Riddles ... exercise your mind

[Haitham Hamdan]

Received revelation from Allah SWT
but is not a prophet?!
:rolleyes:

[Um Abdullah M.]

The bees (Nahl:68)
and Um Musa alayhi assalam (Qasas:7)

Don't ask me to post a riddle because I don't have riddles.

[Um Abdullah M.]

a question to sh. Haitham
would this type of wahy be called (revelation) in English?

[Haitham Hamdan]

Correct sister Um Abdullah.

Here is another one ...

Salah which could be performed without Wudu?!

[Um Abdullah M.]

salat on the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)

My husband answered this one : )

[Abu Rayhaan]

Nice thread br.Haitham

If its ok with you akhi Haitham i would like to put up the next one insha Allah.

Which pious muslim, who Allah decreed would be a khalifa of rasulilah (صلى الله عليه و سلم), met the prophet(صلى الله عليه و سلم) and believed in him but wasn't a sahabi?.

Is it prophet Isa ASWS?

[Ayman bin khaled]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Is it prophet Isa ASWS?


Shaikh haitham,

Correct me if I am wrong, but when I'ssa ( عليه السلام ) descend in the end of the days he will be under the ruling of ( al-Mahdi). Thus, He cannot be a Khalifa of rasullah in that sense!!

I hope brother Abu Tayhan comes back and let us know the answer, smile

[Abu Rayhaan]

As-Salamu 'Alaykum wa rahmatullah

Please forgive me for not answering you quicker.

Yes, you are correct sh Haitham. It is 'Isa ibn Marium (عليه سلام)

I thought i could confuse people with saying he was a muslim and the other parts. :)

"The Hour will not be established until the Son of Marium descends amongst you as a just ruler, he will break the cross, kill the pigs, and abolish the Jizyah tax. Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it (as charitable gifts)"

Sahih al-Bukhari (656)




"By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, surely ('isa,) the Son of Marium will soon descend amongst you and will judge mankind justly (as a Just Ruler); he will break the Cross and kill the pigs and there will be no Jizyah (i.e. taxation taken from non Muslims). Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allah (in prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it..... "

Sahih al-Bukhari (657)


"How will you be when the Son of Marium (i.e. 'isa ) descends amongst you and he will judge people by the law of the Qur'an and not by the law of injeel.

Sahih al-Bukhari (658)


Ok now one of you brothers need to bring up a new riddle, try and make it harder than my weak one :)

[Ayman bin khaled]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Jazak Allah khier akhi alkareem (Abu Rayhan) I got myself confused since I know that I'ssa ( عليه السلام ) will be under the ruling of the Mahdi but did not pay attention to the fact that later on, after Mahid death, he will rule and be the khalifa. ( smile)

Okie, let me put a question:


There is a Sura that in its first 7 verses, Allah swears by one thing in each verse. what is this Sura?

[Abu Maryam Alsalafi]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
الحمد لله و السلام علي من لا نبي بعده
السلام عليكم و رحمة الله


There is a Sura that in its first 7 verses, Allah swears by one thing in each verse. what is this Sura?

Surah Al-Shams (no. 91)

Keep the questions coming. It is nice to exercise the mind

[Haitham Hamdan]

Two fitnas that everyone loves
and
A truth which everyone hates

[Ayman bin khaled]

بسم اله الرحمن الرحيم

I think the answer is

two Fitna that every one loves are money and children

the truth which everyone hates is death

wallahu A'lam

[Haitham Hamdan]

Correct brother Ayman.

An obligatory prayer that if missed could never be redone (Qadaa’)?!

[juwairiyah]

Assalamu'alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Salaatul eid'ain Allahualam

[Abdurrahman]

salaam,

Salatul Janazaah?

[Haitham Hamdan]

Salaatul eid'ain Allahualam
It is a matter of dispute if Salatul eidain in obligatory. I am looking for something agreed apon.
Salatul Janazaah?
No!
Janazah prayer is not obligatory. It can be redone atr a later time if missed.

