Surely if you already believed or were certain you wouldn't need any signs. Like 45:3 says signs for those who believe. 51:20 says signs for those who are sure.

The Qur'an says: > And that We have made every living thing out of water [21:30 ] Aren't jinn *living things*? What are they made of? Isn't it a contradiction with the the following verse? > and the jinn We had created before from flaming fire. [15:27 ]

these two seems like contradictory Hadiths. Is one of them weak or there's a different explanation for this? > In another narration 'Adi bin Hatim (May Allah be pleased with him) reported Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as saying: "**Allah will surely speak with everyone of you without an interpreter.** He (the man) will look at his right side and will see nothing but (the deeds) which he had done before, and he will look to his left side and will see nothing but (the deeds) which he had done before. Then he will look in front of him and will find nothing but Hell-fire facing him. So protect (yourselves) from (Hell) Fire, by giving in charity even half a date; and if he does not finds it, then with a kind word". Source - Riyad as-Salihin, 139 And here it says Allah will not speak to these people > Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "**There are three persons whom Allah will neither talk to nor look at, nor purify from (the sins)**, and they will have a painful punishment. (They are): (1) A man possessed superfluous water on a way and he withheld it from the travelers. (2) a man who gives a pledge of allegiance to a Muslim ruler and gives it only for worldly gains. If the ruler gives him what he wants, he remains obedient to It, otherwise he does not abide by it, and (3) a man bargains with another man after the `Asr prayer and the latter takes a false oath in the Name of Allah) claiming that he has been offered so much for the thing and the former (believes him and) buys it."

I was trying to sleep at night and thinking about something and these came to my mind. There are ayats that talk about life, one ayat if I remember correctly, it says life is a joke and amusement https://quran.com/6/32 . Other ayat talks about life has a purpose and a test to see who is the best in deed https://quran.com/29/2 . My understandings about those 2 ayats : 1. The test should be serious and not a joke or even amusement. Why do these ayats contradict each other ? 2. After reading deeper and understanding the whole context of one ayat https://quran.com/6/32 , of course this world is different if we compare it to the next life. And it is far better for those who are “taqwa” in this world. One of the taqwa definitions can be found on https://quran.com/29/2 which says who believe in one God and will be tested and whoever passes they are “taqwa” which will be granted the better of the next life. If I go with my understanding in this case I can see these two ayats have distinction. If you could share your point of view regarding these two ayats and even share their own understanding I’ll be really grateful. But to focus about this QnA forum I think I’m going to ask about my first understanding here, Why do these two ayats contradict each other ?

In Surah 2:62 it states, > 62 Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] - those [among them] who believed in Allāh and the Last Day and did righteousness - will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve. > > — [Surat al-Baqarah 62](https://legacy.quran.com/2/62) However in 5:72 it says > 72 They have certainly disbelieved who say, "Allāh is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allāh, my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allāh - Allāh has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers. > >— [Surat al-Ma'idah 72](https://legacy.quran.com/5/72) So in the first verse, it says that Christians will go to Heaven, but in the second verse it says that they won't. On top of this, the second verse states that "he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him paradise."

Assalamu alaikum Why contradict comes between two sahih hadiths? Particularly sahih al bukhari 7517 and 3207 contradict about prophet idris stayed on which heaven? Which one is correct?? How authentic Hadith become contradict with each other?? sahih al bukhari 7517 > Idris on the second Heaven > > > > https://sunnah.com/bukhari/97/142 sahih al bukhari 3207 > Then we ascended to the 4th heaven and again the same questions and answers were exchanged as in the previous heavens. There I met Idris > > https://sunnah.com/bukhari/59/18

In this hadith it says It is a stone that can neither bring about benefit nor cause harm, as ‘Umar Al-Farooq may Allah be pleased with him said, and it was proven in the two Saheehs [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. but another hadith says "O Abu abdur-Rahman, why do I only see you touching these two corners?" He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'Touching them erases sins.' And I head him say: 'whoever circumambulates seven times, it is like freeing a slave.'" Reference : Sunan an-Nasa'i 2919 In-book reference : Book 24, Hadith 302 English translation : Vol. 3, Book 24, Hadith 2922 I couldn't find the hadith reference for the first one, but im confused about as if the black stone dont give any benefits nor harm then how come it forgive sins and do other benefits?

>Narrated Abu 'Amir or Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari: > >that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks and the use of **musical instruments, as lawful**. And there will be some people who will stay near the side of a mountain and in the evening their shepherd will come to them with their sheep and ask them for something, but they will say to him, 'Return to us tomorrow.' Allah will destroy them during the night and will let the mountain fall on them, and He will transform the rest of them into monkeys and pigs and they will remain so till the Day of Resurrection. This hadith controdicts this one : >That once Abu Bakr came to her on the day of Id-ul-Fitr or Id ul Adha while the Prophet (ﷺ) was with her and there were two girl singers with her, singing songs of the Ansar about the day of Buath. Abu Bakr said twice. "Musical instrument of Satan!" But the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Leave them Abu Bakr, for every nation has an Id (i.e. festival) and this day is our Id." > >[Source](https://sunnah.com/bukhari:3931) In one hadith prophet Muhammad(PBUH) is saying, "*Leave them Abu Bakr, for every nation has an Id (i.e. festival) and this day is our Id."*, means that he had no problem with music. But in the first hadith he is saying that music is illegal.

