Yes dear Ruman m here to help you all........
Question: Discuss the most important feature of the Quran teaching you have studied about oneness of Allah [Tauheed]? [10]
Answer: The Quranic passages which we have studied about Allah in Himself taught a Muslim to believe in One God, Supreme and Eternal, Infinite and Mighty, Merciful and Compassionate, Creator and Provider. As, Allah says in surah Al-Baqarah: “Allah! There is no god but him, the living, the self-subsisting, eternal……” (2:255).
Faith in the existence of God is a natural disposition in man. Everything existent in the definite order or arrangement has a maker to it. If man ponders over the universe, surveying all that it contains, he certainly will come to realize that it did not come into existence as a matter of chance; Islam demands that all human beings to belief in that creator as One Allah. The most concise expression of the nature of Allah has been delivered by Surah Ikhlas which says:
“He is Allah, the one and only. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him.”(112:1-4). in Surah Ikhlas Allah has described the four basic merits of lordship; one, never ending, single and incomparable. The existence of Allah is confirmed when we ponder over the universe that such an organized and well-coordinated world , would not come to existence on its own as the Quran says “Is there a doubt about Allah the creator of heavens and the earth ?” (14:10).
He is God of all mankind, not of a special tribe or race. Allah has no weaknesses like human beings and He guard the whole universe without any helper. His knowledge is perfect and no one can interfere in His domain as the Quran says “......... Nor slumber can seize Him, nor sleep. His are all things in the heavens and the earth.........” (2:255)
It’s only Allah who makes harmonious and systemic arrangements of the universe on account of His Will.
As the Quran says: “To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth………..” (2:117)
Further the Holy Quran says “There is no other guardian of the creation in the heavens and the earth, and He does not associate anyone with Himself in His authority."(18:26)
Allah's nature is so subtle and fine, far beyond from our conceptions so as to be invisible to the physical eye and imperceptible in the present senses. His presence can only be felt through manifestation of His attributes as the Quran says “No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all visions .....”(6:103).

has anybody got the answer to
How are Ijma and Qiyas used to derive Islamic jurisprudence?

Question: Explain how the Quran is related with Ijma and Qiyas? [10]
Answer: The divine revelation (the Holy Quran) is the first basic primary source in Islamic law. It is the most authentic, comprehensive book contains laws of all spheres regarding to Islam. In the holy Quran Allah says “This is the book in it is guidance without doubt to those who fear” (2:2) it is the direct word of Allah hence its purity is doubtless. It’s clear teachings in Islamic legal thinking are followed without questions as Quran exist in its original form as Allah says in the Holy Quran “We have without doubt revealed the reminder and we will guard it” (15:9) The Holy Quran is a primary source containing all the fundamental directives and instructions of Allah including the principals relating to all the aspects of social and cultural life of human being individually and in whole community. The Quran is the last and complete edition of divine guidance and this is the only book of Allah which is not been distorted.
Ijma is the third source of Islamic legal thinking. In the terminology of religion Ijma means consensus of the companions of the Prophet (S.A.W) or Muslim jurists of a particular age, on a question of law as the Quran says: “Take council with them in the conduct of affairs.” (3:139).
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said “Gather together the righteous from among my community and decide the matter with their council and do not decide it by any man’s opinion” (Abu Daud). Ijma of the scholars signifies the importance of the legislation in the Muslim community. Ijma is considered as sufficient evidence for the implementation of the Islamic law because Prophet (S.A.W) himself said “My community will not agree unanimously on an error” (Tirmizi). The best example of Ijma is that when Holy Prophet (S.A.W) consulted his companions about matters that were not concerned with religion like Ijma for the battle of Uhad, because Allah commanded him to do that.
Qiyas is the fourth source of Islamic legal thinking. Qiyas is an analogical deduction from the above three sources of law. It basically resorted in respect of problems about which there is no specific provision in the Holy Quran or Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W). In case when something needs a legal ruling but has not been clearly addressed in other Islamic sources, judges may use (Islamic Scholars) analogy, reasoning and legal precedent to decide new case when a general principal can be applied to new situation e.g. the scholars have developed detailed principals of analogical deduction or Qiyas in the book of Islamic laws. The Prophet (S.A.W) reported to have encouraged Qiyas in his lifetime. When Holy Prophet (S.A.W) was sending Mauz bin Jabal (R.A) as the governor of Syria/Yemen. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) asked him “How will you decide when a matter comes to you for decision?” He replied “I shall decide according to the book of Allah.” The Prophet (S.A.W) again said that “If you did not find it in the book of Allah?” Mauz (R.A) replied “Than I will decide according to the Sunnah of the Prophet (S.A.W).” If you find nothing in there, Holy Prophet (S.A.W) asked? Hazrat Mauz (R.A) replied “Than I will exert myself for my own judgment.” (Tirmizi & Abu Daud)

