Is the Hadith describing lunar and solar eclipses as signs of Mahdi's arrival authentic?
I recently read the following hadith regarding the arrival of the Mahdi. >اِنَّ لِمَهْدِيَّنَا آيَتَيْنِ لَمْ تَكُوْنَا مُنْذُ خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، تَنْكَسِفُ الْقَمَرُ لأَوَّلِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، وَ تَنْكَسِفُ الشَّمْسُ فِي النِّصْفِ مِنْهُ، وَلَمْ تَكُوْنَا مُنْذُ خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ...

And these signs have not appeared since God created the Heavens and the Earth.” (Sunan al-Daraqutni, Kitab al-Eidain) According to Islamqa, the hadith is fabricated but i cannot find any other source claiming this. Is this hadith authentic at all?

Assalamu aleykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh! Just as the title suggests, today i unfortunately couldn’t perform a Maghrib prayer due to me being outside of my home, let me elaborate: In my country women are mostly prohibited from praying in mosques, yes, it’s a country where more than 70% of the population are muslim, yet historically it just happened to be like this. Thankfully, in the recent years newly built mosques allow women in as they finally started constructing masjids that also include separate areas for women. I kind of went off topic, but what i meant to say is that i couldn’t have prayed Maghrib in a masjid. Then i also asked my teacher because of whose classes i missed Maghrib a few times already if i could just pray it inside of our driving school, to which i’ve received a rejection. So please, tell me what to do in this situation. I know that there are a few conditions as to how one can make up missed salah if one is to do it unintentionally, but as you can see, this scenario doesn’t apply to this rule. P.S: I’d love to skip these driving lessons during these blessed days of Ramadan, but i already did skip 2/3 of my weekly classes for a few weeks straights and since my graduation there is nearing, i am not allowed to skip any more, so please, advise me on what to do. At the time of me writing this, i still haven’t prayed Isha but i do have more than enough time to do so and thus i wanted to receive advice before i perform it.

Are these two ahadith about guardian marriage contradicting each other?

I know a woman should take her guardian's will for marriage before proposing to marry someone and if her guardian refuses her right to marry then his guardianship becomes void and that she can choose someone else from her relatives preferably on her father side to act as her guardian, such as uncle, grandfather, mother or brother. Above all else, it is required for her first wedding to have a Guardian's permission as mentioned the the following hadiths. > “There is no marriage except with a walee” and > “Any woman who gets married without the knowledge of her walee, her marriage is invalid.” However, there is another hadith in Sahih Al-Bukhari which states > Sahih Al-Bukhari Volume 6, Book 61, Number 547 : Narrated by Sahl bin Sad A lady came to the Prophet and declared that she had decided to offer herself to Allah and His Apostle. The Prophet said, "I am not in need of women." A man said (to the Prophet) "Please marry her to me." The Prophet said (to him), "Give her a garment." The man said, "I cannot afford it." The Prophet said, "Give her anything, even if it were an iron ring." The man apologized again. The Prophet then asked him, "What do you know by heart of the Qur'an?" He replied, "I know such-and-such portion of the Qur'an (by heart)." The Prophet said, "Then I marry her to you for that much of the Qur'an which you know by heart." This hadith is mentioned at several other places as well and something seems fundamentally wrong here. The prophet SAW didn't care to ask her about her guardian's consent, instead he married her right away, acting as both a Qazi and a Wali. I know a Qazi can act as a wali in circumstances where a rightful wali is absent, but isn't it a duty of a Qazi to inquire if there is a Wali present or not? These hadith seem to be contradicting each other. **Question:** Are these two ahadith in Bukhari about guardian marriage contradicting each other? *If not, explain why they aren't!*

