One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

SIR

I wish you to keepon continues sending about the ISLAM.

I have some questions to you.

Who live on earth before human beginning?

What was the khalifah Abu Bakr'stwelve points of advice?

Who was the commander of muslim army at the time of Umar?

Who killed khalifah Umar?

What is the name of the Abu Bakr's son who fought on the side of unbelievers at the time of BADR?

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Five questions

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Your question: Who live on earth before human beginning?

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 15 Surah Hijr verses 26-27:We created man from dried clay of rotten earth; and before him We created the jinn from the flame of heat.

In light of the above aayah, it is evident that the Jinns were created before humans; and it is probable that it was the Jinns who lived on earth, before the human beings.

Your question: What was the khalifah Abu Bakr's twelve points of advice?

Khalifa Abu Bakr gave many advices as a leader… to the believers, to his children, to his family, to his close friends and companions, to his army generals, etc. Request you to please specify.

Your question: Who was the commander of muslim army at the time of Umar?

In the beginning of the term of Khalifa Umar, the commander of the muslim army was Khalid ibn Al Waleed. But in the latter years, Khalifa Umar replaced Khalid with Abu Ubaidah ibn Jarrah as the commander of the muslim army.

Your question: Who killed khalifah Umar?

The name of the person who killed Khalifa Umar was a Persian slave by the name of Firoze Abu Lolou.

Your question: What is the name of the Abu Bakr's son who fought on the side of unbelievers at the time of BADR?

His name was Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Abu Bakr.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
