My Questions and Quran Answers Q. 18:
What were the first words God revealed to Prophet Mohammad(PBUH)? The first words of God with Prophet Mخhammad (PBUH): اه ىاسًلاا نلع نلقلاب نلع یذلا . مسکلاا کبر و ازقا . قلع یه ىاسًلاا قلخ . قلخ یذلا کبر نساب ازقا - لن یعلن .)سىره علق 5 1 ) Read in the Name of your Lord Who created - He created man from a clot - Read and your Lord is Most Honorable - Who taught (to write) with the pen - Taught man what he knew not - (Al-Alagh 1-5) (Surah 96) After mentioning in these verses the state of creator-hood, divinity, and creating the best creation in the world, human, God has pointed to man teaching with pen and the crucial role of knowledge in his life. Could its reason be anything but the effort of Islam for learning and thinking? Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) stated: اطلة العلن هی الىهد الی اللهد Seek knowledge from cradle to grave. Also, he mentioned: العلن حیاة الاسلام و عىاد الایىای . Knowledge is the life of Islam and the pillars of faith. (Nahj-ul-Fesaaha P: 418 tradition no. 4107) The Holy Quran in most of the verses invites man to thinking about sky, stars, strange events happening among them, the strong order directing and managing them, and mediating on earth, seas, and mountain creation, and etc. as well as reflecting on the surprising creation of plants plus the life order exists among them, and creation of man himself besides the mysteries behind his body structure. The holy book, also, calls man to learning physical science, mathematics, philosophy, literary arts, and finally all the sciences available to human thought only if their learning is in favor of human being and prosperity and happiness of their society.
Yes, the Holy Quran invites man to these sciences in case they act as a guide toward truth and include the true worldview with the cornerstone of theology within themselves. Otherwise the science which occupies man by himself and prevents him from learning about truth is equal to ignorance in Quran lexicon. Prophet Mohammad stated that there are three things no one (being Muslim or non-Muslim) should leave:
1. Doing good to parents
2. Fulfilling the promise
3. Faithful to the trust (Nahj-ul-Fasaaha, page 115) He also mentioned: The more Muslim is the one among you whose morality is the best and understanding of the religion is deeper.

My Questions and Quran Answers Q.16:
Who should we learn the real Islam from? Differentiating truth from vain, especially in the world today, is faced with different challenges. For instance, to know Islam, besides spreading rumour and lies by the enemies of Islam there is a big challenge named “Muslemin” (Muslims). A bigger challenge comes to exist, too, when people want to know Islam through mixed behaviour of Muslims. But, Quran learns us the way of knowing Islam: وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِکَ إِلاَّ رِجَالًا نُّوحِی إِلَیْهِمْ فَاسْأَلُواْ أَهْلَ الذِّکْرِ إِن کُنتُمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ ( نحل-43) بِالْبَیِّنَاتِ وَالزُّبُرِ وَأَنزَلْنَا إِلَیْکَ الذِّکْرَ لِتُبَیِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَیْهِمْ وَلَعَلَّهُمْ یَتَفَکَّرُونَ ( نحل-44) We never sent but men before you to whom we revealed, ask the people of the remembrance, if you do not know. (- Al Nahl) (Surah 16-verse 43) (We sent them) with clear signs and the psalms. And we sent down to you the remembrance so that you can make clear to people what has been sent down to them, in order that they reflect. 4- Al Nahl) (Surah 16-verse 44) Yes, Quran introduces prophet as a best teacher and interpreter of Quran and Islam. He (the Prophet) as well as his traditions (Ahadith), the way of his living, and his true successors are the authentic and genuine references for knowing Islam rather than unaware Muslims who commit crime with the name of Islam.

