I'm 15 years old (about to be 16 in a month) and I want to make money online as I don't have time for an actual job during the school year. The problem is websites always want workers at least 18 years old. Is it haram to fake my age to be able to work online? If I do fake my age will the money earned not be halal? The work I intend to do online is simply transcribing audio, adding captions to videos, taking part in surveys and simple freelance work. Anyways thank you to anybody who replies.

Why does Allah not give me hadayah, when I clearly want to get back to him and leave sinful life?

I have prayed multiple times to Allah to forgive me and help me to leave the sins. I promised but broke those promises again and again. I want help from him but don't get the help. I try to leave sins but fall into them again. Then, i feel the instant regret after doing the sins. Then, I pray and the cycle continues. But i am unable to leave these sins forever. What am I missing out? What should I do? Do sins lower the chances of taubah being accepted?

More than three talaqs but in ignorance. Is the marriage valid? Can they remarry?
My father used to believe that if the couple gets back together within iddah, that talaq does not count and he has to give three more talaq to end the marriage.

My father used to believe that if the couple gets back together within iddah, that talaq does not count and he has to give three more talaq to end the marriage. Due to this belief, he gave my mother talaq 5-6times but used to get back together within iddah period. He says he never had an intention to divorce her but always wanted to threaten her to make her follow his conditions. He recently found out that his belief was wrong and that he has given more than three talaqs and the divorce is done. He is now in doubt if he can ask Allah for forgiveness and remarry my mother? Will this marriage be valid? It is matter of life of kids, marriageable age girls and small boys. Both husband and wife really want to remarry and live together.

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. Alhamdulillahi rabbil-'alamin. Was-Salatu was-Salam 'ala Sayyidina wa Azimina, Wa Habibi Qulubina wa Shafii Nufusina, Abul Qasim Muhammad. Wa 'ala Ahli Bayti tayyibina tahireen. ---------- It seems to me that "Amen" is originally not Arabic word. Meybe it was adopted into Arabic from Hebrew? So the question is, **Is "Amen" originally Arabic word?** Or, **was "Amen" originally Arabic word at the time of the Prophet Muhammad SAW?** Wikipedia says it is originally Hebrew word. I hope experts of Arabic language will respond to my inquiry.

AssalamuAlaykum. I'm trying to go into the cosmetology niche with web design. Meaning I create websites for businesses that specialize with cosmetology. Or even cosmetology schools. I know in these websites they show women with their hair and sometimes even awrah because that's what they teach you to do. How to cut hair, do nails, etc. Is it permissible to create websites for these people? The money I get means nothing if Allah doesn't like it.

Why is [worthy of worship] inserted into the Quran's statements that there is no God but Allah?
I am not Muslim, so please excuse me if I am mistaken on any of these points.

I am not Muslim, so please excuse me if I am mistaken on any of these points. I have been reading an English translation of the Quran (I believe it is called 'the clear Quran'), and many times I have read the phrase "There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Allah" and variations on it. My understanding is that the brackets around 'worthy of worship' mean it was not directly translated from the Arabic, but an added phrase included to capture the intended meaning. This addition, at least on its face, profoundly changes the meaning of the statement, so it seems a very important inclusion. What is the purpose or meaning of this phrase in context, and is it widely agreed upon among scholars that it is appropriate to include this qualifier?

Assalamualaikum, on behalf of one of my friends I am asking the question. She is unmarried ( never ever was married,) and unfortunately has Committed fornication with a married man.Now what will be her punishment to cleanse the sin? As hadith says, If an unmarried woman and an unmarried man commit fornication they will receive 100 lashes and if a married woman and a married man commit fornication they will be lashed 100 time and stonned to death.Here in the case,the woman is unmarried and the man is married, what will be punishment specifically for both of them? As hadith didn’t clearly describe this kind of act be done. ( by an unmarried woman and a married man). Will the woman also be stonned to death because committing it with a married man? Or she will just receive 100 lashes?

**Types of sexual relationships,** 1. Sexual relationship between unmarried male and female. 2. Sexual relationship between a married male and an unmarried female. 3.

