The first Shaitan (Iblis) knows Allah is real and makes humans and jinns disbelieve in Allah. When we say verses like Ayatul Kursi, the shayateen will go away from our house for a couple of days. If they know why they can't enter our houses when we say verses like Ayatul Kursi, do they know Allah is real? If so why do the choose to not and can they become Muslim jinn?

Assalamu Alaikum. In this world, we enjoy things like sports and games and many other things because of the competition—there’s the excitement of winning and losing, and we find fun in the challenge. My question is about Jannah? Won't things be boring if there is only one outcome of everything ,a WIN..., for jannah is not a place for loses obviously..., but as a wish is it possible to have kind of friendly competitions where we can win or lose, but with no frustration no proud , and all of it just for the joy of it? can we experience the fun of striving and winning in Paradise?

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

There is a story that goes like this: Once the Second Caliph Umar, Omar bin Khattab told the people to not be excessive in mahr (bride price) and not to exceed four hundred dirhams. A woman protested and quoted Verse 4:20 of the Qur'an which says: >But if you want to replace one wife with another and you have given one of them a great amount [in gifts], do not take [back] from it anything. Would you take it in injustice and manifest sin? Caliph Omar immediately retracted his statement, saying that whoever wants to give an exorbitant mahr can give it. What is the authenticity of this hadith?

> To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He creates what he wills. He gives to whom He wills female [children], and He gives to whom He wills males. **Or He makes them [both] males and females**, and He renders whom He wills barren. Indeed, He is Knowing and Competent. -- Qur'an 42:49-50 These ayat came up in my previous question https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/35022/17163 *Question*: Should "Or He makes them [both] males and females" be interpreted as referring to intersex people? It seems plausible that this instead refers to instances of male-female twins.

Is this hadith authentic is it true? Here is my reference... القول في تأويل قوله تعالى : وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى (1) اختلف أهل التأويل في تأويل قوله ( وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى ) فقال بعضهم: عُنِيَ بالنجم: الثُّريا وعُنِي بقوله ( إِذَا هَوَى ) : إذا سقط, قالوا: تأويل الكلام: والثريا إذا سقطت. * ذكر من قال ذلك: حدثني محمد بن عمرو, قال: ثنا أبو عاصم, قال: ثنا عيسى; وحدثني الحارث, قال: ثنا الحسن, قال: ثنا ورقاء جميعا, عن ابن أبي نجيح, عن مجاهد, قوله: ( وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى ) قال: إذا سقطت الثريا مع الفجر. حدثنا ابن حُميد. قال: ثنا مهران, عن سفيان ( وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى ) قال: الثريا، وقال مجاهد: ( وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى ) قال: سقوط الثريا. حدثني محمد بن سعد, قال: ثني أبي, قال: ثني عمي, قال: ثني أبي, عن أبيه, عن ابن عباس, قوله: ( وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى ) قال: إذا انصبّ. وقال آخرون: معنى ذلك: والقرآن إذا نـزل. * ذكر من قال ذلك: حدثني زياد بن عبد الله الحساني أبو الخطاب, قال: ثنا مالك بن &; 22-496 &; سعير, قال: ثنا الأعمش, عن مجاهد, في قوله ( وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى ) قال: القرآن إذا نـزل. حدثنا بشر, قال: ثنا يزيد, قال: ثنا سعيد, عن قتادة ( وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى * مَا ضَلَّ صَاحِبُكُمْ وَمَا غَوَى ) قال: قال عُتبة بن أبي لهب: كفرتُ بربّ النجم, فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " أمَا تَخَافُ أنْ يَأكُلَكَ كَلْبُ اللهِ" قال: فخرج في تجارة إلى اليمن, فبينما هم قد عرَّسوا, إذ سمعَ صوتَ الأسد, فقال لأصحابه إني مأكول, فأحدقوا به, وضرب على أصمخّتهم فناموا, فجاء حتى أخذه, فما سمعوا إلا صوته. حدثنا ابن عبد الأعلى, قال: ثنا محمد بن ثور, قال: ثنا معمر, عن قتادة " أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم تلا( وَالنَّجْمِ إِذَا هَوَى ) فقال ابن لأبي لهب حسبته قال: اسمه عُتبة: كفرت بربّ النجم, فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: " احْذَرْ لا يأكُلكَ كَلْبُ الله "; قال: فضرب هامته. قال: وقال ابن طاوس عن أبيه, أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: " ألا تَخاف أنْ يُسلِّطَ اللهُ عَلَيْك كَلْبَهُ؟" فخرج ابن أبي لهب مع ناس فى سفر حتى إذا كانوا في بعض الطريق سمعوا صوت الأسد. فقال: ما هو إلا يريدني, فاجتمع أصحابه حوله وجعلوه في وسطهم, حتى إذا ناموا جاء الأسد فأخذه من بينهم. وكان بعض أهل المعرفة بكلام العرب من أهل البصرة يقول: عنى بقوله: ( وَالنَّجْمِ ) والنجوم. وقال: ذهب إلى لفظ الواحد, وهو في المعنى الجميع, واستشهد لقوله ذلك بقول راعي الإبل: فَبَـاتَتْ تَعُـدُّ النَّجْـمَ فـي مُسـتَحيرَةٍ سَــريعٌ بِــأيْدي الآكـلِينَ جُمُودُهـا (1) والصواب من القول في ذلك عندي ما قاله مجاهد من أنه عنى بالنجم في هذا الموضع: الثريا, وذلك أن العرب تدعوها النجم, والقول الذي قاله من حكينا عنه من أهل البصرة قول لا نعلم أحدا من أهل التأويل قاله, وإن كان له وجه, فلذلك تركنا القول به. -------------------- الهوامش : (1) البيت لراعي الإبل النميري عبيد بن أيوب ( مجاز القرآن لأبي عبيدة الورقة 230 من المصورة 26059) قال عند قوله تعالى ( والنجم إذا هوى ) : قسم ، والنجم : النجوم ، ذهب إلى لفظ الواحد وهو في معنى الجمع ، قال راعي الإبل : " وباتت تعد النجم ...