**Background**
I am currently in a discussion with someone who argues that Islam worsened women’s rights in Arabia. I have dealt with most of his objections, except this one: **Argument**
Before Islam, Khadija[R.A] was able to Marry Muhammad( PBUH ) of her own will, however after Islam, a woman who arranged her own marriage was considered an Adulteress : > It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that: the Messenger of Allah said: “No woman should arrange the marriage of another woman, and no woman should arrange her own marriage. The adulteress is the one who arranges her own marriage.” Sunan Ibn Majah 1882 Hence, Islam worsened women’s rights in Arabia. so my Question is, **Were Arabian women able and allowed to Arrange their own marriages before Islam?** Thx

According to [TheReligionofPeace.com](http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/017-polygamy.htm) : > The Quran also gives devout Muslim men license to capture women and use them as sex slaves, lest four wives prove insufficient. As evidence, it provides the following verses (among others): > [Qur'an (33:50)](http://quran.com/33/50) - ***"O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those (slaves) whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee"*** This is one of several personal-sounding verses "from Allah" narrated by Muhammad - in this case allowing himself a virtually unlimited supply of sex partners. Others are restrained to four wives, but may also have sex with any number of slaves, as the following verse make clear: > > [Qur'an (23:5-6)](http://quran.com/23/5-6) - ***"..who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess..."*** This verse permits the slave-owner to have sex with his slaves. See also Qur'an (70:29-30). > > [Qur'an (4:24)](http://quran.com/4/24) - ***"And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess."*** Even sex with married slaves is permissible. > > [Bukhari (62:137)](http://www.cmje.org/religious-texts/hadith/bukhari/062-sbt.php#007.062.137) - An account of women taken as slaves in battle by Muhammad's men after their husbands and fathers were killed. The woman were raped with Muhammad's approval. (Many other verses referenced at the links above). Is this an accurate understanding of these verses? If so, is this behavior still practiced and/or permitted? And if not, why the change?

Humans Given The Choice of Free Will

I think I first heard in talk by Dr. Zakir Naik that us humans were given a choice of free will (perhaps between free will and being an angel). Obviously, we chose free will. To me, this made absolute sense: Allah would never leave a loophole where an individual who is about to go to Hell may say "Oh Allah! I did not ask for any of this!" To my knowledge there are two verses in the Quran that are related to this matter. The first one is indirectly related: > **And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, > [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have > testified." [This] - lest you should say on the day of Resurrection, > "Indeed, we were of this unaware." [7:172]** However, *I think,* the following verse is related to my question: > **We offered Our Trust (Our deputation) to the heavens, to the earth, and to the mountains, but they could not bear this burden and were > afraid to accept it. Mankind was able to accept this offer but he was > unjust to himself and ignorant of the significance of this Trust. > [33:72]** Could this verse be talking about the the choice of free will? (And, of course, all the responsibilities that comes with it, and that is why mountains did not accept it, and that is why mankind is considered unjust to himself and ignorant about the Truth.) **My Questions:** 1. What is the scholarly view about this verse (33:72)? 2. With respect to my original question and Dr. Zakir Naik's comment: Is there another Quranic verse or hadith (if not, any view from the great scholars of the past) that would unambiguously shed light on this topic (that mankind offered a choice between free will and something else)?

Athar of Umar about employing non-muslims
It is narrated: >Imaam Ahmad reported that Abu Moosa al-Ash’ari (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “I said to ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him). ‘I have a Christian scribe.’ He said, ‘What is wrong with you, may Allaah strike you dead!

Have you not heard the words of Allaah (interpretation of the meaning), “O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as awliya’ (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but awliya’ to one another…” [al-Maa’idah 5:51]”? Why do you not employ a haneef [i.e., a Muslim]?’ I said, ‘O Ameer al-Mu’mineen, I benefit from his work and he keeps his religion to himself.’ He said, ‘I will never honour them when Allaah has humiliated them, and I will never bring them close to me when Allaah has expelled them from His mercy.’” What is the authenticity of this narration? Likewise, if it is authentic, isn't Umar RA being a bit harsh? He simply employed him as a scribe nothing else.
