And later on in the next verse it says four days?
Keep in mind the total duration of heavens and earth creation is six days.
So did the earth take up 2 days out of 6
or 4 days?
Specifically what is the meaning of the verse below about the four days.
**Verses:**
> ۞ قُلْ أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَكْفُرُونَ بِٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَرْضَ فِى يَوْمَيْنِ وَتَجْعَلُونَ لَهُۥٓ أَندَادًۭا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

> “Say (O Muhammad): Do you verily disbelieve in Him Who created the earth in **two Days**? And you set up rivals (in worship) with Him? That is the Lord of the ‘Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
>
> وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ مِن فَوْقِهَا وَبَـٰرَكَ فِيهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِيهَآ أَقْوَٰتَهَا فِىٓ أَرْبَعَةِ أَيَّامٍۢ سَوَآءًۭ لِّلسَّآئِلِينَ
>
> He placed therein (i.e. the earth) firm mountains from above it, and He blessed it, and measured therein its sustenance (for its dwellers) in **four Days** equal (i.e. all these four ‘days’ were equal in the length of time) for all those who ask (about its creation).
>
> ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَهِىَ دُخَانٌۭ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلْأَرْضِ ٱئْتِيَا طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًۭا قَالَتَآ أَتَيْنَا طَآئِعِينَ
>
> Then He rose over (Istawa) towards the heaven when it was smoke, and said to it and to the earth: ‘Come both of you willingly or unwillingly.’ They both said: ‘We come willingly.’

> Then He completed and finished from their creation (as) seven heavens in **two Days** and He made in each heaven its affair. And We adorned the nearest (lowest) heaven with lamps (stars) to be an adornment as well as to guard (from the devils by using them as missiles against the devils).

In islam what is our belief about morality? Need clarification

Where does our morality come from in Islam?
From what I understand — and I think I may be mistaken here, which is why I'm asking — it seems that there are two views. One view says that morality comes entirely from Allah, and all our morals are based on the Qur'an and Sunnah. Without them, there would be no such thing as good or bad, because — according to this view — we wouldn't have any sense of moral purpose if we didn't believe in the Qur'an or Sunnah.
The confusion I have with this view is: What about the fitrah? According to Ibn Taymiyyah, we have an innate sense of good and bad. But if good and bad are based entirely on the Shariah, doesn't that mean every aspect of Shariah is innately ingrained in us? Even things like not eating pork or lowering one’s gaze?
The second view is that morality is innate, and we can reason about right and wrong even without divine revelation. The issue with this, though, is that it seems to fall into the “is–ought” fallacy — the idea that just because something is a certain way, that doesn’t mean it ought to be.
If we don't have divine revelation, how do we rationally determine what is good or bad? For example, how do we know that harm is bad unless we already know it stops us from reaching an ultimate goal in life?

Assalamualaikum brothers and sisters,
I was 5 months pregnant and had a still birth of my baby last week. Just a week before losing my baby, I had a dream about someone kicking my stomach multiple times and it resulted in me bleeding heavily. The next morning I checked and wveryth Was fine Alhamdulillah but a few days after my baby’s heartbeat stopped. After 10 days of losing my baby and going through a near death experience at hospital , I am back at home. I wished and prayed to Allah SWT to show my face of the person who did it. And I saw in a day dream, a middle aged woman sitting and writing something on a paper. Last night I dreamt about me being at my husband’s ancestral home. I want to know the meaning of these dreams as I feel that these dreams especially the attack on my belly was from shaitan. I also bled from my nose the day my baby passed away and physically I had no signs of baby distress or anything. Please guide me through the interpretation of this dream. And also what this woman means and why I saw her after my baby passed away. Please help. I know it was Allah SWT will and He has something better in store for me. But I also believe it was an act of nazar or hasad or shaitan. Pls help.

Does Qur'an 2:241 speak about alimony?
Scholars of Islam generally claim that it is not permissible for a woman to demand alimony from her ex-Husband except in instances of child support. However, I came across this Ayah in Quran 2:241 that states: > وَلِلْمُطَلَّقَاتِ مَتَاعٌۢ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ ۖ حَقًّا عَلَى ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ > > Reasonable p...

> Reasonable provisions must be made for divorced women—a duty on those
> mindful ˹of Allah˺.
>
> Surah Al-Baqarah (2:241)
The vast majority of jurists interpret this as a Mahr given to women whose dower was not specified during the time of consumation of the marriage.
However, according to IslamQA , it is the opinion of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyya and Sheikh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymin that this must be given to all divorced women, even if the marriage has been consumated and the Mahr has been given.
> Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Maintenance must be given to every divorced women, even after consummation.
What is the opinion of the four schools of thought and other classical Islamic scholars on this topic. Is this a one time payment or regular monthly payments akin to alimony in the West.

What are the justifications for the marriage between the Prophet (SAW) and Aisha (RA) in regards to my claims below?