There are several hadiths which claims women are inferior in intelligence to that of men. for example: > Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: > > Once Allah's Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o > 'Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, > "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers > of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's > Apostle ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to > your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence > and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by > some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is deficient > in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of > two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the > affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. > Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her > menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the > deficiency in her religion." > Sahih Bukhari 1:6:301 In another hadith: > Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri > > On 'Id ul Fitr or 'Id ul Adha Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) went out to > the Musalla. After finishing the prayer, he delivered the sermon and > ordered the people to give alms. He said, "O people! Give alms." Then > he went towards the women and said. "O women! Give alms, for I have > seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-Fire were you (women)." > The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is the reason for it?" He > replied, "O women! You curse frequently, and are ungrateful to your > husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and > religion than you. O women, some of you can lead a cautious wise man > astray." Then he left. And when he reached his house, Zainab, the wife > of Ibn Masud, came and asked permission to enter It was said, "O > Allah's Apostle! It is Zainab." He asked, 'Which Zainab?" The reply > was that she was the wife of Ibn Mas'ub. He said, "Yes, allow her to > enter." And she was admitted. Then she said, "O Prophet of Allah! > Today you ordered people to give alms and I had an ornament and > intended to give it as alms, but Ibn Masud said that he and his > children deserved it more than anybody else." The Prophet replied, > "Ibn Masud had spoken the truth. Your husband and your children had > more right to it than anybody else." > Sahih Bukhari 2:24:541 Similarly, > Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri > > The Prophet said, "Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that > of a man?" The women said, "Yes." He said, "This is because of the > deficiency of a woman's mind." > Sahih Bukhari 3:48:826 I know in pre Islamic Arabia women were deprived of basic needs such as education and other affairs that might have otherwise developed their critical thinking abilities and intelligence and might have made them equally intelligent like men. The same could also be true for even today's world when a woman goes through menstrual cycles, pregnancy etc which could have a negative impact on her brain. However, to render them lesser in religion simply because they cannot pray or fast during menstruation seems unjust. The reasons are simple: They could have been allowed to pray or fast even while menstruating, They did not vote to be pardoned from praying during that period of time. They had no choice in it and this decision was narrated to them by Muhammad pbuh who is not a woman. Similarly, they also did not choose to get periods, they simply inherited it as part of their gender and they are paying the price. Does this mean that a woman doing every 'good deed' she is able to do, and a man doing every 'good deed' they are able to, will result in the man receiving a higher reward from Allah because he was able to do more religious deeds because of no restrictions and the female was able to do less religious deeds because of restrictions put forth upon her beyond her privilege to control? I know I could be wrong, Please explain why and how.

If you define justice as giving everyone what they deserve, then mercy is the opposite of that, either Forgiving them when they could be punished, or "multiplying" their reward. Now if you say someone deserved "mercy", that's justice and not mercy at all because they deserved it. It also can't be that God can be just at sometime and merciful at another, since that would mean he's sometimes unjust. Ditto for some kind of grander scheme of justice involving mercy. Let's not even get into fairness. If god gives mercy whenever he wants and doesn't(which he necessarily can't do for a reason, since if it were reasonable it would be called justice) then that means different people are punished differently for the same crime !

If, in the beginning, there was nothing but God, how could God have created anything, unless God created it from himself? And if God did make creation from himself, wouldn’t that violate the oneness and unity of God by dividing God between Creator and creation?

In this verse it says (Ad-Duha 93:1–11) Prophet muhammad Pbuh still needs Allah swt but why did allah swt say he made him indepedent?

In Sahih Al Bukhari there are three ahadith that follow one another. Each of them states a different number of times that ablution should be performed as follows: **Volume 1, Book 4, Number 159** >The Prophet performed ablution by washing the body parts only once. **Volume 1, Book 4, Number 160** >The Prophet performed ablution by washing the body parts twice. **Volume 1, Book 4, Number 161** >(the slave of 'Uthman) I saw 'Uthman bin 'Affan asking for a tumbler of water (and when it was brought) he poured water over his hands and washed them thrice and then put his right hand in the water container and rinsed his mouth, washed his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out. then he washed his face and forearrlns up to the elbows thrice, passed his wet hands over his head and washed his feet up to the ankles thrice. Then he said, "Allah's Apostle said 'If anyone Performs ablution like that of mine and offers a two-rak'at prayer during which he does not think of anything else (not related to the present prayer) then his past sins will be forgiven.' "... Do these ahadith contradict or is there abrogation here?

in 9 36 quran says there are four sacred months. >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]. In 5 2 Quran refers to the sacred month. > O you who have believed, do not violate the rites of Allah or [the sanctity of] **the sacred month** or [neglect the marking of] the sacrificial animals and garlanding [them] or [violate the safety of] those coming to the Sacred House seeking bounty from their Lord and [His] approval. But when you come out of ihram, then [you may] hunt. And do not let the hatred of a people for having obstructed you from al-Masjid al-Haram lead you to transgress. And cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty. Which one is it?

