Is there any evidence that Isa (a.s.) wrote the Injeel in book form? Because it seems that Allah has already gave him the Injeel when he was a baby. > [Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah . He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. > > Quran 19:30 Isa (a.s.) said this as a baby after his mother gave birth to him and took him to her people. So I was thinking that Allah put the revelations in his mind beforehand and the Injeel was never actually written. This whole time the Injeel was just memorized inside Isa's mind. **If the Injeel was actually a written text, don't you think someone would have found it by now?** Instead, people keep finding very old un-canonical gospels written by Isa's disciples. No one ever finds the actual Injeel or what some people call "The Gospel of Jesus". I could be wrong but I think the Injeel was in Isa's mind this whole time....not in actual text.

In Sahih Bukhari,in the 3rd Book (كتاب العلم) in Chapter 39. (The writing of knowledge (باب كِتَابَةِ الْعِلْمِ), 111th Hadith states the following: > Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked Ali, 'Have you got any book (which has been revealed to the Prophet (ﷺ) apart from the Qur'an)?' Ali replied, 'No, except Allah's Book or the power of understanding which has been bestowed (by Allah) upon a Muslim or what is (written) in this sheet of paper (with me).' Abu Juhaifa said, "I asked, 'What is (written) in this sheet of paper?' `Ali replied, it deals with The Diyya (compensation (blood money) paid by the killer to the relatives of the victim), the ransom for the releasing of the captives from the hands of the enemies, and the law that no Muslim should be killed in Qisas (equality in punishment) for the killing of (a disbeliever). > > حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَلِيٍّ هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ كِتَابٌ قَالَ لاَ، إِلاَّ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ، أَوْ فَهْمٌ أُعْطِيَهُ رَجُلٌ مُسْلِمٌ، أَوْ مَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَمَا فِي هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةِ قَالَ الْعَقْلُ، وَفَكَاكُ الأَسِيرِ، وَلاَ يُقْتَلُ مُسْلِمٌ بِكَافِرٍ‏.‏ *"No, except Allah's Book"*. Does that mean the only revelation was the Quran and the Sunnah is not a revelation just the practical understanding of the Quran? Would not this information change the concept how we classify which Hadith is Sahih which is not?

Aoa sir... i want to know another thing about revelation that .Sir we all know that Holy Quran was not revealed fully through Angel jibreel there are some verses which Allah almighty himself revealed on Holy prophet directly like verse 286 of surah baqarah and many more.but in surah baqarah verse 97 allah says that >  Say, "Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel - it is [none but] he who has brought the Qur'an down upon your heart, [O Muhammad], by permission of Allah, confirming that which was before it and as guidance and good tidings for the believers." and in surah nahl Allah says, > "Say, [O Muhammad], "The Pure Spirit has brought it down from your Lord in truth to make firm those who believe and as guidance and good tidings to the Muslims." so in both verses Allah is saying that Holy Quran was revealed through angel jibreel by permission of Allah but we know that there are some verses which allah revealed directly to Prophet Muhammad[S.A.W]. Plz explain this to me.A nxiouly waiting...for

As-salamu alaykum! I would like to ask you to recommend me a good book on Islamic apologetics/fundamental theology. Especially, I would like to better understand the concept of Revelation and Prophethood and the proofs of the Prophethood of Muhammad (ﷺ), such as ’i‘jāz or Splitting of the Moon miracle; I have read something on it, but in a too scattered way, I would like to study this topic in a more thorough and systematic way. Is there any good and thorough scholarly work on this topic in English or French? I would prefer scholarly, academic works. Thank you very much for your recommendation.

When the angel Gabriel first came to the Prophet to reveal the Qur’an, how did the Prophet know that it was an angel from Allah? Are there any written explanations?

