Bismillah
salam Curious,
Wow Mash aAllah, this is an excellent test to take.
Only few mistakes:
4) The Quran, <b>although produced by Mohammed, </b> was actually written by Allah.
Quran was Revealed from Allah to Mohamed prayer and peace be upon him thru the Arch Angle Gabriel. Just a brief extra. Logically enough, if Quran was produced by Mohamed prayer and peace be upon him , or he had anything to do with, this would make us Muslims worship him. Remember Curious, Quran contains what we have to do/ not do, how to worship, when to fast, why we fast, where to eat....etc. Thus, such rules and regulations must be coming only from The Only Deity Worth to be worshiped Allah. Mohamed prayer and peace be upon him was only the Messenger who conveyed the message. Ok
Fatwa is an opinion given by Muslim scholars. Fatwa's do not have to be followed. (as a side question, some Fatwa's are enforced by governments and punishable by death are they not? e.g. Men having beards in the Taliban regime?)
More on this point, Fatwas must be well supported by Quran and Hadeeth. I mean I cannt just wake up and say O I will issue a fatwa regarding so and so, unless Im a well versed scholar and basing my fatwa on Quran and hadeeth. I never heard that failure to enforce a fatwa is punishable by death.
(what will he do when he returns?)
He will kill Pseudo Messiah, rule by Islam and fill the world with good, Nasarah who are present at that time, will follow him on Islam.
"And there is none of the People of the Scripture, but must believe in him [Jesus, son of Mary, as only a Messenger of Allah and a human being], before his [Jesus alayhis-salaam or a Jew's or a Christian's] death (at the time of the appearance of the angel of death). And on the Day of Resurrection, he [Jesus] will be a witness against them." (Quran 4:159)
however, with all due respect to the translator may Allah Reward him, but the his death here is in reference to Jesus prayer and peace be upon him. It means that none of the people of the scripture that would believe in Jesus (Eassa) as a Prophet and Messenger when he returns to earth before his death.
Other wise, Curious you ve done excellent Mash aAllah.
