Recently a book was published called "Al-Jami Al-Kamil", it is said that this book contain all of the authentic Sunni Hadith. I also know about a voluminous Shia Hadith book called "Bihar Al-Anwar", but I don't know if this book contain all of the authentic Shia Hadith or not. So, I have two questions:
1: Which Shia books contain all of the authentic Hadith?
2: Which are other Sunni books that contain all of the authentic Hadith?

Correcting Pronunciation Mistakes While Praying
I was praying and during Surah Al-Fatiha, I made a mistake in the recitation of the ayah: "صراط الذين أنعمت عليهم" I accidentally pronounced the "ه" (ha) in "عليهم" (alayhim) as "ح" (ḥa).

I was praying and during Surah Al-Fatiha, I made a mistake in the recitation of the ayah:
"صراط الذين أنعمت عليهم"
I accidentally pronounced the "ه" (ha) in "عليهم" (alayhim) as "ح" (ḥa). I realized this mistake immediately, but I thought it didn't change the meaning, so I continued without correcting it and went on to the next ayah.
Later, I started worrying that maybe I should have corrected it right then and there.
Here are my concerns:
1. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to go back and correct the mistake immediately after I realized it.
2. I didn’t know that I had to correct it within the same rak'ah, because at the time, I thought it wasn’t necessary. I just continued my prayer as usual.
3. I realized the mistake while still in the same rak'ah, but I didn't correct it because I didn’t know that was required. Now I’m not sure if my prayer was valid.
4. Does this mistake, which didn’t change the meaning in my understanding, invalidate my prayer if I didn’t correct it, or is it forgiven because I didn’t know better at the time?
I’m looking for guidance on whether my prayer is valid and what I should do in the future when I realize mistakes in my recitation during prayer.

As salamu aleikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Is it Haram to play a game in which you need to kill the boss and boss drops you a needing item with a certain chance. Or crates that drops items in certain chances too. Is it considered gambling? When buying crates the only thing you lose is in-game money you have gained. When you kill the boss and don't get the item, you lose nothing but time maybe. I heard it's Haram only if you lose money when doing such stuff

Why Allah created people knowing that some of them will end up in hell

What does it tell for the personality of Allah the fact that Allah created a human being knowing that the latter will end up in hell. Allah knew this fact, even before that human was brought to life.
Therefore, my main question is this: Does this fact conflict with the fact that Allah's personality is described as merciful?
Does it make sense in this case to discuss even for justice? Let me elaborate more on my question. If it is known before its birth that a person will not stay in paradise, simply means that that person will not have the capacity to understand God's Existence. It means that the person is not equipped with this capacity by the creator. Following the same logic flow, is it the person's fault that he is not provided with the faculty to understand? Apparently, the logical answer is no. Then, why does the person have to go to hell for smth that is beyond its control?
Does even make sense to state that the person has free will?

Im confused about these verses
Quran 71:15
Do you not consider how Allāh has created seven heavens in layers
Quran 71:16
And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp?
does the word "fihinna" or "فِيهِنَّ" meaning "in them" mean that the sun and moon light up all the 7 heavens
because the heavens are mentioned, then the sun and the moon are mentioned to have light in them (in the heavens)

What does our Prophet mean here! Explanation of the Hadith: Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 53, Al-Adab
The hadith says: > " A group of Jews entered upon the Prophet and said, > "As-Samu-Alaikum." (i.e. death be upon you). I understood it and said, > "Wa-Alaikum As-Samu wal-la'n. (death and the curse of Allah be Upon > you)." Allah's Apostle said "Be calm, O 'Aisha! Allah loves that on, > should be ki...
The hadith says:
> " A group of Jews entered upon the Prophet and said,
> "As-Samu-Alaikum." (i.e. death be upon you). I understood it and said,
> "Wa-Alaikum As-Samu wal-la'n. (death and the curse of Allah be Upon
> you)." Allah's Apostle said "Be calm, O 'Aisha! Allah loves that on,
> should be kind and lenient in all matters." I said, "O Allah's
> Apostle! Haven't you heard what they (the Jews) have said?" Allah's
> Apostle said "I have (already) said (to them) "And upon you ! "
Here when our Prophet (saw) says "And upon you" what does he exactly mean here... just like how the arrogant jews says "Death be upon you" does our Prophet mean the same back at them. If yes, wouldn't it contradict when he said "Be calm, O 'Aisha! Allah loves that on, should be kind and lenient in all matters." If yes, does it question the integrity of the hadith. Please can someone help me understand. Jazakallah

While reading Surah Maryam (AS), I noticed the uniquely high amount of times the name of Allah Ar-Rahman (the Most Merciful) is used. The name Ar-Rahman appears in Surah Maryam 12 times out of a total of 33 times in the Quran.
Doing some quick math, Surah Maryam contains about 1% of the words of the Quran but contains about 36% of the mentions of the name Ar-Rahman.
**What is the significance of this? Have any past or present scholars discussed it?**

What is the most reliable source of Arabic grammar for understanding Quran?
In [this](https://youtu.be/9NsCTWgulSM) video it is claimed that س is for farther away future, but سوف is for more nearer future. But when I search for **س vs سوف** I see the opposite. So, is there a formal resource that can be used as the most authoritative source for Quranic grammar?

According to Qur'an, Allah gave many special favours to Bani Israel.
In what way did he favour them?
What was the reason for this?
How is different from the prophets he sent to the rest of mankind that we don't know the names of?
Also, given the above, why would Muhammad (peace) not be sent to the people Allah had already given so much to given the importance of Muhammad above all prophets?
(Here the Christian claims that Israel was specifically chosen and prepared for the saving work which could then after Jesus be spread to the rest of mankind who never received the call to God. What is Islamic response to this?)

As Quran says that we are in different status, and knowledge in this world by the will of Allah, But does this verse means that anyone can change him to reach anything if he tries?

> Muhammad said, “In heaven, Mary mother of Jesus, will be one of my wives.” al-Suyuti (6/395) (WikiIslam.net )
and
> "The Messenger of God ... said, ‘God married me in paradise to Mary the daughter of 'Imran and to the wife of Pharaoh and the sister of Moses.’" Tabarani
The WikiIslam.net reference for this says: Ibn Kathir, Qisas al-Anbiya [Cairo: Dar al-Kutub, 1968/1388], p. 381- as cited in Aliah Schleifer's Mary The Blessed Virgin of Islam [Fons Vitae; ISBN: 1887752021; July 1, 1998], p. 64;