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers in Islam, In a scenario where a Muslim has something of his stolen, and another Muslim brother comes along and informs him of the thief and his whereabouts and gives a testimony of him witnessing the robbery which is later proved to be accurate and the theif is caught. In this case, can the owner of the stolen goods reward the brother who helped him, with a portion of that stolen goods as a token of thanks? Is this considered imitating the kufr or unislamic in anyway or can it be understood to be encouraged?

Whenever I dream about something, I start wondering if there is any message or some hidden reasons. I have seen online glossaries of Islamic interpretation of dreams. Can we do that? Can the things we see in dream be interpreted?

If in the beginning there was only god and god is boundless and without end, then this means "nothing" didn't exist. Only finite things have boundaries outside of which that thing ceases to be. Even if we assume that God is separate from his being somehow it would be more like panentheism like god is a pregnant mother. And remember that god can't do logically contradictory things. This problem is talked about in sufism and I think tzimzum of isaac of luria. What is the orthodox Islamic perspective on this, how do the theologians handle this one ?

Is teaching interest based banking system in school allowed for a Muslim teacher?

When someone memorizes the whole Quran they will go to heaven. But I read somewhere that only those who memorize the whole Quran and act upon it will go to heaven. What does act upon it mean? For example does it mean that I should do what the Quran tells me to do (don't gamble or drink alcohol...etc). And does it mean that if I memorize the whole Quran I should share it to the world, for example lead people in prayer? But what if i'm a woman? What can a woman who memorized the Quran do to act upon it?

As-salāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāh wa barakātuh, My name is Leya, and I’m a 13-year-old Muslim girl who follows the Shāfiʿī madhhab. I’m interested in starting a small home-based business as a nail technician, specifically applying acrylic nails. I would only offer this service to non-Muslim women, and I would work privately, one-on-one, in a respectful and professional environment. I would not offer this service to Muslim women out of concern for wudu and purity. I want to make sure that the income I earn is 100% halal, and I am trying to follow my religion carefully. Would this type of work be considered permissible in the Shāfiʿī school of thought? JazakumAllahu khayran for your time and guidance. May Allah reward you for helping young Muslims like me make good choices. Was-salāmu ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāh, Leya

في قوله : يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَين الصّلْب والتّرَائِبِ قال : الترائب : الأضلاع التي أسفل الصلب This roughly translates in English to:(taraib "ترائب") are the ribs that are below the backbone (sulb"صلب"). What does ribs below backbones means? Did any scholars ever explained the meaning of this? Please help me understand? Is this referring last ribs like floating ribs 11 or 12?

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers in Islam, Surah 86 (The Night Comer) says : > 86:5 - So let man observe from what he was created. > > 86:6 - He was created from a fluid, ejected, > > 86:7 - Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs. > > 86:8 - Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able. Is it possible that Verse 86: 6 and 86:7 are actually **two separate** statements and not a continuation of each other? That is, 86:6 speaking of how man is created from fluid ejected, and 86:7 refers to how this fluid which has transformed into a **foetus emerges out** from between the backbones and ribs (Mother's Womb) and not refering to the sperm emerging out from the backbone? - For example on the lines of : Have the students not observed how the Ford car is manufactured? It is manufactured from Molten Iron, Emerging out from the Ford factory. (that is, the molten iron ultimately emerges out from the factory as finished car) Have any of the classical Mufassiroon propagated this kind of an interpretation for these Ayat?
