B. 6 hijri
C. 8 hijri
D. 9 hijri

Alcoholic drinks were banned in the fourth year of the Hijra (Muslims migration from Mecca to Medina) when Bani Nadeer Jews were driven into exile from their lands.
When the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) honored Medina with his migration, drinking and gambling were widespread among Muslims. When the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) arrived, Muslims asked him for his views about drinking and gambling. Umar offered a supplication to Allah Almighty about a decisive decree to be stated by Him.
After a while, the decree that they had been waiting for came: They ask you about intoxicating drinks and games of chance. Say: “In both there is great evil, though some use for people, but their evil is greater than their usefulness.” They also ask you what they should spend (in Gods cause and for the needy). Say: “What is left over (after you have spent on your dependents needs). Thus does God make clear to you His Revelations, that you may reflect” (1)
Upon that, some Muslims quit drinking due to its harm, but some continued to drink as before.
Those who were drunk caused some unpleasant things to happen. During the evening worship, someone from the Muslims was confused as he was reciting the Quran in a way that totally sounded in the reverse meaning.
Umar again supplicated; O Lord! Send us a clear and final verse about drinking.
Before long, the following verse was sent down: O you who believe! Do not come forward to (stand in) the Prayer while you are in (any sort of) state of drunkenness until you know what you are saying, nor while you are in the state of ritual impurity (requiring the total ablution) – save when you are on a journey (and then unable to bathe) – until you have bathed (done the total ablution)… (2)
And this verse was the second phase of the ban on drinking.
Until then, there was a large number of Muslims who drank. When the verse came, they promised the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) not to approach worship when they were drunk. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) remained silent in the face of the promise.
When the prayer times came, some Companions always reminded the others not to come near to worship if they were drunk. Nevertheless, a Muslim came to worship when he was drunk.
Umar again supplicated: O Lord! Give us a clear and final verse about drinking. Then another verse was sent down:
“O you who believe! Intoxicants, games of chance, sacrifices to (anything serving the function of) idols (and at places consecrated for offerings to other than God), and (the pagan practice of) divination by arrows (and similar practices) are a loathsome evil of Satans doing; so turn wholly away from it so that you may prosper (in both worlds)
Satan only seeks to provoke enmity and hatred among you by means of intoxicants and games of chance, and to bar you from the remembrance of God and from Prayer. So, then, will you abstain?” (3)
On hearing this final verse, Muslims promised not to approach drinking and gambling any more. And that was the third phase of the ban on alcoholic drinks. Thus, alcoholic drinks were proclaimed religiously forbidden for all Muslims.
After those verses were sent down, a town crier called out to the people of Medina with the order of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) about this final ban.
On hearing this order, all the Muslims poured out their drinks.
Below are some hadiths about the issue:
Verily Allah Almighty curses alcoholic drinks, those who make them, the place where they are made, who drink them, and who make others drink them, who carry them, who get them carried, who sell and buy them, and who make a living with them. (4)
Every intoxicating substance is haram (religiously prohibited).
Whoever keeps drinking in the world and dies before s/he could repent, s/he will not be able to drink sherbet (sweet nonalcoholic drinks) in the hereafter. (5)
Stay away from drinking alcohol! For it is a key to every evil thing. (6)
Alcohol is the mother of all evil things. (7)
Very little of those intoxicants is also haram (religiously unlawful). (8)

Which surahs are called Mauzatain?

Islamic Studies Mcqs /
Which surahs are called Mauzatain?A. Last two surahs
B. First two surahs
C. Last four surahs
D. None of these

Al-Mu’awwidhatan sometimes translated as “Verses of Refuge”, is an Arabic term referring to the last two suras (chapters) of the Qur’an, viz. al-Falaq (ch. 113), and An-Nās (ch. 114), which are two consecutive short prayers both beginning with the verse “Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of…”. Although these two suras are separate entities in the Qur’an and also are written in the Mushaf under separate names, they are so deeply related with their contents closely resembling each other’s that they have been designated by the common name ‘al-Mu’awwidhatayn’ (the two suras in which refuge with Allah has been sought).

Hazrat Umar R.A embraced Islam, influenced by which Surah Of Holy Quran?A. Surah Taha
B. Surah Yaseen
C. Surah Fateh
D. Surah Almaedah

Hazrat Umar R.A Acceptance of Islam:
Hazrat Umar (R.A) left his house, sword in hand, with the intent to kill the Holy Prophet (PBUH). As he made his way, he saw Naeem Bin Abdullah who asked Hazrat Umar (R.A) where he was heading off to and what his intentions were. Hazrat Umar (R.A) replied that he was going out to kill the Holy Prophet (PBUH). Naeem Bin Abdullah told Hazrat Umar (R.A) to first enquire about his own household members, as his sister, Fatimah (R.A), and her husband had accepted Islam. Enraged at hearing this, he stormed off in the direction of his sister’s house.
He found them reciting the Holy Quran. Witnessing this Hazrat Umar (R.A), unable to contain himself, began quarrelling with his brother-in-law. As things escalated quickly, his sister tried to stop them and by doing so Hazrat Umar’s (R.A) hand struck her face causing her to bleed. When Hazrat Umar (R.A) saw what he had done, he stopped immediately and told them to leave Islam, upon which they replied in the negative and said to him, “You may kill us but we will never leave.”
Hearing this Hazrat Umar (R.A) calmed down and asked his sister to recite a few verses from the Quran. The verses recited before Hazrat Umar (R.A) were from Surah Taha or Surah Al-Hadid.
Hearing these verses Hazrat Umar (R.A) began to weep and said that surely those were the words of Allah, the One God. After this, Hazrat Umar (R.A) rushed directly to the Holy Prophet (PBUH) with the same sword he had intended to kill him with. However, instead, he accepted Islam.
In Ahadith, we find that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) prayed to Allah saying,
“O ALLAH, STRENGTHEN ISLAM WITH ONE OF TWO MEN WHOM YOU LOVE MORE: AMR IBN HISHAM [ABU JAHL] OR UMAR IBN AL-KHATTAB.” (SUNAN AL-TIRMIDHI)
Thus, it was due to the prayer of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) that God’s decree came into effect.
Hazrat Umar (R.A) embracing Islam gave confidence and granted power to the Muslims in Mecca.
