Why Ibraheem was referred to as Ummah (أُمَّة) in this verse and why it was translated with other meanings?
My focus here is on the translation of the word Ummah (أُمَّة) in Arabic, by which Allah attributed Ibraheem in verse ([16:120][1]). As shown below there are different interpretation in its translation: > إِنَّ إِبْرَهِيمَ كَانَ **أُمَّةً** > Sahih international and Muhsin Khan > Indeed, Abraham was...
My focus here is on the translation of the word Ummah (أُمَّة) in Arabic, by which Allah attributed Ibraheem in verse (16:120 ). As shown below there are different interpretation in its translation:
> إِنَّ إِبْرَهِيمَ كَانَ **أُمَّةً**
> Sahih international and Muhsin Khan
> Indeed, Abraham was a [comprehensive] **leader**,... .
- while Pickthall and Dr. Ghali used the word "nation",
- Yusuf Ali used the word "model"
- and Shakir "exemplar".
All these words could certainly fit to describe this prophet (), but
my question is:
What is the actual meaning of this word in this context and why was it used as an attribute of Ibraheem and how -if it actually does- does it differ from it usual meaning?
Which was discussed before in:
- https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/46012/what-makes-one-a-part-of-the-ummah
- https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/7570/what-does-ummah-mean-in-islam
Or is there a secret behind calling Ibraheem "ummah"?

Did Hadrat Muhammad (SAW) have a slave or not?
It was narrated from Anas, that the Messenger of Allah had a female slave with whom he had intercourse, but 'Aishah and Hafsah would not leave him alone until he said that she was forbidden for him.

It was narrated from Anas, that the Messenger of Allah had a female slave with whom he had intercourse, but 'Aishah and Hafsah would not leave him alone until he said that she was forbidden for him. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed:
"O Prophet! Why do you forbid (for yourself) that which Allah has allowed to you.' until the end of the Verse.
https://sunnah.com/nasai:3959
Narrated 'Amir bin Al-Harith:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not leave a Dinar or a Dirham or a male or a female slave. He left only his white mule on which he used to ride, and his weapons, and a piece of land which he gave in charity for the needy travelers.
https://sunnah.com/bukhari:4461
Are these contradictions? Cause first says that there was a female slave and second says there was no male or female slave.

Did prophet Muhammad know Aramaic/Hebrew or any other languages?
Is there any source or reference or evidence about the languages in which the Prophet Muhammad was fluent? Specially that Quran is very much inspired by the Old Testament.

Asalam alikum, I wanted to ask if it will be okay with norms of Islam that if I want to marry a girl and she has a bad past and people know about it should I be with her and marry her? I know a girl who wants to marry we have no haram relationship between us we talking to out parents but recently I found out she had many haram relationships and kissed some boys and I kinda don't like her anymore not because she had a bad history but the society and people know about her and I wanted to know what quran and hadiths say about this? And should I advance my relationship with her?

No offense meant.
As I have been searching, ***the Quran*** is untouchable, and cannot be written or translated. It is as it is, and Muhammad (pbuh) has only received it via the Archangel Gavril. There is no written form prior.
Worse, there are many translations of the perceived Writing. I have one of these translations, and it is really bad. So bad, that anyone can see it is not the Quran, not even a translation of that.
Are there any opinions or, better, Fathwas on that point?
Just asking.

I have read that slaves do not veil from strangers. I want someone to give a proper explanation of how does that reconcile with 24:31:

My confusion is that if a slave is a believer then she can not reveal her adornment except to the people in this list. Strangers are not in the list. How to explain this?

Assalamu alaikum.
I know these are very, very bad things I did but some of the things I was genuinely ignorant about since I was in 10 grade when I joined Islam and I came to know about it from internet. I don't have any Muslim person in real life to tell me about these things.
I am a revert but later left the Islam. I realized my mistake and did my shahada again. I'm a Muslim again. But I have a question: when I first became a Muslim I did many prayers wrong like horrible pronunciation that are straight up many times wrong, didn't did salam at the end of prayer which is is a pillar of prayer (I knew about that it was essentialwhen I did not do Salam at one prayer because of fear lf parents and society). Didn't knew about wudu or forget about it before doing Prayer etc things like that.
Since I left islam and joined again, do I have to repeat or make up all these players again?

I have been studying the Quran about what prophet Muhammed wrote concerning the physical attributes of the anti-Christ. Does the Quran actually confirm that he will have two eyes but one eye will be blinded? or does it actually say that this person will only have one eye on the head? This is because this prophecy was written more than 1400 years ago but there seems to be some hidden secret in Hollywood concerning blinding the right eye as most celebrities block or blind the right eye.
Anas Ibn Malik narrated that Muhammed said:
>"There is never a prophet who has not warned the Ummah of that one-eyed liar; behold he is one-eyed and your Lord is not one-eyed. Dajjal is blind of one eye On his forehead are the letters k. f. r. (Kafir) between the eyes of the Dajjal which every Muslim would be able to read."
So is it true that he will be one eyed technically or he wil have both eyes but one will be made blind?

How to interpret the hadith concerning Umar on direction of prayer, hijab, and advising the Prophet's wives?
The following hadith in Sahih Bukhari ([sunnah.com][1]) seems to suggest Allah agreed with Umar on three things: 1) The direction of prayer changed to qiblah; 2) The divine verse of hijab; and 3) Umar advising Prophet Muhammad's (saw) wives when they were troubling him. > Narrated Anas: 'Umar said,...
The following hadith in Sahih Bukhari (sunnah.com ) seems to suggest Allah agreed with Umar on three things:
1) The direction of prayer changed to qiblah;
2) The divine verse of hijab; and
3) Umar advising Prophet Muhammad's (saw) wives when they were troubling him.
> Narrated Anas: 'Umar said, "I agreed with Allah in three things," or said, "My Lord agreed with me in three things. I said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Would that you took the station of Abraham as a place of prayer.' I also said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Good and bad persons visit you! Would that you ordered the Mothers of the believers to cover themselves with veils.' So the Divine Verses of Al-Hijab (i.e. veiling of the women) were revealed. I came to know that the Prophet (ﷺ) had blamed some of his wives so I entered upon them and said, 'You should either stop (troubling the Prophet (ﷺ) ) or else Allah will give His Apostle better wives than you.' When I came to one of his wives, she said to me, 'O 'Umar! Does Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) haven't what he could advise his wives with, that you try to advise them?' " Thereupon Allah revealed:-- "It may be, if he divorced you (all) his Lord will give him instead of you, wives better than you Muslims (who submit to Allah).." (66.5)
Does this mean Umar was receiving inspiration guidance from Allah?! When only the Prophet Muhammad (saw) is the true source of divine guidance from Allah swt? Can you offer explanation from ibn hajar or classical scholars?

Is it okay to pray when naked?
Is the salat accepted when we pray without wearing any clothing and without seen by anyone? For example praying in the house or a safe and enclosed space naked.
