Is there any Nisab for Jizyah on Dhimmis just like there is Nisab for Zakat on Muslim as per Fuqaha? **Note: Prefer To Know Hanbali Fiqh Rulings**

In Islam prayer time is calculated based on the position of sun: dawn, noon, set etc , I heard different methods to adopt to calculate prayer time when day or night time is too long or too short. i. Follow the nearest stable country. ii. Combine prayers : Duhar with Asar and Magrib with Isha . But I don't feel none of them a proper solution as Islam suggested 5 times prayers to stabilize daily routines of a Muslim and keep in memory of God throughout a day. But Muslims daily prayers is messing up their routines due to imbalance in day and night duration. The Quran and Hadith explained many things based on the primary audience and the native context of the Prophet. Rules such as Zakat and traveling to Hajj (by camel) are explained similarly to how prayer and fasting times are described. Allah has given us common sense, and the Quran consistently encourages us to think. Therefore, it is our duty to derive rules from their fundamental principles. We do not have to give wheat as Zakatul Fitr; we can travel to Hajj by flight. In places where the moon cannot be observed, we can calculate dates using our advanced knowledge of astronomy. There are regions where the sun never sets or never rises; this does not contradict the Quran. Instead, we should apply our logic. Regarding prayer and fasting times, these are interconnected. Prayer times regulate the daily activities of a Muslim and should not disrupt sleep or other aspects of life—it is not meant to be a hardship. Allah never intended for Maghrib, Isha, and Fajr prayers to be performed consecutively within three hours. Some people make Islam harder by following literal interpretations without considering the context. We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won’t be offended. Can we adopt the following method to find prayer times where day length is too high or too short ? The noon time can be calculated from anywhere on Earth; it is the point when the sun is at its zenith. This is the only correct reference point we get from the sun, regardless of the location, whether the person is inside a well or on top of the Burj Khalifa. Therefore, noon time should not be changed or moved based on Makkah or any other stable country. From the point of noon (N), we can calculate prayer times backward and forward. The duration from noon to sunset is never more than 7 hours across Saudi Arabia. In Makkah, the maximum is 6 hours and 42 minutes. We can use these calculations to determine prayer times accurately. Max_half_day = 7 Min_half_day = 5 Dhuhr : N , where N is the time immediately after noon. X = sunset - N If x > Max_half_day X = Max_half_day Else if x Max_half_day Y = Max_half_day Else if Y < Min_half_day Y = Min_half_day End Fajr end time = N - Y This calculation will align with day-today activities of a person. Let me know your opinions and corrections in the calculation. The attached picture shows an example ideal situation of a place along the equator, where day length is 12 hours.

In which year was Mohammad considered a "prophet"? **Who** first started calling him that? Per dictionary: > **prophet** /ˈprɑfət/ /ˈprɒfɪt/ > > ..future is a foggy mystery, but a prophet sees beyond that fog to speak about what’s to come. A fortune teller is a prophet, and so is a savvy computer designer who knows how technology will change in ten years. Prophet comes from the Greek word for “spokesman,” which explains another definition of prophet: someone who speaks on behalf of God. I disavow this clever use of homonym, for it primaf appears that *someone* is trying to trick the listener into thinking the claim is Mohammad has made prophesies (and if that's the claim, this Q would be Whatever's his prophecy?) putting him at the same level as actual prophets when "Prophet" here merely refers to a spokesman/messenger.In fact the trickery employed here seems to be two-fold, first downgrading Christ to merely-a-prophet and then upgrading Mohammad to the same level. For answer, please kindly include a dictionary quote too [perhaps starting from an arabic one].

"Abu Qatada reported that a person came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said:How do you fast? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) felt annoyed. When 'Umar (Allah be pleased with him) noticed his annoyance, he said: We are well pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our code of life, and with Muhammad as our Prophet. We seek refuge with Allah from the anger of Allah and that of His Messenger. 'Umar kept on repeating these words till his (the Prophet's) anger calmed down. ..."

When we consider the vastness of the universe, is there any other reason or purpose for its existence beyond people being reminded of Allah and praising Him for the beautiful things he has created? Has any other purpose of these creations been mentioned in the Quran or hadith?

I've heard that the nation of Yajuj and Majuj (Gog and Magog) is in the ratio 999:1 to humans, meaning there are 999 of them for every human. There are approximately 7.8 billion humans on the earth today. This would mean there are approximately 7792.2 billion of the Yajuj and Majuj, which is a number beyond human comprehension. It seems impossible for such a large group to remain hidden and undiscovered for so long. So are the Yajuj and Majuj really on earth or are they in a completely different place? If they are on earth, how is this possible?

There are several versions of the story, with elements that contradict each other. All accounts of Bahira and his meeting with Muhammad have been deemed fictitious by modern historians as well as by some medieval Muslim scholars, such as al-Dhahabi.

Did Fuqaha ever declared a country/kingdom Dar Al Harb and its people as Harbi for certain Muslims but not for all? **For example:** > Israel is Dar Al Harb & Yahood Is Harbi for Palestinians and Arab > neighbors but not for All Muslims around the World. OR Is it Binding Upon > All the Muslims to consider them Harbi and that place as Dar Al-Harb!!! Is this view ever adopted in the Jurisprudence ever or if a country/kingdom is called Dar Al Harb and its people as Harbi. It is generally binding upon Muslims to consider that place as Dar Al Harb and its Kuffar as Harbi???

