Over Ramadan and after Ramadan, I have noticed a change in myself. I am no longer interested in salah or reading Quran. I am an 11 year old who takes their deen very seriously but I'm starting to believe that my iman is weak because of these factors. I always do my five daily prayers, but I feel I do it because it is a habit of mine, not for Allah. I am often unfocused during salah and am bored, thinking about my life in the dunya. Please explain what's going on so I can strengthen my iman. P.S. Thank you for your time.

I think I was born gay.I am only seventeen years old.I had a great time with my boyfriend. Now I'm weak to him. I am a Muslim, I pray and fast But I can't get this haram relationship out of my mind, I feel sexually oriented again and again. For many reasons I can't get out of wanting to bring myself to the path of Islam that I love someone who is of my gender. I feel attracted to him. I want to solve this. And it is better to say something about how I will return to the path of Islam.

What is behind the statement "Were it not 'Iyad the Maghrib would be unknown"?
There's a famous quote about [al-Qadi 'Iyad][1] القاضي عياض بن موسى, which is often mentioned: > لولا عياض لما عُرف المغرب/ لولا عياض ما عرف المغرب Which translates to: > Where it not 'Iyad the Maghrib would be unknown Or an other version of the quote saying: > لولا عياض ما ذُكر المغرب Which transla...
There's a famous quote about al-Qadi 'Iyad القاضي عياض بن موسى, which is often mentioned: > لولا عياض لما عُرف المغرب/ لولا عياض ما عرف المغرب Which translates to: > Where it not 'Iyad the Maghrib would be unknown Or an other version of the quote saying: > لولا عياض ما ذُكر المغرب Which translates to: > Where it not 'Iyad the Maghrib wouldn't be mentioned This quote(s) may refer to the depth of 'Iyad's knowledge, these are his well renowned works: - a-Shifa الشفا بتعريف حقوق المصطفى about attributes and miracles of the Prophet (pbuh) - Mashqriq al-Anwar مشارق الأنوار على صحاح الآثار about difficult terms and strangeness (gharib) or errors in the narrations of sahih al-Bukhari, sahih Muslim and al-Muwatta' - Ikmal al-Mu'allim إكمال المعلم بفوائد صحيح مسلم a commentary on sahih Muslim - al-I'laam bi hudood qawa'id al-Islam الإعلام بحدود قواعد الإسلام about the foundations of Islam: a-Shahadatan, as-Salat, as-Siyam, a-Zakat and al-Hajj - tarteeb al-Madarik -his book on the Maliki madhhab and its scholars- ترتيب المدارك وتقريب المسالك لمعرفة أعلام مذهب مالك However this could also refer to the fact that 'Iyad was among the first scholars from the western Islamic states that didn't need to travel to the east (al-Mashriq) to seek knowledge, as the west (al-Maghrib) and Muslim Iberian peninsula (al-Andalus) had enough great scholars. My question are: - Does this famous quote have a source? - Are there further explanations and meanings of this quote? And if so which?

On a website name Jihadica, various fatwas containing Daesh insignia were collected by certain academicians and researchers in 2014. Fatwa No. 68 is translated by UC Berkeley medical anthropology doctoral candidate, Khashayar Beigi (below): *" the experts of the Shafi'i and Hanbali schools of Islamic jurisprudence permitted killing of the warring infidels or apostates under the constraining circumstances of eating their flesh to stay alive. Imam Alnawawi says, “**There is permission to kill the warring party, the apostate, and moreover to eat their flesh carries no punishment** .” If the experts of jurisprudence have allowed under war conditions believers to eat the flesh of the infidel in order to prevent harm and loss of life, these apply as well to the transplant of organs from the apostate to the Muslim. The life and organs of the apostate are not protected by Muslim jurisprudence."* While the opinions of Daesh certainly do not matter, I want to know whether the opinion they impute on Imam Shafi'i (RA) and Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (RA) are accurate or not? Is cannibalism on the kuffar and murtadeen haram or halal?

Salam-Waleikum-Warahmatullahi-Wabarakatuhu, I am a 16 year old boy, born and raised Muslim, I don't know who to talk to about this thing. Alhamdulillah I have been doing everything to do fewer sins and to become a good person for a few months now. But I have a problem that has plagued me since I was 11-12 years old and that is a very serious problem in my opinion and it is a problem that I still do today, the problem is that I can't get away from pornography and masturbation and from thinking about haram things 😔, every time I do it I regret it but I only understand it after I have done a haram thing and then ask forgiveness from Allah (Subhana-Wa-Tahala) but after I crash again in this Shaytan trap and I'm afraid that Allah (Subhana-Wa-Thala) don't forgive me anymore. I don't know what to do to quit anymore, I'm fasting on Mondays and Thursdays like the Sunnah of the Prophet (Muhammad Sallelahi-Alehi-Wa-Sallam) not always but I'm trying every week, I try to pray more, I try to train / physical exercise to distract myself, I try to detach myself from the phone / computer but I can't stop 😫, I barely managed to do only one week without masturbation and pornography but then I did it again 😓. It is something that bothers me because I am doing zina (I look and listen) which is one of the most sinful things in Islam😣. What should I do, or would you have any advice to give me about it? 😥 Please anyone can answer me? Jazak Allahu Khairan,