[juwairiyah]

Assalaamu'alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

salaatul jum'aa

if a person misses it then he has to offer salaatul dhuhr Allahualam

[Haitham Hamdan]

Waalykum Assalam warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh.
Good job sister Juwairiyah.

[Abu Fudayl]

Waalykum Assalam warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh.
Good job sister Juwairiyah.

From what I know there is a difference of opinion regarding this as well. This is probably the correct opinion, but I have heard that there are ulema who say that if you miss Jumaa you still have to pray Jumaa. WallahuAlim.

[Haitham Hamdan]

A certain dead animal, the blood of which is processed and thereafter becomes pure (طاهر)?!

[Haitham Hamdan]

It seems like this was a tough one.
Musk is made from deer blood.

[juwairiyah]

assalamu'alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

did nt know this jazakAllahukhair sheikh

[juwairiyah]

assalamu'alaykum warahnatullahi wabarakatuh

[Haitham Hamdan]

He is a companion of the Prophet ASWS.
OK ... Is he from the Muhaajireen? ... yes.
Is he from the Ansar? ... yes.
He is from both?! ... yes.

[Abu Rayhaan]

Salman al-farsi radiallahu 'anhu

He made hijrah to madina because the authentic parts of the injeel told him the next prophet would be in madina. Thats hijra

He was with the ansar when the prophet came.

Thats why the muhajireen and ansar used to say he was one of them.

Am i right?

[Haitham Hamdan]

Jazakallahu khairan Brother abuRayhaan,
Salmaan RAA was not a Muhaajir because he did not perform Hijrah from Maccan to Madeenah.
He was also not an Ansari, because he was not local to Yathrib.
So he was neither, not both.
Abu Hurairah RAA was also neither a Muhaajir nor an Ansari. So were those who embraced Islam and did Hijrah after the Hudaubiyah treaty or after the libarartion of Mecca.

Wallau A'lam.

[Umm Muawiyah]

Salamu Alaikum.

Brother Haitham, can we have a hint?

Was it a Sahaabaa who lived it Makkah but was from Madinah originally? Or someone who was from Makkah but had maternal family living in Madinah?

[Haitham Hamdan]

Was it a Sahaabaa who lived it Makkah but was from Madinah originally?
Yes. Then they immigrated back to Madinah with the Prophet ASWS.
In fact there were three of them.

[Al-Laghmaanee]

He is a companion of the Prophet ASWS.
OK ... Is he from the Muhaajireen? ... yes.
Is he from the Ansar? ... yes.
He is from both?! ... yes.

Can it possibily be Mu'aadh Ibn Jabal (radi allahu anhu)?

[Haitham Hamdan]

No, because Muaath RAA is Ansari from the tribe of Awss, not Muhaajir.
He did witness the 'Aqabah Bay'ah.

[sami al-muhajr]

Bismilah wasalamu 3alaikum wara7matulah...

researched it down to 4 people...

1. Thakwan ibn 'Abd Qays (Al-Ansari)
2. Ziyad bin Labeed ibn tha'lba (Al-Ansari)
3. 3bas ibn 3ubada ibn Nudhla ibn Malik
4. 3uqba ibn wahb ibn kilda (or kulda)

Wallahu A3Lm!

[Haitham Hamdan]

Excellent brother Sami. But you did not tell us how they are Muhaajireen and Ansar at the same time.

[sami al-muhajr]

Bismilahir-ra7manir-ra7eem:

I thought the sister's distinction "that they must have been Madaniyeen
that were in Makkah at the time of hijra" would have sufficed

Neverhteless;

They were of the few to overlap between being Ansari (i.e. originally from Madeena) and Muhajiri from the people who did the Hijra with the prophet SAWS. So they were from the Muhajirin as they did Hijra with him SAWS but also had homes and dwellings which they shared and welcomed the Muhajirins to once they reached Madeena; which makes them Ansari

1. As for Thakwan (R.A) :

(from At-tabaqat Al-Kubra for Ibn S3d)