I've read about the translation in two different language Indonesia and English between these two ayats 78 and 79 in surah Annisa . I found something that I think it is a contradiction, but I'm not sure myself since the Quran is from our Creator and it is impossible to have a single contradiction. From the ayat 78 : > Wherever you may be, death will overtake you, even if you should be > within towers of lofty construction. But if good comes to them, they > say, "This is from Allah "; and if evil befalls them, they say, "This > is from you." **Say, "All [things] are from Allah** ." So what is [the > matter] with those people that they can hardly understand any > statement? from what I understand this ayat told us that every good or evil that comes to us is From Allah. From the ayat 79 : > **What comes to you of good is from Allah , but what comes to you of > evil, [O man], is from yourself**. And We have sent you, [O Muhammad], > to the people as a messenger, and sufficient is Allah as Witness. this ayat from what I understand that Good is from Allah and evil is from our self. and I check on both ayat there are using the same word which is So if I'm not mistaken it is clear that from ayat 78 Good or Evil comes from Allah, but when I comes to ayat 79 Good is from Allah and Evil is From our self? I'm not an expert on this field, but I like to read quran with their translation so I could understand them. may be I got something wrong with this, so please someone with deep understanding explain this two ayat. thank you.

>And as the **Angels** said, "O Maryam, (Mary) surely Allah has elected you and purified you and has elected you over the women of the worlds. > >**Dr. Ghali** 3:42 >Screening herself off from them. Then We sent to her Our **angel**, ˹Gabriel,˺ appearing before her as a man, perfectly formed. > >**Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran** 19:17 In verse 3:42 is mentioned that *angels* talked to Maryam talked (more than one). But in verse 19:17 it is mentioned that *angle* talked to Maryam (one angle). So can you explain this.

I had apostated a while ago because I was ignorant on matters of islam in terms of actual proof that is comes from Allah, so I searched the internet a lot to find proof, and after a long time I cam across hamza tzortis videos and relearned about something called Isnad, and then saw it as strong proof to believe, so now I want to convert back to islam and become muslim, but there are some problems that prevented me form believing even through these proofs. An ignorant female,meanings not qualified to talk about islam the way she does, said that the quran has errors and contradictions, so I told them a very simple thing which is you cant use a seemingly contradictory verse as evidence against islam if you realize that there is a need to interpret verses, very simple. But she just said "or admit its flawed" and I said fro what, if interpretation is necessary then why immediately call the quran flawed and then insult it due to your opinion, she even admitted herself that 'you don't need a scholar to understand islam, you can form your own opinion" why are you insulting islam based off of opinion instead of a verifiable fact? But my problem is in wondering how scholars interpret verses,do they interpret it apologetically, to make sure that it is interpreted in a way that makes it seem free of error or contradiction, o is there an objective way, to interpret the verses, this is what caused me doubt. The quran shows that verses aren't to be interpreted based off of your desires, meaning that there is an objective way to interpret it, but does that apply to all verses , as the quran says some verses meanings are known only to Allah. For example, the female brought up the food of hell as a contradiction, first it said they only eat foul pus, and then it says they only eat dhari and then only zaqqum. Dhari is part of zaqqum, so does that mean that foul pus comes from dhari? SO the question is this: is the quran cleared of contradictions with biased or unbiased interpretations? Now I understand that there will of course be some apologetic interpreters, but the question I have is is purposefully apologetically interpreting verses common amongst most interpreters? Interpreting apologetically can mean things like making sure it aligns with science as well.

Why is there a number difference of angels in these two verses? Is it 1000 or 3000 or 5000 angels (3:124-125 ): >[Remember] when you said to the believers, "Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord should reinforce you with **three thousand angels** sent down? > >Yes, if you remain patient and conscious of Allāh and they [i.e., the enemy] come upon you [attacking] in rage, your Lord will reinforce you with **five thousand angels** having marks [of distinction]." (8:9 ): >[Remember] when you were asking help of your Lord, and He answered you, "Indeed, I will reinforce you with **a thousand from the angels**, following one another." People have interpreted it as a thousand following another thousand* *Update: hadith almost never truly contradicts the Qur'an. So the Ibn Abbas interpretation, if reliable, is valid.

**My problem at understanding is about the completion of favor on believers.** If the favor of ALLAH is completed on believers how can believers now have good things? are those not favor of ALLAH? why? Like how can new believers get new good things if favor of ALLAH on believers was completed long ago? Emphasis mine and I made the part that I want to be answered as bold: > 5:3 Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allāh, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion **and completed My favor upon you** and have approved for you Islām as religion. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful. — Saheeh International
