I understand our life here is a test, but I don't understand how it's going to be fair for everyone. I will tell you a real-life situation: Tom and tim are twin brothers. Both of them lived a bad life by doing murder theft and all the evil activities until they reach 25 years old and tom died in an accident. I assume by the evil he did in his life he is going to be in hell. Now after tom died tim becomes Muslim and his life is changed. He prayed for mercy and only did good until he died later at the age of 60. So here how their test going to be fair. If somehow tim is going to heaven I am sure tom is going to complain. I know Allah knows what's best and if he lived long what it's going to be, but still he deserve a chance that tim had to be a fair test.

On judgement day, when Allah judges you, is it just between you and Him, or will He expose and judge your sins in front of everyone?

There are legally punishable sins mentioned in Quran. For example adultery. But some hadith claims that the Prophet withheld performing his duty as the leader of his community. > **Sahih Bukhari Volume 008, Book 082, Hadith Number 812 **. Narrated By > Anas bin Malik : While I was with the Prophet a man came and said, "O > Allah's Apostle! I have committed a legally punishable sin; please > inflict the legal punishment on me'.' The Prophet did not ask him what > he had done. Then the time for the prayer became due and the man > offered prayer along with the Prophet , and when the Prophet had > finished his prayer, the man again got up and said, "O Allah's > Apostle! I have committed a legally punishable sin; please inflict the > punishment on me according to Allah's Laws." The Prophet said, > "Haven't you prayed with us?' He said, "Yes." The Prophet said, **"Allah** > **has forgiven your sin."** or said, "...your legally punishable sin." This hadith is problematic. How can the Prophet know that someone's sin is forgiven by Allah? > I am no different from the other messengers, **nor do I know what will > happen to me or to you**. I only follow what is inspired to me. I am no > more than a clear warner. [Quran 46:9 ]

I know from Islamqa that a woman cannot be a judge in an islamic court, they put an exception on majority of Hanafis based on: > This is the view of the Maalikis, Shaafa’is and Hanbalis, and of some of the Hanafis. And something similar by Islamweb as well: > The majority of scholars may Allaah have mercy upon them consider the position of a judge like the position of leadership, and are of the view that it is a condition that such a position be held by a man as stated by Ibn Hajar, may Allaah have mercy on him. On the other hand the Hanafi school of jurisprudence are of the view that it is permissible for this position to be held by a woman but not in matters which entail applying punishment. 1. It seems to me based on these answers that Hanafis might have the majority position of permitting female judges, Can you mention some major Hanafi scholars supporting women as judge? their evidence? 2. Can you tell me the notable scholars (if they exist), from other schools of thought who permit? and some of their evidences? 3. What is Ibn Taymiyyah's position on this issue? My motivation for asking this question is because I have heard Ayesha RA would be consulted for Legal rulings and her understanding of Quran and fatwas is something that would often be taken seriously by sahaba (some similar description here ). In light of her description, it feels hard for me to accept that its unanimously derived that a woman judge is Haram due to reasons of not being protectors over men, less intelligent etc and also due to the absence of an explicit prohibition.

I believe our life is just a test. in a test everyone should've equal chance to make it equitable. I know everyone have different types of test depending on their living condition but some people die very young, some lives long. If there is a bad person who died at young age and another bad person who lives long to become a good person then how this gonna be fair. Also some kids die young who don't get tested as long as someone old to go through all the bad attractions of this world. I know Allah is the only one who can be real judge. even though I'm having this question I'm not questioning Allah I know it's just my limitation so iam seeking help from those have knowledge

So I am just a run of the mill guy who makes a decent living. I don't expect to go to Jannah unless I mend my ways, and Allah forgives me. However, I am kinda confused if I would enjoy Jannah. I love science, research learning new stuff and fixing things around me. I always need something to work on to give me a sense of purpose and fulfillment. If Jannah is perfect then this place doesn't need any fixing or evolution and there's no sense of purpose other than indulging in hedonistic pursuits. I may not be exactly following the Koran/Hadiths but I've a lot of empathy in me. The realization that people are being tortured and burnt in hell would disturb me and Jannah wouldn't be that much fun any more. Does everyone who go to Jannah love being there? People in Jannah are of great moral character, don't they feel distress at what's going on in Jahannam.

A Muslim judging between right and wrong is not the same as Allah’s judgement and both should be kept separate from each other. Allah knows what people think and what their intentions are. We don’t. This is why we follow the rule set out by Prophet Muhammad (SAW): > Narrated By Um Salama : Allah’s Apostle said, “I am only a human > being, and you people (opponents) come to me with your cases; and it > may be that one of you can **present his case eloquently** in a more > convincing way than the other, and **I give my verdict according to > what I hear**. So if ever I judge (by error) and give the right of a > brother to his other (brother) then he (the latter) should not take > it, for I am giving him only a piece of Fire.” (Sahih Bukhari – Book > 089, Hadith Number 281) [Emphasis added] Also Sahaba (RA) also stood against the false beliefs and practices prevalent in their society, which were carried out by their relatives, friends and fellowmen who also claimed to be on Deen-e-Ibrahimi. Due to this modern age of being "politically correct" and a myriad of non judgmental philosophies like Zen, buddhism etc people have absorbed it and are not ready to criticize and condemn the Islamic injustice and wrong that is happening around them. So does not every Muslim has every right to **judge** between right and wrong as long as he does this in the light of the Qur’an and Hadith?