For the past year ive kind of been questioning whether to believe in Hadith or just solely the Quran.
For me there are 2 types of people, the people who try defend it by justifying the marriage and those who try deny it with other Hadith.
Regarding the latter, the talking point is always how Asma (RA) reports show she was older or Ibn Hisham’s Sirah show it but the Hadith are Sahih regarding this issue and one even talks about her playing with toys which is forbidden for adults. This is just a hard to defend point and the one way for me to truly accept this is to just deny Hadith altogether which introduces other problems.
The first point is the main one though. I see some people say that back then women use to mature earlier which is biologically wrong. Another talking point is how the prophet (pbuh) waited 3 years and how only 100 years ago it was banned in Western countries. This to me is another poor point that I just can’t seem to accept, God is All-Knowing and All-Mighty. Allah (SWT) knows that in the future child marriage will be regarded so and so and back then Allah (SWT) knew. Child marriage is not only psychologically harmful but physically too and Islam also forbids harm if I remember correctly. Also, just because puberty starts it doesn’t make someone an adult they still have to go through the whole of puberty and even then most are still regarded as kids. Even in the future if the age somehow goes up to 25 for being a kid, Allah (SWT) knows this and would’ve prohibited it all the way in the prophet (pbuh) time since He knew it would happen and that child marriage is harmful. Islam is a timeless religion yet this thing is permitted and I just feel like I can’t accept Hadith anymore.

if one skips the jumma regilarly (often or almost always), is it haram? Will Allah send them to hell or punish somehow? That is, what the consequences are?
More specifically, is there any difference in the answer for a male / female: Is it acceptable for a man / woman to skip Jumma regularly, or just stop attending it?
I ask because our university bureaucrats invented a new annoyance for the Muslim students (I am a professor in a non- Muslim country. Many of my students are Muslim): the university bureaucrats now insist on that all students must attend a "seminar", which is held every Friday, and usually in the afternoon or early evening, i.e., at the same time when my students typically are at the Mosque . This implies that attending jumma namaz becomes practically impossible.
Thus the students are forced to make a choice: degree and scholarship vs. attending jumma.
Such a choice between scholarship and jumma namaz sounds to me much as what in Christian tradition is called to sell one's soul to the devil.That is to explicitly renounce God. Here, the choice between scholarship and jumma sounds to me much like that: renouncing God I for money. Is it that bad sin/ haram , in the Islamic view?
am lost as for what to advise my students to do. I cannot advise them haram, and I cannot advise them to drop out from the university.

Salam aleikum brothers and sisters.
I have heard some imams say that the lowest person in Jannah will in reality have so much more than this entire Dunya and everything in it and that Allah SWT just uses the example of 10 times this Dunya and everything in it to give our extremely limited brains a tidy idea of how much he will actually get. How true is this?

Allah's eternal punishment is undeserving

As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I hope this message finds you well. I have a question that has been deeply troubling me and affecting my faith, and I sincerely seek your guidance and knowledge.
I am struggling to understand how Allah, who is Al-Rahman (The Most Merciful), can punish someone for eternity in Hell. If a person lives for a short time in this world — perhaps 70 or 80 years — how can their mistakes, no matter how great, justify an eternal punishment?
From my understanding, even if someone fully knows the truth of Islam yet rejects it until death, the concept of eternal punishment feels difficult to reconcile with Allah’s infinite mercy. In my human perspective, I feel that I would never punish someone endlessly for a finite lifetime of mistakes. Of course, I know my understanding is limited, but this creates a deep conflict in my heart.
The only reasoning I can think of is that perhaps the soul, even after being in Hell for unimaginable lengths of time, still refuses to accept Allah — but then again, Allah created us and has complete power over our nature. Could He not have created us all to eventually enter Jannah, even if at different levels, so that His perfect justice and perfect mercy are both fulfilled?
I ask this question with humility and sincerity, not out of disrespect, but because I genuinely wish to understand and strengthen my iman. I would be deeply grateful for your explanation.

It is understood by the consensus of scholars that a father may arrange the marriage for his minor son and the marriage is binding on him when he reaches puberty.
My question is — who is responsible to pay the dower (mahr) to his wife. The father or the minor son?
Ibn Abi Shaybah has posted several opinions in his book , The Book of the Compiler, both of which are contradicting each other. Some scholars say the father, some say the minor son.
I would like to know the opinion of the four madhabs and other classical scholars, and what is the most authentic opinion in this regard.

Sun, Sunset, Sunrise, Orbits and Allah's Throne
I have a question about Hadith 3199, Book 59, Hadith 10.

I have a question about Hadith 3199, Book 59, Hadith 10. In there is told by Abu Dar that he heard from Muhammad(pbuh) that the sun at sunset travels to the Throne of Allah and has to get permission before it is allowed to rise up again. It ends with telling that that is is what verse 36:38 of the Quran is refering to. Is this a correct Hadith?
The chain must be correct to make it inside Sahih Bukhari and the narrator must be a trustworthy person. But is it possible that he heard it wrong from Muhammad(pbuh), misunderstanded it or even confused it with other things?
In the past it would not be as strange as it is now in this scientific age. We know now that the earth rotates around the sun and around itself. It is not the sun that goes around the earth. The day that the sun comes up from the west will be caused by the earth that starts to rotate in the opposite way. And the sun too is moving inside the Milky Way galaxy and I though that the verse in the Hadith refers to that last movement instead of refering to the sunset and the sunrise. We also know that the sun at sunset is still shining at the opposite part of the earth. If we think at night that the sun went to the Throne of Allah what should the people at the other side of the earth think while for them it is day on that same moment?
Is it just me who does not understand how that is possible, or is science not that far yet, or is it symbolic? Can it be misunderstood and narrated by a good man through a correct chain?
