In Surah Al-Waqiah people are divided into three categories: *Quran 56:7-56:14:* >وَكُنتُمْ أَزْوَاجًا ثَلَاثَةً > > And ye shall be sorted out into three classes: > > فَأَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ > > Then (there will be) the Companions of the Right Hand;- What will be the Companions of the Right Hand? > > وَأَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ مَا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ > And the Companions of the Left Hand,- what will be the Companions of the Left Hand? > > > وَالسَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ > > And those **Foremost** (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). > > > أُولَٰئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ > > These will be those Nearest to Allah: > > > > فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ > > In Gardens of Bliss: > > > > ثُلَّةٌ مِّنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ > > A number of people from those of old, > > > وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنَ الْآخِرِينَ > > And a few from those of **later times**. As far as I know, *later times* means after the Prophet was sent. So, who are these "foremost" and why they are few in later times?

I previously submitted a ḥadīth written as: “My followers will not support an error.” I am not sure whether this wording is correct. Please provide the correct and authentic wording of this ḥadīth if what I submitted is inaccurate, along with its source if possible.

There are some divine laws which are decreed, and I don’t like them because, I can’t do things I liked. I have told about this to my Christian mother, and she told me that this means that I rise up against God if I don’t like some divine laws. I have also asked my Muslim father regarding this, and he said that it is not an act of disbelief to dislike some divine laws. And another Muslim told me 99% correct as my mother told me. What confuses me is that, both they differently then one another, and I can’t tell who’s right or wrong, and I don’t know if **by disliking some divine laws entails an act of disbelief? Yes or no? If yes, where’s the clear proof?** Because, I’ve told my mother that I don’t have the intention to rise up against God, I’m a nobody to do this. And she insist by telling me that, even though you think that you do not have this intention, still it is an act of disbelief. The reason for disliking some divine laws is because, it makes me feel uncomfortable, and I’m obligated to stay away from doing things I like. Can someone please give me a concrete information regarding this issue? Because, I have this problem for long time. I can’t tell why and how this is definitely an act of disbelief.

‘’'La ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah' is referenced only in weak hadiths and is considered a Bid'ah. So why is it used on the Saudi flag and in mosques instead of 'Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wa Anna Muhammadur Rasulullah'’’

Was Ubayy Ibn Ka'b a part of the Uthmanic committee along with Zayd Ibn Thabit, if so, then what narrations can we refer to?

I have read this with regards to the evil eye here however it seems to explain how to protect yourself from the evil eye. However how does one cure the evil eye once one believes he or she has been affected by it? Is it the same procedure? Secondly from what I vaguely understand a bath is required, can this be any bath or is ghusl with specific intention of purifying ones self from the evil eye required? Does one have to go into the bath with intention of purification or can one take a regular bath and then practise those instructions in the above link (if they are for curing)?

I have heard that traditional dresses are better for so many people. But each culture has it's own version of traditional. I am a convert; I have been told that Pakistani garments are more modest, that Afghani garments are more modest, that Saudi garments are more modest etc etc. But they say it is inappropriate for women to wear things that are in their culture men would wear only, like pants from Pakistani culture (though it is traditional for them, women have only worn pants in the west for under a century). I can not wear thin silks and light cottons in northern Alberta; it seems very non-practical and false of me to wear the garments of other cultures, yet our imam seems to think that more traditional garments are better. I am thinking a petition in our local mosque encouraging Muslim women who are new to Canada to dress warmly instead of freezing in their cultural clothes with a used winter coat collection for those in need; this has nothing to do with showing skin or not wearing hijab. How would I go about convincing those in need to dress for the cold, so they don't get sick or have to suffer?

Asalamualaikum, I have a short question regarding if I could play for a high school team that gets partially sponsored by a bank and fast food restaurants knowing that I personally do not support any of the haram, and that I just would like to play.

