What did the Jews ask Prophet Muhammad (SAW)?
Question
The Jews asked Prophet Muhammad (SAW) 3 questions. What were these? What is the answer he gave? Why did they ask this?
Answer
The Jews have asked questions many times. On one occasion, the Ulama of the Jews advised the Kuffaar of Makkah to pose the following three questions: a) The reality of the soul, b) The incident of the people of cave (Ashaab-e-Kahf), and c) The king who ruled many places of the world.
Upon these questions, Surah Kahf (cave) was revealed.
