Scary dream about miscarriage and I actually had a still birth of my baby one week later

Assalamualaikum brothers and sisters,
I was 5 months pregnant and had a still birth of my baby last week. Just a week before losing my baby, I had a dream about someone kicking my stomach multiple times and it resulted in me bleeding heavily. The next morning I checked and wveryth Was fine Alhamdulillah but a few days after my baby’s heartbeat stopped. After 10 days of losing my baby and going through a near death experience at hospital , I am back at home. I wished and prayed to Allah SWT to show my face of the person who did it. And I saw in a day dream, a middle aged woman sitting and writing something on a paper. Last night I dreamt about me being at my husband’s ancestral home. I want to know the meaning of these dreams as I feel that these dreams especially the attack on my belly was from shaitan. I also bled from my nose the day my baby passed away and physically I had no signs of baby distress or anything. Please guide me through the interpretation of this dream. And also what this woman means and why I saw her after my baby passed away. Please help. I know it was Allah SWT will and He has something better in store for me. But I also believe it was an act of nazar or hasad or shaitan. Pls help.

Do the Shayateen know Allah is real?
The first Shaitan (Iblis) knows Allah is real and makes humans and jinns disbelieve in Allah. When we say verses like Ayatul Kursi, the shayateen will go away from our house for a couple of days. If they know why they can't enter our houses when we say verses like Ayatul Kursi, do they know Allah is...

If they know why they can't enter our houses when we say verses like Ayatul Kursi, do they know Allah is real? If so why do the choose to not and can they become Muslim jinn?

What was the status of Ibliss before being rejected?
As we know, Ibliss was rejected (Rajeem) by Allah after refusing to prostrate. I wanted to know the status of Ibliss before this event. I have heard many things but do not have the evidence.

- he was a guardian of heaven;
- he was given authority over the lower heavens and the earth.
So many question, what the status of Ibliss before being
rajeem
?

Is it possible that the resurrection of Isa (as) was a hoax staged by a shaytan (devil) who'd taken on his likeness?
We know from ahadith that shayateen can take on the form of humans including living persons e.g. Surayba ibn Malik.

Will Allah forgive the Satan (Al-Shaytan/Iblis) if he decided to repent to Allah?
Okay, this has been on my mind the whole day. And after searching the entire internet, articles, youtube videos and what not, I cannot find a legitimate answer anywhere.

Okay, this has been on my mind the whole day. And after searching the entire internet, articles, youtube videos and what not, I cannot find a legitimate answer anywhere. So, I decided to post the question here myself.
PLEASE NOTE: The question isn't why Allah didn't forgive Iblish when He forgave Adam (AS) and Eve (RA) for their sins. The Question is WILL ALLAH FORGIVE Iblish IF he decides to REPENT TO ALLAH (SWT).
I came across a Dr. Zakir Nayek video during researching and while it did not answer the question (not even close) he mentioned that ***Allah (SWT) has filled Iblish's heart with sins*** (and Allah [SWT] knows the future- yes, undoubtedly). Why would He fill his heart with sins? Isn't it contradicting with the FREE WILL we Mankind and the Jinn possess? What if the Devil finally came to the realization of his horrible mistakes and decided to seek Allah's forgiveness? For indeed Allah is the most Merciful and the most Forgiving, will Allah (SWT) not forgive him? If no then why not?

It has narrated that Satan came to the door step of Pharaoh and knocked the door. Pharaoh told: who is knocking the door? Satan answered if you were God you would know who is knocking the door!
Pharaoh told: come in Damned! Satan answered: a damned one joined the other damn! Pharaoh asked him why you have not prostrated Adam to avoid to being outcast and damned. Satan answered: Because someone like you was on descendant of Adam!
Pharaoh asked: do you know anyone worse than you and I on the ground? Satan told: the jealous person is worse than you and I. Jealousy eats the good works as fire burns the wood.

Why do we blame Shaitan for bad acts and not ourselves?
Allah has given us feelings, willpower, and thought processes. This is sufficient to justify what we choose to engage in something good or bad. I find it very confusing why in Islam there exists 'Shaitan'. For every bad act, why we blame Shaitan and not ourselves.

Why did Allah let Satan to mislead us?
Satan is very good at deceiving us human beings to mislead us. Allah knows this earlier. Why did Allah let Satan to misguide us? Why did He give time till Day of Resurrection to make us go astray?

https://sunnah.com/riyadussalihin:1020
My question is how did the devil come to know that a Muslim needs to recite ayatul kursi for protection? Is this report similar to one where ruqyah was recited for scorpion bite?