Thakwan ibn 3bd Qays ibn Khlda ibn MukhL-Ld ibn 3amr ibn Zareeq, and is nick-named Abu Sb3 and his mother is
from AshJ3. And it is said that he was the first of the Ansar to becomse Muslim,
him and As3d ibn Zurara - Abu Umama - and they had went out to Makkah together
and heard of The Prophet SAWS
so they came to him and converted to Islam and went back to Madeena.
and ThakWan witnessed both 3aqaba's in all of their (???I'm not sure who the Dhameer returns to but I guess
it can not hurt the translation in this case)
narrations, and then he caught up with the Prophet SAWS in MAkkah and he settled there
until he (R.A) made hijra back to Madeena so he was considered (MUHAJIRI ANSARI)


(from Al-Istibsar fee Nasb As-sa7abati min Al-Ansar for Ibn Qudama Al-Maqdsi)

2. Ziyad ibn Labeed ibn Th3Lba ibn sinan ibn 3amir ibn 3uday ibn Umayya ibn Bayadha, nick-named abu 3bdilah;
he went out to the messenger Sallah Allahu 3alayhi Was-salam in Makkah and settled with him SAWS until making hijra back to Madeena
so it was related of him to be (MUHAJIRI ANSARI)


(from Asd Al-'3aba Fee M3rift As-sa7aba for Ibn Al-Atheer)

"3. 3bbas ibn 3ubada ibn Nadhla ibn Malik ibn Al-3ijlan ibn Zayd ibn Ghnm ibn Salim ibn 3awf ibn 3mru
ibn 3awf ibn Al-KhazrJ ibn Th3Lba Al-Ansari Al-KhZrJi...and also 3bbas went out to the Prophet Sallah Allahu 3alayhi was-salam, while he SAWS was in Makkah,
and settled with him until Hijra to Madeena and is considered (ANSARI MUHAJIRI)"



(from Al-Isaba fee Tmyeez As-sa7abah for Ibn 7ajar Al-3sqalani) - ra7imahullah and the rest of the abovementioned)

4. 3uqba ibn Wahb ibn Kulda ibn Al-J3d ibn Hilal ibn Al-7arith ibn 3mru ibn 3uday ibn Jshm ibn 3awf ibn Bih-tha ibn 3bdila ibn '3atfan affiliates
of bani Salim from the Ansar. Ibn Is-7aq said : He was the first to become muslim from the Ansar and followed the Messenger SAWS
and remained in Makkah until Hijra so it was refered to him as (ANSARI MUHAJIRI)

Was-salamu 3alaykum

[Ayman bin khaled]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Lived at The time of the prophet ( صلى الله عليه و سلم ) but he never met him. Yet, the Prophet made a Dua'a for him...Who is He?

[Bint Nail]

king Negus of Abyssinia?

[Ayman bin khaled]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

It is correct but not the answer to my Question. I should have added more information so here it is:

He was called By Umar bin Alkhattab as ( the Master)

[Abu Yaqoob]

assalamu alaykum

i think Uways al-Qarni?

[Ayman bin khaled]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

The prophet did not make Dua'a to Uwais Al-Qarni but he advised Umar to ask him to make dua for him i.e. Umar.

Try Harder wink

[Bint Nail]

BIsmillah,

Since An Najashi and Uways Al Qarni were wrong answers, could you give more tips? Like was it and elder or youth, or what is the arabic word Umar ibn Al Khattab used in adressing him?

[Ayman bin khaled]

fبسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

He was elder and Umar called him ( السيد ) which means the master.

he was very respectabe amongst his tribe and others and he is known with his intelligance.

[juwairiyah]

assalamu'alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

is it bilal r.a. but he met muhammed s.aw. ... no i dont know allah ualam

[Salah ad-Din]

I'm not sure..but I know that Umar highly respected Abdullah bin Mas'ud...
but ibn Masud died after Umar bin al-Khattab and i dont know who of them was elder...

[juwairiyah]

assalamu'alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

so whats the answer ??

