I have heard from several pious and sincere Muslims I met in my travels who claimed that the Islamic Prophet Muhammad has been prophesied in the Bible. But, unfortunately they could not show me any clear evidence in the Bible. Being a follower of Jesus Christ I have read the Bible several times. However, I have never found once in the Bible about the coming of a prophet called Muhammad. Sometimes I wonder if it is a mere claim or a claim with evidence.

Asalamualikum, Ive had this question for sometime now, but Im too afraid to ask someone in person.
Prop Muhammed is deemed as the best prophet of all time, and that there were times when rock spoke about him, trees moved for him.Where as it is said that Prop Suleman had great control over all the realms , the Jins, the Animals, The Wind, the Sea etc. Didnt prophet Muhammed have the same power over all the realms, if yes then why did you not use them in the wars he fought.
Thanks in Advance.

How to include Father’s first name as daughter’s last name?
Father’s first name is Allah’s name(Abdul Hameed), how to use the same as last name for daughter. For example, we are naming her Maheen. Would that be correct to name Maheen Abdul Hameed or Maheen Hameed.

Popularly, people count the number of letters in chapter 71 as 953. I wrote a python script to count number of letters and words in a given ayah after stripping all the vowel marks and stuff and it counts the letters in chapter 71 as 953, below will be the detailed output of my program for chapter 71. In those images they have reduced letters in verse: 7, 23, 25. They changed count of these words:
1. ءاذانهم - Saying the alif after hamza is just a vowel but then what about the alif after dhaal? remove that as well.
2. ءالهتكم - Same.
3. خطيـٔـتهم - Removed the hamza, only counted kha, tau, ya, ta, ha, ma; but when we read this word we read: khatyii-aatihim i.e. the ya is the long vowel here and the hamza is a consonant if I did it right, we can't remove anything, there has to be 7 letters in this word.
Have they done it the right way or there is no 950 magic in chapter 71?

I have searched about the question and some similar topics in islamweb, islamqa and other questions on this page. According the fatwas and answers I have till now comprehended that-
1) A wife is not obliged to do housework as it is not in the marriage contract. But it is encouraged to do so, if the husband is not able to hire a maid or cook.
2) The wife is obliged to obey the husband in all matter that are not haram and not beyond her capacity.
So, my question is that if a man is able to arrange for a maid but not a cook (financial reasons) can he ask his wife to do the cooking? As even though she is not obliged **by default** to do household works, **she has to obey him** in what is within her capacity and not haram.
Moreover certain hadith also depicts that women used to do that when the husband was not able to afford a servant.
And this hadith states that woman is responsible for the house of her husband -
> Ibn 'Umar reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, "All of you are shepherds and each of you is responsible for his flock. A man is the shepherd of the people of his house and he is responsible. A woman is the shepherd of the house of her husband and she is responsible. Each of you is a shepherd and each is responsible for his flock."
Classed as Sahih (Al Albani).

Assalamu Alaikum,
My name is Amridin, and I am 15 years old. At my school, we have a dance class that all students are required to attend. In this class, we are learning dances where boys have to touch girls’ hands and spin them.
However, as far as I understand (and I might be wrong), touching a woman who is not my relative (non-mahram) is haram in Islam and not allowed. My father says that touching a woman is not bad, and it is allowed as long as I don’t have any bad intentions. He says that since I’m not doing anything sexual, it is okay. According to him, we live in a modern world and we shouldn’t follow the Qur’an too strictly, because it can lead to extremism.
Now I am confused. I want to obey Allah and also respect my father.
Who is right? And what should I do in this situation?

I believe I may have commited blasphemy as purposely and consciously entertaing blasphemous thought and going on to lengths to ponder further on it but I immediately repented and asked forgiveness from Allah Subhanatallah
Though it was intentional and deliberate but I was not able to think properly at the moment it was like i was frozen and just furthering this thought. It was like I was in control and, at the same time I had no control over it. Its hard for me to explain it but it felt like I knew it ot was wrong disgusting and vile and blasphemous but i was not able to control myself to stop thinking about it like I was actively thinking more about it like generating more scenarios in my mind.It did not felt subconscious but it seemed very apparent that I wanted to think about it but then i quickly snapped out of it and in my heart and also my intention was never to commit a blasphemy but i kept on intentionally and deliberately thinking about it.

Assalamu alaikum. I am very ashamed to share my story but I am scared.
A few months ago, I used an Ai app that generates 18+ stories. So I used this app for fun. I used command some prompt and that app generated some incest story. One story was like, (my cousin disguised as my mom and doing erotic things with a boy) Naujubillah!
But at that time, I read that story and made me aroused and ejaculate few times. But I realized what have I done. Now I am feeling very scared that I made a big sin, I think I made same sin as adultery. I am regretting now. I don't know why I was supposed to used this app, I forgotten principles of islam. I crossed my limit. I usually do Salah, Will Allah forgive me if I repent?

Can anyone tell me is there any record or authentic opinion about when this time might be? I have read about the hour of response on Friday, but don't know about the hour of response at every night. Is it the last third of night as Allah(SWT) descends to the last heaven described in another hadith? Or is it referring some different time period of the night?

A’isha said that once when God’s Messenger was with a number of the Emigrants and Helpers a camel came and prostrated itself before him. Thereupon his companions said, “Messenger of God, beasts and trees prostrate themselves before you, but we have most right to do so.” He replied, “Worship your Lord and honour your brother. If I were to order any one to prostrate himself before another, I would order a woman to prostrate herself before her husband; and if he were to order her to convey stones from a yellow mountain to a black one, or from a black mountain to a white one, it would be incumbent on her to do so.”
Ahmad transmitted it.
