Hello hope you are all well. So I live in adult foster care and I've been here 3 years 2 okay and one terrible. A few months back the staff started screaming at me and calling me names then it escalated into physical violence. Also I have heard with my own ears the staff sit there and speculate or talk bad about the clients. Should I report this behavior to protect myself?

Is it shirk to watch animes that contain shirk? And if it does, can we just skip those parts that contain shirk and watch it. And like the good parts?
I have been obsessed with some character in the anime 'My hero academia' but recently I have figured out that one of the character's 'hero' name has **god** In it.

I have been obsessed with some character in the anime 'My hero academia' but recently I have figured out that one of the character's 'hero' name has **god** In it. So , will the whole anime be shirk to watch for that one character? I figured that out yesterday and I was highly disgusted about the fact they named a character's 'hero name' such thing. Now I even wonder will it be Haram to watch that character or like that character? Cuz he actually has a name **katsuki Bakugo** apart from his hero name **great dynamic explosion god** or whatever. Nowzubillah.

What is the explanation of the duration of 30 months for the gestation and weaning?
Allah the almighty says: > And We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and his gestation and weaning [period] is **thirty months**. ...

Allah the almighty says: > And We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and his gestation and weaning [period] is **thirty months**. ... (46:15 ) and He says also: > Mothers may breastfeed their children two complete years for whoever wishes to complete the nursing [period]. .. (2:233 ) As for the second verse I'd say that it means that the maximum duration which counts as breastfeeding is two lunar years which are 24 months as explained in the Qur'an: > Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the register of Allah [from] the day He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four are sacred. That is the correct religion, so do not wrong yourselves during them. And fight against the disbelievers collectively as they fight against you collectively. And know that Allah is with the righteous [who fear Him]. (9:36 ) which defines the length of a year. I'd like to know how the 30 months duration from the first verse is explained or how it is defined?

Scientific conflicts with respect to Quran

There are often claims (such as those seen here ) of scientific mistakes and inaccuracies in the Qur'an. While I agree that many errors in that list are silly and might just be misinterpretations, some of them are harder to explain; especially those that are astronomical and biological in nature (many of these mistakes are shared with the Bible). Since Islam considers the Qur'an to be *ipsissima verba* of Allah, this suggests that Allah has somehow made mistakes and since Islam (as well as other Abrahamic religions) considers Him to be omnipotent, this can be seen as a serious problem. Where do Muslims stand on this matter? For example, it is well-known in Christian history that the Church outright opposed the Heliocentric model of our solar system up until 1757, despite the scientific evidence to support it. However, even this isn't as weighty as it would be for Islam since the Bible isn't generally considered the literal word of God. So, my question is: If any scientific claims appear incompatible with the Qur'an, are Muslims required to reject them? Or can they accept the idea that the Qur'an itself may have its shortcomings?

Was the Injeel ever written in book form?
Is there any evidence that Isa (a.s.) wrote the Injeel in book form? Because it seems that Allah has already gave him the Injeel when he was a baby. > [Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah .

Is there any evidence that Isa (a.s.) wrote the Injeel in book form? Because it seems that Allah has already gave him the Injeel when he was a baby. > [Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah . He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. > > Quran 19:30 Isa (a.s.) said this as a baby after his mother gave birth to him and took him to her people. So I was thinking that Allah put the revelations in his mind beforehand and the Injeel was never actually written. This whole time the Injeel was just memorized inside Isa's mind. **If the Injeel was actually a written text, don't you think someone would have found it by now?** Instead, people keep finding very old un-canonical gospels written by Isa's disciples. No one ever finds the actual Injeel or what some people call "The Gospel of Jesus". I could be wrong but I think the Injeel was in Isa's mind this whole time....not in actual text.

Why do Muslims believe in prophets after Malachi?

How come Muslims believe in prophets after Malachi since in the Torah it's said that in Yehoshua 23:6: > וַחֲזַקְתֶּם מְאֹד--לִשְׁמֹר וְלַעֲשׂוֹת, אֵת כָּ...
I already have studied the Torah (Old Testament) and I'm now studying the New Testament and The Holy Quran. I have a question regarding prophets. How come Muslims believe in prophets after Malachi since in the Torah it's said that in Yehoshua 23:6: > וַחֲזַקְתֶּם מְאֹד--לִשְׁמֹר וְלַעֲשׂוֹת, אֵת כָּל-הַכָּתוּב בְּסֵפֶר > תּוֹרַת מֹשֶׁה: לְבִלְתִּי סוּר-מִמֶּנּוּ, יָמִין וּשְׂמֹאול > > Be very strong to protect and do everything that is written in Moshe's > Torah. Do not deviate from it to the right or to the left. In Deuteronomy 4:2 : > ... לֹא תֹסִפוּ, עַל-הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם, וְלֹא > תִגְרְעוּ, מִמֶּנּוּ > > Do not add onto what I am commanding to you, and do not detract from > it... Proverbs 30:6 : > אַל-תּוֹסְףְּ עַל-דְּבָרָיו: פֶּן-יוֹכִיחַ בְּךָ וְנִכְזָבְתָּ > > Do not add onto [God's] words, lest he test you and you be found to be > a liar. Rambam writes in his Mishneh Torah about it : > לפיכך אם יעמוד איש בין מן האומות בין מישראל ויעשה אות ומופת ויאמר שה' > שלחו להוסיף מצוה או לגרוע מצוה או לפרש במצוה מן המצות פירוש שלא שמענו > ממשה או שאמר שאותן המצות שנצטוו בהן ישראל אינן לעולם ולדורי דורות אלא > מצות לפי זמן היו הרי זה נביא שקר שהרי בא להכחיש נבואתו של משה ומיתתו > בחנק על שהזיד לדבר בשם ה' אשר לא צוהו > > Therefore, if a person will arise, whether Jew or gentile, and perform > a sign or wonder and say that God sent him to: > > a) add a mitzvah, > > b) withdraw a mitzvah > > c) explain a mitzvah in a manner which differs from the tradition > received from Moses, or > > d) if he says that the mitzvot commanded to the Jews are not forever, > but rather were given for a limited time, > > he is a false prophet. He comes to deny the prophecy of Moses and > should be executed by strangulation, because he dared to make > statements in God's name which God never made. All these sources, from original holy scripture but also from commentaries express that nothing may be added or subtracted from the Torah. Even someone who claims to be a prophet may never do so, and to attempt to do so will show him to be a false prophet. So how come Muslims believe in the Torah/Old Testament but also believe in prophets such as Jesus (pbuh) and Muhammad (pbuh)? Thank you for your help and guidance.
