Why Al-Maidah verse 5:90 described Satan like a real person?
Since childhood, I have been taught about the Satan. Satan is a creature of the unseen and its task is to tempt humans to deny Allah. They're the real enemy to all humans. But when I read Surah Al-Maidah verse 5:90, it mentions among the deeds of Satan, drinking alcohol, gambling, idol worship, and...
Since childhood, I have been taught about the Satan. Satan is a creature of the unseen and its task is to tempt humans to deny Allah. They're the real enemy to all humans.
But when I read Surah Al-Maidah verse 5:90, it mentions among the deeds of Satan, drinking alcohol, gambling, idol worship, and seeking omens. These are all actions performed by humans, not by unseen beings, let alone those whose specific task is to tempt the mankind.
So is that mean the Satan is actually referred to real humans physically, and the actual meaning of the clear enemy (mubeen) is the visible enemy in front of our eyes, which humans can clearly and distinctly recognize?

Salam. I am a student who needs an internship and it’s hard to get one in my field but for now it looks like I can land a potential internship at Amnesty and they are known for constantly and actively supporting LGBTQ among other haram things. The main reason I want this internship is because they do a lot for the genocide in Palestine when it comes to spreading info and researching, and this is what I wanna work on with them (or other halal Muslim-related problems). An internship is also not payed work so I’m working for free. Is it haram to work here for an internship, or even do payed work (if I ever get a job offer here) if it’s about issues like the Palestinian genocide?

Why didn't the Prophet fight his enemies during the early years of Islam?
When the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) became prophet, he did not actively fight the Meccans until he immigrated to Medina after three years. Afterwards, he had multiple wars with the Meccans (e.g. the [Battle of Badr][1], the [battle of Uhud][2] and the [Battle of the Trench][3]). Why did the Prophet wai...
When the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) became prophet, he did not actively fight the Meccans until he immigrated to Medina after three years. Afterwards, he had multiple wars with the Meccans (e.g. the Battle of Badr , the battle of Uhud and the Battle of the Trench ).
Why did the Prophet wait three years to battle them, while during this time the Meccans were hostile to the Prophet and the Muslims and killed many of them during these three years?

Just before creation of prophet Adam. Allah sent an angel to collect mud from different parts of earth, hence we have people with different skin colors. The weak among mankind became racists.
Since jinn are created from smokeless fire can it be construed that racism is absent in jinnkind?
Also Allah doesn't describe hur al ayn as fair complexioned, He says they are beautiful thereby negating the "superiority" of fair complexion or light skin.

Can beautiful males wear niqab?
In Quran we can see yusuf (a.s) was very beautiful and was attacked by his master's wife. Now we can see news report of women raping men, so can beautiful males wear niqaab to prevent getting attacked by women ?

This question
https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/40036/did-earlier-prophets-also-travel-on-buraq
tells implicitly that earlier prophets do isra (journey by land)
There is no further information whether isra was succeeded by meraj in their times.
Can the following passage in the report recorded by bukhari be construed as proof for meraj of prophet moses in his time?
> Moses said (to Allah), "O Lord! I thought that none would be raised up above me."

> Anas (ra) relates that the Prophet (saw) said, “I was brought the Buraq, a tall white beast, bigger than a donkey, smaller than a mule. It could place his hooves at the farthest boundary of his gaze. I mounted it until I arrived at Bayt Al-Maqdis. ***I tied it at the ring where the Prophets tied it before*** (i.e. Buraq Wall or the Western Wall). I entered Masjid Al-Aqsa Sanctuary and prayed 2 rak’ah there…” (Muslim)
A longer version is available at sunnah.com .
Do we have evidences from hadith for information of travel of earlier prophets on buraq?

I have read the complete story of how Dajjal would come and rule over the whole world except for mecca and medina
It is also mentioned that these 40 days would be different then other days because the one day would be like one year, next one would be like one month, next one would be like one week and remaining 37 days would be normal days.
As it is mentioned that one day from 40 days would be like one year, **does it mean that the whole day from morning to night will complete in one year?**

Lately, horrible thoughts about Allah have started popping into my head that are even scary to say. At any moment, my voice may appear in my head insulting Allah. These thoughts cause me great pain and I sometimes think that I will enter kufr because of them.
I am afraid that this is seen as a mockery of Allah and that it takes me out of the religion. What should I do in such a situation? Am I out of the religion because of these thoughts?

Does act of creation violate tawhid?
If, in the beginning, there was nothing but God, how could God have created anything, unless God created it from himself? And if God did make creation from himself, wouldn’t that violate the oneness and unity of God by dividing God between Creator and creation?

Quran 4:59 says obey those who are in authority over you (ulil amr)
Quran 4:34 says men are incharge of women.
Further a hadith tells men are like a shepherd for his sheep.
> All of you are shepherds and every one of you is responsible for his herd. **A leader is a shepherd, a man is the shepherd over his family** and a woman is the shepherd over her husband’s house and his children. So all of you are shepherds, and every one of you is responsible for his herd (Muslim)
Since it is evident that man has authority over his household, can it be construed that ***ulil amr mentioned in 4:59 also encompasses husband/father at their capacities?***

I am a good Muslim, or so I hope. I always prayers on time, read Quran, don't listen to music, and am kind to my family and friends. However, recently I have been feeling nothing in my heart when I am reminded of Allah SWT unlike how I used to before. I feel like I'm looking for the approval of people now more than ever before. And recently I had sinned, yet I felt nothing. I still repented, of course, but I fear where I'm heading if I stay like this. I felt no guilt for the sin I committed and had to force myself to feel any sort of emotion. I really need help on this matter.

(I am not sure if this type of questions are allowed or encouraged, because it is mainly a language-related question. If not, please tell me and I delete.)
I am trying understand the second part of what Yusuf said. I am NOT asking whether Yusuf meant they were actually prostrating or not, or related discussions. To better express myself, let me give some examples in English:
1. I saw they JUMPED.
2. I saw them JUMPING.
3. I saw them as JUMPERS.
(1) is like you are describing a moment. (2) is like you describing a duration. (3) is like you are describing a job, routine, or whatever.
My questions are: as to the second part of what Yusuf said (I saw them prostrating to me) and with the examples above in mind: in how many ways could Yusuf have said what he has said, and what would they mean?

I was told initially that 2 things are infallible, Quran and the sunnah.

A. Quran.
B. Sunnah.
C. Ijma of companions (proof was given as 4:115)
When I came across a report, it made me think if ijma of ummah is infallible.
> ***Whatever the Muslims view as good is good to Allah, and whatever they view as evil is evil to Allah***.”
Source: Musnad Ahmad 3600
Since, the view of Allah is infallible, face value it appears the ijma of muslims is infallible as per report of musnad Ahmed.
Hence the main question which muslims scholars say the ijma(consensus) of Muslim ummah is infallible.
