Baji Humaira Quiz 2

Allah is the ultimate source of life and success; Allah deserves the full love and devotion of mankind. Humans also love those who benefit them and help them when they are in need. Since all benefit (7:188) and help (3:126) come from Allah, He should be loved above all else.

“If you try to count Allah’s blessings, you will not be able to add them up.” (Quran 16:18)

However, the supreme love which humans should feel for Allah must not be reduced to the common denominator of their emotional love for creation. Just as the love humans feel for animals should not be the same as what they feel for other humans, the love of Allah should transcend the love humans feel towards each other. Human love of Allah should be, fundamentally, a love manifest in complete obedience to the laws of Allah: “If you love Allah, then follow me [the Prophet] and Allah will love you.” (Quran 3:31)

Allah defined the purpose of mankind’s creation in the Quran: “I have created the jinn and humankind only for My worship.” (Quran 51:56)

Thus, the essential purpose for which humankind was created is the worship of God. However, the Almighty is not in need of human worship. He did not create human beings out of a need on His part. If not a single human worshipped God, it would not diminish His glory in any way, and if all of humankind worshipped Him, it would not increase His glory in any way. God is perfect. He alone exists without any needs. All created beings have needs. Consequently, it is humankind that needs to worship God

The correct answer is Mankind should show gratitude by glorifying Allah

Man is instructed to show gratitude to Allah by glorifying Him. In the Quran, Allah says: “Glorify the praises of your Lord...” (Quran 15:98)

In glorifying Allah, man chooses to be in harmony with the rest of creation which naturally glorifies its Creator. Allah addresses this phenomenon in many chapters of the Quran. For example, in the Quran, Allah states: “The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them glorify Him and there is nothing which does not glorify His praise. However, you do not understand their glorification.” (Quran 17:44)

All the prophets sent by Allah came with the same essential message: “Indeed, We have sent a messenger to every nation (saying), ‘Worship God and avoid false gods...’” (Quran 16:36)

The prophets brought the same answer to mankind’s most troubling question, an answer that addresses the yearning of the soul for Allah

The correct answer is All the Above

The regular daily need to eat, work and sleep is linked to the daily need to renew man’s connection with Allah. With regard to regular prayer, Allah states in the final revelation: “Verily, I am Allah, there is no God beside Me, so worship Me and establish regular prayer for My remembrance.” (Quran 20:14)

Regarding fasting, Allah stated in the Quran: “O you who believe! Fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you that you may become God-conscious.” (Quran 2:183)

The believers are encouraged to remember Allah as much as possible: “O believers! Remember God often.” (Quran 33:41)

Verily It is in the remembrance of Allah you find Peace and Tranquillity !!!

The correct answer is Those who believe in Allah and do righteous deeds are the best of creations

Those who believe in One Unique Allah, without partners or offspring, and do righteous deeds become the crown of creation. That is, although humankind is not the greatest creation of God, they have the potential to become the best of His creation. In the final revelation, God states this fact as follows: “Surely, those who believe and do righteous deeds are the best of creation.” (Quran 98:7)

The correct answer is All the above

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said in his last sermon on his Hajj, “There is truly no excellence for an Arab over a non-Arab; or for a non-Arab over an Arab; or for a white man over a black man; or for a black man over a white man; except through piety.” Worship Allah, offer your five daily prayers (Salah), fast during the month of Ramadan, and give your wealth in Zakat. Perform Hajj if you can afford to. You know that every Muslim is the brother of another Muslim. You are all equal. Nobody has superiority over other except by piety and good action.

The Prophet also mentioned that a husband has rights over his wife and similarly the wife has rights over the husband, and that the wife should be treated with kindness. Regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you