Hazrat Mauz (R.A) replied “Than I will exert myself for my own judgment.” (Tirmizi & Abu Daud)

Question: What is Ijma how and in what circumstances it is used in Islamic Legal thinking? [10]
Answer: Ijma come from the word ‘Jamaat’ meaning gathering or unanimity. In Islamic terminology, Ijma means a consensus of opinion of the companions of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) or Muslim Jurists (Mujtahids) of a particular age upon a rule of Islamic law. The Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said “Gather together the righteous from among mu community and decide the matter by their council and do not decide it by any man’s opinion” (Abu Daud).
It is the third source of religious and legal authority in Islam. Changing time after the demise of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) has led up to the complicated lifestyle which has given rise to many new problems of diverse nature. Since these problems are mostly associated with modern way of living, it is possible that their solution could not be found in the Quran and the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W). There are many things which did not existed in the time of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) and are the inventions of modern era. In practical situations problems arise thus the Muslim Jurists resorted to consensus, to reach an agreed solution in the light of basic Islamic principles. If the Ijtehad of jurists on some point secure the full agreement of all the jurists of the period and is not contrary to the Quran and the Hadis than it becomes binding in character and forms a law.
As the Quran is the first primary source of law containing complete code of life and universal guidance for all time containing Islamic Laws and legal system. The Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) is not only an elaboration of the meaning of the Holy Quran but also addresses issues over which the Holy Quran maintains silence. As the Quran says: “O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the messenger (S.A.W) and those charged with authority among you……” (4:58)
However, in order to practice Ijma, those involved in the consensus must be qualified as Mujtahids (those who have attained the status of Ijtehad). Most Jurists also do not regard Ijma as valid if there remains an opposing minority amongst the Mujtahids who do not agree to it. The Ummah of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) that is protected against error in collective agreements. In some circumstances in which the Quran and the Sunnah do not offer guidance like the problems associated with the modern way of living, Nowadays here consensus is allowed as the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) said “My community will not agree unanimously on an error” (Tirmizi).
The compilation of the Quran after the death Holy Prophet (S.A.W) on the suggestion of Hazrat Umar (R.A) and by the Ijma of the companions it was compiled in the book form. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said “The hand of Allah is with the community” (Mishkat).
Question: How the Quran was compiled during the lifetime of Holy Prophet (S.A.W)? [10]
Answer: Since the Holy Quran was not revealed all at once and its different verses were revealed as and when appropriate so it was neither possible nor practicable from the very beginning to write and preserve Holy Quran in one book form. It must be kept in mind that the memory of the Arabs was very strong and of course there is a reason behind this which is explained in the Holy Quran as Allah says “Verily, it is we who has send down this message and it is we who shall guard it.” (Surah Hijr’ 15:9). The Quran was revealed to Holy Prophet (S.A.W) through Jibrael (A.S). So the first method of recording the Holy Quran was through the memorization of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W). Upon receiving of the Wahi (revelation), the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) immediately commit all passages revealed to him to his memory, which is known as Hifz “…….And Apostle from God, rehearsing scriptures, kept pure and holy ……..” (98:2). Thereafter he would recite the same to his companions and companions immediately confined it to their memories quiet easily and this practice was encouraged by Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W). Hazrat Usman bin Affan (R.A) narrated that the Prophet (S.A.W) as saying “The most superior among the companions were those who learn the Quran and then taught it to others” (Sahih Bukhari) than the passages were also regularly recited in five daily prayers.
It was also the practice of Holy Prophet (S.A.W) to listen to Quranic recitation from the companions. After this the holy Prophet (S.A.W) immediately ask his scribes which are about 40 in number to write down the revelation he had received, and he would confirm and recheck it by himself. Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was an Ummi who could not read and write, therefore after receiving each revelation he would repeat it to his companions and they would write down the revelation. The leading scribes like Zaid bin Sabit (R.A), Abdullah Ibne Masood (R.A), Ubaid bin Kaab (R.A), Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A), Hazrat Umar Farooq (R.A), Hazrat Ali (R.A) and Hazrat Usman (R.A). Hazrat Zaid bin Sabit (R.A) being the secretary of the scribes.
They used to write the revelation of the Holy Quran on the pieces of parched leathers, dead palm branches and leaves, scraps of leather, thin flat stones and shoulder blades of camels and sheep. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) would also indicate in which Surah each Ayat was to be placed. The companions never interfered in the arrangement of the Ayats because the arrangement was on the command of Allah Al-Mighty Himself. Hazrat Zaid bin Sabit (R.A) was one of the most prominent scribes and has reported that he, along with other companions would compile the Quran in the presence of Holy Prophet (S.A.W) during this time the names of the Surahs were also known. Angel Jibrael (A.S) would also come to Holy Prophet (S.A.W) every Ramzan to listen to him reciting the Quran and listen to him twice in the year of his demise.

