> Narrated Abu Huraira: The Verse:--"You (true Muslims) are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind." means, the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam. (Sahih Al-Bukhati, Book 60, hadith 80 ) Could anyone provide me with the interpretation of this hadith. What does it mean by "chains on their necks"?

As it is said that as the person dies, the torment in his grave starts so the people who have died much earlier then will their torment be much greater than those people who died recently?

A recent archaeological "discovery", a trove of medieval documents just made available to the West contains a letter, the petition of a wife of a Salik of an Al-Kurani, who has become consumed by life at Kurani's Zawiye, "The Mountain" lodge. Kurani is 'Imam al-musallikin', 'the master of the trainers': Imam Al-Kurani is a master of *Taslik*, initiation of seekers to the mystic path. In her letter the wife begs the prince-magistrate to bring back her husband who has abandoned house, home, her, and their three young children for the mystic path, for life at the mountain lodge. But in her letter the Zawiya is simply referred to repeatedly as "the Mountain" What was the name of Al-Kurani's Lodge and where precisely was it located: on which Mountain 🌋 ?

Salaam everyone! I need some advice on a halal income situation. I work at a game studio where, unfortunately, they use pirated software. I’m just an employee and follow the tasks my employer gives me — I don’t own the company or choose the tools. Now, I’m planning to take an interest-free loan from this company (they’ll deduct it monthly from my salary) to build my own personal PC. On that PC, I plan to create my own independent games using only authentic and legally purchased tools— no piracy, no inappropriate content — fully clean. Once I launch those games and start earning from them, will that income be 100% halal? Or is there a gray area I should be aware of? I’d really appreciate your insights. JazakAllah khair!

> Inni Wajjhatu Wajhiya Lillazi Fataras Samawati Wal Ardha Hanifaun Wa Maa Ana Minal Mushrikeen. Translation: "I have made myself attentive towards Him who has created the earth & sky & I surrendered to Him. I am not one of those who associate something with Him." **Question:** This is done in Hanafi school but I want to know if there's an authentic Hadith. According to this article ["What Is Namaz"](http://www.islamic-web.com/namaz-salat/what-is-prayer/) it is said **before** the Niyyah. I thought the order was Niyyah, Takbeer, opening du'a (there's a few).

or is there something else that is opposite or similar to it... From all the teachings i have received the rule I'd say is Islamic is do what's the best. Basically people change so labelling someone as sinner may make us overlook his/her good parts and overlook their change if it occurs. Please provide hadiths/Quran if possible

Imam Al-Nawawi, in his *Minhaj at-Talibin,* writes: > A person suffering from hunger who finds a corpse, and at the same time eatables not forbidden but belonging to another, should, according to our school, eat the corpse, rather then take the eatables that do not belong to him. This translation is bothersome because it at first appears as though he is speaking about human corpses. Within proper context however, it is clear he is speaking about animal corpses, i.e. carrion. However, this got me thinking about such a situation: in cases of absolute necessity, is it better to eat human corpses than to steal? We know that in cases of necessity, the *haram* becomes *halal.* However, this ruling is confusing, because it is not as though everything that is haram automatically becomes halal; some things become *halal,* and other things stay *haram.* Al-Nawawi makes it clear that eating unlawful food is a lesser sin than stealing property. This seems to prove the existence of a hierarchy of sins, in which eating unlawful food ranks as a better deed than stealing someone’s property. Is there a full hierarchy of sins? If so, where can I find it?

The Qur'an is protected by Allah: > Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian. -- Qur'an 15:9 This does not say the Arabic language is also protected. Consequently, it seems theoretical possible that, over time, the Arabic language could become extinct (see List of Extinct Languages ), or evolve into a language that cannot be used to read the Qur'an. In fact, I've heard that Qur'anic Arabic is already considerably different from day-to-day Arabic. However, it seems odd to have a holy and protected book without the means to read and understand it. This suggests that the Arabic language might also be protected. **Question**: Does Allah also protect the Arabic language?

We were told that the Prophet peace be upon him lived an extremely humble and poor life. He hardly have food at home for the next day. This is what we were told. Now that I have researched, I find that the Prophet could not have been that poor because 1. Quran allowed the Prophet to keep 1/5 of the war booty 2. He had gifted the mount of Fadak to Fatima, which was captured in a battle. 3. He had many wives himself, which would be hardly possible, if he was such a poor man. Each wife lived in a seperate home (AFAIK). Apparently he gave a good amount of Mehr to his wives according to this answer Now I do understand that there were times when the Prophet did not have enough resources, that was in the early and middle time of Islam. But in the last 3 years of his life or so he must have been well off because he was the ruler, he kept the largest part of war booty and People used to send gifts to him which he would accept. My question, In what forms did the Prophet pay Zakat. Did he pay it little over the year or at once at the end of year? If he paid it at one time, does it give the estimate of his wealth? My related question is, why dont we follow the Prophet in Zakat related issue while follow him in every other possible way? Could this be because he never paid Zakat? While searching online, I cam across this similar question . May be one can highlight the authenticity of that answer as well.

New here and was hoping you might be able to help me? I was wondering what "Shaytan" means in Quran 19:44: يَا أَبَتِ لَا تَعْبُدِ الشَّيْطَانَ ۖ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ عَصِيًّا ) I'm so confused. An old post on here said the word used in the Quran is "Shaytans" plural but is translated as "Shaytan"? Another site said Iblis? Muhammad Asad also translates to "shaytans" Would really appreciate help! Is there a way to 100% know if it's specific or general? Thanks in advance

We have a prayer room at work and there i am the only Muslim woman , Am I able to pray earlier before all the men pray? They use it at its designated times and I know it isn’t permissible to pray earlier but in this situation I’m really not sure on what to do. If I go in earlier before all of them and pray is this allowed? Or should I pray my rakat at home for all the prayers I missed? Please advise

Salam alaikum. I have a question. I know that people who have never heard of Islam, or have only heard about it incorrectly, will be put to the test on the Day of Judgment. My question is this: why does a non-Muslim who perhaps received the message of Islam but did not distance himself from his original religion, but who behaved well in this life, go to hell, while instead perhaps a rapist (for example) who has never heard of Islam will be given a second chance? I know that Allah is merciful and does not commit injustice.

What is the universal criteria to separate words in Arabic of Quran? My computer program uses "empty space character" to separate words and count them. Is that "always" correct rule for this? For example is this "va huva" one word or two words in 9:129? وَهُوَ
