What defines a Muslim?

I have read that slaves do not veil from strangers. I want someone to give a proper explanation of how does that reconcile with 24:31: > And tell the believing women to lower their gaze and guard their > chastity, and not to reveal their adornments except what normally > appears. Let them draw their veils over their chests, and not reveal > their ˹hidden˺ adornments except to their husbands, their fathers, > their fathers-in-law, their sons, their stepsons, their brothers, > their brothers’ sons or sisters’ sons, their fellow women, those > ˹bondwomen˺ in their possession, male attendants with no desire, or > children who are still unaware of women’s nakedness. Let them not > stomp their feet, drawing attention to their hidden adornments. Turn > to Allah in repentance all together, O  believers, so that you may be > successful. — Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran My confusion is that if a slave is a believer then she can not reveal her adornment except to the people in this list. Strangers are not in the list. How to explain this?

Do a person has to make up his invalid salahs after leaving islam and then again joining it?

Assalamu alaikum. I know these are very, very bad things I did but some of the things I was genuinely ignorant about since I was in 10 grade when I joined Islam and I came to know about it from internet. I don't have any Muslim person in real life to tell me about these things. I am a revert but later left the Islam. I realized my mistake and did my shahada again. I'm a Muslim again. But I have a question: when I first became a Muslim I did many prayers wrong like horrible pronunciation that are straight up many times wrong, didn't did salam at the end of prayer which is is a pillar of prayer (I knew about that it was essentialwhen I did not do Salam at one prayer because of fear lf parents and society). Didn't knew about wudu or forget about it before doing Prayer etc things like that. Since I left islam and joined again, do I have to repeat or make up all these players again?

I have been studying the Quran about what prophet Muhammed wrote concerning the physical attributes of the anti-Christ. Does the Quran actually confirm that he will have two eyes but one eye will be blinded? or does it actually say that this person will only have one eye on the head? This is because this prophecy was written more than 1400 years ago but there seems to be some hidden secret in Hollywood concerning blinding the right eye as most celebrities block or blind the right eye. Anas Ibn Malik narrated that Muhammed said: >"There is never a prophet who has not warned the Ummah of that one-eyed liar; behold he is one-eyed and your Lord is not one-eyed. Dajjal is blind of one eye On his forehead are the letters k. f. r. (Kafir) between the eyes of the Dajjal which every Muslim would be able to read." So is it true that he will be one eyed technically or he wil have both eyes but one will be made blind? enter image description here

How to interpret the hadith concerning Umar on direction of prayer, hijab, and advising the Prophet's wives?

The following hadith in Sahih Bukhari (sunnah.com ) seems to suggest Allah agreed with Umar on three things: 1) The direction of prayer changed to qiblah; 2) The divine verse of hijab; and 3) Umar advising Prophet Muhammad's (saw) wives when they were troubling him. > Narrated Anas: 'Umar said, "I agreed with Allah in three things," or said, "My Lord agreed with me in three things. I said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Would that you took the station of Abraham as a place of prayer.' I also said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Good and bad persons visit you! Would that you ordered the Mothers of the believers to cover themselves with veils.' So the Divine Verses of Al-Hijab (i.e. veiling of the women) were revealed. I came to know that the Prophet (ﷺ) had blamed some of his wives so I entered upon them and said, 'You should either stop (troubling the Prophet (ﷺ) ) or else Allah will give His Apostle better wives than you.' When I came to one of his wives, she said to me, 'O 'Umar! Does Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) haven't what he could advise his wives with, that you try to advise them?' " Thereupon Allah revealed:-- "It may be, if he divorced you (all) his Lord will give him instead of you, wives better than you Muslims (who submit to Allah).." (66.5) Does this mean Umar was receiving inspiration guidance from Allah?! When only the Prophet Muhammad (saw) is the true source of divine guidance from Allah swt? Can you offer explanation from ibn hajar or classical scholars?

Is the salat accepted when we pray without wearing any clothing and without seen by anyone? For example praying in the house or a safe and enclosed space naked.

What if someone does not reply back my Salaam?
I had a quarrel with my friend. But, as I had a habbit of greeting her by saying Salaam. So, I did that. But she even after hearing me did not replied me back. I felt very bad. So, are there any rulings in Islam when someone ignores your Salaam?

Assalamu alaikum, In the course of my readings, I have often wondered whether, nowadays, there are still areas of the Muslim world (whether in the Gulf or the Maghreb etc) where people still actually own Shar'i slaves unofficially, and also whether it is still possible to procure them. Obviously I'm not talking about modern slaves such as migrants and forced laborers where this does not at all respect fiqh and Shar'ia related to slavery. Barak Allahu fikoum for your answers.

It is narrated: >The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The one who repents from sin is like one who never sinned.” And the one who did not sin cannot be punished. Does this mean that if someone is found guilty of murder or rape, but he repents prior to the trial, he can be let off without any form of discretionary punishment? What if it so happens that the forgiveness prior to the trial was completely insincere or worse yet, there is a great chance that person may commit the crime again?

I am a 34 years old unmarried woman with no fall-backs/backups in life. To cut a long story short, my career is also almost in a dumpster. It is sheerly the mercy of Allah that He is keeping me afloat, alhamdoliAllah. So I do feel a lot of anxiety about things. It's a continuous battle where fears and negative thoughts come in my mind, and I consciously tell myself (of course alhamdoliAllah) that Allah is so merciful that He will definitely take care of my and unfold the best plan for me, just like He has taken care of me so far. When I meet people for a few minutes or hours in social gatherings, they give me a lot of unsolicited and superficial advise (which is not even intended at suggesting a solution for the challenges I face, but it is rather talk for the sake of talk), without thinking that if I could solve my problems, I would have done that. My question is that is it OK if I keep telling the people that I have put my trust in Allah and Allah will make the best way out for me, I am sure of it (while in reality I do face anxiety related to these matters)?
