All you have to do is pick up a book of biography of Muhammad or a book of hadith and you will come across this story which is well known and authenticated. The meaning is obvious for people who study the Qur’an. All you’ve done is say that you fail to grasp the obvious.
You unfortunately suffer from short memory. I last time asked you to provide me with solid evidence from
the Koran since you claimed that those miracles were in the Koran. Now you want me to check Hadith collections and biographies, which are not authorised by the Koran itself! This is my point: You cannot prove those so-called miracles without the help of other religious sources of your faith.
The answers. The Quraysh of Mecca sent to the Jews of Yathrib to ask them about Muhammad, and they said that if he answers these questions that he is a prophet and to follow him.
Why the
answers??? I wanted to know why those Jews chose those 3 questions while testing Mohammad’s integrity. Why those 3 questions
only? What were their criteria why selecting test questions? Waiting for the answer
The question was not about Alexander the Great, and neither was the answer. The question was about a traveler, the answer was Dhul-Qarnain who is not the same as Alexander the Great.
WHO did those Jews have in mind while asking that question then? (the identification of Alexander the Great with Dhul-Qarnain is still under discussion) Did the Jews keep the name of that traveller a secret from Mohammad? That’s not the case since the Koran verse makes it clear that some people ask Mohammad about Dhul-Qarnain, knowing and telling him the name of that traveller. What people in that chapter ask Mohammad is
not the NAME of the traveller, but the detailed story of his JOURNEYS!
You’re right and that was my mistake. This appears in Surat al-Israa’ (17) and not in Surat al-Kahf (18). That was my mistake, but you managed to find the ayaa anyway. Good for you.
This verifies my point that the so-called test questions did not appear in one
single chapter! Something wrong with the fiction of the testing by the Jews then! If you believe that Mohammad answered Jews’ questions through different chapters, I wonder if the verses below were meant to answer the same Jews asking questions! (In that case the test would have **6 **questions instead of
3 
)
2: 217. **They question thee **(O Muhammad) with regard to warfare in the sacred month. Say: Warfare therein is a great (transgression), but to turn (men) from the way of Allah …
2: 219. They question thee about strong drink and games of chance.
4: 176. **They ask thee **for a pronouncement. Say: Allah hath pronounced for you concerning distant kindred.
Who are you to say there is no evidence for one thing but that another thing is true? What evidence do YOU have, I wonder!? This story is well known, and appears in collections of hadith and biographies of Muhammad.
I m Angelos, pleased to meet you
18: 83. They will
ask thee of Dhu’l-Qarneyn. Say: I shall recite unto you a remembrance of him.
(it is clear that this is an
answer to a definite
question!)
17: 85.
They are asking thee concerning the Spirit. Say: The Spirit is by command of my Lord, and of knowledge ye have been vouchsafed but little. (it is clear that this is an **answer **- vague one though - to a
question!)
18: 9. Or
deemest thou that **the People of the Cave **and the Inscription are a wonder among Our portents ?
It is clear that this story of the People of the Cave was not related on the occasion of a question!!! This is my evidence that those Jewish group of yours did not question Mohammad about the sleeping people.
Peace,
Angelos N.B.
The CONTEXT of the verse mentioning some people writing the book with their hands has NOTHING to do with the INSPIRED and AUTHORIZED authors of the Bible. Read better:
