Lie or Hide the sins?
I know this is a different question but I hope someone has an answer for it. In Islam, it’s a sin to lie. At the same time, it’s a sin to expose your sins. If a person asks another person to tell them if they have done a certain sin or not, and in reality they have done it, then what should they do?...

If a person asks another person to tell them if they have done a certain sin or not, and in reality they have done it, then what should they do? They can either say the truth which would mean exposing their sins. Or they can say that they haven’t done the sin which would mean that they are lying.

Sources for Abraham's Link to Safa and Marwa
I'm looking for which Islamic sources explain the story of Abraham, Hagar, and Ishmael's affair with Safa and Marwa. Online, every site I can find tells the story of Abraham leaving Hagar and Ishmael, and her running back and forth 7 times, but there aren't any sources cited. Thanks

Will Jews go to Jannah?
Although they don't believe in Muhammad (pbuh) as a prophet, they still strongly believe in monotheism and some Jews offer daily prayers (3 times a day if I remember correctly).

Is it haram for muslims with disabilities to have children?
my name is Alessandro and I'm a 25 year old boy, I've been a muslim for about a year. I have a doubt that I'm not sure I'll find the answer in the Holy Scriptures.

my name is Alessandro and I'm a 25 year old boy, I've been a muslim for about a year. I have a doubt that I'm not sure I'll find the answer in the Holy Scriptures.
I think it's a difficult question, I haven't found any answers on the internet.
I have severe deafness and it gets worse every year as does my nearsightedness. And not only that, i can get sick easily but that doesn't stop me from working hard.
I can work hard to support my family, so i would like to get married and have children.
My question is, can i have children? I may be able to raise them with the help of my wife and family. But I fear to anger Allah and fall from His Grace.
I think that's a legitimate question to ask, because people have always looked down on people with disabilities. And so often families are ashamed to have children with problems because they are regarded as a disgrace from God. I hope to get an answer...

What is the real meaning and connotation of 'Jihad?'
From my days in a Christian seminary, I was taken to understand that there is a "lesser jihad" (the term most Americans assume is meant) and a "greater jihad" (which is the struggle against one's own sin.) While the term has a clear connotation when used by non-Muslims in the United States, what is...
From my days in a Christian seminary, I was taken to understand that there is a "lesser jihad" (the term most Americans assume is meant) and a "greater jihad" (which is the struggle against one's own sin.)
While the term has a clear connotation when used by non-Muslims in the United States, what is the real connotation of the term when used in Islamic circles? Is the first reaction really the "greater" or "lesser" jihad, and what is the practical understanding for "the man in the street?"

Will humans bow in prostration to Allah when they see Jahanam for the first time on judgement day?
Is it true that on judgement day, when every soul is able to see Jahanam for the first time, that everyone will bow in prostration to Allah.

As-salamu alaykum
According to wikipedia, this means "peace", as in "I won't harm you". Words, translated, sometimes change. From what I have gathered, salam does not only include "peace", but also security from third parties, protection. Is it true?

Number of people who observed the act of Ishmail sacrifice
When Prophet Ibrahim was going to sacrifice Ismail at the hilltop, were there any people/observers who watched the whole incident and saw the replacement of Ismail with a lamb sent from Allah SWT? If not, then how come this incident came to be known by the rest of the people at that time?

I know normal life insurance is Haram (forbidden) which is provided by traditional interest/Riba/gambling based banking company.
But if life insurance provided by any Islamic bank then will it be halal where there is not interest/riba in it?
I found most of the Islamic life insurance company run based on **Takaful method (which means may be mutual risk sharing or guaranty to each other)**. those type of insurance provider are saying its Islamic shariah compliant.
But i am confused because i found on internet any kind of life insurance is **haram because of uncertainty or try to ensure something(specially life or my family after life) by the help anything other than Allah (or something like that) (where Allah is the one who can ensure anything and who know the future and who provide the living/riz'k and to whom only we need to rely on)**
So can anyone please tell me about it in **details(including the openion about Takaful method)** with authentic opinion(from Quran, Sahih Hadith, Islamic Research, opinion of well know Arab Sheikh or expert in related field etc.)

From early times, I knew or learned that after death, one would remain in grave (punishment in grave for sins or otherwise) until he/she is resurrected on the **Day of Reckoning**.
However, recently I came to know about concept of **Barzakh** (as seen here ) which they say is temporary place after death and one would remain there before the Judgement Day.
Question: I have confusion where will we be after death ? **Grave or Barzakh** according to Quran/Hadith ?
Thanks in advance.

What is the Islamic perspective on space colonization? and do you guys believe that Islam would spread to other planets in space?Furthermore, where would Islam have prayed to the sun if the Earth had been completely destroyed? and do Muslims believe that there are other living forms? If Muslims learned that other living things exist, would their faith be altered? And how would the government operate if Islam were to take control of a space civilization? Would it adhere to the same Islamic principles or would it adopt new ones? Since I write science fiction, I'm interested in learning more about Islam. I've been studying Islam for the past year, so these kinds of questions spark my interest.
