End purpose of Islam
We all know that Islam was brought into this world to bring peace and brotherhood in this world but on the other hand from Hadiths and other sources, we know that till the end of times, there will be war and chaos and there will be coming of Imam Mahdi and Prophet Isa and Dajjal as they will come at...
We all know that Islam was brought into this world to bring peace and brotherhood in this world but on the other hand from Hadiths and other sources, we know that till the end of times, there will be war and chaos and there will be coming of Imam Mahdi and Prophet Isa and Dajjal as they will come at the end of times when there will be lots of battles and fights.
I see this as a contradiction because on the one hand, Islam was brought to bring order to life on Earth, and on the other side we see that till the end of time, there will be battles between people of different religions specifically Jews. This clearly shows that till the end of time, there will be existing non-Muslims and Islam will not be a global religion.
Isn't this similar to the fate of Jinns when they used to live on the planet and at the end of their time Allah SWT sent angels to fight them and eradicate them from the planet and then brought Humans on Earth? If that is true, then aren't we the same as Jinns and no better?

Is Salah nullified if I pray facing a door and someone opens it?
Salamu walaikum, I usually pray in my room and the qibla is facing my door, so I usually pray with the door in front of me closed, so that I can focus. iF one opens the door, not knowing, that I was praying, does this nullify my prayer (or break it), because he interrupted me. Jazakallah Khairan.

Assalamu Alaykum.
I'm just wondering if it is halal to go up to a girl who I find attractive, tell her she is beautiful and compliment her, and then go on my way? No discussion, I just compliment her. Would it also be alright to give her a small gift? And after the brief encounter, we go on our separate paths. Does this transgress Islamic boundaries?
Jazak Allah Khair and may Allah reward you.

Discrepancies regarding the story of Safi Ibn Sayyad
I have some questions regarding the story of Safi Ibn Sayyad. It is narrated in: https://sunnah.com/bukhari:1354, we understand that this young boy named Safi ibn Sayyad was accused of possibly being the Dajjal.

I have some questions regarding the story of Safi Ibn Sayyad. It is narrated in: https://sunnah.com/bukhari:1354 , we understand that this young boy named Safi ibn Sayyad was accused of possibly being the Dajjal. The rasool (swl) considered this as a mere possibility, yet, I find many discrepancies with this. For starters, at this current time, this boy was from Medina, yet, the rasool (swl) had stated that one of the criteria of the Dajjal's character, is that he cannot enter Mecca or Medina.
Secondly, in the following narration: https://sunnah.com/muslim:2920a , we find that the Dajjal will not emerge until the conquering of Constantinople, yet, the rasool (swl) had considered the possibility that Safi ibn Sayyad could have been the Dajjal? Even though he was from Medina, despite the fact Constantinople had not been conquered, wouldn't such criteria immediately disprove the fact that he is the Dajjal?
Thirdly, in the following narration: https://sunnah.com/muslim:2942a , we find that a group of former Christians had seen the Dajjal chained down on another island far from Arabia, yet, suspicions were cast on Safi Ibn Sayyad of being the Dajjal? We know that for example, Umar RA and his family swore by Allah that Safi Ibn Sayyad was the Dajjal and Umar RA swore in front of the rasool (swl) and he had remained silent, showing that the rasool (swl) felt it may be possible too. Yet, all these findings and signs about the Dajjal completely point out the contrary to Safi ibn Sayyad being the Dajjal. How could it even be possible that the great companions, let alone, the rasool (swl) would even consider this a possibility? Lastly, we have the following narration: https://sunnah.com/muslim:2927c that shows that even after the death of the rasool (swl), the companions had considered this to be a possibility.
How is this even possible? So many signs, prophecies, and so fourth completely pointed in an opposite direction towards Safi Ibn Sayyad being the Dajjal, yet, why and how could the rasool (swl) even consider such a possibility?
I would appreciate it if someone was able to give a detailed response to all of the questions that have been aroused. This to me feels like an extremely compelling theological problem and I would like to be able to dismiss it somehow.

