Question
These are my questions: 1) With Abdullah Ibn Saโad there is a Hadith in which he glorified Allah and the Prophet ordered him to add it in there. Then he had doubts and mixed up the wording from the next revelation and the Prophet agreed it was correct. My question is if the Quran is preserved why is there error in how it is written down? 2) With regards to Eid Al Ghadeer and the Treaty between Muโawiyah and Hassan. Why did Muโawiyah break it and does it not prove the Shia right for following the Ahlul Bayt because if we follow the timeline then the corrupt Islam came from dynasties? And if the Prophet said to whomsoever I am Mawla, Ali is also their Mawla. Then does that mean that the right successor shouldโve been Ali? 3) With regards to Bahira the Nestorian monk and the Prophet meeting him in childhood along with Umar and Bilal. Firstly, why is he never mentioned again after that incident? And how could the Prophet have known Bilal and Umar in his childhood when it is documented that Bilal first heard about Islam as a slave? 4) How could Jibraeel put mud in Firauns mouth when angels do not have free will? 5) How did Jibraeel take a black speck from the Prophets heart and wash it with zam zam water but the Prophet somehow did not remember this? As he was frightened in the cave seeing Jibraeel for the first time? 6) Why did the Prophet praise Lat and Uzza? 7) With regards to the concept of original sin what do the Muslims says about it? 8) I personally believe Hinduism is a corrupt form of Islam due to the similarities between Ibrahim and Brahma and also their folklore including Adam/Eve etc and Ram being born in Arabia, therefore would it be tangible to suggest that Hindu Gods were not Gods but Prophets of Allah? 9. What does Islam say about Guru Nanak? I personally believe he was an innovator but preached Islam? 10. What does Islam say about Buddha and ZoroAster, personally I believe they were also Prophets? 11. With regards to Saad Ibn Abi Waqas- Umar his son was the general of Yazids army?? He also narrated a Hadith which he said he never heard the prophet promise Jannah to anyone except a reverted Jewish scholar? But he was promised Jannah himself? 12. I canโt get my head around Sahih Al Bukhari 6982; the Prophet tried to kill himself multiple times, but the Quran firmly says that suicide is haram? 13. Please explain Sahih Al Bukhari 5765, why did black magic make the Prophet think about sex? 14. Explain Tafsir Aljalalayn, with respects to how Shaytaan can influence scripture?
Islamic Ruling & Answer
Verified(1) The issue of Abdullah ibn Saโd
The incident is not authentic in the way it is often presented. The Quran itself states that Allah has taken responsibility for its preservation, so no individual could make any changes to it.
(2) Ghadir Khumm and the MuโawiyahโHasan matter
There is no doubt about the virtue of Ali ibn Abi Talib, but the word โMawlaโ means love, support, and closenessโnot a clear appointment of political leadership.
The matter between Muawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan and Hasan ibn Ali was a political treaty, and beliefs are not based on such political events.
(3) The story of Bahira the monk
The narration about Bahira is weak, and the claim that Umar ibn al-Khattab and Bilal ibn Rabah were present in the Prophetโs childhood is historically incorrect.
(4) Jibreel and firaun
Jibreel acts only by the command of Allah. Angels do not act on their own will.
(5) The opening of the chest (Shaqq al-Sadr)
The correct understanding is that this incident is known through revelation or through what the Prophet ๏ทบ later informed the companionsโnot merely through personal memory.
As for the fear during the first revelation, that was completely natural. Seeing Jibreel in his full and awe-inspiring form for the first time was an entirely new and overwhelming experience.
Therefore, there is no contradiction: one event relates to childhood (known later through revelation), while the other is the immediate experience of the first revelation.
(6) Praise of Lat and Uzza
The โSatanic versesโ story is weak and false. It is not proven with authentic chains in reliable books like Sahih al-Bukhari. The Prophet ๏ทบ never praised Lat or Uzza.
The Quran clearly states that revelation is protected.
If you has a reliable reference, they should present it and ask again.
(7) Concept of Original Sin
In Islam, there is no concept of inherited sin. Every human is born pure and is responsible only for their own actions.
(8) About Hinduism
It is possible that ancient religions originally had some monotheistic teachings, but there is no solid proof that specific Hindu gods were definitely prophets.
(9) Guru Nanak
Guru Nanak is not considered a prophet in Islam. He may be seen as a reformer, but his teachings are not fully in line with Islamic beliefs.
(10) Buddha and Zoroaster
Buddha and Zoroaster cannot be definitively confirmed as prophets. It is possible, but there is no clear evidence.
(11) Saโd ibn Abi Waqqas
Saโd ibn Abi Waqqas is a noble companion and was promised Paradise.
His son Umar ibn Saโd had a separate role, and the father is not responsible for the sonโs actions.
The hadith he narrated was based on what he personally heard, not a denial of other virtues.
(12) Bukhari 6982 (suicide issue)
In Sahih al-Bukhari, the wording suggesting suicide is an insertion (idraj) and not part of the original hadith. The Prophet ๏ทบ is free from such actions.
(13) Effect of magic
The effect of magic was limited to physical perception only. It did not affect revelation or the message of Islam. The Prophet ๏ทบ remained fully protected.
(14) Shaytan and revelation (Tafsir al-Jalalayn)
According to Tafsir al-Jalalayn, Shaytan can only whisper; he cannot alter revelation.
The Quran confirms that Allah Himself protects the revelation.