[Ayman bin khaled]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

The answer is:

Al-Ahnaf Bin Qais........ الأحنف بن قيس

(Smile)

[juwairiyah]

assalamu'alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

aww never heard of him.. what special characteristic did he have which made him so special that muhammed sallahu 'alaihi wasallam made duaa for him

[Ayman bin khaled]

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

He lived at the time of the prophet ( صلى الله عليه و سلم ) but never seen him. Yet, as it was mentioned that at the time the prophet ( صلى الله عليه و سلم ) sent people to deliver the Message of Islam to his tribe, the Ahnaf said after hearing what the messenger said about Islam: He calls for goodness and I hear nothing but goodness. This reached the ears of the prophet ( صلى الله عليه و سلم ) so he made Du'a that Allah forgives him; Al-Ahnaf bin Qais.

He was a noble, wise, calm, reasonable, master in his people, best talker, generous, trust worthy. scholars classified him as Thiqa and a noble maste. scholars like Imam Bukhari, Muslim, Abu dawd, Tirmithi, NOsaie and Ibn Majah narrated hadiths via his narration.

So May Allah bestows his Mercy upon Al-Ahnaf and may Allah forgives him.

Ok,

There are two houses, one with three light bulbs and the other one with three switches. You are only allowed into each house once. There are no windows, you can't get your friend to go in, nothing like that. You have to find out which switch operates which bulb.

Apparently this is a microsoft test which you have to pass in order to work for them. Imagine this in a real life situation, since the actual test will have real houses, a real light bulb, etc.

ok, let me try

first u go in the house where the switches are.
press the first switch and leave it on for about 3 to 5 minutes, then switch it off and press the second switch and then go to the second house.

The light bulb that is on is the second switch.
And from the two that are left, the one that is warm is the first switch, and the last bulb is the third switch.

I hope I got it right.

[Um Abdullah M.]

it took me between 5 to 10 minutes.
but I don't always figure it out that fast, sometimes I could sit half an hour or more to figure out some riddles. But they are good to exercise the brain.

أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَى
كَلَّا لَئِنْ لَمْ يَنْتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًا بِالنَّاصِيَةِ

I could only remember the one in surat Yusuf ... "La Yakunan Min .."

I could not come up with the one in surat Al Alaq ... Subhan Allah.

Jazakah Allah Khair for posting

[Um Abdullah M.]

لَنَسْفَعًا

[Abu Maryam Alsalafi]

Correct.
<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: bbcode_quote --> I could only remember the one in surat Yusuf ... "La Yakunan Min .."
Correct! It is:
وَلَيَكُونًا مِّنَ الصَّاغِرِينَ
Now if you need to make waqf at these two words, you read lanasfa'aa and layakunaa, with two harakaat of mudd 'iwadh (مدّ عوض) and these are the only 2 occurances of this in the Quraan. If u dont make waqf then the usual rules of tanween follow [iqlaab and idghaam naaqis, respectively].

But alhamdulilaah, I needed to review the surah anyway!

Barak Allahu feek akhi Abu Maryam, that's very interesting! Someone once pointed out to me the instance in Surat Yusuf, and we had thought that it was the only time in the Qur'an. If I am not mistaken, that is the lesser form of nun at-tawkeed? SubhanAllah Allah's Words are so perfect...

Sister, tajweed is a science that cannot be learned by reading. u must learn it from a teacher.
a verb (فعل) is fundamentally different from noun (اسم) in that verbs cannot end with tanween (اٌ --اٍ--ًا sound. In urdu two zabar(fathah), two zair(kasrah), two paish(dhummah)). nouns can, and that is how we distinguish nouns from verbs. Now, when we wish to stop at nouns in the Qur'aan which end with اٌ --اٍ--ًا in the case of -اً only we elongate the sound as if we are pronouncing two alifs (ا). The time span of each alif is if you normamally close a finger or open it. If it were a verb, we would have stopped and pronounced the noon ن and stop completely. This is the normal case of verb. In the two exceptions i mentioned, u must elongate it as if u r pronouncing a verb. This is becuase Uthman radhiallahuanhu wrote the Quraan like this, not that it altewrs the meaning. This is a further proof that Quraan is Preserved by Allah the way it was revealed.

