Will the husband lose his wife if she remarries after his death?
according to authentic hadiths she will be with her last husband. does that mean her previous husband will lose her in jannah? what's the point of forming a relationship and taking the time to be bond then? aren't we supposed to find peace/comfort within our spouses according to the holy quran?

according to authentic hadiths she will be with her last husband. does that mean her previous husband will lose her in jannah? what's the point of forming a relationship and taking the time to be bond then? aren't we supposed to find peace/comfort within our spouses according to the holy quran? So does the man just watch as his wife enters jannah with another man, knowing there's absolutely nothing he can do since he died?

I want to ask a question out of curiosity, it's a matter of the afterlife. In a hadith that I once read, that the Prophet said "death will be brought in the form of a black and white sheep, then the death will be slaughtered between heaven and hell." Well, my question. If death itself no longer exists, do all of Allah's creatures become immortal? Or only the inhabitants of heaven and hell? Sorry if my question is a bit confusing.

Does the soul ever die?
When we die, our bodies die and our rooh/arwah/soul goes to a place known as barzakh. Everything is destined to die, even the Angel of Death. Then Allah will ask if there is anybody alive, and there will be silence. However, at that time won't our souls still be alive?

Does Islam support putting flowers on a grave to reduce punishment?

On inquiry, I was informed that the Prophet (SAW) once put a leaf on the grave to reduce the punishment of that grave's occupant. So my queries are: 1. Does putting leaves/flowers reduce one's pu...

What are the clear proofs from the Islamic corpus that the crucifixion or the death of Jesus never took place?
In the Quran there seems to be only one verse i.e.4:157, that denies the crucifixion of Jesus. Even in that verse the denial is about what some Jews had claimed.

In the Quran there seems to be only one verse i.e.4:157, that denies the crucifixion of Jesus. Even in that verse the denial is about what some Jews had claimed. Even though there are hundreds of thousands of hadiths, none seems to deny categorically what the News Testament teaches about Jesus' crucifixion, death and resurrection. Crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are so central and widespread among various Christian sects early on, including in the seventh century Arabia. Is there any clear evidence that denies the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in the Islamic texts, both in the Quran and Hadiths?

Are only the inhabitants of heaven and hell immortal?
I have a question, is it the case that when death is removed in the afterlife, all beings automatically become immortal? Or only the inhabitants of heaven and hell? Or are other beings who are not residents of heaven and hell also immortal?

A Man who kills 100 people If the angels of mercy and the angels of punishment argued amongst themselves regarding him. Are there 2 angels of death? One is mercy and the other is wrath. Does this suggest that there are 2 angles of death? Malak al-Maut, or the angel of death, is a single entity responsible for solely extracting people's souls in Allah's time. There are two different group angles of assist. They have two distinct roles: mercy and wrath. The Angel of Mercy will make a person have a peaceful and easy death (but it is not guaranteed that they will have a peaceful death); however, if the Angel of Wrath processes the soul, the person will receive punishment and have a hard soul extract (but it is not guaranteed). Is it 2 in 1.

Women not allowed during burial
Why women are not allowed to attend the burial of someone? If a person dies, then he can be a father or brother of a woman, then doesn't she have the right to attend the burial procession?

The problem is far big we don't have job, and all their food is haram and we don't have other options. Should we starve to death or should eat because there is no way to get halal food?

Is it recommended to face Qibla when one is about to die?
My grandfather said that someone (I think his brother) when he was dying he told my grandfather's niece (probably the dying person's daughter) to direct him towards the Qibla.

My grandfather said that someone (I think his brother) when he was dying he told my grandfather's niece (probably the dying person's daughter) to direct him towards the Qibla. Then she directed him towards the Qibla, and he said the Shahada, then he died, may Allah have mercy on him. Saying Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah or the Shahada before dying is very recommended, because: > The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If a person’s last words are Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah, Paradise will be guaranteed for him.” > > Classed as Saheeh (authentic) But what about facing the Qibla? Is there any narration about facing the Qibla? Jazakum Allah khayran

This question is not on the morality of marrying or having intercourse with what we consider today a minor, as I have no issue with that especially when framed historically and geographically, rather my issue is that of the increased maternal mortality for adolescence and children. We are well aware that women also commonly gave birth around that age; > Ash-Shaafa‘i also said: In San‘aa’ I saw a grandmother who was twenty-one years old; she reached puberty at the age of nine and gave birth at the age of ten, and her daughter reached puberty at the age of nine and gave birth at the age of ten. As-Sunan al-Kubra by al-Bayhaqi (1/319) However today, we know that the maternal mortality rate for adolescent and child mothers is up to 2x larger in the case of 16-19 year olds and up to 4x larger in those younger. > mortality rates of children born to mothers aged <16 years, 16–17 years and 18–19 years at first birth were about 2–4 times, 1.5–2 times and 1.2–1.5 times higher, respectively, than among firstborn children of mothers aged 23–25 https://gh.bmj.com/content/7/5/e007681 This study was also conducted in sub-saharan Africa where we know that the age of puberty for women (8-13) is similar to the middle east now and during the prophetﷺ's time. The study also considers absolute mortality decreasing over time but says that the gradient between ages has remained the same so it is not related to past or new medical advances but rather the physical capability of the mother. As such, why was intercourse allowed in consideration of a young person's higher chance of mortality? This is not to argue the morality of the age specifically but rather the effects of child birth on those women - as Allah is all-knowing would he not have banned or suggested coitus interruptus (or any other method) till later in the wife's life? I don't mean that statement as a jab, of course, I was just wondering what the hikmah behind child marriages and young births was considering the risk involved. I've also heard of the average life expectancy argument however as far as I know, it was quite low due to a high infant mortality rate and that once an age threshold was reached, the life expectancy would increase to up to even 50+. Do correct me if I'm wrong though Jzk

Clarification on "Tawaffa"
To the best of my knowledge, whenever Allah or His angels perform tawaffa on someone it only means sleep or death. 25+ times only death: وتوفنا مع الأبرار 3:193 الذين يتوفون منكم 2:234 & 2:240 توفني مسلما وألحقني بالصالحين 12:101 و لكن أعبد الله الذي يتوفاكم 10:104 و منكم من يتوفى 22:5 توفته رسلنا و...

In the case of death he keeps the soul. In the case of sleep he sends it back to the body. So how does tawaffa mean "take [the physical body, implied by most Muslims]" in the context of Jesus (as)? Where else in the Quran is tawaffa used like this? (When Allah is the فاعل and a souled being is the مفعول) Jazakallah