(Add precise Quranic verses) **P.S.** Kindly, keep the body of the answer concise. If you add any reference, adding a hyperlink would be enough. Don't copy-paste Quranic verses.

Why do Muslim women need to cover more than men?
I was talking to a non Muslim and she thought it was objectifying women that they have to cover up and how come the coverage is not equal between the genders? How do we answer this?

Where can I find the tafsir of Avicenna?
Corbin, in his *History of Islamic Philosophy* quotes from the Tafsir of Avicenna, on Surah 113: >I seek refuge in the Lord of Day break (verse 1).

Corbin, in his *History of Islamic Philosophy* quotes from the Tafsir of Avicenna, on Surah 113: >I seek refuge in the Lord of Day break (verse 1). Avicenna writes: >This means: I seek refuge with him who shatters the darkness of non-being with the light of being, and who is the primordial Principle, the Being who is necessary of himself. And this (burst of light), as inhering in his absolute goodness, resides as primal intention in his very ipseity. The first of the beings who emanate from him—the first Intelligence—is its Emanation. Evil does not exist in it, other than that which is occulted beneath the outspreading light of the First Being—the opacity, that is to say, inherent in the quiddity which proceeds from its essence. I'd like to find where this quote is from - either online, or more likely some book.

Is the epsilon truly more fitting of the first letter of the word "Allah" (as pronounced in Arabic) when translated to greek from arabic or would it be an intermediate between alpha and epsilon. Also wouldn't starting with epsilon render the pronunciation of the rest of the word incorrect as in Arabic the second alpha isn't really 'a' it's more of an o giving us an "awe" sound and the L's are pronounced differently and the xhi at the end would become silent.

Does discharge after urinating break Wudu and make my clothes unclean?
Sometimes after you have finished urinating, it may happen that you drip in your pants right after you perform Wudu or before you go for prayer. **So I wonder if it breaks the Wudu; what about the pants, do we have to change them every single time? And what if you are at school and can't get changed...

Is striving for excellence, even in worldly matters, a part of Islam? Does the word ihsaan mean excellence as well?
An AI bot presented to me the following hadith: “Verily, Allah has prescribed excellence in all things. So, when you kill, kill well; when you slaughter, slaughter well. Let each one of you sharpen his knife and spare the animal pain.” (Sahih Muslim 1907) Although I found a completely different hadi...
An AI bot presented to me the following hadith: “Verily, Allah has prescribed excellence in all things. So, when you kill, kill well; when you slaughter, slaughter well. Let each one of you sharpen his knife and spare the animal pain.” (Sahih Muslim 1907) Although I found a completely different hadith on that number at sunnah.com, but when I searched those words on Google, I found the following Sahih Muslim hadith. > Shaddid b. Aus said: > > Two are the things which I remember Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said: > Verily Allah has enjoined goodness to everything; so when you kill, > kill in a good way and when you slaughter, slaughter in a good way. So > every one of you should sharpen his knife, and let the slaughtered > animal die comfortably. > > >حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، > حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ، > عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الأَشْعَثِ، عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ > أَوْسٍ، قَالَ ثِنْتَانِ حَفِظْتُهُمَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله > عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الإِحْسَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ > شَىْءٍ فَإِذَا قَتَلْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الْقِتْلَةَ وَإِذَا ذَبَحْتُمْ > فَأَحْسِنُوا الذَّبْحَ وَلْيُحِدَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَفْرَتَهُ فَلْيُرِحْ > ذَبِيحَتَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ > > >Reference : Sahih Muslim 1955a In-book reference > : Book 34, Hadith 84 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 21, > Hadith 4810 (deprecated numbering scheme) Source: https://sunnah.com/muslim:1955a The confusion is that there appears to be a contradiction. The former appears to say that try our best to do everything we do in the most efficient and effective manner, i.e. striving for excellence (I am talking about worldly matters, e.g. one's job). However, the later appears to talk about showing kindness. Can someone please elaborate on this, especially the word *ihsaan* with examples, to clarify if it really means striving for excellence, even in worldly matters?