It is narrated in The History of al-Tabari Al-Tabari, Al-Tabari, Vol. 2, p. 21, p. 21: >"It is related by the father of Damrah b. Rabi'ah-Ibn 'Ata' that Ham begat all those who are black and curly-haired, while Japheth begat all those who are full-faced with small eyes, and Shem begat everyone who is handsome of face with beautiful hair. Noah prayed that the hair of Ham's descendants would not grow beyond their ears, and that wherever his descendants met the children of Shem, the latter would enslave them." What is the authenticity of these narrations? Likewise, are there any authentic passages within the Islamic discourse that relate a message that African folks are destined to be enslaved and cursed?

my name is Talha, and I work for an affiliate network.My role is affiliate manager, and I find affiliates to promote our offers. We have offers in home improvement, solar, and loans. When the affiliate generates leads, I also get commission from it. Is it halal for me to get commission from loan leads, as my company is not providing the loan directly to customers; they just send leads to buyers, and then they provide loans? Is my earning halal?

enter image description hereIn Islam prayer time is calculated based on the position of sun: dawn, noon, set etc , I heard different methods to adopt to calculate prayer time when day or night time is too long or too short. i. Follow the nearest stable country. ii. Combine prayers : Duhar with Asar and Magrib with Isha . But I don't feel none of them a proper solution as Islam suggested 5 times prayers to stabilize daily routines of a Muslim and keep in memory of God throughout a day. But Muslims daily prayers is messing up their routines due to imbalance in day and night duration. The Quran and Hadith explained many things based on the primary audience and the native context of the Prophet. Rules such as Zakat and traveling to Hajj (by camel) are explained similarly to how prayer and fasting times are described. Allah has given us common sense, and the Quran consistently encourages us to think. Therefore, it is our duty to derive rules from their fundamental principles. We do not have to give wheat as Zakatul Fitr; we can travel to Hajj by flight. In places where the moon cannot be observed, we can calculate dates using our advanced knowledge of astronomy. There are regions where the sun never sets or never rises; this does not contradict the Quran. Instead, we should apply our logic. Regarding prayer and fasting times, these are interconnected. Prayer times regulate the daily activities of a Muslim and should not disrupt sleep or other aspects of life—it is not meant to be a hardship. Allah never intended for Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr prayers to be performed consecutively within three hours. Some people make Islam harder by following literal interpretations without considering the context. We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won’t be offended. Can we adopt the following method to find prayer times where day length is too high or too short ? The noon time can be calculated from anywhere on Earth; it is the point when the sun is at its zenith. This is the only correct reference point we get from the sun, regardless of the location, whether the person is inside a well or on top of the Burj Khalifa. Therefore, noon time should not be changed or moved based on Makkah or any other stable country. From the point of noon (N), we can calculate prayer times backward and forward. The duration from noon to sunset is never more than 7 hours across Saudi Arabia. In Makkah, the maximum is 6 hours and 42 minutes. We can use these calculations to determine prayer times accurately. Max_half_day = 7 Min_half_day = 5 Dhuhr : N , where N is the time immediately after noon. X = sunset - N If x > Max_half_day X = Max_half_day Else if x Max_half_day Y = Max_half_day Else if Y < Min_half_day Y = Min_half_day End Fajr end time = N - Y This calculation will align with day-today activities of a person. Let me know your opinions and corrections in the calculation. The attached picture shows an example ideal situation of a place along the equator, where day length is 12 hours.

Who called Mohammad a "prophet", when?

In which year was Mohammad considered a "prophet"? **Who** first started calling him that? Per dictionary: > **prophet** /ˈprɑfət/ /ˈprɒfɪt/ > > ..future is a foggy mystery, but a prophet sees beyond that fog to speak about what’s to come. A fortune teller is a prophet, and so is a savvy computer designer who knows how technology will change in ten years. Prophet comes from the Greek word for “spokesman,” which explains another definition of prophet: someone who speaks on behalf of God. I disavow this clever use of homonym, for it primaf appears that *someone* is trying to trick the listener into thinking the claim is Mohammad has made prophesies (and if that's the claim, this Q would be Whatever's his prophecy?) putting him at the same level as actual prophets when "Prophet" here merely refers to a spokesman/messenger.In fact the trickery employed here seems to be two-fold, first downgrading Christ to merely-a-prophet and then upgrading Mohammad to the same level. For answer, please kindly include a dictionary quote too [perhaps starting from an arabic one].

Why did Allah create so many galaxies, planets and other astronomical phenomenas?
When we consider the vastness of the universe, is there any other reason or purpose for its existence beyond people being reminded of Allah and praising Him for the beautiful things he has created? Has any other purpose of these creations been mentioned in the Quran or hadith?
