “mind or heart by Allah”. In this Surah Allah say, O mankind! Have Taqwa (fear) of your Lord. This surah narrates the sign and events of the Day of Judgment. The whole earth will experience all manner of internal as well as external commotions and upheavals. The earth will throw out its treasures because God had commanded her to do so, the word Auha meaning; he commanded (Aqrab). Every action done in secret by men will come to light whether it is good or bad and they will be judge according to their actions and deeds in worldly life.

b) This surah refers to the Day of Judgment which one of the fundamental belief of Muslims. Allah is the creator of this universe and it is created with His will and it will end with Will. That Day will start with the blow of Trumpet by angel Israfil and will cause great shaking of earth. .This surah deals with many subjects belonging to the supersensory realm such as faith in one God, the angels, doomsday and resurrection, heaven and hell. Every human will get reward and punishment according to his action. as it is mention in Holy Quran “They are dead, not alive, and they have no idea how or when they will be resurrected.” 16:21.

3.Surah Nas (114:1-6)

a) Allah provides Refuge from the wickedness of those who tempt others. In this surah,, refuge is sought with Allah through His attributes which are directly related to man. As a result, the appeal of the surah is more effective. Which invoke Allah’s mercy. These are three attributes from the attributes of the Lord, the Mighty and Majestic. They are Lordship, Sovereignty and Divinity. Thus, He is the Lord of everything, the King of everything and the God of everything. This (the whisperer) is the devil that is assigned to man. This devil will go to any lengths to confuse and confound man. The only person who is safe is He Whom Allah protects.

b) This surah refers to the power of God. This surah addresses to the Prophet (s) to seek Allah’s protection against the evil effect of magic spell cast on him by his enemies. Allah has the power to undo all evil forces created by Satan. According to Quran “When the devil whispers to you any whisper, seek refuge in GOD; He is Hearer, Omniscient.” 7:200. it is also mention in Quran “Say, "No one can protect me from GOD, nor can I find any other refuge beside Him.” 72:22.This surah is the dual of Surah Falaq, there is no essential difference between the central themes of the two.

that my friend, was not the answer. the question asked for the importance of miraj to the PROPHET> not to anybody else. While the point about the Prophet being special in regard to be the only Prophet to meet God stands, there were other major points. Khadija died in 619, was a moral and financial support. Abut talib died, a man who brought up Muhammad (S) and through the clan system in Arabia protected the Prophet and after his death he lost proptection after Abu lahab became the head of the clan. Also the journey to Taaif was a great disappointment and God showed that he had not left Muhammad and this was a great uplifter for the Prophet.
