I read surah Al_Kahf when I reached the ayah where the fish alive and made a tunnel in sea for Prophet Musa. Like other miracle is it also a miracle if yes then can anyone replied me through the reference? and in which tafseer it has been discussed scientifically.

Building off of the answers to this question , what are the requirements for a hadith to be considered "sahih"?

Certain websites claim that in a Hadith it is mentioned the following: > Prophet Muhammad declared, "There was a prophet of God in India who is dark in color and his name was Kahan." (History of Hamadan Dailmi Chapter Al-Kaaf) Looking at the above verse, it is highly likely that this is referring to Lord Krishna who is need called ''Kahan'' and is dark-complexioned. The Quran does mention that there have been 1,24,000 prophets send by Allah but there are also high chances of this Hadith being interpolated just like many Puranas are in Hinduism (especially the Bhavishya Purana which seems to mention Prophet Muhammad and many Biblical characters). So is the above Hadith a ''sahih'' Hadith or is it also interpolated like the Bhavishya Purana in Hinduism?

The hadith (Sahih al-Bukhari ): > The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When the people of Paradise will enter Paradise and the people of Hell will go to Hell, Allah will order those who have had faith equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed to be taken out from Hell. So they will be taken out but (by then) they will be blackened (charred). Then they will be put in the river of Haya' (rain) or Hayat (life) (the Narrator is in doubt as to which is the right term), and they will revive like a grain that grows near the bank of a flood channel. Don't you see that it comes out yellow and twisted" I kinda dont understand it what is Allah describing?

Assalamu walaikum,I've been searching for a answer for my question,Due to laziness i failed to pray 3 prayers (yesterday 2, today's 1) ,so i want to pray the Isha prayer,but the thing is, I'm confused,cause,I also had many qada prayer from before(I made a list of which day and which prayer I didn't prayed),so if i pray isha, should i pray the missed 3 prayers first ,or can i add this 3 prayers to my qada prayers list and then pray at a comfortable schedule

I’m going to answer my own question because there aren’t any posts, in fairness, that talk about this topic in the English language. This is something I wish my younger self could have read. ***But the question pertains to the definition of the word “kuba” or ”kubah” (كوبة) and does it relate to the topic of music in the religion of sunni Islam?*** > Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: > > عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو،أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ وَالْكُوبَةِ وَالْغُبَيْرَاءِ وَقَال"‏ كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ ابْنُ سَلاَمٍ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ الْغُبَيْرَاءُ السُّكُرْكَةُ تُعْمَلُ مِنَ الذُّرَةِ شَرَابٌ يَعْمَلُهُ الْحَبَشَةُ ‏. > >The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade wine (khamr), game of chance (maysir), drum (kubah), and wine made from millet (ghubayrah), saying: Every intoxicant is forbidden. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Sallam Abu 'Ubaid said: Ghubairah was an intoxicant liquor made from millet. This wine was made by the Abyssinians Abu Dawood 3685: Book 26, Hadith 3677 as well as > Narrated Ibn Abbas: > >عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ، قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِيمَ نَشْرَبُ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ تَشْرَبُوا فِي الدُّبَّاءِ وَلاَ فِي الْمُزَفَّتِ وَلاَ فِي النَّقِيرِ وَانْتَبِذُوا فِي الأَسْقِيَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنِ اشْتَدَّ فِي الأَسْقِيَةِ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَصُبُّوا عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ ‏"‏ أَهْرِيقُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَىَّ أَوْ حُرِّمَ الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالْكُوبَةُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَكُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَسَأَلْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ بَذِيمَةَ عَنِ الْكُوبَةِ قَالَ الطَّبْلُ ‏.‏ > >The deputation of ‘Abd al-Qais asked (the prophet):From which(vessels)should we drink ? He (the prophet) replied: Do not drink from the pumpkins, vessels smeared with pitch, and hollow stumps , and steep dates in skins. They asked: Messenger of Allah, if it ferments? He replied: infuse water in it. They asked: Messenger of Allah...” (repeating the same words). He replied to them third or fourth time: Pour it away. He then said: Allah has forbidden me, or he said: He has forbidden me wine, game of chance and kubah(drums). He said: Every intoxicant is unlawful. Sufyan said: I asked ‘All b. Badhimah about kubah . He replied: Drum. Abu Dawood 3696: Book 26, Hadith 3687 *side note, (الدُّبَّاءِ) *dubba'e* is not a pumpkin per-se but more precisely calabash or long melon because pumpkins were not discovered until Columbus in the 15th century. A bit of an anachronism since the hadith takes place 1,400 years ago.