Question: Write down the events of the battle of Trench/Ahzab and Khyber?
Answer: BATTLE OF TRENCH / AHZAB:
After the battle of Uhad, the Muslims were able to regain their formal position, but the Quraish were unable to reconcile with the growing power of Muslims because of the threat to the Makkan trade. The chief of Banu Nazir went to Makkah and asked for the help of the Quraish against Muslims. Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) received information of a preparation of a mass-scale war by the infidels. Holy Prophet (S.A.W) was agreed upon the suggestion of Hazrat Salman-Pharsi of digging a trench along with all his companions. Therefore, a trench was dug by the companions of Holy Prophet (S.A.W) who worked day and night in a state of extreme hunger, and in an atmosphere of intense cold, to accomplish the task. The Quraish assembled 4000 soldiers, Ghadafan and allies’ 6000 soldiers of a combined army numbered 10000 fighters, arrived in the vicinity in places called Al-Asyal and Uhad.
‘’ And when the believers saw 'Al-Ahzab' (the confederates), they said: 'this is what Allah and His Messenger [Muhammad (S.A.W)] had promised us........." (33:22)
The Muslim army consists of only 3000 companions with 36 horses. The trench proved to be a successful means of defense leaving the enemy in a state of desperation. Some people from the infidel’s army managed to cross the trench for example Amr bin Abd but he was slain by Hazrat Ali Al-Murtaza (R.A). Other fell in the ditch while attempting to cross it. Several days passed but the enemies could not scale full war with the Muslims; although they kept launching attacks on the Muslims from behind the Trench with bows and arrows.
They became more infuriated and restless with the passage of time. Their supplies were running out and the weather was also getting colder. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) reminded Banu Quraizah about the treaty that they were to support Muslims in the defense for Madinah but they refused to help the Muslims and broke the treaty. Than the Quraish army 4000 in number and Quraish tribes with 6000 men launched a mighty attack on Muslims from all sides even from the side of Banu Quraizah this is called treason. For this reason this battle is also called Battle of Ahzab or Battle of Allies. The Holy Quran says ‘’ Behold! They came on you from above you and from below you and you were harbring doubts about Allah...‘’ (33:10-11) the siege continued for a month.
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) and his companions endured the days with nervousness of being harassed by the enemy in the front and worried by the treason of the Jews in the rear. However, Allah came to the help of Prophet (S.A.W) and Muslims, that one night a piercing blast of cold and thunder storm occurred which was followed by the wind storm uprooting the enemy tents, their fires were extinguished, the sand rain beat on their faces. The enemies stricken by cold and terror withdrew in utter confusion. This is referred in the Holy Quran as ‘’ O people who have believed! Remember the bounty of Allah, which He has (just now) shown you…………’’ (33:9).
BATTLE OF KHYBER:
Banu Nazir and other Jewish tribes settled in Khyber after they were expelled from Madinah. Khyber was a group of strongly fortified fortresses in the northwest of Madinah and the principal fort was Al-Qamus. The Jews were conspiring in the Khyber about an attack on Madinah. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) heard about the Jews plot of attacking Madinah, he prepared an army of 1400 strong men including 200 cavalry, 20 women also went along with the Muslim army so, as to look after the sick and the wounded as well as to prepare food for the army. As soon as Prophet (S.A.W) came close to the fortresses of Khyber they met with few workers of Khyber coming out with baskets and spades. As soon as they saw Prophet (S.A.W) and the army, they turned on their heels shouting. At that time the Prophet (S.A.W) said “God is Great, Khyber is destroyed when we fall upon a people, the morning is cruel enough for them, who have already been warned." (Ibne Hisham, vol 3/229-230). The Muslims let siege of Khyber, and started over-powering citadels one by one when Muslims reached the fort of Qamus.Mahraab a well known Jewish war lord defended the fort well and the Muslims were unable to overcome Qamus.
The Prophet (S.A.W) said “Tomorrow I will give the flag to the man who loves Allah and His Prophet (S.A.W) and he will conquer the fort" (Ibne Hisham, Bukhari). Hazrat Ali Al Murtaza (R.A) was suffering from Ophthalmia and Prophet (S.A.W) summoned him next morning; Prophet (S.A.W) blew into his eyes his saliva and prayed for his success. Ali's (R.A) eyes were cured after which he was given the insignia (standard) and ordered to launch attack on Qamus. Mahraab the Jew appeared from the fort to take on Hazrat Ali Al Murtaza (R.A). Mahraab was wearing his full armor, a shield and reciting a poem about his valor. Hazrat Ali Al Murtaza (R.A) imposed himself upon Mahraab and struck with Zulfiqar (his sword) with such a blow that first Mahraab's helmet and skull Torne into to pieces than his shield, his armor and finally with the same blow of Zulfiqar torn him and his horse into two equal parts. Hazrat Ali Al Murtaza (R.A) succeeds in reducing the Qamus and Khyber was now in Muslims hands.