My Questions and Quran Answers Q17:
Dose Islam agree the commandments of Judaism and Christianity? Is there any similarity between religions commandments? :(please publish it for non-Moslems The Quran has referred to the competence of the Prophets in its chapters (surahs) to the extent that God commands Prophet of Islam to follow Quran way. He also brings Moses’ commandments in Quran and named them straight path. Say, "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited to you. [He commands] that you not associate anything with Him, and to parents, good treatment, and do not kill your children out of poverty; We will provide for you and them. And do not approach immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed. And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to be killed] except by [legal] right. This has He instructed you that you may use reason." (151- Al-An’am) (Surah 6) And do not approach the orphan's property except in a way that is best until he reaches maturity. And give full measure and weight in justice. We do not charge any soul except [with that within] its capacity. And when you testify, be just, even if [it concerns] a near relative. And the covenant of Allah fulfill. This has He instructed you that you may remember. (152- Al-An’am) (Surah 6) And, [moreover], this is My path, which is straight, so follow it; and do not follow [other] ways, for you will be separated from His way. This has He instructed you that you may become righteous. (153- Al-An’am) (Surah 6) Yes, these are the life-giving commandments of Prophet Moses (AS) which are emphasized in Quran. Now You Judge: What is Islam? And who is Muslim? Whoever follows these commandments is called Muslim and whoever in whatever dress and whatever job does not follow these commandments is not Muslim. Prophet Muhammad stated that there are three things no one (being Muslim or non-Muslim) should leave:
1. Doing good to parents
2. Fulfilling the promise
3. Faithful to the trust (Nahj-ul-Fasaaha, page 115) He also mentioned: The more Muslim is the one among you whose morality is the best and understanding of the religion is deeper. www.imammouod.com arbainnajafkarbala4.blogfa.com

Following Imam Khamenei message to the youth in Europe and North America about knowing Islam via Quran, please circulate this method and the content in web. The questions of non Moslem youth and the answers of Quran(part one)questions1-10 (My Question and God Answer through Quran) (A new method toward knowing more about Quran preferred by young generation. A youth or every interrogator asks and God answers via Quran)
1. What is the reality of Islam? After sending down the Torah, the Gospel, and other holy books God in fact has split the stone of all divine religions and get the Islam out of it. Actually, Islam is the core of all religions. God, indeed, brings forth the living from the dead and the dead from the living. And through sending down the Quran he, in fact, has refined the non-applicable as well as non-alive part of other holy books. He, then, has kept and completed the remaining alive and applicable parts and sent down a new religion named Islam. إِنَّ اللَّهَ فالِقُ الْحَبِّ وَ النَّوى یُخْرِجُ الْحَیَّ مِنَ الْمَیِّتِ وَ مُخْرِجُ الْمَیِّتِ مِنَ الْحَیِّ ذلِکُمُ اللَّهُ فَأَنَّى تُؤْفَکُونَ (انعام-95) “It is Allah who caused the seed-grain and the date-stone to split and sprout. He caused the living to issue from the dead, and He is the One to cause the dead to issue from the living. That is Allah: then how are you deluded away from the truth?” 95-Anaam (Surah 6) -------------------------
2. Why do many people have not received the truth of Islam? Those who God has led them astray due to their hypocrisy, never find the way. فَما لَکُمْ فِی الْمُنافِقینَ فِئَتَیْنِ وَ اللَّهُ أَرْکَسَهُمْ بِما کَسَبُوا أَ تُریدُونَ أَنْ تَهْدُوا مَنْ أَضَلَّ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ یُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُ سَبیلاً (النساء-88) “Why should you be two groups concerning the hypocrites, while Allah has made them relapse because of their deeds? Do you desire to guide someone Allah has led astray? Whomever Allah leads astray, you will never find any way for him.” 88-Nisa (Surah 4) -----------------------