[Islam_OurWayOfLife]

In currently learning tajweed, alhamdulilah i love it.
Jazaak Allahu khair for giving a brief comparison b/w noun and verb. Never knew a verb cant end with tanween.

Ok everybody seems to be running out lol so I'll post something, it's not strictly a riddle but it's close enough, something we covered once in a class:

Some of the philosophers say that "there is no such thing as knowledge". However some others criticised them for this by stating that this is false, how can you say there is no such thing as knowledge, except if this statement of yours is knowledge in and of itself! So basically if you say "there is no such thing as knowledge" then you're contradicting yourself because you're considering the statement you made to be knowledge!

However, the first group still defended their belief that there's no such thing as knowledge. The question is: how did they respond to this problem?

Oh man I did some philosophy for one year...it did my head in bad, coz it was so stupid. The teacher will be sitting on a chair and he'd be like "how do you know this is a chair...how do you know im sitting on a chair...what if its not a chair"

Im guessing he said something like "How do you know its knowledge...what is knowledge" lol

[Shakeel]

lol that's why I used to love it

how do you know I'm typing this right now, how do you know I even exist?

by the way the riddle remains open, admittedly I had to read it next time I looked in the book, never figured it out myself, I would rate anyone who does...

bismillah

assalamu'alaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

"there's no thing as knowledge "itself indicates that he is affirming there exists knowledge.Had there been nothing called knowledge then he wld nt have said the above sentence..
So his denial is itself an affirmation

allahualam

[Shakeel]

wa'alaykum as-salaam

yea that's the criticism of the statement "theres no such thing as knowledge" but the question is how do we respond to this criticism? that was my question.

[Shakeel]

Sorry for such a boring riddle lol

Basically they said that the statement "There is no such thing as knowledge" is not known for certain itself, it's possible that this statement is not true either, so this is not knowledge either. Therefore it's possible that the statement "There is such a thing as knowledge" is true, therefore there is such a thing as knowledge, but this is not true for certain either, therefore there is no such thing as knowledge, and this statement of mine is not knowledge either!

Of course it's all nonsense as we know that knowledge does exist as has been affirmed in the book and the sunnah. But it's like one of the muslim philosophers, he asked his son what he believed, and after his son told him he said something along the words:

"Good for you, for I have no idea what my belief is" and he wept until his beard became wet.

(Something along these lines maybe somebody could correct me and quote the story for the benefit)

Ma'as-salaam!

[Islam_OurWayOfLife]

So my answer was somewhat correct..

[Shakeel]

Oh yea it was actually, I must've interpreted it differently first time I saw it, anyways Im out lol dont have time to think of riddles, this forum is gonna get me kicked out of uni!

Ma'as-salaam!

[Islam_OurWayOfLife]

Here's one -

The man who invented it doesn't want it for himself, the man who bought it doesn't need it form himself, the man who needs it doesn't know it when he needs it ?

Assalamu alaikum,

I find this question interesting: a sunnah of the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) that only one human being in the world can be performing at a particular moment in time ...?

The answer I was looking for is an action that can be performed by the "layperson": kissing the black stone during Tawaf. (although many a time it's so crowded that it's hard getting close enough even to touch it with your hand, let alone kissing it <smile>).

[Mahmoud Al-Misri]

Abu Bakr an-Nabulsi and Ahmad bin Nasr al-Khuza'i.

أحسنت

That was quick too, Masha Allah. Now, I know who I will call in who wants to be a millionare, phone a friend (smile) - just kidding

Ahmad ibn Nasr [May Allah shower him with Mercy] is the one I had in mind.

I did not recall Abu Bakr Al-Nabulsi [May Allah shower him with Mercy] being beheaded though.

[Shakeel]

I was sent this the other day...

They call me a man, but I'll never have a wife.
I was given a body, but not given life.
They made me a mouth, but didn't give me breath.
Water gives me life and sun brings me death
What am I?
