Assalamualaikum,
Can someone please elaborate on Surah Ankabout ayat 3 .
>But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars.
I have read multiple tafsirs and I am still confused on the wording. If we look at the word by word translation it seems to say that Allah will test people do that he will know. Of course I do know that Allah is all-knowing and he would of course already know but I am confused by the wording of the ayat. May Allah forgive me if I have said something wrong.
Jazakallah Khair

Does the Injil of Isa meet the Quranic challenge?
As an answer to the Quranic challenge "if you are in doubt of what We have revealed to Our Messenger, then produce one chapter like it", an Arabic christian wrote a book called "the true Furqan". Now, on Islam Stack Exchange there is a list of 6 criteria that must be met before any book can be said...
As an answer to the Quranic challenge "if you are in doubt of what We have revealed to Our Messenger, then produce one chapter like it", an Arabic christian wrote a book called "the true Furqan". Now, on Islam Stack Exchange there is a list of 6 criteria that must be met before any book can be said to be possibly answering that challenge. They are: 1-a deep and profound affect on the heart, which moves many to convert on the spot.2-divine revelation of scientific knowledge unknown by man untill much later. 3-perfect historical accuracy.4-an intricate, beautiful ring structure. 5-miraculous revelation which, as to the symbols, wisdom, and text, is ongoing. 6-being the most beautiful book known to man.
I am no expert, but I have been told several times that the Injil of Isa meets each of these standards. Would someone please read the Injil and explain to me whether this is so?

In Suratu Saad (38), ayat 75 Allah is reprimanding Iblees for his refusal to bow down prostrate to Father Adaam (alaihi salaam). Allah says: > “O Iblees!

Anal sex in a marriage
I am having issues. I am not arguing if it's allowed or not, it is just something that I need to clear up. 1.

I am having issues. I am not arguing if it's allowed or not, it is just something that I need to clear up.
1. I keep reading that butt sex is haram because the word tilth is used
in the Quran when saying go on to your wives the way you want to.
But the same ayath is to justify oral sex, even though it doesn't
get you pregnant. And does that mean contraception is not allowed?
2. They say it is not clean, but that's just a matter of opinion, and everyone showers daily, washes them selves, and keeps it clean.
It is safe to assume that people are more hygienic now than ever
before.
3. It is haram because it may harm her. With lube it doesn't hurt at all, and no medical reason for it to be harmful. It only hurts
without proper warm up, and we are commanded to have foreplay so it
shouldn't be an issue at all.
4. Also the hadeeth that forbid it, I read all over that they are weak, and shouldn't be taken into account because they contradict
what the Quran says, go onto your wives how ever you want. (Allah
swa is not shy to say the truth, don't have butt sex with your
wives. And Allah swa will not look at him on the day of judgement
who has butt sex with his wife.)
I don't want to withhold something from my marriage because of opinions.

Can I switch to Hanafi madhab only for ease? Will I need to make up for not correct according to Hanafi madhab prayers?
I have always followed the Shafi'i madhhab. However, now it seems to me that the Hanafi madhhab will mostly be easier for me.

I have always followed the Shafi'i madhhab. However, now it seems to me that the Hanafi madhhab will mostly be easier for me. Can I now follow the Hanafi madhhab only because it seems to me that it is easier? Also, do I need to make up for prayers, ablutions, performed correctly according to the Shafi'i madhhab, but not correctly according to the Hanafi madhhab, for example, if I bled because of a cut, then I did not renew the ablution because I followed the Shafi'i madhhab and did the prayer with such ablution, now if I follow the Hanafi madhhab, do I need to make up all such prayers, after all, in the Hanafi madhhab, if blood flows from the wound, ablution is violated?

Divine punishments of opressing tribes?? All of them even kids?

Well, we have a lot of stories in holy Qur'an about tribes of different prophets who were misguided and oppressor, finally when disappointed of their guidance God sends down a punishment and everyone dies except believers. (E.g. Prophet Noah's tribe)
It doesn't explain but I assume the whole tribe is punished, right? Is that also the case for the kids of the tribe? If yes, how can we explain this?

I have heard that it is better for men and women to observe some items or rulings (Ahkam) in front of the children who are at the age of Tamiz (التمییز). According to my researches, the age of Tamiz is the age of the children who are not in the age of Bolugh (puberty) but are able to realize the difference between good and bad things.
- www.askdin.com
But I did not find any precise number (age) about it. So what is the range of Tamiz age?

Will children who die, go to heaven or they'll go to another place?
Will children who die, go to the Jannah (heaven) or they'll go to another place?

Will children who die, go to the Jannah (heaven) or they'll go to another place?
I have heard that children won't go to the heaven which Mo'menin will go (I mean the children who die before the age of puberty). In truth, they will go to another place which is not as fantastic as Jannah, but on the whole that is a good place and actually that is a better than this world.
- My question is that firstly “is it a fact that they go to another
place"?
- Secondly if so, where is that place and what is its name?
*(**Note**: I am looking for authentic hadith(s) regarding this matter)*

What is the ruling on giving orphans inheritance after our death?
I am aware that Islam encourages looking after the orphans. It also prohibits giving your own lineage in place of their original lineage (through a change in surname). But what is the ruling related to giving them inheritance after our death?

On the Marriageable age Wikipedia page
> In Quran, the "age of marriage" coincides with puberty. Classical Islamic law (Sharia) does not have a marriageable age because there is no minimum age at which puberty can occur. However, many schools of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) set marriageable ages for men and women.
And lists the ages
Male consent Female consent
Hanafi 12 9
I'd like to fact-check these numbers and identify a reliable reference. No inline references are given on the Wikipedia page.
**Question**: Is the minimum marriage age for males 12 and females 9 in the Hanafi fiqh?
The closest reference I found was As-Sayyid Sabiq, *Fiqh us-Sunnah* The Book on Acts of Worship (pdf ) which says:
> Fiqh 1.69: Menstruation ... Most scholars say that its time begins at the age of nine.
This seems to support part of the claim on Wikipedia.
