Question 2 Report

A text of Hadith is rejected if it is

reported by an Arab

against natural phenomenon Correct answer

reported twice by the same reporter

not reported in Madinah.

Answer Details

A text of Hadith is rejected if it is against natural phenomenon. This means that if the content of the Hadith goes against what is known through reason, observation, or scientific evidence, it is considered invalid. This is because Islam encourages the pursuit of knowledge and the use of reason, and anything that contradicts natural phenomena or established knowledge is deemed unreliable. Therefore, Hadith scholars have to critically examine and authenticate the Hadith based on their chains of transmission and their content to ensure their accuracy and conformity with the principles of Islam.

They were ignorant of God’s existence

there were Prophets among them

they believed that the idols will intercede Correct answer

there were revealed Books.

Answer Details

The Arabs worshiped idols during the Jahiliyya period because they believed that the idols would intercede on their behalf and bring them closer to God. They did not know or understand the true message of monotheism and the oneness of God, as there were no prophets or revealed books among them to guide them towards the truth. This period was characterized by ignorance and darkness, which ended with the arrival of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the revelation of the Quran, which brought light and guidance to the Arabs and the world.
