As-salaamu`alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh
Perhaps a quiz on Islam to increase our knowledge.....
Allah, the Exalted, says:
[b:8ed46ea9d7]"And say: `My Rubb! Increase me in knowledge.'' (20:114)
"Are those who know equal to those who know not?''' (39:9)
"Allah will exalt in degree those of you who believe, and those who have been granted knowledge.'' (58:11)
"It is only those who have knowledge among His slaves that fear Allah.'' (35:28[/b:8ed46ea9d7]
Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "The guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me are like abundant rain which fell on a land. A fertile part of it absorbed the water and brought forth profuse herbage and pasture; and solid ground patches which retained the water by which Allah has benefited people, who drank from it, irrigated their crops and sowed their seeds; and another sandy plane which could neither retain the water nor produce herbage. Such is the similitude of the person who becomes well-versed in the religion of Allah and receives benefit from the Message entrusted to me by Allah, so he himself has learned and taught it to others; such is also the similitude of the person who has stubbornly and ignorantly rejected Allah's Guidance with which I have been sent.''

And so to start the ball rolling......

<span>I pray to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to forgive me for any errors or shortcomings. May Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta'ala keep us on the Path that pleases Him. Ameen! </span>
