Allah's eternal punishment is undeserving
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, I hope this message finds you well.

As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I hope this message finds you well. I have a question that has been deeply troubling me and affecting my faith, and I sincerely seek your guidance and knowledge.
I am struggling to understand how Allah, who is Al-Rahman (The Most Merciful), can punish someone for eternity in Hell. If a person lives for a short time in this world — perhaps 70 or 80 years — how can their mistakes, no matter how great, justify an eternal punishment?
From my understanding, even if someone fully knows the truth of Islam yet rejects it until death, the concept of eternal punishment feels difficult to reconcile with Allah’s infinite mercy. In my human perspective, I feel that I would never punish someone endlessly for a finite lifetime of mistakes. Of course, I know my understanding is limited, but this creates a deep conflict in my heart.
The only reasoning I can think of is that perhaps the soul, even after being in Hell for unimaginable lengths of time, still refuses to accept Allah — but then again, Allah created us and has complete power over our nature. Could He not have created us all to eventually enter Jannah, even if at different levels, so that His perfect justice and perfect mercy are both fulfilled?
I ask this question with humility and sincerity, not out of disrespect, but because I genuinely wish to understand and strengthen my iman. I would be deeply grateful for your explanation.
JazakAllahu khayran

As salamualaikum
After researching duas for better eyesight I’ve come across a few pages and videos claiming to recite Verse 22 of Surah Qaf then blowing it on your finger an rubing it on your eyes.
Somehow that doesn’t really sound authentic/ part of the sunnah to me, which is why it would be helpful if someone of knowledge would help me clarify this matter.

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.

Suhur for sunnah fast
Is it ok to missed suhur during sunnah fasting? I know that it is ok for the fardh fast during ramadhan, but I'm worried that there might be different ruling for sunnah fasting. I tried to search the web, but the results only shows those during ramadhan.

Assalamualaikum,
Recently alhamdulillah I started to (try to) apply the Deen as best as possible and I have lots of shorts in my possession that do not cover the awrah properly (are a little over the knee)
As a solution can I wear tight leggings (cover 3/4 of the leg) under those shorts? It's more comfortable than wearing pants and I can still make use of the shorts, but I'm not sure if it's ok for my knee to be viewable in tight clothing publicly.
If it's Haram completely, can I donate these shorts to poor people?

Is it necessary to study in a Madrasa to gain Islamic knowledge?

I have a strong desire to become a scholar—such as a Sheikh, Mufti, Maulana, Mu’allim, or Allama—following in the footsteps of renowned scholars like Nasiruddin Albani, Zakir Naik, Taqi Usmani, and Mufti Menk.

For the past few days, I have been considering studying Islam in depth. I have a strong desire to become a scholar—such as a Sheikh, Mufti, Maulana, Mu’allim, or Allama—following in the footsteps of renowned scholars like Nasiruddin Albani, Zakir Naik, Taqi Usmani, and Mufti Menk.
At 28 years old, I have decided to dedicate the rest of my life to the field of Da’wah, but I want to first acquire proper and authentic knowledge. Being born and raised in a Muslim family, I have a basic understanding of Islam, but I feel that it is not sufficient for effectively spreading the message of Islam.
Currently, I have limited knowledge about prominent madrasas and little to no connection with Islamic scholars.
Is there a way for me to study Islam on my own, or is formal education in a madrasa necessary to achieve deep Islamic knowledge?

Assalamolaikum, my name is Ibrahim and I just had a quick question so basically for quite a long time I’ve been wearing this Silver Chain with a Palestine Pendant on it. I have been wearing it for months and then one day my uncle he told me there was a Hadith which stated that it was haram to wear a chain then I did further research and found the Hadith and also found an ayah which stated it too, further more I read it all and it said men were not to imitate women and vice versa and the Hadith stated about NECKLACES and bracelets but not CHAINS would a chain be considered a necklace or no? And i also read that a watch would be Permissible because it had a cause and a use, but so does my chain Becuase it shows that I stand with Palestine. So basically that is all I am curious about is it still haram to wear my Silver Chain with a Palestine Pendant. Jazakullah.