[Ruman Wajih]

AoA Sir : please mark my question according to cie criteria.

Q1 : How was the holy Quran Compiled Following The Holy Prophet's death.[10].

Ans : The Holy Qur'an was revealed to the holy prophet (S.A.W) during a period of about 23 years beginning with the first revelation when he was at Cave Hira :
Read in the name of your lord ......................... Taught man who he knew not
The revelations continued for 23 years until the last revelation which the holy prophet recieved at the plain of Arafat :
This day I have perfected your religion for you , completed my favor upon you and chosen for you Islam as your religion.
The Quran was not compiled to a book form during the life of Holy Prophet . After his death when H . Abu Bakr became caliph many of the Hafiz (the people who had memorized the Quran by heart) died in the battle of Yamama. H umar realised that if this continued The word of Allah would not be saved and conserved for the upcoming generations therefore he consulted H. Abu Bakr and advised him that it was necessary to compile the Quran . H . Abu Bakr reluctantly agreed and appointed 75 muslims to assist Zaid bin Thabit for the task. Zaid bin Thabit collected the verses of the QUran from stones , leaves , leather ,bones etc and also from those who had memorized it and used careful methods to verify it. FIrstly he would check through his own mwmory secondly H . Umar being a Hafiz assisted him in verifying the copies. Also no verse was accepted if two trustworthy witnesses testified that it had been written in the presence of the holy prophet {SAW} and these verses were matched with the differnt collections of the companions.
The fair copy prepared was known as Mushaf , It remained with the first 2 caliphs and after the death of H.Umar It came under his daughter H . Hafsa thus became known as Mushaf i Hafsa.

The caliphate of H Umar saw quick conquests and many new areas came under the muslim empire. Muslim commanders noted that many newly converted soldiers recited the Quran in a different dialect each claiming his to be the correct one . A very close companion Huzaifa bin Yaman reported such incidents from Central Asia and reported to H Usman the third Caliph. he took quick action and appointed a team of 4 knowledgeable muslims including Zaid bin Thabit to prepare original copies of the Holy Quran from the Mushaf i Hafsa. these copies were sent to various provinces of the muslim empire along with reciters who recited it in the correct dialect. The original copy was read aloud from the mosque to remove all doubts regarding the Quran and he ordered that if anyone had different copies they were to be destroyed by fire. For this service H Usman is known as Jami ul Quran .

Thus the Holy Quran was compiled for the upcoming generations and has remained in its original state till now and it has not been edited or changed.​
