ISLAMIYAT MOST IMPORTANT 10 MCQs Must read and memorize for better scores

1). Which Surah starts without Bismillah: 

a) Al-Baqara 
b) Al-Nisa 
c) Al-Toba 
d) Al-Ikhlas 

NOTE;

REASON 1: When Hadrat Uthman رضى الله عنه was asked why there was no bismillah at the beginning of Surah al-Tawba like how there is bismillah at the beginning of other surahs, he replied that there was some doubt as to this surah being a separate surah, because Nabi صلى الله عليه و سلم passed away without explicitly mentioning anything regarding it. This is why Bismillah was not written at the beginning of Surah Taubah. However, since its subject-matter is similar to that of Surah Anfal, it was placed after it and a space for Bismillah has been kept because it is possible that this is a separate surah. (Tirmizi, Vol 2, Pg.139)

REASON 2: 

In Bukhari Shareef (Vol 2,Pg 271) it is mentioned that this surah was revealed to cancel the peace treaty. In it appears the command of killing the mushrikeen (polytheists) and the expression of Allah Ta`ala’s anger over them. Therefore, Bismillah was not written at the beginning of the surah since Bismillah signifies peace and mercy.

It appears in Shaatbi: لتنزيلها بالسيف لست مبسملا (Bismillah does not appear at the beginning of this surah, because it was revealed in connection to war.) This is not the actual reason though it is a point to consider. The actual reason is that which is narrated from Hadrat Uthman رضى الله عنه (Bayanul Qur’an, Vol 4, Pg 95)

IBN QAYYIMS’ FOURTEEN CATEGORIES OF JIHĀD

Islamic scholars, from the time of the Prophet (sas) until today, have categorized Jihād into at least fourteen distinct categories. A cogent discussion of these categories is found in the book Zād al-Ma‘ād, by Ibn Qayyim al-Jawzīyyah. According to him, the categories of Jihād are:

1. JIHĀD AGAINST THE HYPOCRITES
   1. By heart
   2. By tongue
   3. By wealth
   4. By person
2. JIHĀD AGAINST THE UNBELIEVERS
   1. By heart
   2. By tongue
   3. By wealth
   4. By person
3. JIHĀD AGAINST THE DEVIL
   1. Fighting him defensively by rejecting the false desires and slanderous doubts that he throws towards the servant.
   2. Fighting him defensively by rejecting what he throws towards the servant of corrupt passion and desire.
4. JIHĀD OF THE SELF
   1. Striving to seek guidance and learn the religion of truth, without which there is no felicity or happiness in life or in the hereafter.
   2. Striving to act upon it after he has learned it, for the abstract quality of knowledge without action, even if it yields no wrong, is without benefit.
   3. Striving to call to God and to teach the religion to someone who does not know it.
   4. Striving with patience in seeking to call to God and bearing with patience whatever adversity comes from that for the sake of God.₂

IBN RUSHD’S CATEGORIZATION OF JIHĀD

Ibn Rushd, in his Muqaddimah, divides Jihād into four categories:

1. Jihād of the heart
2. Jihād of the tongue
3. Jihād of the hand
4. Jihād of the sword.

6). Which one is called Masha’ar-ul-Haram: 

a) Mina valley
b) Muzdalifa valley
c) Arafat

Note: Muzdalifah (Arabic: مزدلفة‎‎) is an open, level area near Mecca in Saudi Arabia associated with the Hajj. It lies just southeast of Mina on the route between Mina and Arafat.The scholars differed in opinion with regard to the meaning of Al-Mash'ar Al-Haraam. As appeared in hadiths it is the mount between two valleys. 

7). Who was the first martyre in Islam: 

a) Hazrat Hamza (RA)
b) Hazrat Yasir (RA) 
c) Hazarat Sumaya (RA) 

NOTE: Sumayyah bint Khayyat was the first martyr of ISLAM. She was a slave in the possession of Abu Hudhayfa ibn al-Mughira, a member of the Makhzum clan in Mecca.One evening Abu Jahl, also a member of the Makhzum clan, came to watch her standing there and he began to insult her verbally. Then he killed her by stabbing and impaling her with his spear. When Abu Jahl was killed at Badr, Muhammad said to Ammar, "Allah has killed your mother's killer. The spouse name was  Yasir ibn Amir. Yasir and his wife, Sumayya, and their son, Ammar, had no tribal affiliation. In Makkah they were "foreigners" and there was no one to protect them. All three were savagely tortured by Abu Jahl and the other infidels. Sumayya, Yasir's wife, died while she was being tortured. She thus became the First Martyr in Islam. A little later, her husband, Yasir, was also tortured to death, and he became the Second Martyr in Islam.

