Okay, isn't the above hadith totally unscientific?
Because we know that resemblance is actually implemented by DNAs and genes, not due to the fact who has orgasm first.

Why did Jesus (peace be upon him) call Allah "Father"? (Or didn't he really do that?)
If Jesus (peace be upon him) used the term "Father" figuratively for Allah, then why is it impermissible for Muslims to refer to Allah figuratively as "Father"?

I want the science behind these verses how hardship and rest linked our brain?

"Can I perform Ghusl for Janaba and Haid together? Alhamdulillah, I didn't do anything haram or masturbation. However, sometimes when I see couples kissing on social media, I feel weird sensations while in period. At the end of my period, I make Niyyah for Ghusl for both Haid and Janaba, just in case something happened without me knowing, Alhamduillah, or maybe something while sleeping. Is one Ghusl enough? Will my Salah be accepted?

Life about marrying
I'm ashamed to ask this, but my whole life, because of my acne, I haven't been attracted to girls or wanted to be with a woman. I'm asking this because I've really become disillusioned with women. Is it a sin to marry a beautiful transgender woman?

Does using Microsoft reward system halal?it's like they have a search engine as Microsoft bing (or the name slightly vary)so basically we have to do certain task to earn points and they will give us gift cards.those gift cards can be used in many ways I believe.But can I use them to get a game named Minecraft?(This is not a real life currency,they are like gift cards only possible to use on their products).there could be task where they may tell us to see a ad of bad stuff(tho it is said it's restricted and varies by age).It's basically using that search engine instead of google I believe and they reward you by doing certain task.I will try my be best to avoid the bad stuffs if they really come.So is it permissible?

Language of the Qur'an
I want to know how the Arabic language explains this verse Surah Isra verse 1 "Glory be to the One Who took His servant ˹Muḥammad˺ by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque whose surroundings We have blessed, so that We may show him some of Our signs.

I want to know how the Arabic language explains this verse
Surah Isra verse 1
"Glory be to the One Who took His servant ˹Muḥammad˺ by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque whose surroundings We have blessed, so that We may show him some of Our signs. Indeed, He alone is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing."
Initially Allah swt refers to himself in the third person (glory be to the one who-) and then later refers to himself as We (the royal we in English) which switches to first person and then later addresses himself again in the third person saying "he is the all hearing" , Can anyone who speaks arabic explain this because in English it would be odd.
The simplest conclusion would be to assume that in "we may show **him** -" and "indeed **he** is the all hearing" both are referring to same person , can someone explain why this is not the case

How is the universe still expanding if the seven heavens have already been made?
It is known that the earth and heavens have already been made in 6 days. The lowest heaven is our observable universe.

It is known that the earth and heavens have already been made in 6 days. The lowest heaven is our observable universe. In Quran 51:47, it is written “We built the universe with ˹great˺ might, and We are certainly expanding ˹it˺.” So my question is that if the heavens and earth have already been made, how is it that it’s still expanding. Same with earth, as it’s already been made how is it still undergoing changes today? Jazakallah Khair

Can Istikhara be performed after a decision has already been made?
I am engaged but I am not sure if I want to get married to him. I heard that *Istikhara* cannot be preformed after a decision had been made: Is this true? Or can I still perform it and get guidance in making my decision?

In my scenario, a gas station is giving away scratch cards for filling fuel. If you fill for a certain amount, you get a scratch card for free with a chance to win something. You are not charged for the scratch card. In fact, the gas station themselves is losing money by doing this. They are doing this to attract customers to their station. The prices are car shampoo and cash. From my point of view this seems to be halal. What do you think?

I am asking since the art I have made was not created for worship or anything like that, just because I wanted to draw. Please help!! I am stressed since I don't want to be punished severely on the Day of Judgement.

Fiqh and Aqeedah
Concerning Atharis, are the fiqh rulings from Classical Scholars of different Aqeedahs like Maturidi or Ashari, still binding upon them? As in, still authoritative when it comes to Sharia law opinions? In short, does a theological creed automatically invalidate a scholar’s fiqh rulings?

Are meteors really missiles thrown at jinns by angels?
In [Surah Mulk, verse 5][1], Allah says: > وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَابِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَاهَا > رُجُومًا لِلشَّيَاطِينِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ السَّعِيرِ > > And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and > **have made [from] them what is thrown at the d...
In Surah Mulk, verse 5 , Allah says:
> وَلَقَدْ زَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَابِيحَ وَجَعَلْنَاهَا
> رُجُومًا لِلشَّيَاطِينِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لَهُمْ عَذَابَ السَّعِيرِ
>
> And We have certainly beautified the nearest heaven with stars and
> **have made [from] them what is thrown at the devils** and have prepared
> for them the punishment of the Blaze.
How do we understand the highlighted phrase? **Does it refer to meteorites falling to earth?** If yes, since they also fall on other planets, what do we make of their purpose?
According to science, meteoroids come from asteroids *(between Mars & Jupiter)* & comets *(from Oort Cloud )*. ***Is this in conflict with the above verse?***
**Note:**

Muslim prohibition on swearing oath of allegiance to secular power
I have read that a Muslim is prohibited from swearing an oath of allegiance to a secular power, e.g., the government of the United States, by specific language in the Quran. On-line references which I have checked seem to be silent on this issue. Is there a definitive answer?
