Prophethood is believed to be a divine appointment or a gift from God, and it is not something that can be earned or acquired through human actions or endeavors.

Direct commands in the Quran for the believers to have tawakkul :
• Q 3:160: “... in Allah let believers put their trust.”
• Q 5:23: “...put your trust (in Allah) in you are indeed believers...”

Al-Quran is sent down to confirm the existing teachings.

This concept emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong connection with Allah and not neglecting one's faith.

This statement is true because Muslims believe that the Quran is the literal word of God revealed to Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel. They consider it to be the ultimate source of guidance and wisdom, containing the best of Allah's speech.

- It is part of Ar-Ruboobiyyah because Allah is the Creator of everything.

The major signs of the Day of Judgment are significant events that are believed to occur before the end of the world. These signs are mentioned in Islamic eschatology. Ad-Dukhan (The Smoke), the appearance of the Beast (ad-Dabba), and the Rising of the sun from the west are all considered major signs. However, the statement "The slave woman will give birth to her master" is not a major sign of the Day of Judgment.

They are Allah's brothers/sons: Pagan Arab view on the Jinns
They are a fragment of Prophet’s imagination: Philosophers' view on the Angels

A jinn can possess a human being for various reasons. Magic can be one reason as jinns are believed to be able to manipulate and control humans through magical means. Animosity and hatred towards a person can also lead a jinn to possess them, as they may seek to harm or torment the individual. Similarly, a jinn may possess a person out of revenge, wanting to cause them suffering for a perceived wrong. Lastly, adoration or lust can motivate a jinn to possess a human, as they may desire a physical or emotional connection with the person. Therefore, all of the given options are valid reasons for a jinn to possess a human being.

The al-Jabriyyah believed that human beings have no choice or free will. They held the view that everything is predetermined and controlled by Allah, and humans have no control over their actions or decisions. This ideology denies the concept of free will and emphasizes the absolute power and control of Allah over everything.

Jinns are accountable beings like humans.

Tawrah was the only kitaab sent in the form of written tablet.

The word "malach" used for angels in Hebrew literally means "messenger". This suggests that angels serve as messengers between God and humans, delivering important messages or carrying out tasks on behalf of God.

Fulfillment of prophecy: It prophesies Abu Lahab to die as a kuffar.

Allah grants miracles to the awliya' because they follow the prophets. Thus, the miracles become the miracles of the prophets as well.

Hidayah At-Tawfeeq is only for the believers and those whom Allah favors.

The correct answer is I, II and III only. Al-Qadar refers to Allah's divine decree and predestination. Allah's Knowledge (al-'Ilm) is a part of al-Qadar because it encompasses His knowledge of everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen. Allah's Writing (al-Kitabah) is also a part of al-Qadar as it refers to His writing down of everything that will occur. Allah's Will (al-Mashee'ah) is another part of al-Qadar, as it refers to His power and control over all things. Therefore, the correct answer includes I, II, and III as they are all components of al-Qadar.

Orthodox Jews do not believe in the existence of jinn. Christians also do not believe in the existence of jinn. Therefore, the correct answer is II and III only.

The Dajjal will not be able to enter any of the mentioned places, which are Makkah, Madinah, Masjid al-Aqsa, and Masjid at-Tur (Sinai).

Pagan Arabs completely deny that Resurrection will occur. This is because in pre-Islamic Arabia, pagan Arabs followed a polytheistic belief system and did not believe in the concept of resurrection or an afterlife. They believed that death was the end of existence and that there was no resurrection or judgment after death.

Consensus on the infallibility of the prophets: The prophets never commit kufr, immoral/indecent acts or lie. If they commit a minor sin, they repent from it.

Allah lets Shaytan live until the Day of Judgment for several reasons. Firstly, it is because Allah is Most Just and Most Merciful, showing His fairness and compassion towards all beings. Secondly, it is to reward Shaytan for the good deeds he did before he became a disbeliever. By allowing him to come on the Day of Judgment without being able to claim anything from his past good deeds, justice is served. Lastly, it is to ensure that all humans are tested equally by Shaytan, maintaining fairness among mankind. Therefore, all of the above explanations are valid.

Al-Kulliyyaat is the book that first mentioned the Angels as a creature of light without physical faculties (which is a misconception). It was written by a Muslim philosopher.

All of the mentioned groups, Al-Mu'tazilah, Ar-Rafidah, and Al-Khawaarij, hold the opinion that seeing Allah s.w.t. is not possible for women.

Al-Mushrikiyyah: Al-Qadar = Ash-Shar
Al-Majoosiyyah: Al-Qadar ≠ Ash-Shar’, but If they contradict, deny Al-Qadar
Ahl As-Sunnah: Al-Qadar ≠ Ash-Shar’, but not everything Allah wills, He loves

Ibn Qayyim is the one who gave the opinion that everything that happens in this world happens through the angels by the command of Allah s.w.t., according to His qadar.

Al-Mushrikiyyah is the group that holds the belief that everything that you do, whether good or bad, is loved by Allah because Allah allows it to happen. This group believes in the concept of Al-Qadar, which is the divine decree and predestination of Allah. They believe that everything that occurs in the world is a result of Allah's will and permission. This belief is in contrast to the beliefs of the other groups listed, Al-Ibleesiyyah, Al-Majoosiyyah, and Ahl As-Sunnah, who may have different understandings of Al-Qadar.

The correct answer is "I, II and III only". This means that Ibn Hazm, Al-Qurtubi, and Al-Ash'ari are the ones who have the opinion that there are women among the prophets. The answer does not include Al-Hasan Al-Basri, indicating that he does not hold this opinion.

Ibn Taymiyyah believed that certain aspects of belief in Al-Qadar, or predestination, are connected to worshipping Allah. This suggests that he believed that understanding and accepting the concept of Al-Qadar is an important part of one's relationship with Allah and their worship of Him.

Ibn Qayyim made the opinion that there are five kind changes that take place in the current tawrah and injeel.

Al-Hassan Al-Basri specifically mentioned that: "Allah did not send any Messenger from the Bedouins, females, or Jinn."

This is for Tawheed Ar-Ruboobiyyah.
