Dear B. Ahmed,

You wrote that
"how did you know he was an orphan, quran does not say it."


93 - Surah Ad-Duha
-----------------------------
In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

6. Did He not find you an orphan and gave you a refuge?

7. And He found you unaware (of the Qur'ân, its legal laws, and Prophet hood, etc.) and
guided you?

8. And He found you poor, and made you rich (self sufficient with self contentment, etc.)?

9.Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression,

10. And repulse not the beggar;

Haven't you seen these verses in Quran before? There are a lot of websites that offer electronic version of Quran in many languages. Just search keyword "orphan" to reach those verses and more. Thanks to technology.

You wrote that
"Besides,how do you know about Mohammed's teachings?"

There are countless books about teachings of Muhammed, peace upon him. I personally still hungry about reading any book about him I read many, though. But I can't describe myself as an expert on hadith.

Yours
Nuray