Chapter: 27, Faraid 14 states
Imam Malik's Muwatta
>Yahya related to me from Malik from a reliable source of his who had heard Said ibn al-Musayyab say, ''Umar ibn al-Khattab refused to let anyone inherit from the non-arabs except for one who was born among the arabs."
Malik said, "If a pregnant woman comes from the land of the enemy and gives birth in arab land so that he is her (an arab) child, he inherits from her if she dies, and she inherits from him if he dies, by the Book of Allah (al-Muwatta' )
Is this authenic if so can you explain it

Is it okay to pray to god to destory hell?
It is a win win situation if Hell is destroyed. So what about praying to god to destory Hell so that all Jin and Mankind will enter paradise. So is it wrong according to Quran to pray to god to remove the Hell and judgement and pray to god to give highest paradise for all human kind and Jinn?

I understand and know that being with the same sex is haram but why exactly? This is coming from someone who is straight. I’m just curious because I know Allah wants us to choose Islam because it’s logical, not because we’re told to, therefore I am wondering and hoping to get an answer. What in the Quran hints at homosexuality being haram? Is it haram for someone to question their sexuality. Is it ok for someone to feel like they’re attracted to the same sex as long as they don’t act on it or will you go to hell for thinking you like the same sex? I would really love to get some answers to my question.

Can Muslims Break Fast at the Totality of the Eclipse on Monday, April 8 (Ramadan 29, 1445 AH)
Can Muslims break fast at the totality of the lunar eclipse on Monday, April 8 (Ramadan 29, 1445 AH)? The Prophet Muhammed (ﷺ) says: صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ “Observe fast on sighting it (the new moon) and break (fast) on sighting it (the new moon), but if the sky is cloudy for...
Can Muslims break fast at the totality of the lunar eclipse on Monday, April 8 (Ramadan 29, 1445 AH)?
The Prophet Muhammed (ﷺ) says:
صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ
“Observe fast on sighting it (the new moon) and break (fast) on sighting it (the new moon), but if the sky is cloudy for you, then complete the number (of thirty).”
Optical effects during a total eclipse including Bailey’s Beads (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baily%27s_beads) create a visible crescent moon.
This suggests breaking fast after viewing the total eclipse follows the teaching of The Prophet (ﷺ).

How to interpret Hadith about Universe creation

> Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, created the clay on Saturday and He
> created the mountains on Sunday and He created the trees on Monday and
> He created the things entailing labour on Tuesday and created light on
> Wednesday and He caused the animals to spread on Thursday and created
> Adam (peace be upon him) after 'Asr on Friday; the last creation at
> the last hour of the hours of Friday, i. e. between afternoon and
> night. This hadith is narrated through another chain of transmitters. [Muslim 2789 ]
Day/Night/Hour are concepts which we use in the context of earth rotation around the sun! When earth is facing the sun during rotation, it is day and when it is not, it is night! We are dependant on the earth rotation for day/night/hour.
I know there is a Quranic verse which says 50,000 days of Humans is like 1 day according to God but the day mean "period" and it has got nothing to do with "day/night of Humans". The Hadith specifically mentions day names such as "Monday", "Tuesday" and concepts like "hours".
I was wondering, how can the concept of day-time/night-time & days like "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", etc can be applied to God?

What is the definition and authenticity of a hadith graded "Sahih in Chain" and can it be used as evidence?
An example of "Sahih in Chain" being used from Asharis: Assemble is:
> The different usool of hadith then go on to elucidate these matters as well as the types of chains that can be accepted, and many of the differences in practices and creed between the schools of Islam depend on which hadiths they do and do not accept.
>
> This is already a huge problem for Ahl al Hadith – since they would like to decide the authenticity of a narration by it’s chain of transmission alone, regardless of the content of the actual narration. **If, when they tell you a hadith is ‘Sahih’, you ask them ‘Sahih in chain (isnad) or content (matn) or both?’, they will react with anger and confusion, as for them, the content is not even secondary: the chain is king.**