In Christianity, not judging others is major topic I remember from growing up reading the Bible and listening to the Sunday preachers. What does the Quran tell us about not judging other people? What does the Hadith tell us about not judging other people? What about Imans, what do they say? I searched but didnt see anything so maybe this is a duplicate. Thanks

I have a question: - What is the basis for the Islam belief in the World to Come? i asked same question here: https://judaism.stackexchange.com/q/23376/2188

He/she was junub as he was unsure whether he is impure or pure. I just want to know what's the Islamic law or the shariah law behind this. Please give only authentic answers which have evidences and proves from the Qur'an and/or hadith. Jazak Allah hu khair

> Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light. The prophets who submitted [to Allah ] judged by it for the Jews, as did the rabbis and scholars by that with which they were entrusted of the Scripture of Allah, and they were witnesses thereto. So do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a small price. **And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers.** 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.**
> Qur'an 5:44-45 I'm wondering who this applies to specifically. As far as I'm aware, qisas punishment goes through a Sharia court. So, I would expect it's not your average Joe Muslim who is "judging" in this verse, but rather judges or qadi , or people who are qualified to judge in some way. However, this might also be interpreted as meaning a kind of "personal judgment", such as a belief that "a life for a life", etc., is fair and just, as ordained by Allah. **Question**: Does "whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed" only apply to judges (qadi)? I found this tafsir: > ... whoever does not show what the Qur'an has shown nor act according to it: (such are wrong-doers) who harm themselves with punishment.
> Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs This suggests that qisas might be the "tip of the iceberg", referring to judging by all Muslims in all ways. It's not too clear to me, though.

AsSalamOAlaykum to all of you! I want to ask this question as it was coming in my head again and again. It has been a few months before when I learned about it but I don't really get it. I hope that I will get some useful answers. The question is: Will all the Muslims (except the non-Muslims who will go to hell) except Prophets and those buried in Jannat-ul-Maula and Jannat-ul-Baqi as they will go to Paradise without any test, go to hell for a short period of time to wash off all their sins to get pure of sins before entering Paradise and then enter Paradise? Please add some Hadis and Quranic Verses in your answers. Wa Alaikum As Salam

What is Yaumul Qiyamah mentioned in 2:85? Why is it also mentioned in the same verse the term Akhirah?

I'm well aware that in the Islamic history there is a need of 4 witnesses for a rape to be proved. Has that happened before? How? I mean has there ever been a woman who claimed X has raped me and then the prophet said are there witnesses and then 4 witnessed were gathered and then the man got punished? Additionally has there ever been any incident where an alleged rapist got punished regardless of the number of witnesses (e.g. no witnesses were found or there was only 1 witness)? If so when? Why? I'm only interested from the time of the prophet Muhammad until the end of Ali's government

I came across a situation after Friday prayers. I crossed a person and I had the intention of donating to him. But when I dug into my pockets, I found I didn't have any cash with me. I felt bad and walked away. What does the Hadith say about our intention in reference to action? How are we judged in the eyes of Allah swt?

My question is pretty clear, how can mentally ill people be judged by their actions if they are not aware of they are doing? why are them even put on this earth?

It is my understanding that Muslims believe when they die they will be judged by God: their good deeds versus their bad deeds and if their good outweighs their bad they will be with God in paradise. I take that from this passage: > **7:8,9** And the weighing [of deeds] that Day will be the truth. So those whose scales are heavy - it is they who will be the successful. And those whose scales are light - they are the ones who will lose themselves for what injustice they were doing toward Our verses. I'm wondering...**what objective way is there to know if your good deeds outweigh your bad deeds**? Especially considering that God is weighing the deeds we do in hearts and thoughts as well. How can one control their own thoughts even if they are good on the outside? > **4:107,108** And do not argue on behalf of those who deceive themselves. Indeed, Allah loves not one who is a habitually sinful deceiver. **They conceal [their evil intentions and deeds] from the people, but they cannot conceal [them] from Allah** , and He is with them [in His knowledge] when they spend the night in such as He does not accept of speech. And ever is Allah , of what they do, encompassing. Thank you!

When you die, does Allah judge you by last minutes action before you die or overall during your life time? For example: You always pray salaat regular since you were a child and never missed a salaat. Now you are age of 30 - you just committed a major sin such as adultery and passed away after few hours.
