History

Q: Is it true that there was a covenant made with the people of Isa alaihis salaam that if they obeyed the commands of Allah, He will bless them with great bounties and if they didn’t, they will get a severe torment?

Q: I read somewhere that the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam at some occasions used harsh words to people. It was written that he would impugn then. Is the definition of impugn which is meant in the ahadith ‘to cause people to doubt someone's character, qualities, or reputation by criticizing them’. Also when we say harsh words, what was the manner of the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam in that case? Did he say the words in an angry tone?

Q: Are people from Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu anhu)'s family present in today's times?

Q: Did any of the Prophets get extremely harsh treatment by kuffar like beaten by a mob and humiliated etc. or is it against the sunnah of Allah?

Q: I was reading Stories of the Prophet by ibn Kathir, I think it was Adam AS, I think I read an ayah in which I think it was mentioned that when Adam AS followed shaytan and ate the fruit of the forbidden tree, he was not on Islamic monotheism (I think it was in brackets but I’m not sure). But when I read it again I couldn’t find it, I thought maybe I misread something. Does this ayah appear in the Quran? If yes what does it mean by not on true monotheism?

Q: Were any of the Prophets treated very harshly (beaten, etc.) by their parents and had to leave their homes? 

Q: Is it correct that Bani Israel were the most beloved/ best nation to Allah?

Q: What is the laqab (title) of Hazrat Ameer Hamza? Is he known as the leader of Allah?

Q: Is it true that Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu anhu)'s iman will be heavier in scale than all the other ummah's iman?

Q: Someone I know asked me a question regarding Islam, and I didn't have a substantial answer to give due to lack of knowledge. And frankly, I myself am in a delimma regarding it.

In surah al Baqarah 2:30 Allah Ta'ala told the angels that He is going to create a new being who will act as his khalifa on earth. This was prior to creation of Adam (alaihis salaam). As I understand, Adam (alaihis salaam) was predestined to be sent to earth even before he was created. However after his creation, he had to eat from the tree to be expelled from earth.

From my feeble understanding, Adam (alaihis salaam) didn't have any choice because Allah Ta'ala created Adam (alaihis salaam) with the specific purpose of functioning as His khalifa on earth.

So was Allah Ta'ala going to send Adam (alaihis salaam) to the earth regardless of his disobedience? Doesn't this also mean that Adam (alaihis salaam) predestined to disobey Allah Ta'ala?
