Assalamu alaikum.
My question is about the Hadith in Muslim 2844 where some companions of Muhammad saw heard a noise and they went to Muhammad saw and he told them that it's the noise of the rock falling in jahannam. My question is that how did they hear that noise when sound can't even travel through space. The Hadith didn't mention that it's a miracle. I have the same question about the trumpet of israfeel as.
How can this be explained? Please explain my question I've been confused about this for some time. Jazakallahu Khair.

I wonder when you fast for 3 days to take back an oath on not eating something because you realize that thing is in everything. Is there something that has to be recited to make it clear that you take back the oath or do you tell God that you will fast for 3 days because of that cause to take back the oath on that particular thing. Sorry if this sounds complicated, grateful for answer.

What is the Islamic response to where you are born/culture mainly determines whether you are Muslim?
I said the word “mainly” because there are exceptions but I’ve seen a video that is getting quite famous about how where you are born/the culture you are raised in mainly determines your religious values. If you are born in Saudi 95% will be Muslim, in Thailand majority will be Buddhist. If you are...
I said the word “mainly” because there are exceptions but I’ve seen a video that is getting quite famous about how where you are born/the culture you are raised in mainly determines your religious values.
If you are born in Saudi 95% will be Muslim, in Thailand majority will be Buddhist. If you are born in a culture where you are made to adhere to religious principles strictly from birth it will be something you follow strictly even as you grow up.
The main challenges I seen from this are, despite birthplace/culture being arguably the main determining factor to what religion you follow they all would claim there religion is the ONE true religion, people in certain cultures won’t challenge their own beliefs but rather have an extremely biased outlook on religion and ties with confirmation bias to ensure that one stays/follows the same said religion, if they were born in another environment they would likely follow another religion and as they grow up likely not convert to the religion they are already in.
Therefore, religion is mainly determines by culture/where you are born instead of the actual beliefs and if people were born in to other families/cultures/areas they would likely follow a different faith or not be religious at all.
Is there any Hadith/Quranic verses or any Islamic scholars that refute this?

Assalaamualaikum!
Is it possible that Allah changes the person one will marry if one makes a dua, because prayers can change fate of a person if Allah accepts that dua?
In other words, can one ask to be married to a specific person and does Allah accept these kinds of prayers or is it against His Fitrah?
Jazak Allahu Khair!

Did the Prophet (saw) say this about knowledge?
> Acquire knowledge. It enables its possessor to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way to Heaven; it is our friend in the desert, our society in solitude, our companion when friendless; it guides us to happiness; it sustains us in misery.
I searched Sunnah.com with the string "Acquire knowledge" but didn't found any helpful results.

Assalamualaikum! I'm a 24-year-old woman, and my parents have arranged a marriage for me with a man who is well-educated, financially stable, and living abroad. Moving abroad aligns with my career goals, but I don't feel attracted to him and there's no spark between us. I want to decline this arrangement but am uncertain. Should I compromise on love when everything else seems ideal? I'm really confused and need advice.

So we have those non Muslims claiming that there is no historical evidence for the existence of our prophet pbuh and the four caliphs ra and they say the quran was written down by a group of people, nauzubillah.
I find this claim strange because we have so many hadiths and in Makkah we also have the grave of our prophet saw.
How can we answer this claim using actual evidence and end this vague argument once and for all?