This narration is found in Tabaqat Al-Kubra > أخبرنا محمد بن عمر حدثني مسلمة بن عبد الله بن عروة عن زيد بن أبي عتاب عن أبي سلمة بن عبد الرحمن قال اقتحم الناس على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في بيت عائشة ينظرون إليه فقالوا كيف يموت وهو شهيد علينا ونحن شهداء على الناس فيموت ولم يظهر على الناس لا والله ما مات ولكنه رفع كما رفع عيسى بن مريم صلى الله عليه وسلم وليرجعن وتوعدوا من قال إنه مات > > Narrated Abu Salamah bin ‘Abd al-Rahman: The people rushed to the Prophet, may Allah bless him, in the apartment of ‘Aisha to look at him. They said: “How can he die since he is a witness to us and we are witnesses to other people? … No! by Allah! He has not died; but he has been raised as ‘Eisa ibn Maryam was made to ascend and he will return, and they warned those who said that he had died ... ” > > [Tabaqat al-Kubra 2/271](https://al-maktaba.org/book/9351/2582#p1) Is this authentic?

The Qur'an permits Muslim men to marry up to four women. However, Prophet (Sallallahu'alayhiwassalam) was given permission in the Qur'an to marry more than four women in Qur'an 33:50. There are many theories for why this permission was only given to Prophet (Sallallahu'alayhiwassalam). One theory is that he was given this permission to make truce between Muslims and enemies of Muslims. **My main question is: is there any evidence from Hadith or Seerah that this theory holds any water?**

I know there are many Sahih narrations that say that Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu'alaihiwassalam) used to visit his wives equally. However, my question in here is about this particular Hadith with **these particular wordings**. My question is about the following narration:- > Allah's Prophet (Sallallahu'alaihiwassalam) used to divide visits to > his wives equally and say, "O Allah, this is my division concerning > what I possess, so do not blame me concerning what You possess and I > do not." This narration is found in the following Hadith collections:- Bulugh Al-Maram, Book 8, Hadith 104 Mishkat Al-Masabih, 3235 Sunan Abu Dawud, 2134 Jami' At-Tirmidhi, 1140 According to some sources, Hakim and Ibn Hibban graded the version in Bulugh Al-Maram as authentic. However, Imam Tirmidhi has stated that it is Mursal narration due to a missing link in the transmitters of the narration. As far as the version in Mishkat Al-Masabih is concerned, Albani has declared it as *Jayid*. However, I am not sure if Albani is correct in his gradings because Albani has been criticized a lot by Hadith scholars for his gradings. As far as the version in Jami' At-Tirmidhi is concerned, it has been narrated by the following chain of transmitters:- Muhammad bin Yahya bin Abi Umar (Found In Sahih Muslim 2003h, 1341c, etc) Bashr bin al-Sari al-Afwah (Found in Sahih Al-Bukhari 7048 and Sahih Muslim 1452e, 635b, 2351b) Hammad bin Salama (Found in Sahih Muslim 2567b, 2379, etc) The link between Ayoub al-Sakhtiyani and Abu Qilabah can be found in Sahih Al-Bukhari 5517, 5463, Sahih Muslim 110c, and in various places in the Sahihyaen) Abdullah bin Yazid bin Zayd (Found In Sahih Bukhari 5516, 4414, 1159, etc) Aisha bint Abi Bakr (May Allah Be Pleased With Her) is obviously a reliable narrator. So is this narration with these particular wording suitable to quote and is it Sahih (authentic)?

The following Hadith has often been cited by many people to prove that the Jewish Torah has not been corrupted:- He (the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) was given the Torah and he took away the pillow from beneath him and then he put the Torah on it and then he said: “I believe in you [Torah] and in the One Who had sent you down.” (Sunan Abi Dawud 4449) Many people believe that since Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu'alayhiwassalam) said, "I believed in thee and in Him Who revealed thee", this proves that the Torah that was in front of him was not corrupted. This is something contrary to the Muslim claim that the Torah in its present form has been corrupted. **Question: What is the truth behind this narration? Is this narration even authentic? It has been cited in Ibn Kathir's Abridged version of commentary.**
