Why didn't Islam bring the best out of the people? i.e why didnt Islam make Muslims successful in all the aspects of life?
I get answers like "Look at Golden Age" but isn't Golden age a cause of Greek Philosophy and not Islam? I dont understand why Islam takes credit for it can someone elaborate? What in the religion of Islam would cause such a development? Even if it has caused the Golden age, isn't it just a speck of...
I get answers like "Look at Golden Age" but isn't Golden age a cause of Greek Philosophy and not Islam? I dont understand why Islam takes credit for it can someone elaborate? What in the religion of Islam would cause such a development? Even if it has caused the Golden age, isn't it just a speck of time in a huge 1400 years of timeline where vast majority of time Muslims lived miserably or comparatively worse than Kuffar? Why would God create a Religion when he knows his system of life would make life miserable ? In no way I'm tryna throw shade on Islam, as a revert I am hopeless and Im not finding answers anywhere. I dont find the scholars of Islam as much of a thinkers.

Is it halal to eat meat of dead human being if there is nothing to eat in Islam?

> No, it is not halal to eat the meat of a dead human being in Islam. The consumption of human flesh is strictly prohibited in Islam, regardless of the circumstances. In the Quran, God states that he has created all of the inhabitants of the earth for the purpose of living in peace and harmony, and that no one has the right to take the life of another person or to consume their flesh. The Prophet Muhammad also taught that the taking of a single human life is equivalent to the destruction of all of humanity, and that the punishment for such a grave sin is severe. As such, it is never acceptable to eat the meat of a dead human being, regardless of the circumstances. I have been answered by [ChatGPT](https://chat.openai.com/chat) to the question *"Is it halal to eat meat of dead human being if there is nothing to eat in Islam?"* Do you agree? Why?

**Khalid** Apparently there was an Islamic general called Khalid ibn al-Walid. Britannica encyclopedia > Khālid ibn al-Walīd, byname Sīf, or Sayf, Allāh (Arabic: “Sword of God”), (died 642) **Hero** Apparently Khalid conquered Mecca alongside Muhammad, and then conquered the Arabian peninsula and Iraq, before routing the Byzantine empire in Syria and Palestine. Khalid is regarded as having secured the spread of Islam in a number of provinces. Britannica encyclopedia > Khālid was later converted (627/629) and joined Muhammad in the conquest of Mecca in 629; thereafter he commanded a number of conquests and missions in the Arabian Peninsula. After the death of Muhammad, Khālid recaptured a number of provinces that were breaking away from Islam. He was sent northeastward by the caliph Abū Bakr to invade Iraq, where he conquered Al-Ḥīrah. Crossing the desert, he aided in the conquest of Syria; and, though the new caliph, ʿUmar, formally relieved him of high command (for unknown reasons), Khālid remained the effective leader of the forces facing the Byzantine armies in Syria and Palestine. Routing the Byzantine armies, he surrounded Damascus, which surrendered on Sept. **Question** Is Khalid a celebrated figure in Islam?

Salam, I am wondering if it is prohibited in Sunnah to be Muslim and to live aside of society, even what we consider to be "muslim" countries.. I am speaking about my experience, I do not agree with their way of being muslims as I see alot of contradictions (again, it is my own opinion, and how I feel). Of course there is good people everywhere, but wrong things are taking the lead, I don't want to see/hear/read more about that. The best way to avoid to do Ithm by being angry, crticizing 24/7, being sick (I'm hot blood from north africa, super fast reacting when I see bad things), juging people..for me is to live and cut any contact. Taking into account that I do it from time to time and people find me arrogant. When I say "living" I mean live humans in general, I do not think that "developed countries" are better. Why not to come back to nature ? Is there any texts/hadiths in this ? (isolation, eating from what my hands will grow, praying, being healthy in all senses). I know the Hadith : > عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم : لا يحل لمسلم أن يهجر أخاه فوق ثلاث فمن هجر فوق ثلاث فمات دخل النار But there is technology and I can keep contact with my relatives easily, and they can come to see me anytime they want. Salam

Why do Muslims add "peace be upon him" after names of important people?
In websites, books and TV programs, I frequently hear that people use this phrase. Example: > Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born in 571. What is the meaning and purpose of this?

What "book" is referred to in the phrase "People of the Book"?
[Wikipedia][1] tells me: > In Islam, the Muslim scripture, the Qur'an, is taken to represent the completion of these scriptures, and to synthesize them as God's true, final, and eternal message to humanity. Because the People of the Book recognize the God of Abraham as the one and only god, as do Mu...
Wikipedia tells me: > In Islam, the Muslim scripture, the Qur'an, is taken to represent the completion of these scriptures, and to synthesize them as God's true, final, and eternal message to humanity. Because the People of the Book recognize the God of Abraham as the one and only god, as do Muslims, and they practice revealed faiths based on divine ordinances, tolerance and autonomy is accorded to them in societies governed by sharia (Islamic divine law). That indicates to me that "the book" refers to Qur'an. Therefore Christians and Jews are included under the umbrella of the "People of the Book" only because our sacred books are "pre-echoes" of the Qur'an itself. Given that many Christians reject the idea that the Qur'an completes the scriptures, just as many Jews reject the idea that Jesus completes the Tanakh, wouldn't we be rejecting "the book"? On the other hand, is having an authoritative set of Scriptures from God via His prophets the essence of being a "People of the Book"? The Wikipedia article seems to say that the designation has more to do with worshiping the one, true God of Abraham as being the key determinate.
