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?

In the commentary on his Magnum Opus translation of the Quran, A. Yusuf 'Ali relays Imam Gazali's cosmography of divine Light: > Among the beauties of the Qur’an, not the least is that which sends its mystic interpreters into ecstasies of spiritual delight. While its plain meaning contains noble precepts of ordinary conduct, its mystic passages reveal spiritual mysteries which can only be expressed by the phrase "Light upon Light!" (24. 35). It is an endless chain of illumination in which ordinary knowledge dissolves as if it were ignorance . . . Jibril says: "Kana baini wa bainahu sab'una alfa hijabin min nurin: Between me and Him are seventy thousand veils of Light." > > The highest place among the mystic interpreters should be assigned to Imam Gazali, whose Mishkat-ul-Anwar deals with the verse of Light (24. 35), the contrasted verse of Darkness (24. 40), and the saying of the holy Prophet quoted by him from the Hadith: "God has Seventy Thousand Veils of Light and Darkness: were He to withdraw their curtain, then would the splendours of His Aspect (or Countenance, or Face, Wajh) surely consume everyone who apprehended Him with his sight." The Prophet ﷺ is described as: > وَدَاعِيًا إِلَى ٱللَّهِ بِإِذْنِهِۦ وَسِرَاجًۭا مُّنِيرًۭا **a Beacon Light a caller to ˹the Way of˺ Allah by His command, an illuminating Lamp:** >[T]he Eye has many defects. It is only the perceiving faculty or Intelligence which is properly entitled to the name of Light considered as a source of enlightenment. > >The verses of the Qur’an, in relation to Intelligence, have the value of sunlight in relation to eyesight. The Qur’an is therefore spoken of as the Light: "For We have sent unto you a light (that is) manifest": 4. 174. > >Thus, the physical eye sees by the sun; the spiritual eye sees by Revelation (the Qur’an). There is a world invisible, with a Light of its own, quite different from the world visible, with its own physical light. The former, the spiritual world, is far above the physical world: not in space, for there is no question of space, but in grade. Yet the World of Sense is a type of the World of the Realm Celestial. All the Prophets are Lamps, and so are the Learned: but the difference between them is incalculable. If the Prophet of God is a Lamp Illuminant, that from which the Lamp is itself lit may fitly be symbolized by Fire. It is the Spirits Celestial, the angels, considered as the kindling-source of the Lamps Terrestrial, that can be compared alone with Fire:🔥 . These Lamps Celestial have their own grades and orders, and the highest is the one nearest to the Ultimate Light. > > That Ultimate Light is the final Fountainhead, Who is Light in and by Himself, not a light kindled from other lights. The term 'light' as applied to any other than this primary Light is purely metaphorical. But these metaphorical lights have various gradations. So are there gradations in their opposites. There is no darkness so intense as the darkness of Not-being. A dark thing is called "dark" simply because it cannot appear to anyone's vision; it never comes to exist for sight, though it may exist in itself. But that which has no existence for others nor for itself is assuredly the very extreme of darkness. In contrast with it is Being, which is therefore Light. Thus God Most High is the only Reality, as He is the only Light. This ascending and descending Light of lights housed in ascending and descending realms sounds like a nested virtualization of photonics. Has anyone described an isomorphism from virtual photonics which makes clear the true nature of Light?

Is sunnah prayer from Allah or from muhammad (saw), because it is called sunnah and sunnah is related to muhammad ( saw).

I watched a video (I can't remember where I watched it) that says exchanging two different things of different prices is riba (interest) as per Islam, and it was told by the Prophet (Peace be upon him). I'll give some examples. 1. I give two $500 worth of phones to my friend and gain a laptop that is worth $1000. 2. I give two $500 worth of phones to my friend and gain a laptop that is worth $1500. 3. I create a mobile app worth $1000 and get a $1000 worth of laptop. 4. I create a mobile app worth $1200 and get a $1000 worth of laptop. How and when will these scenarios come under riba (interest) or not?

