Pre Islamic Arabia- Muhammad

Muhammad being known as Al Amin, which means "the trusted one," is a well-known fact. This title was given to him by the people of Mecca due to his honesty, sincerity, and trustworthiness in both personal and business matters. Muhammad's reputation as a trustworthy individual was so strong that even his opponents acknowledged it. Therefore, it is true that Muhammad was known as Al Amin.

According to the statement, Muhammad was visited by an angel and instructed to recite, which eventually became the Qur'an. This suggests that the statement is true, indicating that Muhammad's encounter with the angel was the beginning of the revelation of the Qur'an.

The statement suggests that the poor and marginalised individuals were attracted to Islam because it promotes social justice. This means that Islam provides support and advocates for equal rights and opportunities for all members of society, regardless of their socioeconomic status. The strong social justice message of Islam would resonate with those who are disadvantaged and seeking fairness and equality. As a result, it can be inferred that the statement is true.

The statement is true because the Bedouin were indeed the people of the desert in Arabia. The Bedouin were nomadic Arab tribes who lived in the desert regions of the Arabian Peninsula. They were known for their expertise in navigating the harsh desert environment and their traditional way of life centered around camel herding, trading, and tribal customs. Their knowledge of the desert and survival skills made them well adapted to the arid conditions of Arabia.

The statement is false because Muhammad did not live with his parents until he became a merchant with a caravan. In fact, Muhammad lost both of his parents at a young age and was raised by his grandfather and later by his uncle. He started working as a merchant with a caravan at the age of 25, which was before he got married.

The given answer is true because the statement mentions that the leaders of different tribes were suspicious of each other and fought over returning the sacred stone to the Kaaba. This implies that there was conflict and mistrust among the leaders, leading to the fighting over the sacred stone.

The explanation for the answer being False is that the statement is incorrect. The Qur'an did not allow everyone to continue worshiping many gods. In fact, one of the central teachings of the Qur'an is the belief in monotheism, the worship of only one God. The Qur'an called for the abandonment of polytheistic beliefs and the worship of idols, emphasizing the concept of Tawhid (the oneness of God). Therefore, the statement that the Qur'an appealed to all people because it allowed worship of many gods is false.

Muhammad was indeed born in Mecca, as stated in the question. Additionally, it is mentioned that he lived with the Bedouin in the desert when he was young. Therefore, the statement "Muhammad was born in Mecca but lived when he was young with the Bedouin in the desert" is true.

The statement suggests that the area around the Kaaba was both a place of conflict and commerce, making it dangerous. However, the correct answer is false, indicating that the statement is incorrect. Therefore, the area around the Kaaba was not a dangerous place, contradicting the initial claim.

The statement is false because Muhammad did not propose to the caravan owner, Khadija. In fact, it was Khadija who proposed to Muhammad and they eventually got married.