I'm just wondering because I read someone saying there is a Hadith saying that the Prophet (p.b.u.h) did not accept the cross.

Recently I have been wondering regarding something that I've been hearing since childhood. when we stand in the congregation for the obligatory prayer making the lines, the imam says in arabic a few phrases. i can make out that what he says is to make the lines in accordance with the sunnah (*our mother tongue is not arabic*) my question is that is it a must to say that in arabic everytime before we start the prayer?, or is it sunnah?, or are they doing it just to remind us to make the lines straight as its kind of like the responsibility of the imam.

Collection Sahih Bukhari Dar-us-Salam reference Hadith 3200 In-book reference Book 59, Hadith 11 USC-MSA web (English) reference Volume 4, Book 54, Hadith 422 Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The sun and the moon will be folded up (deprived of their light) on the Day of Resurrection." This hadith says the sun and moon will be folded and the explanations say Takwir means folding a turban or garment. this will cause it to lose its light. if the sun and moon are spheres then how can it be folded. does this mean sun and moon are flat disks? is there anything to prove against it being flat? The quran is surah Takwir also says the sun will be folded

We know that bilqis accepted Islam after she met prophet suleiman. Do we have information on bilqis continuing as queen after acceptance of Islam? > No people who appoint a woman as their leader will ever prosper.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 13/53)

> And if a man's discharge proceeded that of the woman, then the child > resembles the father, and if the woman's discharge proceeded that of > the man, then the child resembles the mother." Okay, isn't the above hadith totally unscientific? Because we know that resemblance is actually implemented by DNAs and genes, not due to the fact who has orgasm first.

Assalamu Aleikum, I'd like to ask what our prophet meant when he said, **"There are 500 years of distance between each heaven."** I mean, is this '500 years' by walking/marching? I have read some of your fatwas and some tasfers, and it said that 500 years by marching, but I'd like to learn if this is the words of our Prophet or just an interpretation. Can this '500 years' be by riding, at the speed of light, or other kinds of travel? We know for a fact that our universe is so huge, and 500 years of walking is nothing compared to it. Are there other ways to interpret this hadith? Thank you. Following are some of the traditions taken from as-Suyutis al-Haya as-saniya fi l-haya as-sunniya that mention this > Ibn Rāhūya, in his Musnad, Abū š-Šayh and al-Bazzar, on the basis of a > sound chain of transmission that goes back to Abū Darr, report that > God's messenger (God's blessing and peace be with him!) presented the > following teaching: "The interval between heaven and earth is the > distance of 500 years. The diameter of every heaven is also as much as > 500 years. And the interval between this heaven and the one that comes > after it is also as big as 500 years. Thus up to the seventh heaven, > and with the earths it is similar. And the distance between the > seventh heaven and the throne corresponds to all that." > Ahmad b. Hanbal (may God be pleased with him!), in his Musnad, Abū > Dā'ūd, at-Tirmidī, who declares it to be of good quality, Ibn Māğa, > Ibn Abi Aşamm, in his Sunna, Abū Yaʻlā, Ibn Huzayma, at-Tabarānī, al- > Hakim, and giving it a sound derivation Abū š-Šayh have the following > tradition from al-'Abbas b. "Abd al-Muttalib: "We were with the > Prophet (God's blessing and peace be with him!) when he said: 'Do you > know what the distance is between heaven and earth?' - We answered: > 'God and His messenger know better!' - He said: 'Between them there is > a distance of 500 years; and from every heaven to another heaven there > is a distance of 500 years. The diameter of every heaven, too, is 500 > years. Above the seventh heaven there is a sea between the surface of > which and the greatest depth the distance is as big as that between > heaven and earth.

