Explicit context of warfare for "whom your right hand possesses" in the Quran?
I've recently come across the claim by Quranists that what is commonly translated as "whom your right hand possesses" in the Quran (e.g. [33:50](https://www.quran.com/33/50)) actually refers to oaths and that the Quran itself never contains an explicit context of warfare or prisoners of war.

I've recently come across the claim by Quranists that what is commonly translated as "whom your right hand possesses" in the Quran (e.g. [33:50](https://www.quran.com/33/50)) actually refers to oaths and that the Quran itself never contains an explicit context of warfare or prisoners of war. Not being able to read Arabic, I'm curious whether this is true.
Question: which verses in the Quran explicitly talk about prisoners of war in the context of "whom your right hand possesses", if any?

What was the status of Ibliss before being rejected?
As we know, Ibliss was rejected (Rajeem) by Allah after refusing to prostrate. I wanted to know the status of Ibliss before this event. I have heard many things but do not have the evidence.

As we know, Ibliss was rejected (Rajeem) by Allah after refusing to prostrate. I wanted to know the status of Ibliss before this event. I have heard many things but do not have the evidence. For example, I have heard the following about Ibliss:
- he was a leader and imam of angels;
- he was a guardian of heaven;
- he was given authority over the lower heavens and the earth.
So many question, what the status of Ibliss before being
rajeem?

Assalamu Alaikom,
I enjoy playing flight simulators. I have come to find out that the developer of one of the military flight sims I have been looking to purchase also has military contracts on the side. Meaning they develop specialized, private sims for use by a couple of air forces for training purposes (all non-Muslim, and who have actively been involved in campaigns on Muslim lands).
Does this make it Haram to purchase from said developer? Would there be (indirectly) blood on my hands? Where do we draw the line?
These videos could be relevant to put things into perspective:

If I ask my parents for something and they say yes to it, but they are reluctant in giving it to me and dissapointed about it, am i sinful for doing it, as it is not ihsan? For example, if i want to skip a day of school just for the sake of resting, and they say something like "ok sure, but im dissapointed about it and would prefer if you didnt". I should mention that if i skip school it causes them sadness and distress.

Walking outside?
I live in a super dog-friendly city, there are dogs everywhere! While I totally understand the importance of not letting them lick everything, I can’t help but wonder if I should also be concerned about the fact that we’re constantly walking on spots where dogs have peed?

Wanted to learn about amulet and allah's power?
I heard that hanging an amulet (tabiz) around the neck is considered shirk. My first question is: can you hang an amulet that contains a verse from the Qur’an?

I heard that hanging an amulet (tabiz) around the neck is considered shirk.
My first question is: can you hang an amulet that contains a verse from the Qur’an?
If a person wears an amulet, they believe that Allah will heal them through the amulet — the amulet is their means.
My elder brother says this is wrong: Allah does not need any means to cure an illness.
So when I am in trouble, if I ever need money, Allah gives it to me through people.
Why, then, is there a need for a means in this case?

Fasting On The Forbidden Days
Assalamu Alaikum. I have been fasting for the past 4 days in anticipation for Ramadan but I never realised until now that it is forbidden to fast halfway through Sha’ban. Will I be sinned for doing these fasts and are they invalid? Jazak’Allah Khair.

Could someone explain to me the difference of the importance of memorizing the Quran as opposed to memorizing the hadith?
I've been contemplating whether or not to focus on hadith and at the same time attempting to memorize the Quran. I would like to know the difference of the importance of either of the two. Kind regards

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers in Islam,
Can you please help me understand as to why in Surah Baqarah the verse 149 is repeated again in 150?
> So from wherever you go out [for prayer, O Muhammad] turn your face toward al- Masjid al-Haram, and indeed, it is the truth from your Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what you do. **[Surah Baqarah : 149]**
and
> And from wherever you go out [for prayer], turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] may be, turn your faces toward it in order that the people will not have any argument against you, except for those of them who commit wrong; so fear them not but fear Me. And [it is] so I may complete My favor upon you and that you may be guided.
> **[Surah Baqarah : 150]**