We know that Prophet Muhammad is the last of the Prophets (sometimes referred to as the Seal of the Prophets ): > Muhammad is not the father of [any] one of your men, but **[he is] the Messenger of Allah and last of the prophets**. And ever is Allah, of all things, Knowing. -- Qur'an 33:40 We also know that second coming of Prophet Isa will be a sign of the Day of Judgement: > And indeed, **Jesus will be [a sign for] knowledge of the Hour**, so be not in doubt of it, and follow Me. This is a straight path. -- Qur'an 43:61 This means Prophet Isa will return to Earth in the future, and in particular, after Prophet Muhammad who is the last of the Prophets. This is puzzling me. **Question**: How can Prophet Isa return to Earth without violating Prophet Muhammad being the last Prophet?

**Muhammad Peace SHALL BE UPON HIM** Islam teaches that Muhammad ﷺ is the Seal of the Prophets (Khatam an‑Nabiyyīn), yet Muslims also believe that Jesus (ʿĪsā, peace be upon him) will return near the end of times. The Qur’an emphasizes the finality of Muhammad ﷺ’s message: > “Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets…” (Qur’an 33:40) The Qur’an also contains verses that classical scholars interpret as referring to Jesus’ eschatological role, such as: “And indeed, he is a sign for [the coming of] the Hour…” (Qur’an 43:61), understood by many scholars as indicating that Jesus’ return will be a sign of the approaching Day of Judgment. “And (as for) their saying, ‘We killed the Messiah…’… Rather, Allah raised him up to Himself…” (Qur’an 4:157–158), which is taken as establishing that Jesus was raised and will return. “…Allah said, ‘O Jesus, I will take you and raise you to Myself… Then to Me is your return…’” (Qur’an 3:55), which many commentators connect with Jesus’ future descent and eventual death after his mission is completed. My specific question is: How do mainstream Islamic scholars explain that Jesus’ return does not violate the finality of prophethood with Muhammad ﷺ, and how is Jesus’ return understood in relation to Muhammad’s completed message according to the Qur’an and traditional exegesis? I am looking for a doctrinal explanation that shows how the concept of Jesus’ return fits within orthodox Islamic theology without contradicting the finality of Muhammad ﷺ’s prophethood.

Not to cause argument, i only want to clear any misunderstandings that i may have. According to Sunnis, Fadak was inheritance, in contrast to endowment. But Al Suyuti seems to take the latter view in his tafsir. Al Suyuti comments on surah 17 verse 26: “Abu Saeed al Khudri and Abdullah Ibn Abbas narrate that when the verse relating to giving rights to kindred was revealed, the Prophet called Fatima Zahra (as) and gifted the land of Fadak to her”. - [Tafseer Dur al-Manthur, Vol. 4, page 177](https://shiapen.com/wp-content/uploads/BlogMedia/tafseer_dur_almanthur_v4_p177-1642247339.jpg)

I heard Aisha (r.a) was engaged before she married Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w). Can you provide details about this? Are they authentic?

What is the correct way to spell the Prophet's name? Muhammad, Mohammad, Muhammed, Mohammed, Mohamed, or Mohumed? Wikipedia spells it Muhammad (so does this site's tag: [tag:prophet-muhammad]), though I'm running into people with variations on the spelling quite often.

We were told that the Prophet peace be upon him lived an extremely humble and poor life. He hardly have food at home for the next day. This is what we were told. Now that I have researched, I find that the Prophet could not have been that poor because 1. Quran allowed the Prophet to keep 1/5 of the war booty 2. He had gifted the mount of Fadak to Fatima, which was captured in a battle. 3. He had many wives himself, which would be hardly possible, if he was such a poor man. Each wife lived in a seperate home (AFAIK). Apparently he gave a good amount of Mehr to his wives according to this answer Now I do understand that there were times when the Prophet did not have enough resources, that was in the early and middle time of Islam. But in the last 3 years of his life or so he must have been well off because he was the ruler, he kept the largest part of war booty and People used to send gifts to him which he would accept. My question, In what forms did the Prophet pay Zakat. Did he pay it little over the year or at once at the end of year? If he paid it at one time, does it give the estimate of his wealth? My related question is, why dont we follow the Prophet in Zakat related issue while follow him in every other possible way? Could this be because he never paid Zakat? While searching online, I cam across this similar question . May be one can highlight the authenticity of that answer as well.

