Is it okay to pray to god to destory hell?
It is a win win situation if Hell is destroyed. So what about praying to god to destory Hell so that all Jin and Mankind will enter paradise. So is it wrong according to Quran to pray to god to remove the Hell and judgement and pray to god to give highest paradise for all human kind and Jinn?

Why is being gay haram?
I understand and know that being with the same sex is haram but why exactly? This is coming from someone who is straight.

I understand and know that being with the same sex is haram but why exactly? This is coming from someone who is straight. I’m just curious because I know Allah wants us to choose Islam because it’s logical, not because we’re told to, therefore I am wondering and hoping to get an answer. What in the Quran hints at homosexuality being haram? Is it haram for someone to question their sexuality. Is it ok for someone to feel like they’re attracted to the same sex as long as they don’t act on it or will you go to hell for thinking you like the same sex? I would really love to get some answers to my question.

Can Muslims Break Fast at the Totality of the Eclipse on Monday, April 8 (Ramadan 29, 1445 AH)
Can Muslims break fast at the totality of the lunar eclipse on Monday, April 8 (Ramadan 29, 1445 AH)? The Prophet Muhammed (ﷺ) says: صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ “Observe fast on sighting it (the new moon) and break (fast) on sighting it (the new moon), but if the sky is cloudy for...
Can Muslims break fast at the totality of the lunar eclipse on Monday, April 8 (Ramadan 29, 1445 AH)?
The Prophet Muhammed (ﷺ) says:
صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ
“Observe fast on sighting it (the new moon) and break (fast) on sighting it (the new moon), but if the sky is cloudy for you, then complete the number (of thirty).”
Optical effects during a total eclipse including Bailey’s Beads (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baily%27s_beads) create a visible crescent moon.
This suggests breaking fast after viewing the total eclipse follows the teaching of The Prophet (ﷺ).

> Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, created the clay on Saturday and He
> created the mountains on Sunday and He created the trees on Monday and
> He created the things entailing labour on Tuesday and created light on
> Wednesday and He caused the animals to spread on Thursday and created
> Adam (peace be upon him) after 'Asr on Friday; the last creation at
> the last hour of the hours of Friday, i. e. between afternoon and
> night. This hadith is narrated through another chain of transmitters. [Muslim 2789 ]
Day/Night/Hour are concepts which we use in the context of earth rotation around the sun! When earth is facing the sun during rotation, it is day and when it is not, it is night! We are dependant on the earth rotation for day/night/hour.
I know there is a Quranic verse which says 50,000 days of Humans is like 1 day according to God but the day mean "period" and it has got nothing to do with "day/night of Humans". The Hadith specifically mentions day names such as "Monday", "Tuesday" and concepts like "hours".
I was wondering, how can the concept of day-time/night-time & days like "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", etc can be applied to God?

What is the definition and authenticity of a hadith graded "Sahih in Chain" and can it be used as evidence?
An example of "Sahih in Chain" being used from Asharis: Assemble is:
> The different usool of hadith then go on to elucidate these matters as well as the types of chains that can be accepted, and many of the differences in practices and creed between the schools of Islam depend on which hadiths they do and do not accept.
>
> This is already a huge problem for Ahl al Hadith – since they would like to decide the authenticity of a narration by it’s chain of transmission alone, regardless of the content of the actual narration. **If, when they tell you a hadith is ‘Sahih’, you ask them ‘Sahih in chain (isnad) or content (matn) or both?’, they will react with anger and confusion, as for them, the content is not even secondary: the chain is king.**

Are there any ahadith about how Umar Ibn Al Khattab treated or interracted with his father after accepting Islam?
I have only come across the hadith where Umar ibn al Kattab references his father's cruelty. If a parent is cruel what was advised at the time of the prophet(Saw)?

What does Islam say about parents apologising to children.
I posted a thread previously about differences in cultures. Again, I am part of 2 cultures, and based on 1 of them, parents apologising to children is a very good thing, it is considered setting a good example and it teaches the child manners and also respecting them at the same time if the parent does something wrong and apologies to the child.
The other culture I am part of considers this to be almost sin like, i.e. a parent never ever apologies to a child, no matter what, even in an accident situation or even if the parent wrongs the child and realises later that s/he wronged the child.
Does Islam have any rules about this? i.e. in Islam, are parents allowed (or encouraged) to apologies to their children if the parent wrongs the child somehow. Or is it considered almost sin like for parents to apologies to children if the parent wrongs the child in some form.
For example, the parent is going from 1 room in the house to another, and accidentally bumps into a child because the parent was not looking where s/he was going. Does Islam say that the parent should apologies, or does Islam that the parent should never apologies to his/her child?
By saying something like "ohhh, sorry, are you OK"? 1 culture I am part of recommends this, the other culture considers this almost sin like. What does islam encourage? That parents are too high in their position as a parent to apologies to children, or parents should teach their children by apologising to them if needed to set an example?
Prefer sunni view with evidence from quran/hadith and/or fatwa.

As far as I know there are more than one reading for Quran. Some say they are 7 and others say they are 14. What does that mean? Are there more than one Quran? Which reading is the correct one and why? What is the role of Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) exactly concerning these readings?

As you know, in Islam sexual relations are allowed between spouses and possessions of the right hand, with the latter being gained from war. Is it halal for a women to voluntarily submit as a slave to a man? In this hypothetical situation a proper contract would be put in place, no coercion would take place, the potential slave would be of sound mind and treated with respect.
I haven't found anything in my research to indicate that this isn't Islamic. Thoughts?

I recently learnt that fadak was an endowment to fatima by the prophet of Islam and abu bakr confiscated it as per twelver
Fadak came under prophet/muslims in 628 CE.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conquest_of_Fadak
Zaynab bint Muhammad died in 629 CE.
Umm kulsum bint Muhammad died in 630 CE.
Twelver say fadak was endowment and not inheritance.
Even if it's assumed if this is endowment are we accepting that prophet did injustice to zaynab and umm kulthum by not gifting them anything? Is this a slander on the prophet of Islam?
I believe quran orders the parents to be just and equal in giving gifts to children.
