Is this hadith authentic?
There is a hadith about Umm Hani approaching the Prophet (ﷺ), and she asked him for a good deed that she could do because she had become old and weak.

There is a hadith about Umm Hani approaching the Prophet (ﷺ), and she asked him for a good deed that she could do because she had become old and weak. The Prophet (ﷺ) said that if she said Subhanallah 100x, it would be equivalent to freeing 100 slaves from the children of Ismail, and if she said Alhamdullilah 100x, it would be equivalent to sending 100 horses to battle in the way of Allah for jihad, and if she said Allahuakbar 100x, it would be as if you dressed 100 camels to get sacraficed in Hajj.
I can't find much information about the validity of this hadith online, so does anybody know if it is authentic or not?

So I was just wondering (as a muslim myself), is it haram for a female to be bisexual or lesbian (same with a guy but gay) if they don't have the intentions to date/marry anyone or think about / preform sexual acts? I saw this post that it isn't haram if you still pray, don't do any sexual performances and don't date the same gender.

Does کَوکَب mean star or planet in the holy Quran?
In [this][1] Iranian website it is stated that the word کَوکَب means star in the holy Quran: > (فَلَمَّا جَنَّ عَلَیْهِ اللَّیْلُ رَای کَوْکَباً) «چون شب او را فرا گرفت ستارهای دید.» Surat al-An'am, verse 6. Translation of the Persian translation (pardon me please if a little incorrect)...
In this Iranian website it is stated that the word کَوکَب means star in the holy Quran:
> (فَلَمَّا جَنَّ عَلَیْهِ اللَّیْلُ رَای کَوْکَباً) «چون شب او را فرا گرفت ستارهای دید.» Surat al-An'am, verse 6.
Translation of the Persian translation (pardon me please if a little incorrect): When the night cast on him, he saw a star.
But doesn't star translate to نَجم and اَختَر in Arabic? We have also verses that contain نَجم with the meaning of star:
> (وَ النَّجْمِ اِذا هَوی) قسم به ستاره آن زمان که فرود می آید (Swear to star, when it comes down) Surat al-Najm, verse 1.
I also searched for مِرّیخ in Arabic Wikipedia :
> المِرِّيخ أو الكوكب الأحمر هو الكوكب الرابع من حيث البعد عن الشمس في النظام الشمسي...
Ttanslation: Mars or the red planet is the fourth planet in the aspect of distance from the Sun in the solar system...
کَوکَب clearly means planet here.
I am confused. Does کَوکَب mean star or planet in the holy Quran? Maybe it meant star at the time of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H)?
But there is also a Quran verse (in the surah al-Yusuf) that کَوکَب sounds planet to me in!
> اِذ قالَ یوسُفُ لِأبیهِ یا اَبَتی إنّی رَأیتُ اَحَدَ عَشَرَ کَوکَبا وَالشَّمسَ وَالقَمَرَ رَأیتُهُم لی ساجِدین
Translation: When Joseph told his father: "oh father, I saw (in my dream) that eleven planets(?) and the Sun and the Moon were bowing down to me".
I can't think کَوکَب means star here! Because the Sun is a star itself and also, it's always the planets that come after the Sun. The verse also calls the Moon.

Cryptocurrency - Synthetic Futures - Leveraged Tokens - Halal or Haram?

Assalamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
My friend and I are planning to invest in cryptocurrency leveraged tokens, specifically BTC, ETH, and Solana, using a DeFi platform called TLX. You can find more information on their website . However, we are uncertain whether this investment is halal or haram.
We have conducted thorough research on the leveraged tokens available on the TLX platform through various sources, including official documentation, ChatGPT, and Islamic finance forums. Our findings suggest that these tokens do not involve riba (compounding interest), unlike those offered by other DeFi platforms such as Toros . Toros creates leverage by borrowing additional assets, resulting in leverage token owners paying interest on the borrowed amount, which is haram. We are avoiding the Toros platform for this reason.
On the other hand, TLX leveraged tokens derive their leverage through synthetic futures from the Synthetix platform, rather than through borrowing or lending (as it is the case with Toros). Synthetic futures mimic the behavior of traditional futures without necessitating ownership of the underlying asset. They are constructed using financial instruments like options or swaps to replicate the price movements and payoff structures of conventional futures contracts.
Unlike traditional futures that require funding fees to align with the spot market, synthetic futures eliminate this need due to their specific expiration dates and settlement terms. This distinction is crucial, as it addresses any potential concerns about the permissibility of funding fees under Islamic law.
Regarding the fee structure of the TLX platform:
- Streaming Fee: The 2% streaming fee covers the costs related to maintaining the leveraged token. Since it is not tied to riba, it appears permissible.
- Rebalancing Fee: Currently set to zero, this fee may be introduced to cover actual rebalancing costs in the future. As it is designed to cover costs rather than generate profit through interest, it seems permissible.
- Redemption Fee: This fee compensates for the service of redeeming the leveraged token, making it a service-based fee rather than interest, and thus permissible.
As far as we know, generally, service-based fees are acceptable in Islamic finance if they are transparent and justified by the provided services. Based on our research, the fees associated with TLX leveraged tokens are clearly defined and service-oriented. There is no compounding or standard interest, and no requirement for staking assets, indicating no involvement with interest-based profit generation.
In summary, the fee structure appears well-aligned with Shariah law. Fahim and I believe this is pointing in a good direction, though we seek your expert opinion to conclude our findings.
**With the provided information, do you consider the leveraged tokens on TLX to be permissible under Islamic principles?**
Thank you for your time and guidance.

In this lecture, Shaykh Assim al-Hakeem refers to books by scholars of ʿaqīdah that discuss the Name “Allah” in depth — not just linguistically, but to build awe and glorification (taʿẓīm) in the believer’s heart. Unfortunately, he doesn’t mention the specific titles.
**I am looking for books** that attempt to write about Allah’s greatness, majesty, and countless blessings — works that describe Him as our Rabb (Lord), Ar-Razzāq (The Provider), Al-Khāliq (The Creator), Al-Malik (The Sovereign), and beyond — covering all His names, attributes, and aspects of His greatness, and showing how all of these relate to us.
I am not looking for books on fiqh or sharīʿah rulings, but rather works that focus solely on Allah Himself — His Being, His names and attributes, His signs, His might, His mercy, and all aspects of His greatness.

1.) Lately, I have been having a psychological crisis. Does Allah want me to go to Jannah? I go to the masjid for young adults and these sexist boys whom I grown up with. (Their parents are close friends with my parents.) They bully me and they are discouraging me. I overheard them saying they are praying to Allah so I will not go to Jannah because I do not deserve to go because I am selfish? I once said I want to go to the highest Jannah. They heard and said it was selfish of me. They said I do not deserve to go. You know the hadith "none of you is a believer till you love your brother what you love for yourself." I told them that hadith and their response was was that the hadith applies for muslim men to help each other and not muslim men to want the muslim women as they want for themselves-whether mahram or not- i got discouraged and been feeling guilty. I earlier said that I do not want to Jannah because I felt unworthy. I still do. But I feel I am too selfish and greedy to want the best for myself. I want good people to go to Jannah but not myself anymore. I do not want to go to hell either because of the pain. But not heaven because I do not deserve it because I am greedy to want not only Jannah but Jannah furdouse.
2.) Is it sinful for me to not want Jannah? Is it sinful for me to give up on myself? I know Allah will forgive me but I feel that I do not deserve it and If I want Jannah then I am greedy. Rigbt now, I want to go to Jannah again but I feel unworthy and guilty.

I have previously worked on a website where different car dealerships in the US provide their call recordings. my role was to review call quality in the websites and categorizing intent, not selling cars. In addition to dealerships, dentists and other companies also provide recordings. Through these recordings, the company evaluates whether the call center representatives performed their duties properly, and whether the customer called to buy a car or to get it serviced (fix or repair). However, when customers inquire about buying a car, they often discuss purchasing it on interest (riba) and talk about financing rates, etc. The owner of this website is not the dealership, but a third party that works for the dealership. Given this, is my income from working on this website halal or not?

However I find this hadith to be very strong in words. If it's just a prefered thing why would the prophet tell us to vomit? And I haven't found anyone really explain this hadith.
> حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ، -

I go to a non-muslim school with barely any muslim boys there, and the majority of them do not take their religion seriously. The school did not allow me to leave at lunch to pray at the mosque. I go to the school prayer room every Friday to pray Jumuah, however, I find myself to be alone there and that none of the other boys have showed up. Due to this, I resort to praying Dhuhr.
Am I required to go around the school and find some boys every Friday and call them to pray with me? I tried this once with another boy, and he said he would come pray Jumuah with me next Friday, but he did not come.
Am I sinful in this situation? I don't know what to do.
