Touching around the ankle while going to prostrate
Asalamu Alaykum, if i am a frequent doubter and during the salat in jamaat jummah prayer while we were going into sujud I was trying to touch my ankle to see if it was wet from wudu, does this movement invalidate the salat? I have problems with doubts and frequently question if I did wudu properly.

My mother is also getting old and unwell.
I need to be near my parents or with my parents to take care of them.
My wife is refusing to live with my parents and even live in another home in the same city as my parents.
She's trying to force me to move to or near her home city so she can commute to work and drop my son to her parents home while shes at work or out with friends.
She's refusing to move to my city and find work in my city where my parents live.
She's does not care about my parents.
Only thinking of her ease and happiness.
Im only asking her to be live in same city as parents as I will take care of my parents yet still refusing.
Her parents dont want her to move to my city. They rather her stay in her city where her parents live for her work and being able to drop my son to her parents home while she's at work or out with friends.
I cannot leave my parents as they are very elderly and unwell. She's does not respect this . How can I abandone my vulnerable parenrs just to please her happiness.

Anybody know which ḥadīth my friend is referring to? Something about idle minds being more vulnerable
For context, I was talking about my major depressive disorder with a friend. He mentioned a *ḥadīth*, but said he didn't know the source at the top of his mind, about idle minds being easier to control/attack.

For context, I was talking about my major depressive disorder with a friend. He mentioned a *ḥadīth*, but said he didn't know the source at the top of his mind, about idle minds being easier to control/attack. I have attached a screenshot of some messages we had exchanged after that conversation in case it helps.
Some links that may be useful, but it doesn't seem like these are the exact *ḥadīth* he was referencing:
> Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Satan is lying in wait over the heart of the son of Adam. If he remembers Allah, Satan retreats. If he forgets Allah, Satan will devour his heart; that is the ‘whisperer who retreats.’” (114:4)
https://www.abuaminaelias.com/dailyhadithonline/2013/03/20/shaytan-al-waswas-al-khannas/
> Sa’id ibn Jubayr reported: Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “Satan is perched over the heart of the son of Adam. If he is unmindful and he forgets, Satan whispers. If he remembers Allah, Satan withdraws.”

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers in Islam,
Can you please help me understand as to why in Surah Baqarah the verse 149 is repeated again in 150?
> So from wherever you go out [for prayer, O Muhammad] turn your face toward al- Masjid al-Haram, and indeed, it is the truth from your Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what you do. **[Surah Baqarah : 149]**
and
> And from wherever you go out [for prayer], turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] may be, turn your faces toward it in order that the people will not have any argument against you, except for those of them who commit wrong; so fear them not but fear Me. And [it is] so I may complete My favor upon you and that you may be guided.
> **[Surah Baqarah : 150]**

I tried looking up on this and found a mixed bag of answers as they usually only mentioned for Educational purposes (Dawah) or Sightseeing in the context of understanding what you shouldn't do. But what about the intention of sightseeing for purely tourism as in like admiring the architecture, not taking part in any practice and then moving on with your day? Just to clarify, it would not be the sole intention either but just on a bucket list of places during a vacation. Is it still haram?
Thank you

Quran 40:64
> "It is Allāh who made for you the earth a place of settlement and the sky a structure [i.e., ceiling] and formed you and perfected your forms and provided you with good things. That is Allāh, your Lord; then blessed is Allāh, Lord of the worlds."
and Quran 2:22
> "[He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allāh equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]."
and in Quran 50:6 the word used is بَنَيْنَـٰهَا which means built i think
> "Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?"

Yes I understand transgenderism is a major sin and believing it not be takes you out of the fold of Islam. However if a transgender individual found Islam after they transitioned, would they’re salah be accepted if they pray the way which is their transitioned gender and not cisgender? Or do they need to pray of their cisgender identity. Is there a specific ruling? A response about intersexual people would also be helpful.

Reciting surats without knowing the true meaning of it

When I was around 15 years till 16 years old I went to Arabic school mostly in the weekends. I learned some suras without really understanding it in my mother tongue. Mostly because we were taught at that school to study just suras by heart something I dislike about the teaching methods from Arabic schools in Belgium and the Netherlands. A few years ago I started to read the Quran in my mother tongue but I didn't spend much time on it. I know from very few suras the true meaning but of many others I know by heart I don't know anything which I will need to change in the near future.
> "Does it make my salats when I recite suras which I don't know the true meaning of less valid as the salats when I perform suras which I do know the true meaning of." I need to say that those few suras that I fully understand I keep repeating now but it seems that isn't the way of doing the salat. Aren't you supposed to learn every day more and more suras and to fully understand them so that you can expand your knowledge about your own faith?
Please elaborate your answer till you think you have provided everything you know on this matter and please link some references to it so that I can look all the elaborations of the authors myself.

Will of the Father in John 6
Many Muslims quote Jesus in terms of doing the will of the "Father", assuming the Father Jesus refers to is Allah, but I've never witnessed them quote this verse from John 6:38-40: "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

Many Muslims quote Jesus in terms of doing the will of the "Father", assuming the Father Jesus refers to is Allah, but I've never witnessed them quote this verse from
John 6:38-40:
"For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day."
It's clear from this verse that the will of God is to believe in Jesus as the Son of God and the one responsible for our salvation and everlasting life. What does Islam have to say to that?