Assalamualaikum, I have been having doubts about this issue for a while and if anyone with knowledge can help, i would appreciate. It is said that we can not know how many have passed since Prophet Adam whenever i ask a scholar but there are some sahih hadiths which actually tells us he lived not that long time ago. Hadiths: •The period between Adam and Nooh (peace be upon them both): it was narrated from Abu Umaamah that a man said: “O Messenger of Allah, was Adam a Prophet?” He said, “Yes, and Allah spoke to him.” The man asked, “How much (time) was there between him and Nooh?” He said, “Ten centuries.(qarn)” Narrated by Ibn Hibbaan in his Saheeh, 14/69; and by al-Haakim, 2/262. •The period between Nooh and Ibraaheem (peace be upon them both): our evidence is in the continuation of the hadeeth of Abu Umaamah (may Allah be pleased with him) quoted above: … He said, “And how long was there between Nooh and Ibraaheem?” He said, “Ten centuries.” (Narrated by al-Haakim in al-Mustadrak, 2/288. Now, i know qarn also means generation but even though we understand it that way, it still doesn't reconcile with science. Since we have remains of ancient human communities that date back much longer time ago. We also know from books that Prophet Ibraheem lived 4000 years ago, between him and Nooh there is 10 qarn and between Nooh and Adam there is 10 qarn too. Even if we assume qarn is 10000 years, which i think scientifically impossible, it means Prophet Adam lived 24000 years ago and this still doesn't make sense. I would really appreciate if anyone has an explanation, thank you.

Translation of Quran 5:45 by "Sahih International" trio (Emily Assami, Amatullah Bantley, Mary Kennedy): > And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, > a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for > wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives [up his right as] > charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by > what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the wrongdoers. "for them" - this is about Jews. As i know, this rule also applies to Muslims. (for example, in https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/45944 you can see that). But how do I know that this indeed applies also to Muslims? maybe there are hadith which clearly say that?

According the hadith below prophet Musa A.S is given the ability to talk directly with Allah A.Z.W. > حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَفِظْنَاهُ مِنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ احْتَجَّ آدَمُ وَمُوسَى، فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى يَا آدَمُ أَنْتَ أَبُونَا خَيَّبْتَنَا وَأَخْرَجْتَنَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ‏.‏ قَالَ لَهُ آدَمُ يَا مُوسَى اصْطَفَاكَ اللَّهُ بِكَلاَمِهِ، وَخَطَّ لَكَ بِيَدِهِ، أَتَلُومُنِي عَلَى أَمْرٍ قَدَّرَ اللَّهُ عَلَىَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَنِي بِأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً‏.‏ فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى، فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى ‏"‏ ثَلاَثًا‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِثْلَهُ‏.‏ > > Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Adam and Moses argued with each other. Moses said to Adam. 'O Adam! You are our father who disappointed us and turned us out of Paradise.' Then Adam said to him, 'O Moses! Allah favored you with His talk (talked to you directly) and He wrote (the Torah) for you with His Own Hand. Do you blame me for action which Allah had written in my fate forty years before my creation?' So Adam confuted Moses, Adam confuted Moses," the Prophet (ﷺ) added, repeating the Statement three times. > > - [Sahih al Bukhari 6614](https://sunnah.com/bukhari:6614) Did the Prophet Musa A.S talk with Allah A.Z.W while on earth or by mean of angel-messengers? Also in the story of Mi‘raaj night journey Allah A.Z.W talk directly with Prophet S.A.W. While on earth, does Prophet S.A.W talk with Allah A.Z.W directly or by mean of angel-messengers?

Salam. I am very sleepy. I prayed zuhr, made sajda sahw since i forgot what rakat i was on, then started reciting tashahud (maybe 3 or 4 words before I remembered that I was suppose to end the prayer) and then immediately made salam when I remember Did I do the right thing? I follow the salafi medhab

As per this hadith; > Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The > poor Muslims are admitted into Paradise before their rich by half a > day. And that is five hundred years." > > Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2354 https://sunnah.com/tirmidhi:2354 How to interpret this? Why poor Muslims will go to Jannah before rich Muslims?

From the hadith below: - أنَّ ابنَ عمرَ كان يضعُ يدَهُ بيْنَ ثَديَيها ( يعنى الجاريةَ ) وعلى عُجُزِها من فوقِ الثيابِ ويكَشفُ عن ساقِها It tells that Umar[ra] used to shack the breasts of slavegirls in public in market. What is the authenticity of the hadith? Is it permissible?
