Events Trivia Questions
1. In which month is Hajj or Pilgrimage?

From Quiz Hajj-Pilgrimage

Answer: Zu El-Heja

Rabi Al-Awal is the month when the Prophet (P.B.U.H) was born. Rajab has the Israa and Mi'raj. No special event happens in Jumada Al-Ola.

2. There were only 300 Muslims fighting in the Battle of Badr. How many men did the Meccans have fighting?

From Quiz The Battle of Badr

Answer: About 1000

The Muslims were outnumbered three to one, so the result of the battle came as a sign from God that they could actually win this war. Most of the Muslim warriors who fought in that day were recent converts called ansars, who only pledged to defend Medina, and so they were well within their rights to leave, but when the Prophet asked if they would like to leave, one of the ansars said, "If you [Muhammad] order us to plunge our horses into the sea, we would do so."

3. How many nights are you supposed to stay in Arafat?

From Quiz Hajj

Answer: 0

You go to Arafat from Mina, and pray Zuhr and Asr there. You should pray these two prayers combined, so you have more time to worship God. You then go to Muzdalifah to spend the night. You do not spend the night in Arafat, but in Muzdalifah.

4. During the heat of the Battle of Badr, the Prophet Muhammad was said to have done what?

From Quiz The Battle of Badr

Answer: Thrown sand into the air in the direction of the enemy

It is said that Muhammad threw sand into the air, and God made the sand go into the Quaraish's eyes giving the Muslim army a chance.

5. When do people leave Arafat?

From Quiz Hajj-Pilgrimage

Answer: After sunset

From Arafat they go to Al-Muzdalefa.

6. When are you supposed to leave Muzdalifah?

From Quiz Hajj

Answer: When daylight has been wide spread

Muzdalifa is an open ground, where you spend the night. There is nothing, but dirt under you and the sky above you. You should pray Fajr at Muzadalifa, then after daylight has become widespread, you can leave to go back to Mina. You should not leave right at sunrise, but a bit later, after the sun has completely risen. (Some infirm hajji are given a dispensation to leave immediately after Fajr, so they can have a bit of a head start on the rest of the crowd.)

7. The Battle of Badr is a battle in Islamic history in which it is said that angels participated. An angel who revealed the Quran to the Prophet is also said to have commanded the thousands of angels at Badr. Who was this angel?

From Quiz The Battle of Badr

Answer: Gabriel

Azrael is the Angel of Death who with some helpers rip the soul out of the body when someone dies. Michael is responsible for thunder and lightning and is responsible for giving out rewards to good people in life. Israfil is responsible for blowing the horn signaling the Day of Judgement. Gabriel was in charge of bringing the revelation to all the prophets, and commanded the thousands of angels in Badr. From the Quran 8:9, "Remember ye implored the assistance of your Lord, and He answered you: 'I will assist you with a thousand of the angels, ranks on ranks.'" Also, it is said that there was a conversation between Gabriel and Muhammad about this, which went: Gabriel asked, "How do you look upon the warriors of Badr among yourselves?" The Prophet said, "As the best of the Muslims." Or said a similar statement. On that, Gabriel said, "And so are the Angels who participated in the Badr."

9. What else is God said to have done to the Meccan's the night before the Battle of Badr?

From Quiz The Battle of Badr

Answer: Heavy rain fell on the hill where they were camped

Both armies were camped behind two hills leading into the valley where the battle would take place. It is said that during the night, it rained heavily on the hill which the Quaraish side needed to get to the battle, making it hard to climb. However, it only rained just right on the Muslim side, making the ground not too sandy, and not too muddy, and easier to climb. As a result, the sun (and the heat) was up by the time they got to the summit. And the Muslims could set up another camp and rest.