Is this hadith sahih
عن حذيفة بن أسِيد: سمعت رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - يقول: «إنّ النُّطفة التي تُخلَقُ منها النَّسَمَةُ تطير في المرأة أربعين يومًا وأربعين ليلة، فلا يبقى منها شعرٌ ولا بشرٌ ولا عِرقٌ ولا عظمٌ إلا دخله، حتى إنها لَتَدخُلُ بين الظُّفُر واللحم، فإذا مضى لها أربعون ليلة وأربعون يومًا أهبطه الله...
عن حذيفة بن أسِيد: سمعت رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - يقول: «إنّ النُّطفة التي تُخلَقُ منها النَّسَمَةُ تطير في المرأة أربعين يومًا وأربعين ليلة، فلا يبقى منها شعرٌ ولا بشرٌ ولا عِرقٌ ولا عظمٌ إلا دخله، حتى إنها لَتَدخُلُ بين الظُّفُر واللحم، فإذا مضى لها أربعون ليلة وأربعون يومًا أهبطه الله إلى الرحم.
This is long hadith: I am just quoting the top part.
Translate: Hudhayfah ibn Asid reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:
"Indeed, the sperm-drop from which a human being is created flies within the woman for forty days and forty nights. Nothing of it remains from hair, skin, vein, or bone except that it enters into it, even entering between the nail and the flesh. After forty nights and forty days have passed, Allah sends it down to the womb
This is reported by Imam suyuti: link to his book: https://shamela.ws/book/12884/4020
Ibn hajar called one of the narrator liar from the chain mentioned by al-wahidi in his tafsir, and it was graded very weak
This narration from imam suyuti I didn't find anyone else reporting or commenting on it.
Does anyone know if this sahih or what's scholarly opinion on it?

Why do Sunni Muslims not reach out to the people of Gaza as stated in Quran?
Why do Sunni Muslims not reach out to the people of Gaza as stated in Quran >[26:277][1]: Except those who believe, do good, remember Allah often, and ˹poetically˺ avenge ˹the believers˺ after being wrongfully slandered. The wrongdoers will come to know what ˹evil˺ end they will meet. and >[8:72][2]...
Why do Sunni Muslims not reach out to the people of Gaza as stated in Quran
>26:277 : Except those who believe, do good, remember Allah often, and ˹poetically˺ avenge ˹the believers˺ after being wrongfully slandered. The wrongdoers will come to know what ˹evil˺ end they will meet.
and
>8:72 : Those who believed, emigrated, and strived with their wealth and lives in the cause of Allah, as well as those who gave them shelter and help—they are truly guardians of one another. As for those who believed but did not emigrate, you have no obligations to them until they emigrate. **But if they seek your help ˹against persecution˺ in faith, it is your obligation to help them**, except against people bound with you in a treaty. Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.
Islam always invites Muslims to help each other, even in very difficult war conditions. So why do we only see the Shiites of Iran, Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen helping the people of Gaza, and we don't see any practical action from the (1.5 billion) Sunni Muslims? Do Sunnis believe that the verses of the Qur'an are abrogated? Even with this view, the Quran has said that Muslims are brothers and sisters.
> 49:10 : The believers are but one brotherhood, so make peace between your brothers. And be mindful of Allah so you may be shown mercy.
Or the Qur'an has revealed to us the most hostile of all people towards the faithful i.e. a group of Jews
> 5:82 : Surely You will find the most hostile of all people towards the faithful to be the **Jews** and the **polytheists**, and surely you will find the nearest of them in affection to the faithful to be those who say ‘We are Christians.’ That is because there are priests and monks among them, and because they are not arrogant.
So, with these clear signs from the Quran, why don't Sunni Muslims do anything against US and Israel? What is the use of Sunni Islam if they do not consider themselves obligated to reach out to their religious brother?

For those interested, I'll also be asking this question on Christianity.SE and Mi Yodeya (with respect to those religions).
In recent rallies, protesting what is perceived as bigoted policies by president Donald Trump, several individuals who are not in fact Muslim and do not subscribe to the Islamic faith have claimed they are Muslim in a show of solidarity with the Muslim world.

Would a non-Muslim sin if he proclaimed himself a Muslim for the sake of solidarity?
While I generally understand that not subscribing to the faith in general is sinful, I'm curious about the act of proclaiming that you are an adherent when that is not true (I'm asking in particular about the sin of falsely claiming adherence to the faith, this should be understood as being a different or greater magnitude sin than simply violating any general rules about lying or telling falsehoods).