 

8). Who first embraced Islam among women: 

a) Hazrat Fatima (RA)
b) Hazrat Zainab (RA) 
c) Hazrat Khadija (RA) 
d) Hazrat Ayesha (RA)

NOTE:  In the terminology of the Holy Qur'an those persons who preceded all others in embracing and propagating Islam are called as-Sabiqun (the preceding ones),  It is an admitted historical fact that from amongst women Khadijah was the first to embrace Islam and there is no contradictory report on this point. Another evidence about Khadijah being the first woman in the world to embrace Islam is the very incident of the commencement of the revelation of the Holy Qur'an, because, when the Holy Prophet came down from the cave of Hira and related the incident to his wife she immediately confirmed her husband's statement and consoled him.

Furthermore, she had time and again heard from the fortune-tellers and sages of Arabia about the prophethood of her husband from her cousin Warqa Bin Naufel and it was on account of the truthfulness and righteousness of the Hashmite young man that she married him.

As the Prophet Muhammad himself is believed to have said in a hadith preserved in Sahih Muslim: “God Almighty never granted me anyone better in this life than her. She accepted me when people rejected me; she believed in me when people doubted me; she shared her wealth with me when people deprived me; and God granted me children only through her.” Indeed, another of the most important women of early Islam, Fāṭima al-Zahrā’, was the daughter of the Prophet by Khadīja and it is only through Fāṭima (especially through her two sons, al-Hasan and al-Husayn) that the lineage of the Prophet Muhammad is preserved. These facts make Fāṭima and her mother Khadīja among the most revered female personages in Islamic history.

9). What is Istelam: 

a) Salam to Kaaba 
b) Salam to Hajre Aswad 
c) Kissing Hajre Aswad 
d) Praying at Muqam –e-Ibrahim 

NOTE:  THE BLACK STONE HISTORY AND ITS IMPORTANCE THROUGH HISTORY
The Black Stone, al-Ḥajar al-Aswad is the eastern cornerstone of the Kaaba. It is revered by Muslims as an Islamic relic which, according to Muslim tradition, dates back to the time of Adam (a.s) and Eve (a.s). Islamic tradition holds that it fell from the heaven as a guide for Adam and Eve to build an altar, which became the first temple on Earth. It is believed that the stone was originally pure and dazzling white, but has since turned black because of the sins of the people who touches it. Adam’s altar and the stone were lost during Noah’s (a.s) great Flood and forgotten. Ibrahim (a.s)  later found the Black Stone at the original site of Adam’s altar when the angel Jibreel (a.s) revealed it to him. Ibrahim ordered his son Ismael (a.s)- who is an ancestor of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) – to build a new temple, the Kaaba, into which the Stone was toembedded.The Kaaba marks the location where the sacred world intersects with the profane, and the embedded Black Stone was a further symbol of this as an object as a link between Heavenly realm and earthly

Muslim pilgrims circle the Kaaba as a part of the tawaf ritual during the hajj and many try to stop and kiss the Black Stone, emulating the kiss that Islamic tradition records as it received from Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w).

Following are several reliable virtues of this sacred stone:

1. Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (r.a) reports that Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:
‘The black stone is a white ruby from the rubies of Jannah, Paradise, it was only blackened due to the sins of the those who join partners with Allah. It will be brought forth on the day of judgment as huge as mount Uhud, to testify on behalf of those who touched or kissed it in the world.’ (Appears in Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah, Hadith: 2734)

2. Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (r.a) reports that Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:
‘Indeed on the day of judgement, this (black) stone shall have a tongue and two lips to testify for those who touched it.’

