Are the following narrations from Ibn Sa'd authentic please can you clarify? > The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, said: "I like not from worldly life but perfumes and women." (Ibn Sa'd, Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Volume 1, p. 469) > > Aisha said: "The Prophet of Allah, may peace be upon him, liked three worldly objects—perfume, women and food. He obtained two and did not obtain one. He obtained women and perfumes but did not get food." (Ibn Sa'd, Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Volume 1, p. 469) > > Salamah ibn Kuhayl said: "The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, did not obtain anything from worldly objects dearer to him than women and perfumes." (Ibn Sa'd, Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Volume 1, p. 469)

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

I’ve really tried to find the answer to this question especially, I’ve tried online and among friends, but it seems like I get told different things. When I try to find guidance in the Qur’an, I feel like it says both sides, so I’m very confused. I am a Muslim and have always believed in Islam, but right now I’m struggling with questions about how other people may be judged. I’ve been thinking: if I hadn’t been born Muslim, would I have ever actually become one? I don’t know. If I were born in Russia, China, Brazil, or anywhere else, and didn’t believe in Islam but instead believed in Christianity wholeheartedly, would I just be sent to hell? The whole premise of being judged seems unfair then. Who can say I should be judged the same as someone who hasn’t had the same opportunities? If someone truly believes in Christ with all their heart but Islam was never explained to them correctly,( or was, either way they believed what they could) would they just be sent to hell? They honestly believed in what they knew, so how is that fair? It all seems to depend on where a person is born, which feels deeply unjust. I’ve tried researching and asking friends. Some say that if someone knows what Islam is and rejects it, they are a kafir and go to hell. But how is that fair if they honestly believed in what they knew? After all, people believe in what they were taught or born into. I would deeply appreciate it if someone could answer this sincerely. These questions make me think a lot, and I have many more that I’m struggling with.

As a muslim, is it permissible to play a video game which contains a character who has an ability named “lightning god” so long as i avoid using this ability, dislike it, and stay away from it?

A few days ago I made my ghusl and normally went on with my day and prayed. Just now, I took a close look at my nails and noticed that there was a bit of glue, that must have been there from the last time I used glue ( before I made ghusl ). I wonder if that makes my Ghusl invalid, as the whole body has to be wetted for ghusl, but I didn‘t know about the glue until now.

I want to know if there is a Hadith that exists, as per what the title says.

Most people belonging to a faith will do whatever it takes to raise their child to see only their hereditary faith as orthodox (righteous one) and all others as unorthodox. If a person was only manipulated by his/her parents to declare their belonging to the Islamic faith at a tender age at which they were unfit to resist the pressures of cultivation but later, once they maybe reach their teens, they start thinking freely and come to terms that their association with the religion in the past was never genuinely theirs (as opposed to some people who do convert of their own volition), is their act considered apostasy and, as such, subject to the sanctions of leaving Islam?

As-salam aleykoum! I was wondering if it was permissible to use the expression "heaven-sent". I’m French, so I’m not that comfortable with English expressions. Since there is "heaven" in it, I don’t want to take it lightly. I did my researches, and found this definition: "occurring at a very favourable time; very opportune." But again, I don’t want to take it lightly and use such terminologies in inappropriate ways. There’s the word "heaven" in it, so… So I was wondering if it was okay to use this expression, given the definition. **Especially** in a situation in which you say that "you thought something was heaven-sent **but was not**". But… everything comes from Allah Azzawajal?? Would it be impermissible to say that? I’m thinking of it specifically on the linguistic aspect, like, if this expression is allowed to use from an Islamic perspective, given **this precise context**. So yeah… that was my question! Thanks for your replies! Edit: Hey, that makes me think of the expression "a match made in heaven". Any thoughts about it too??

Is Druze dhabihah accepted as halal?

Assalamu’alikum I’ve searching and watch a ton about this topic but still has not reach conclusion,my question is regarding why the Prophet say about female yellow discharged fluid during wet dream HAVING correlation/contribution with the resemblance of the child. As we know from the science, the woman fluid that DISCHARGE/RELEASED during a wet dream in these hadith HAS NO correlation/contribution! And there’s someone who explain well about this matter, but if we look another version of this hadith, the explained point is failed because in another version it just explicitly refer to the fluid that discharged during the wet dream. https://fatwacentre.org/hadith/hadith-and-science-issue-of-yellow-discharge/ In the link above is his explanation that i think served my question well but will failed to be reconciled with the hadith i mentioned below. Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) reports a woman asked the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), “Is any washing necessary for a woman when she has a sexual dream and sees liquid?” He replied, “Yes, when she sees signs of liquid.” Aisha said to her, “may your hands get soiled, (in exclamation)” The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said, “leave her; THE RESEMBLANCE IS BECAUSE OF IT! When the woman’s water dominates the man’s water, the child resembles its maternal ancestry, and when the man’s water dominates the woman’s water, the child resembles its (paternal ancestry).” [Ahmad] “THE RESEMBLANCE IS BECAUSE OF IT!” How to reconcile with current scientific fact? I know that science is not absolute truth, but it can really disapprove of something that’s clearly wrong. Thank you, Jazakallahu khair PS = If the hadith refer to follicular fluid, then it will missing the context of the question. the hadith refer to the discharged water, it's external not internal, in Aisha hadith it clearly say so. Also if somehow it can be pointed to follicular fluid, sadly it has nothing to do with the resemblance itself. I really need help, I don't want to lose my eemaan

Because sometimes when I take off my clothes I find that a little urine has come out without me realising it. Do I have to change my underwear for every prayer? Or i should just put tissue May Allaah reward you with good.

In the past, I bought books that teach how to draw anatomy, hands, faces, etc. Since I no longer will be using them (because I recently learned that drawing animate things is haram), I'm not really sure if selling them is permissible (seeing as the content of the books teaches how to draw animate things). The anatomy stuff isn't explicit in the sense that it details genitalia, though it does obviously have sketches of nude men and woman. That being said, their 'awrah is exposed, even if it isn't depicted in full detail. Just to clarify: these are educational books and clearly not pornography. Similar to how biology textbooks show nude bodies and such organs for teaching purposes. If selling is not permissible, should I donate or simply throw them away?

Do we need to do sujud as sahu for repeating fatiha in salah in order to correct a word or ayah before going to sujud

I had a sex dream last night (there was no penetration but there was other sexual activities). There was no orgasm during the dream and when I woke up, I didn't find anything on my clothes, so basically I didn't ejaculate. My question is, do I have to take a shower(ghusl) even though I didn't ejaculate? Just because I had a dream about something sexual? If I don't take a shower, will that break my fast?