Is there any physical description of the Prophet while the Qur’an was being revealed to him? I mean his body posture, eyes open or closed, etc. Were there multiple witnesses with him when he was in the “trances”? All I have found so far is: A'isha: " وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الشَّدِيدِ الْبَرْدِ فَيُفْصِمُ عَنْهُ وَإِنَّ جَبِينَهُ لَيَتَفَصَّدُ عَرَقًا" ‏"I saw it coming down on him on an intensely cold day, and when it had left him his forehead was dripping with sweat." [Muwatta Malik] And: “One day the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was sitting amongst us that he dozed off. He then raised his head smilingly. We said: What makes you smile. Messenger of Allah? He said: A Sura has just been revealed to me, and then recited: In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. Verily We have given thee Kauthar (fount of abundance).” ... (sahih Muslim) As-Suyuti in his itqan explained that what seemed to be a nap or a doz off for the sahaba or more exactly for Anas (who apparently saw this the first time), was apparently the kind of absence or state of absence that our Prophet experienced after a revelation based on ahadith like in sahih Muslim and sahih al-Bukhari (where this state was called الْبُرَحَاءِ).

When we ask people who we call them as kafeer to follow Allah's revelation, Allah says that they will answer like in surah Al-Baqarah verse 2:170. > *When it is said to them, “Follow what Allah has revealed,” they reply, “No! We only follow what we found our forefathers practicing.” Would they still do so, even if their forefathers had absolutely no understanding or guidance?.* Honestly I have some non-muslims friends and in my experiences they never answered me like that. They just said that they're not convinced. Nothing else. Just like us, they also believe that they follow the true religion, not just their forefathers'. But at the same time very often I heard muslims especially sheikhs say something like this. > We must be grateful to be born in Islam. Something weird here. How can we be grateful to be born with the religion of our ancestors while at the same time the verse itself says that we need to follow Allah not our ancestors since they know nothing. Let's talk statistics. Out of all growth of any fastest growing religion today, only 0.6% come from conversion. The rest is from higher fertility rates. That means 99.4% of someone's religion was inherited from their parents not because they learn the truth. So how to prove that we're not among those who inherit their faith from their forefathers like said in the verse above?.

I did some superficial googling on the subject and I found that the transmissions of the story of the satanic verses incident is considered "weak" so this must mean there are some documented Hadiths about them. Can somebody provide me with the references of as many different hadiths that speak about this incident as possible? As wherever I looked, nobody who mentioned it on an article, YouTube video or book would ever give hadith references for the incident and I myself could not find any on the translated books on Sunnah.com and navigating the untranslated Hadith books is difficult for me, although not impossible. Please give references to hadiths that relate the satanic verses incident regardless if its in Arabic or not.

I came across the text below: *In short, this is direct knowledge from Allah. However, there is a distinction between a prophet and a saint (wali), in that a prophet, receives (wahy) revelation from Allah, accompanied by a ruh (spirit) from Allah. Ilham (inspiration) from Allah is accompanied by sakina (tranquillity) from Allah. The difference being, Wahy (revelation) is always clear and correct, while Ilham (inspiration) may be fractured (unclear) and incomplete (especially in the beginning), which is why Shaykh Abu Hasan Ash Shadhili said, “If your spiritual unveilings contradict the Book and the Sunna, act upon the book and the sunna and leave off your unveiling and say to yourself, ‘Allah guaranteed infallibility in the Book and the Sunna and has not guaranteed that in spiritual unveiling and inspiration.’* My questions regarding the above text are: 1. Is the wahy (revelation) mentioned above specifically being discussed in the context of prophets and, therefore, the Quran's revelation? 2. Can and do ordinary human beings get wahy (revelation) from Allah? If so, can normal Muslims get wahy (revelation) for something in their life or the unseen etc? 3. Or is Wahy (revelation) a word that is purely used to describe the revelation that prophets used to receive and therefore is in no way, related to the ordinary individual.

The hadith reported by Ahmad, At-Tirmithi, Ibn Maajah and An-Nasaa’i, it was narrated by Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri may Allaah be pleased with him who said: “The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said: **''Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn are the masters of the youth of Paradise.”** Shaykh Al-Albaani may Allaah have mercy upon him classified it as Saheeh [sound]. The hadith doesnt negate other people from holding the title "masters of youth". The hadith doesnt rule out third son of Ali and fatima, muhsin. Provided there is consensus (ijma) which says **muhsin will be in paradise**. Imaam al-Nawawi said: the reliable Muslim scholars agreed that **any Muslim child who dies will be among the people of Paradise,** because he was not responsible (i.e., had not yet reached the age of account). (Sharh Muslim, 16/207). So the question is do we have other masters of youth in paradise?

