Okay. Quick question. What is the meaning of this hadeeth :-
"If you disagree with Zaid bin Thabit at any point in the Quran, write it in the dialect of Quraish, **verily the Quran was revealed in their tongue**"
Wasnt the Quran revealed in 7 different dialects at the same time? If so, if the Quran was revealed in the tongue of Quraish, where do the differences in dialects come from?

Assalaam Alykum..in my past I never prayed I rarely read the Quran..but one day I started praying all 5 prayers on time.. I felt close to Allah to the point where I felt like I'm worshipping someone named Allah but isn't the true one...if I'm commiting shirk I want to repent but I don't know how because 1) the one I think I'm worshipping other than Allah is also named Allah so I don't know how to deal with this and how to tell the difference...2) I get a weird feeling when some one does dhikr or when I hear the Quran because something is telling me that "he's only your Lord how do they know about this" and " you are a kafir ..look at these Muslims there actually true Muslims not like you doing shirk" 3) I'm scared to do dhikr because I feel like I worship other than Allah.. I want to repent but I don't know how...please help..

Why does hamzah lose its seat after interrogative prefix?
> أَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ (107:1) > >Have you seen the one who denies the recompense? > وَرَأَيۡتَ ٱلنَّاسَ يَدۡخُلُونَ فِي دِينِ ٱللَّهِ أَفۡوَاجٗا (110:2) > >And you have seen mankind entering into Allah's religion in crowds.

> أَرَءَيۡتَ ٱلَّذِي يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ
(107:1)
>
>Have you seen the one who denies the recompense?
> وَرَأَيۡتَ ٱلنَّاسَ يَدۡخُلُونَ فِي دِينِ ٱللَّهِ أَفۡوَاجٗا
(110:2)
>
>And you have seen mankind entering into Allah's religion in crowds.
In (110:2), the first word is وَرَأَيۡتَ and the hamzah has an alif for a seat.
In (107:1), the first word is أَرَءَيۡتَ but now the corresponding hamzah has no seat - that is, it's drawn directly on the line.
Why is this word written differently in these two ayahs, when it's the same verb, and the exact same tense, voice, person, gender and number? That is, it's second person masculine singular past active, so the conjugation is the same (i.e. the suffix تَ) in both ayahs.

I immediately walked away but now I wanna know do I have to do anything else except repenting? Do I have to apologize to the person? Do they have to do anything?

Were all of the Sahaba infallible?
Were all of the Sahaba capable of committing sins and lying? If they were capable of sinning, could they have committed major sins?

What is the source to these hadiths about the virtues of memorizing the Quran?

AoA.
Having studied in a madrassa some time ago, I've heard the following hadiths about the hifz-e-Qur'an:
1. On the day of judgment, the one who memorizes Qur'an (hafiz) will recite the Qur'an. On each verse, a step (of stairs) will appear before him and he will take the step and go higher. The more he remembers, the higher he goes. The higher he goes, the better darja of jannah he will enter. (i.e. if he remembers whole Qur'an without mistakes, he'll go to jannah al-firdous).
2. On the day of judgment, the one who memorizes Qur'an (hafiz) will have a blank list. He will write names of 10 people in it and those people will be forgiven and entered to jannah without any punishment
3. The one who memorizes Qur'an (hafiz) and then forgets it will be resurrected blind on the day of judgment.
4. The parents of the one who memorizes Qur'an (hafiz) will wear a crown on the day of judgment.
However, I cannot find any reference to these hadiths. Does anybody know if these hadiths are sahih or fabricated? If sahih, can you please give me a link to this hadith on sunnah.com?