(Appears in Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 961, Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith: 2944, Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah, Hadith: 2736 & Sahih Ibn Hibban, Hadith: 3711)

3. Ibn ‘Abbaas said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:
“When the Black Stone came down from Paradise, it was whiter than milk, but the sins of the sons of Adam made it black.”

(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 877; Ahmad, 2792. Classed as saheeh by Ibn Khuzaymah, 4/219. Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar classed it as qawiy (strong) in Fath al-Baari, 3/462).

4. Ibn ‘Umar said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (s.a.w) say:
“Touching them both [the Black Stone and al-Rukn al-Yamani] is an expiation for sins.”
(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 959. This hadeeth was classed as hasan by al-Tirmidhi and as saheeh by al-Haakim (1/664). Al-Dhahabi agreed with him).

5. When the second Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab (r.a) came to kiss the Stone, he said in front of all assembled: “No doubt, I know that you are a stone and can neither harm anyone nor benefit anyone. Had I not seen Allah’s Messenger [Muhammad] kissing you, I would not have kissed you.”  Ali, brother of prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) responded to Umar (r.a), saying, “This stone (Hajar Aswad) can indeed benefit and harm. Allah says in Quran that he created human beings from the progeny of Adam (as) and made them witness over themselves and asked them, ‘Am I not your creator?’ Upon this, all of them confirmed it. Thus Allah wrote this confirmation. And this stone has a pair of eyes, ears and a tongue and it opened its mouth upon the order of Allah, who put that confirmation in it and ordered to witness it to all those worshippers who come for Hajj.” [Appears in Sahih of Bukhari and Kanz al-Ummal]

in a variation:

When `Umar ibn al-Khattab (r.a) was on Hajj, he came to stand before the Black Stone of the Ka`bah and he spoke to it, ‘O Hajar al-Aswad, you are but a stone.  You do no good and no harm, but the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) gave you great honor so I will honor you too.’  `Ali (r.a) coming up to him said, ‘Oh `Umar, why do you speak thus?  The Lord of the Worlds has informed us that the Black Stone was an angel before this time, and he has consciousness.  On the Day of Judgment he will testify.  He witnesses all the pilgrims who step before him during the Hajj, and their names are written before him in a book.  In it, he records their name and reports them on the Day of Judgment, for the Hajar al-Aswad also has a mouth with which he, then, will speak.’” [Appears in Lore of Lights, Volume I]

10). Who collected Quranic verses in one place: 

a) Hazrat Umar (RA)
b) Hazrat Abdullah ibne Abbas (RA) 
c) Hazrat Abdullah ibne Masud (RA) 
d) Hazrat Usman (RA)

NOTE: The Quran was collected under the auspices of committee of four senior ranking Companions headed by Zaid ibn Thabit. This compilation was kept by the Caliph Abu Bakr, after his death by his successor, Caliph Umar, who on his deathbed gave them to Hafsa bint Umar, his daughter and one of Muhammad's widows.The famous ten People who form the chains of narration regarding the Quran are as follows.

1. Umar ibn al Khattab 
2. Uthman bin Affan
3. Ali ibn abi Talib
4. Abu Musa al Ash'ari
5. Ubay Ibn Ka'b
6. Abdullah ibn Masood
7. Zayd Ibn Thabit
8. Abu Hurairah
9. Abdullah Ibn Abbas
10. Abu al-Darda

Amongst those ten the two most important people were zayd ibn thabit the personal scribe of Muhammad and Ubay ibn Ka'b who was the foremost authority on the Quran. Hazrat Uthman (R.A), The Caliphate had grown considerably, expanding into Iraq, Syria, Egypt, and Iran, bringing into Islam's fold many new converts from various cultures with varying degrees of isolation.These converts spoke a variety of languages but were not well learned in Arabic, and so Uthman felt it was important to standardize the written text of the Quran into one specific Arabic dialect. Another reason for compiling the Quran was that many Muslims who had memorized the Quran in its entirety (huffaz) were dying, especially in battle. Once copies were made the original was returned to Hadrat Hafsah (rad). The new copies were then distributed to every Muslim province with the orders that all other copies of the Qur’an, be they full or partial copies, were to be burnt and replaced by this original one. Since that day the Holy Qurán has remained in its original pristine form and will remain as such in the future by the Grace and Blessings of Allah Almighty.