Assalamualaikum
I was born muslim ,and now i met 'wiswas' problem. I can't digest it which one was a whisper or my mind. And i always feels like whatever i have thought was made me left islam unknowingly!!!! Sometimes I'm sure I didn't doing anything wrong but i feel myself always carrying a lot of sin because i always have dirty thought about religion , god and then i feel guilty after i think it. And i feel like I'm not muslim anymore . So i keep taking shahada many many times because i don't want to left islam unknowingly!!! Always make me doubt when i was praying "will my prayer is valid or I'm already in state of kafir" Is it the best way for me to keep taking shahada many times? I can start my islam life after taken shahada or not? Even my feelings always the same everytime because i believe in allah and his prophet pbuh and whatever since first. Is there anyone have a better idea to deal with wiswas? Or at least way to make me calm . I'm really afraid if later i will die when i left islam unknowingly i don't want to go jahannam!!! Please help me and jazakallah. I'm soon crazy

How does Islamic Theology solve the problem of evil that so plagues Christian Theology?
The problem of evil: How does an infinitely merciful & compassionate Allah create an evil Shaitan to plague us every day of our lives?

Why Al-Maidah verse 5:90 described Satan like a real person?
Since childhood, I have been taught about the Satan. Satan is a creature of the unseen and its task is to tempt humans to deny Allah. They're the real enemy to all humans.

Since childhood, I have been taught about the Satan. Satan is a creature of the unseen and its task is to tempt humans to deny Allah. They're the real enemy to all humans.
But when I read Surah Al-Maidah verse 5:90, it mentions among the deeds of Satan, drinking alcohol, gambling, idol worship, and seeking omens. These are all actions performed by humans, not by unseen beings, let alone those whose specific task is to tempt the mankind.
So is that mean the Satan is actually referred to real humans physically, and the actual meaning of the clear enemy (mubeen) is the visible enemy in front of our eyes, which humans can clearly and distinctly recognize?

Is talking to myself mean that i am talking with Satan?
Sometimes I talk to myself. Then there are two voices in my head. I ask a question an the other voice answers. Sometimes I am suprised at the answers it gives. I wouldn't be suprised if it was me right ? What does this mean ?

How can something be created from fire?
Al-A'raf 7:12 قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسْجُدَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَۖ قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِى مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن طِينٍ English - Sahih International > [Allāh] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded > you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me...
Al-A'raf 7:12
قَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَلَّا تَسْجُدَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَۖ قَالَ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِى مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُۥ مِن طِينٍ
English - Sahih International
> [Allāh] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded
> you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire
> and created him from clay [i.e., earth]."
How can something be created from fire? Fire is not matter. Fire is a result of oxidation manifested in heat and light. Fire can't exist unless you burn something, so what does it mean to be made from fire?
I could grasp it if it was by or with fire, but understanding how something can be made **from** fire is difficult for me.

Shaitan influence on Prophets
As we normal people are always being influenced by Shaitan to do wrong things and we try to avoid all those things to do following the rules, so similarly could Shaitan also have the power to influence Prophets as well in their daily life?

Is Allah negotiating with Iblis (Satan) in Quran 15:34-44?
[Surah 15, ayah 26-44][1] of the Holy Quran describes the then blessed Jinn Iblis (now accursed Satan) refusing to prostrate before the Prophet Adam (AS).

Surah 15, ayah 26-44 of the Holy Quran describes the then blessed Jinn Iblis (now accursed Satan) refusing to prostrate before the Prophet Adam (AS). Allah, responds by cursing Iblis (15:34-44):
> The Lord said: "Then get out of here; you are rejected, and there shall be a curse upon you till the Day of Recompense."
>
> Iblis said: "My Lord! Grant me respite till the Day when they will be resurrected."
>
> Allah said: "For sure you are granted respite until the day of a known time."
>
> Iblis said: "My Lord! In the manner You led me to error, I will make things on earth seem attractive to them and lead all of them to error, except those of Your servants whom You have singled out for Yourself."
>
> Allah said: "Here is the path that leads straight to Me. Over My true servants you will be able to exercise no power, your power will be confined to the erring ones, those who choose to follow you. Surely Hell is the promised place for all of them."
This strikes me as an unusual conversation; it seems like Allah is negotiating with Iblis about his punishment, and dividing up humans like "these are yours, and these are mine" in a kind of divine custody dispute. However, it doesn't strike me as necessary for Allah to accept Iblis's requests; what is the motivation for agreeing to Iblis's requests?
*Q*: Is Allah negotiating with Iblis? Why is Allah agreeing to Iblis's terms?