> Say, “If I am astray, the loss is only mine. And if I am guided, it is
> ˹only˺ because of what my Lord reveals to me. He is indeed
> All-Hearing, Ever Near.”34:50
Which means: "If I am astray, the loss is only mine"? After all, those who got lost together with the preacher also bear sin:
> Let them bear their burdens in full on the Day of Judgment as well as
> some of the burdens of those they mislead without knowledge. Evil
> indeed is what they will bear!16:25
From tafsir Ibn Qasir (interpretation 16:25):
...Mujahid said, "They will bear burdens, i.e. their sins and the sins of those who obeyed them, and this will not in any way diminish the punishment of those who obeyed them."

Buying pork for someone
Salam alaikum, I had a question in regards to pork.

Salam alaikum, I had a question in regards to pork. Awhile ago I came across a homeless woman and I told her since I don’t give homeless people money I can buy her food instead and as it were we were standing next to a Lidl. I told her she can pick out couple of items and she picked up chicken, potatoes and other items. She also picked up ham and at that time my brain did register that it was haram but I was preoccupied and it didn’t occur to me that I shouldn’t be paying for pork. I think my brain would’ve alerted me to any alcohol but it just dismissed the chicken and ham until I was thinking about it afterwards. So my question is did I bring sin upon myself whilst I was trying to do an act of charity. Would that act even count? Thank you.

However, if the couple don't do a new nikah and continue living together and a month later the husband says "talaaq, talaaq, talaaq" is this talaaq now valid?

Can someone end up leaving Islam through neglect?
Converting to Islam is a simple process: say the [shahada][1] (testimony of faith) and mean it.

Converting to Islam is a simple process: say the shahada (testimony of faith) and mean it. (There's a bit of a debate about witnesses: https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/16920/17163) However, my experience is that there are a lot of requirements for staying within the "folds of Islam", such as not flatly contradicting an Article of Faith .
**Question**: Can someone end up leaving Islam through neglect?
I'm envisioning a hypothetical Muslim, who accepts Allah as the unique God and Muhammad as His Prophet, but simply does nothing regarding their religion, simply never thinking about Islam. Their day-to-day decisions are unaffected by their religion.
If I understand correctly, one can still be a Muslim, yet only uphold the first Pillar of Islam (i.e., faith), which doesn't require any particular action, just belief. I.e., one is still a Muslim even if one does not pray, pay zakat, fast during Ramadan, and perform hajj.

Is making tawbah sufficient for lying when swearing on the Quran?
I swore on the Quran while lying and I'm very regretful of my sin, very. I can not fast 3 days or feed 10 people. Or pay the fee of committing this sin (reasons). I made tawbah and prayed and made more tawbah. Am I still forgiven?

Twelver believe there has been continously a vicegerant on earth from times of adam.
They say 12 imams are for mankind. What about jinnkind?
I have asked twlevers on discord regarding the same and no answer is given by them.
So the question is who's vicegerant for jinns?
The necessity for jinns requiring vicegerant as per twelver logic is from Quran verse 51:56.
> We didn't not create jinn and men except to worship me.
I also have come to conclusion that the population of jinn is more than mankind at any given time based on hadith which says every human has a devil companion.
> His companion (qareen) will say: ‘Our Lord! I did not push him to transgression, (in disbelief, oppression, and evil deeds), but he was himself in error far astray.’
> Allaah will say: ‘Dispute not in front of Me, I had already in advance sent you the threat.
> The Sentence that comes from Me cannot be changed, and I am not unjust to the slaves’”
[Qaaf 50:27-29]
> The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no one among you but a companion from among the jinn has been assigned to him.” They said, “Even you, O Messenger of Allaah?’ He said, “Even me, but Allaah helped me with him and he became Muslim (or: and I am safe from him), so he only enjoins me to do that which is good.”
According to another report, “… There is assigned to him a companion from among the jinn and a companion from among the angels.”