3. What should we do to get out of wrongdoing? We have to pray and ask God to direct us into the right way like the prophets and pious servants of God who did the same and were responded by God. وَ نُوحاً إِذْ نادى مِنْ قَبْلُ فَاسْتَجَبْنا لَهُ فَنَجَّیْناهُ وَ أَهْلَهُ مِنَ الْکَرْبِ الْعَظی (الانبیاء- 76) “(Remember) Noah, when he cried (to Us) aforetime: We listened to his (prayer) and delivered him and his family from great distress.” 76- Anbiaa (Surah 21) وَ أَیُّوبَ إِذْ نادى رَبَّهُ أَنِّی مَسَّنِیَ الضُّرُّ وَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمینَ ( الانبیاء- 83) “And (remember) Job, when He cried to his Lord," Truly distress has seized me, but You are the Most Merciful of those that are merciful." 83- Anbiaa (Surah 21) فَاسْتَجَبْنا لَهُ فَکَشَفْنا ما بِهِ مِنْ ضُرٍّ وَ آتَیْناهُ أَهْلَهُ وَ مِثْلَهُمْ مَعَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِنْ عِنْدِنا وَ ذِکْرى لِلْعابِدینَ (الانبیاء- 84) “So We listened to him: We removed the distress that was on him, and We restored his people to him, and doubled their number, - - as a Grace from Ourselves, and a thing for commemoration, for all who serve Us.” 84- Anbiaa (Surah 21) وَ ذَا النُّونِ إِذْ ذَهَبَ مُغاضِباً فَظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ نَقْدِرَ عَلَیْهِ فَنادى فِی الظُّلُماتِ أَنْ لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ سُبْحانَکَ إِنِّی کُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمینَ (الانبیاء-87) “And remember Zunnun, when he departed in wrath: He imagined that We had no power over him! But he cried through the depths of darkness," There is no god but You: glory to You: I was indeed wrong!" 87- Anbiaa (Surah 21) فَاسْتَجَبْنا لَهُ وَ نَجَّیْناهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَ کَذلِکَ نُنْجِی الْمُؤْمِنینَ (الانبیاء-88) “So We listened to him: and delivered him from distress: and thus do We deliver those who have faith. “ 88- Anbiaa (Surah 21) وَ زَکَرِیَّا إِذْ نادى رَبَّهُ رَبِّ لا تَذَرْنی فَرْداً وَ أَنْتَ خَیْرُ الْوارِثینَ (الانبیاء- 89) “And (remember) Zakariya, when he cried to his Lord:" O my Lord! Leave me not without offspring, though You are the best of inheritors." 89- Anbiaa (Surah 21) فَاسْتَجَبْنا لَهُ وَ وَهَبْنا لَهُ یَحْیى وَ أَصْلَحْنا لَهُ زَوْجَهُ إِنَّهُمْ کانُوا یُسارِعُونَ فِی الْخَیْراتِ وَ یَدْعُونَنا رَغَباً وَ رَهَباً وَ کانُوا لَنا خاشِعینَ (الانبیاء-90) “So We listened to him: and We granted him John: We cured his wife's (barrenness) for him. These (three) were ever quick in doing in good works; they used to call on Us with yearning and awe, and humble themselves before Us. “ 90- Anbiaa (Surah 21) ----------------------
4. What is the similarity between Prophet Moses (AS) and Prophet Jesus (AS) with Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)? They all have the God in common and all of them are the Lord of the World's messengers. وَ قالَ مُوسى یا فِرْعَوْنُ إِنِّی رَسُولٌ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعالَمینَ (الاعراف- 104) Moses said:" O Pharaoh! I am a messenger from the Lord of the Worlds". 104- A'raaf (Surah 7) قالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعالَمینَ (الاعراف- 121) Finally, the sorcerers told:" We believe in the Lord of the Worlds- 121- A'raaf (Surah 7) رَبِّ مُوسى وَ هارُونَ (الاعراف- 122) " The Lord of Moses and Aaron." 122- A'raaf (Surah 7) ----------------------
5. Who at last confirm the promise of God messengers? God gives life to those who do good deed. He, also, gives them the light to get guided and walk proudly among people. أَ وَ مَنْ کانَ مَیْتاً فَأَحْیَیْناهُ وَ جَعَلْنا لَهُ نُوراً یَمْشی بِهِ فِی النَّاسِ کَمَنْ مَثَلُهُ فِی الظُّلُماتِ لَیْسَ بِخارِجٍ مِنْها کَذلِکَ زُیِّنَ لِلْکافِرینَ ما کانُوا یَعْمَلُونَ (الانعام- 122) “Can he who was dead, to whom We gave life, and a Light whereby he can walk amongst men, be like him who is in the depths of darkness, from which he can never come out? Thus to those without faith their own deeds seem pleasing.” 122- Anaam (Surah 6) --------------------------