There is a hadith about Umm Hani approaching the Prophet (ﷺ), and she asked him for a good deed that she could do because she had become old and weak. The Prophet (ﷺ) said that if she said Subhanallah 100x, it would be equivalent to freeing 100 slaves from the children of Ismail, and if she said Alhamdullilah 100x, it would be equivalent to sending 100 horses to battle in the way of Allah for jihad, and if she said Allahuakbar 100x, it would be as if you dressed 100 camels to get sacraficed in Hajj. I can't find much information about the validity of this hadith online, so does anybody know if it is authentic or not?

I heard few sahaba's they got the ticket to heaven when they are in the earth: like **Umar R.A** and **Abubakar** 1. How many else got there?

> > Allah and His Angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! > Send ye blessings on him and salute him with all respect. **Surah Ahzaab verse 56** I have to think about this from a long time why Allah has to send his blessing toward Muhammad (saw). I mean Allah have All the power of the world and he accepts all blessing of mankind and every other living thing, then why He have to send his blessing?
I am sorry if I did not get the proper translation cause I don't know how to speak Arabic.

The society of Muslims needs to be guided by caliph after prophet Mohammad (PBUH). Hence, after the death of holy prophet (PBUH), a caliph was assigned to guide and rule the Muslims. According to my findings in noble Qur'an, God has assigned the caliph. For example, Moses the prophet (PBUH) didn't ask people to form a Shura for choosing a successor when he left for Miqat. > Moses said: "O’ Allah) assign me a vizier from my family, (that is) my > brother Aaron (Haroon) ...,”(Allah) said: "We granted your requests, > O’ Moses.”(20:29-36) . Or in another verse, Allah the exalted, directly mentions the word "Caliph": > يَا دَاوُودُ **إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاكَ خَلِيفَةً** فِي الْأَرْ‌ضِ فَاحْكُم > بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ الْهَوَىٰ فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن > سَبِيلِ اللَّـهِ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّـهِ > لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ بِمَا نَسُوا يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ > > [We said], "O David, indeed **We have made you a successor** upon the > earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow [your > own] desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allah." > Indeed, those who go astray from the way of Allah will have a severe > punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account.(38:26) But I didn't find other clues mentioning the authority of the prophet or people. Please let me know if others except God has such an authority. Support your answer using Qur'an and Hadith.

Whenever I pray to Allah swt to make things good and make a particular thing easy for me and solve the issue in a better way, then only after few days something bad happens about that issue. Else it gets more worst or it becomes impossible for me or for my family to tackle it.

I were commenting against someone who was talking about the marriage of the prophet pbuh and Aisha peace be upon her too. The person I was commenting against said something like why would God let the perfect model for Earth marry a child when we know in today’s society that it could cause numerous health problems if a man and a young woman were to engage in sexual relationships and that it would leave people committing illegal acts in today’s society. God would’ve known that marrying people significantly younger or older can be bad so why would god set out such a bad example for the humans even though the prophet was supposed to be the perfect example. Please include Hadith and Quranic verses if possible.

Is it regarded as immoral to marry a young girl in Islam given that prophet Muhammad married Aisha when she was 6-7 and had her consummated when she was around 10? Generally, is everything Muhammad did considered as desirable, expected and/or good behavior for Muslims nowadays?

Why Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala did not call our prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) like "Ya Muhammad!..." in the Holy book Quranul Karim? Is it okay to address with this if anything Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala told addressing our prophet? Example: وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَاصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا لَا نَسْأَلُكَ رِزْقًا نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ وَالْعَاقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَى Is it okay to translate like: "And (**Hey Muhammad Sallallhu Alaihi wa Sallam!**) enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness."(20:132) The Imam of our local mosque said, "Allah subhanahu wa ta'la never called Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam with his name, because, calling by one's name is not that respectful. So, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala avoided it. But used in case of other prophet so that people could understand the respect of our prophet (pbuh). So, translating like this is not permissible."

My daughter accidentally without our knowledge drank her aunt's breast milk which she collected in a feeder. So is her aunt now my daughter's foster mother? She drank only two to three drops.

I’m just wondering about this ruling on asking questions about Islam. Some say it’s discouraged and some say it’s haram but my question is would it be considered kufr if you ask too many questions about Islam. So in my case I asked “it doesn’t make sense, why does Prophet Muhammad love us more than our mother loves us if he didn’t meet us in the first place?” Edit: is my question in quotations considered doubt