Sometimes my mom or dad say things to me or don't listen to me which hurts my feelings but I don't fight back because we are suppose to respect them.
Today my mom displaced something that was mine so I went to tell her to tell me next time if she wants to move something but she wasn't listening and changed the subject. This made me angry and I returned to my room and told myself 'uff annoying mom' (nobody heard me though). I regret saying that immediately. Will Allah punish me?
Another time my dad keeps laughing at me about how calm I am which makes everyone laugh at me. I always go into my room and cry because it affects my self-esteem. So I said 'ughhh why is dad so immature and stupid!' (nobody heard me). Will Allah punish me?
I don't want to make distance between me and them because I love them. So how do I calm down and not get angry about them? How can I get over anger and sadness when they tell me something that affects me? Do I need to repent everytime I say something bad about them in private? Or do I need to make ghusl? Is there something else I need to do?

Question about Quran [2:30-36]
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكاتُهُ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّٰهِ I was reading Quran's surah 2 ( البقرة, 'al-Baqarah' ) today, when I came upon > وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى جَاعِلٌۭ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ > خَلِيفَةًۭ ۖ قَالُوٓا۟ أَتَجْعَلُ فِي...
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكاتُهُ
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّٰهِ I was reading Quran's surah 2 ( البقرة, 'al-Baqarah' ) today, when I came upon
> وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ إِنِّى جَاعِلٌۭ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ
> خَلِيفَةًۭ ۖ قَالُوٓا۟ أَتَجْعَلُ فِيهَا مَن يُفْسِدُ فِيهَا
> وَيَسْفِكُ ٱلدِّمَآءَ وَنَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَنُقَدِّسُ لَكَ
> ۖ قَالَ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٣٠
Translated to:
> ˹Remember˺ when your Lord said to the angels, “I am going to place a successive ˹human˺ authority
on earth.” They asked ˹Allah˺, “Will You place in it someone who will spread corruption there and
shed blood while we glorify Your praises and proclaim Your holiness?” Allah responded, “I know
what you do not know.
In this verse Allah Almighty (رَبُّكَ) tells the angels (مَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ) that He is going to make a successive authority on earth/land (جَاعِلٌۭ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةًۭ). In-short Allah is going to create humankind which will dwell upon earth.
But in the following verse :
> وَقُلْنَا يَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ ٱسْكُنْ أَنتَ وَزَوْجُكَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ وَكُلَا مِنْهَا رَغَدًا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هَـٰذِهِ
> ٱلشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ٣٥
Translated to :
> We cautioned, “O Adam! Live with your wife in Paradise and eat as freely as you please, but do not approach this tree, or else you will be wrongdoers.
Allah enjoys Adam and his wife a forever life in paradise (يَـٰٓـَٔادَمُ ٱسْكُنْ أَنتَ وَزَوْجُكَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ) which is not earth (ٱلْأَرْضِ).
But Satan/Iblis deceived them so they approached the tree (وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هَـٰذِهِ ٱلشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ) and then by Allah's will they were descended to earth as enemies of each other as humankind move on.
> فَأَزَلَّهُمَا ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ عَنْهَا فَأَخْرَجَهُمَا مِمَّا كَانَا فِيهِ ۖ وَقُلْنَا ٱهْبِطُوا۟ بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّۭ ۖ وَلَكُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّۭ وَمَتَـٰعٌ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ ٣٦
Translated to :
> But Satan deceived them—leading to their fall from the ˹blissful˺ state they were in, and We said, “Descend from the heavens ˹to the earth˺ as enemies to each other. You will find in the earth a residence and provision for your appointed stay.”
My Question :
So here is my question or say thought that Satan deceiving them was a necessity to fulfill Allah original plan which was told to angels referring to (verse 30) and secondly the more serious part " Why did Allah place them in heaven if they were originally planned to be successive authority upon earth? " .
I believe I am not worthy to question Allah's decision but in the Quran Allah says that he only speaks truth.
> قَالَ فَٱلْحَقُّ وَٱلْحَقَّ أَقُولُ ٨٤
I originally planned upon asking this question to my استاد/teacher but he has been sick for several days and is unable to lead Salat/prayer, I kindly request you all to make Du'a for his better health.