6. Who does get guided, in fact, and find the right path? Only the sincere people get guided. قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِکَ لَأُغْوِیَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِینَ (ص- 82) (Iblis) said:" Then, by The Power, I will lead them all astray.” 82- Saad (Surah 38) إِلَّا عِبَادَکَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِینَ (ص- 83) "Except The Servants amongst them, sincere and purified (by Your Grace)." 83-Saad (Surah 38) ---------------------
7. What testimonies existed to stabilize the legitimacy and rightfulness of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)? Asking for the guidance from Prophet and being responded by him is enough to stabilize the rightfulness of Islam and Prophet (PBUH). It is in this case that you for sure get to water (the truth) rather than the water foam (the vain). لَهُ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّ وَ الَّذینَ یَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِهِ لا یَسْتَجیبُونَ لَهُمْ بِشَیْءٍ إِلاَّ کَباسِطِ کَفَّیْهِ إِلَى الْماءِ لِیَبْلُغَ فاهُ وَ ما هُوَ بِبالِغِهِ وَ ما دُعاءُ الْکافِرینَ إِلاَّ فی ضَلالٍ ( رعد- 14) “To Him is due the true prayer: any others that they call upon besides Him hear them no more than if they were to stretch forth their hands for water to reach their mouths but it reaches them not: for the prayer of those without Faith is nothing but vain prayer. “ 14- Ra'd (Surah 13) --------------------
8. What are the characteristics of God's messengers specially Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)? مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنینَ رِجالٌ صَدَقُوا ما عاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَیْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضى نَحْبَهُ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ یَنْتَظِرُ وَ ما بَدَّلُوا تَبْدیلاً (احزاب-23) “Among the Believers are men who have been true to their covenant with Allah: of them some have died, and some (still) wait: but they have never changed (their determination) in the least. “ 23- Ahzaab (Surah 33) ----------------------
9. In a nutshell, what does God say the world about Prophet Muhammad? وَ مِنْهُمُ الَّذینَ یُؤْذُونَ النَّبِیَّ وَ یَقُولُونَ هُوَ أُذُنٌ قُلْ أُذُنُ خَیْرٍ لَکُمْ یُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَ یُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنینَ وَ رَحْمَةٌ لِلَّذینَ آمَنُوا مِنْکُمْ وَ الَّذینَ یُؤْذُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلیمٌ (توبه- 61) “Among them are men who molest the Prophet and say," He is (all) ear." Say," He listens to what is best for you: he believes in Allah, has faith in the Believers, and is a Mercy to those of you who believe." But those who molest the Messenger will have a grievous chastisement. “ 61- Tawba (Surah 9) ----------------------
10. What will be the end of oppressive states and hired media who does not let the people to perceive the reality and truth of Islam and mission of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)? فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ کَذَبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ کَذَّبَ بِالصِّدْقِ إِذْ جاءَهُ أَ لَیْسَ فی جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوىً لِلْکافِرینَ (زمر-32( “Who, then, dose more wrong than one who utters a lie concerning Allah, and rejects the Truth when it comes to him! Is there not in Hell an abode for the unbelievers?” 32- Zumar (Surah 39) وَ الَّذی جاءَ بِالصِّدْقِ وَ صَدَّقَ بِهِ أُولئِکَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُونَ (زمر- 33) “And he who brings the Truth and he who confirms (and supports) it - - such are the men who do right.” 33-Zumar (Surah 39) ------------------------------------------
