1 THE ROMANS LEARN ABOUT ISLAM WORKBOOK: pg39 Q1. How did the meeting between Heraclius and Abu Sufyan come out? Ans1) After Heraclius read Rosoolullah s letter, he ordered anyone known to him should come forward. At that time, Abu Sufyan was in Syria with some people of Quraysh as he had gone there for business. Q2. What was the first question of Heraclius to Abu Sufyan and what was the latter s answer? Ans2) Heraclius first question to Abu Sufyan was, What degree of relationship do you have with him (Prophet Muhammad)? And the reply was, He is my cousin. Q3. List five of Heraclius questions to Abu Sufyan about Prophet Muhammad, and indicate what was the most important one in your opinion? Why? Ans3) The five questions are as follows: 1. What kind of a family does he (Prophet Muhammad) belong to? Abu Sufyan said, He belongs to a Noble family. 2. Has anybody amongst you claimed the same before him? Abu Sufyan said, No.

2 3. Had you ever blamed him for telling lies before he claimed what he claimed? Abu Sufyan said, No. 4. Was anybody amongst his ancestors a king? Abu Sufyan said, No. 5. Does he break his promises? Abu Sufyan said, No The most important question was, Was anybody amongst his ancestors a king? because Heraclius was also a king and he knew how kings were, but his doubt was cleared when Abu Sufyan replied that no one from among his ancestors was a king. Q4. Discuss Heraclius comments to the five questions. Ans4) Heraclius said, You said that he belonged to a noble family. In fact, all the Prophets came from the noblest lineage of their nations. And then you said nobody else amongst you has claimed such a thing. If such a thing would ve happened I would ve thought that this man was imitating someone before him. When I asked you had he ever lied before, your reply was no, therefore I took for granted that if a man couldn t lie about people, he could never lie about god.

3 Then you said that none of his ancestors was a king, otherwise I would ve thought that this man wanted to take back the kingdom of his ancestors. When I asked you that if he had broken any promises, your reply was negative and surely such are the Prophets, they never break their promise! Q5. Do you think Heraclius believed that Prophet Muhammad was a Messenger of Allah? Why? Ans5) Yes, all the questions he asked to Abu Sufyan were for a reason and all the answers were leading to the kind of man who would be a Prophet of Allah that Heraclius read from the Scriptures from before. Q6) What stopped Heraclius from following the Prophet Muhammad? Ans6) All of Heraclius generals and advisors opposed Islam, so Heraclius feared that he would lose power and kingdom. He was basically confused and distracted by his generals! Q7) What was Abu Sufyan s impression about the future of Islam after meeting Heraclius? Ans7) Abu Sufyan was sure that Islam would be victorious until Allah converted Abu Sufyan himself to Islam even though he disliked it.
