This question was answered by majority of the candidates who dwelled on the biography
of the Prophet (S. A. W.) instead of pointing out those difficult times in his pre-prophetic
life. Such difficult stages include the death of his father before birth, financial constraints
which posed a challenge in getting a wet nurse for him at birth, the early death of his
mother, the death of some of his children before prophethood and his spiritual exile in the
cave ofHira as a result of the repulsive socio-religious structure of Arabia. Thus,
candidates performance was not too good.