How do we know that the quran is from god, and, before you tell me something like all the scientific accuracy of it, my real question is, how do we know it is from god, and not another being, that, is able to know all the stuff the quran says? How do we know the hadith where the prophet says stuff, he got it from Allah?

In my childhood, We were told in books that when the prophet reached the age of 40, **that is the age when prophethood is revealed**, the Angel Gabriel appeared to him in the Cave of Hira. **My question is, is there any evidence that 40 is the age of Risalaut?** As an argument, I can say that Jesus did not wait till 40 to become prophet. Also Moses AFAIK did not receive revelation at 40. What is the story behind the ago of 40 as the age of Nabuwat or Risalut. I can further argue that if the prophet was declared at an early age, he would have more time preaching the religion and thus fulfilling Allah duties better since the person will be in better health and will have more time preaching the religion.

Was Prophet Muhammad (SAW) a polytheist like others in the Quraish tribe or did he always believe in One God or was he even religious at all?

As all Muslims believe, the Quran was reveled by God to the prophet Muhammed (SAW), and this is what we define as devine revelation. *Furthermore I will use the word **wahy** as a synonym to "devine revelation to the Prophet Muhammed".* We believe this is true: The whole QURAN is wahy. **Does that mean that ALL wahy is in the Quran?** (Excluding abrogated verses) *As a logical example; All lions are cats, whereas not all cats are lions.* - If the answer is NO, then what makes some wahy to be part of the Quran and other not (excluding abrogated verses)? - If the answer is YES, then how does one explain hadiths like this: *(If **all** wahy was in the Quran, then this would be expected to be there too.)* > Allah revealed to me that we should be humble amongst ourselves and none should show pride upon the others ... ‏إن الله تعالى أوحى إلي أن Sahih Muslim Answer the bold question, then one of the sub questions. If possible, provide references. ---------- EDIT: This might be a duplicate of the question: "Does the Quran contain all of Allah's revelations? (Sunni view) ", but as my question includes some sub questions which aren't included in the other question or addressed in the answers, therefore I do not consider it as duplicate. Also I am not only looking for the Sunni view (i don't think there is a difference anyway).

Are these interchangeable terms? Is there a way by which even non prophets can acquire information/communication from the unseen?

What is the relation between the Quran and the hadith? The Quran is the Word of God, but what about the hadith? Are they the interpretations of men or are they also divine revelation? Also does the question of naskh apply in relation between the Quran and the hadith? Do the hadith then abrogate the Quran?

In Islam it is believed that the Quran is “the word of Allah”, meaning that it is given to the prophet word-by-word by the angel Jibril and the prophet transfered it to whomever was around him at the moment. However, not every word that the prophet spoke was a revelation. Sometimes it is the prophet himself speaking and sometimes it is the revelation. How did people know that they heard the Quran when the prophet spoke? Did the prophet specifically stated before and/or after he spoke that it was a revelation?

How do respond to the people, who compare the revelation/descending of the Quran with their wrong belief of Jesus being the son of God on Earth. How is the nature of the Quran in our Earth? (Sunni view)

Is there anything stated in Hadith literature how the Surahs were transferred to public? In particular the longer ones: Were they first written down accoding to the words of the Prophet ﷺ or did he repeat them until others learned them? I know that the Prophet ﷺ used to recite with his scolars behind him. I can imagine that the early surah were memorised in this way as (even though it takes me quite long to learn a short surah, but I am very bad at memorising). However, he even used to recite in silence (e.g. Muslim 4:44 ), so it was possibly not meant to teach during prayer. I wonder in particular whether the longer, less poetic surahs may have been written down in an early stage.

There's this cousin of mine, who claims that Allah sent him a message in the form of sound. Upon asking questions about it, he said that it wasn't Allah directly speaking to him but by the means of something else like an Angel. He won't tell me what Allah said to him which clearly made me think that there was something fishy about it. Yet I wanna know about it. I am looking for a reference from the Holy Qur'an to see wether or not, what he is saying is possible. Thank you :)