This is something that confuses me a little bit. I was a Muslim because I was born as a Muslim (my parents are Muslims). After I became an adult, I began to question about life, because the only thing I knew about Islam is Allah (swt), prophet Mohamed (saws), praying, haram/halal and paradise and hell. After some time of research, I can say I'm a real Muslim now. I love Allah and because of the love for him I love to pray for Him. I also love our prophet Mohamed (saws), because he's gentle, careful, honest, fair, a pure man who cares for the people and wanted the best for us. I'm also aware that I have to fear for Allah's punishment. It's like telling your son not to put his fingers in the power socket. But if he does, the disobedience can be painful. But to make things clear, I became a Muslim in the first place because I was searching for my creator, to give my life a meaning and not because I was afraid of Allah! So why do a lot of sheikhs say we have to fear and cry for Allah for His punishments. Very little do they talk about the love for Allah. They rather talk about fear for Allah than love for Allah. If I wasn't a Muslim and I was searching for the truth I'd never be a Muslim if it was based on the sayings of sheiks who often talk about doom scenario. So, should one be a Muslim because of the love for Allah or the fear of Allah?

Assalamu alaikum brother.If I shake hand with a hindu in such a time when I can understand his amulet may be touched with my hand, will it considered as shirk? I will not make him crony.

Is it true that Ibn Taymiyyah believed in the Satanic verses. I need verification on this quote which is alleged to be from him: > The principle established by the agreement of the Community is that > the Prophets (God’s Peace be upon them) are Protected in that which > they convey from God (Glory be to Him) and in imparting his Messages. > And it is by this firmly established Protection of the Prophets that > the purpose of Prophethood and Messengership is obtained. A Prophet is > someone who conveys communications from God and a Messenger is someone > sent by God with a mission; and while every Messenger is a Prophet not > every Prophet is a Messenger. Protection in regard to that which they > impart from God is firmly established and the Muslims are agreed that > no error may come to lodge therein. But: Can something issue forth > which God then corrects, such that God removes that which Satan casts > and establishes His Signs clearly? There are two opinions in regard to > this and the Quran is in agreement with the one that has been > transmitted from the early Muslims. Those later Muslims who forbid > this position attack what has been transmitted about the Prophet > uttering the additional words, “Indeed, they are as high-flying cranes > And, indeed, their intercession is hoped for”, in Sirat al-Najm, > saying that the transmission of the accounts is not established as > reliable. Those of them who recognize that the transmission is > reliable say: “Satan cast this into their hearing but the Prophet > (God’s Peace and Preservation be upon him) did not utter it”; but the > question remains unresolved in this interpretation too, so they also > say in regard to God’s words, “‘illa idha tamanna alqa ‘l-shaytainu fi > umniyyati-hi”, that this refers to inner thoughts. Those who affirm > what has been transmitted from the early Muslims, say: This has been > reliably transmitted and it is not possible to discredit it, and the > Quran furnishes evidence for it by saying: “We have not sent before > you a Prophet or a Messenger but that when he recited/desired, Satan > cast something into his recitation, but God annuls that which Satan > casts and then establishes His Signs [ayat] clearly – and God is All- > Knowing, All-Wise – to make what Satan casts a trial for those in > whose hearts is sickness and those whose hearts are hardened- for > indeed the wrong-doers are in far dissension – and to teach those who > have been endowed with knowledge that this is the Truth from your > Lord, that they believe in it and humble their hearts to Him, for God > guides those who believe to a straight path”. They say: The reports in > explanation of this verse in the books of Tafsir and hadith are > well-known and reliable and the Quran is in agreement with these > reports.For God’s abrogation of what Satan casts and His establishing > His Signs is precisely so as to remove what has fallen into His ayat > and to distinguish Truth from Falsehood so that His diyat are not > confused with anything else; while the making of that which Satan cast > as a trial for those in whose hearts there is sickness and for those > whose hearts are hardened” can only happen if what was cast was > something external which the people heard and not something internal > to the soul.

I know the major zina is penetration into the women’s private part. It’s also clear that getting pleasure before marriage by any means is not allowed. In my case if I was to was to receive oral pleasure, would it be considered minor or major zina? At the same time is getting a handjob major or minor zina. Because it counts just as touching?

I believe Allah loves his beings more than their mothers and at the same time I believe he is Al-Adl( the just). I want to know why he not guide the people by putting them in situation where they can learn about Allah. Why he judges us when he doesn't guide us when we were doing wrong. Please I need answer.

Did The scholars of Ahl Sunnah Wal Jammah consider Ibadi's even kaffir or they differed over it?

I'm a Jewish follower of Jesus, and was recently surprised to see Linda Sarsour, the Muslim women's leader in the US, tweeting about Jesus' appearance in the Quran: Ignoring for a moment the ahistorical anachronism of Jesus being Palestinian, **are there passages in the Quran about Jesus' appearance**? Some quick searching around the web shows some possible references in hadith traditions, but I haven't found anything in the Quran itself.

I recently came across a sermon where the narrator recommends to recite > YA SHAAFI YA KAFI YA BAQI ( The Healer, Self-sufficient, The > Everlasting) for General Sickness, Deadly Diseases, Fevers, Burns or Evil Eye. Is there any reference to this from the sunnah? How authentic is this practice?

I've come across the claim that the first mushafs (suhuf?) did not include vowel marks and sometimes did not even consistently use other diacritical marks to distinguish consonants. An example of a page of a very early mushaf that lacks vowel marks is the [Sana'a manuscript](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sana 'a_manuscript). This leads to the questions: - When were consistent vowel marks and other diacritical marks added, according to Islamic lore? (Asking for historical evidence would be a better fit on [History](https://history.stackexchange.com/) , but if any is available, it will be interesting here as well.) - If we leave out all vowel marks from the current canonical text, are there passages that become ambiguous? As an example, I've heard the claim that at the beginning of surah [Rum](https://quran.com/30/) , one of the verses could then be read as either "the Romans will defeat" or "the Romans will be defeated". - Does early Islamic scholarship discuss these issues?
