Face-Off!

**- Qatada -** · 05-22-2006

All praise is due to Allah, and May His peace and blessing be upon our Prophet, Mohammed, sal Allaahu alaihi waSalam. .

This new trivia game is called 'Face-Off'. In order to promote a friendly face-off and healthy trivia challenge, which should encourage us to learn and at the same time have a good time, we're going to see who ends up winning this Face-Off.

Participants:

Teams will consist of usergrous. In other words, there will be:

The Admin Team
SuperMods Team.
Mods Team.
Members Team (Members team can brainstorm in this thread)

Contrary to your opinions at this point, the amount of members on the team won't be of benefit, but rather, how well you work together. That is why the Admin team are confident that they will come out victorious in this challenge, Inshaa Allah.

Game Premises

This trivia will revolve around 7 trivia categories.

1) Knowledge of the Sahabah (radhiAllaahu anhum)

2) World History (General knowledge)

3) Name the famous Qur'an Recitor

4) The Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad, salah allahu 'alayhi wa salam.

5) The Lives of the Previous Prophets.

6) Famous figures (General Knowledge)

7) Qur'an Questions.

Teams can only ask questions from the above categories. Please be precise with your questions so that it is clear and understandable to everyone.

The trivia will start with the Admin Team alongside the challenger they choose. The 'Face-Off' challenge begins when the question is posted on their thread. The challenger will have 24 hours (max) to answer the question. If the question happens to be left unanswered, the Admin Team will immediately be awarded 1 point to their points basket. It means that their question is either too hard, or the other team lacks team effort.

If the challenger answers the question, they will get the chance to choose the next face-off. They cannot face-off with their previous challenger, but they must choose another team.

The objective of the game is to earn/answer 3 points from each category in the quickest possible time!

If a team member answers it correctly, it is upon any member from that group to pick up the task and ask a question from the 5 categories listed above. Please remember to name the challenger group! If for some reason the group doesn't answer the question, the other usergroups have the option to pick-up the question and answer it. The first group to answer correctly (6-12 hr time span) will get the point.

Side rules:

- First three answers from the challenger group will qualify. For example, if a group posts 20 answers, only the first three will be taken into consideration as the correct answer.

- A member cannot answer twice.

- A member cannot edit, nor change his/her answer. If the edit bar shows an editing signal, the answer will be ignored. However, if the member edits his/her answer due to a spelling error after his/her answer has been accepted as correct, that editing will be allowed. The challenger has to accept that it was only a spelling error, and that the entire answer wasn't changed. No points will be lost in this case.

The Admin team will commence the challenge with their question to the challengers.

We Challenge the Mods Team the Topic will be on the Seerah of the Prophet

Question:

How many white hairs did the Prophet

have in his beared and hair in toto? (Please provide evidence for your statement)

You've got 24 hours from the 00.21 GTM on the 11 of June

**- Qatada -** · 06-11-2006

I think its in tirmidhi..

Anas bin Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him - RadhiAllaahu anhu). reports: "I did not count more than fourteen white hair on the head and beard of RasoolAllaah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam)".

However, they had a difference of opinion because others counted abit more, and others abit less. Because it depended on what age they saw the hair of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him.)

Ibne Abbas R.A. reports: "Abu Bakr R.A. once said, 'O Messenger of Allah, you have become old'. (What is the reason? Due to this mild and soft temperament he ought to be young, and also according to his age he could be still called young).

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) replied: "The recitation of Surahs Hud, Waaqiah, Mursalat, Amma and Kuwwirah has made me old'".

Commentary

Apart form these surahs the Surahs of Al-Haaqqah, Al-Qaariah, Al- Ghaashiah etc. have also been mentioned. In short all those surahs wherein frightening matters are mentioned, e.g. Qiyaamah, (Day of judgement) Hell, the Trumpet, the punishment of evil
people etc.

In hadith it is stated that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) said: "If you knew what I know, you would laugh less and cry more. You would even stop going to your wives (or as he had said)". It is written in the Sharhus Sunnah that a person saw Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) in his dream. He asked: "O Rasulallah, (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam)! This hadith has reached me, that you said: 'Surah Hud has made me old'".

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) replied: "There is one verse in it 'Wastaqim kama umirta' (Stay steadfast on the religion as I have commanded you). And it is well-known that to stay steadfast on the commandments of Allah is very difficult". That is why the Sufiya have written that to remain steadfast is better than a thousand miracles.

Allaah Almighty knows best.

**Khaldun** · 06-11-2006

MashAllah correct. May Allah reward you.

**Ibn Abi Ahmed** · 06-12-2006

This question is to the members team.

Category is Knowledge of the Sahabah (radhiAllaahu anhum)

Define the word "Sahabi" and tell who is the Sahabi of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) that is still alive today and has yet to die?

You have 24 hours from now. You have until 10:36 EST on June 13, 2006

**piXie** · 06-12-2006

th members answer:

defination of a sahabi:

1.one who has seen th prophet(pbuh),
2.believed in him(ie. a muslim),
3.and died as a muslim.

Isa(AS) met th prophet during th journey of miraj and he is alive.... still yet to die.

therefore th answer we could think of is jesus (pbuh)

and Allah knows best

**Ibn Abi Ahmed** · 06-12-2006

Mashallah! Thats the correct answer. I cound'nt have phrased it better myself. Inshallah your turn to ask a question.

**Umm Yoosuf** · 06-14-2006

Come on members, it's your turn now.

**Idris** · 06-14-2006

5) The Lives of the Previous Prophets.

Q is for the Mods Team.

One day Allah tested prophet Dawud (David) (pbuh) with two men who had a problem.

What was the test and why did he get it wrong?

**- Qatada -** · 06-15-2006

The two men were arguing about wealth. But it was in the form of sheep;

One man said that the other man persuaded him to give his 1 sheep, even though the other one had 99 sheep. So he wanted it back in return, because he felt that he had been treated unjustly.

Prophet Dawud (alayhi Salaam) gave the response, then suddenly - them two men vanished [they were probably angels in the form of men and it was a test from Allaah azawajal] - Prophet Dawud (alayhi Salaam) realised that it was a test from Allaah, and his mistake was that he never had listened to the other side of the story.

The reason the test occured [and Allaah knows best] was because Prophet Dawud (on him be peace) was a king, hence he had to deal with people justly, and even if the answer seemed obvious, it is important to listen to both sides of the argument.

.. and Allaah Almighty knows best.

I dunno about that, the answers right and everything, but it didn't say if the question was for the mods, i urge bro idris to edit his post and make question aimed at someone else, that way mods will lose points for answering too soon

Jokes aside, its the right answer. Who's turn is it now?

Time for me to embarras myself again.

I searched for the word صلاة which comes up 63 times. Now obviously that's not all the verses mentioning prayer, I could search for the root word sallaa. But that would bring up words which are not related to prayer.

Good question, tough.
