Masha Allah I love art and drawing as my favourite hobby and drawing all kind of things (halal ofc). And I am getting a lot of comments from my teachers at school to take art for gcse and I am also considering to do so.
However I’m not sure if I should because some of it would involve drawing haram things (faces, animals, surrealistic artwork and etc…) please could you kindly suggest what I should do and give a few details as why. Thanks very much
May Allah S.W.T guide us all

What does doing the sunnah have to do with loving the prophet? (Sunni View)
I don't understand what doing the sunnah has to do with loving Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

I don't understand what doing the sunnah has to do with loving Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). After all, we do our deeds for Allah's sake and not for Prophet Muhammad's sake (peace be upon him). From my understanding of Islam, a classic example of not loving the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is not following the Sunnah. However, it seems to contradict doing things for Allah's sake and this is confusing me. I just don't understand why I can't love the Prophet (peace be upon him) without doing the sunnah (if that's true).

I am not a muslim, so I apologize for any mistake I might make while writing this question. I have recently started reading an english translation of the Quran, and there is a recurring phrase I am not sure how to interpret: "if you only knew". It occurs in a few places in Al-Baqarah, for example here, in 2:184:
> [Fasting for] a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey [during them] – then an equal number of days [are to be made up]. And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] – a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day]. And whoever volunteers excess – it is better for him. But to fast is best for you, **if you only knew.**
(The translation here is Sahih International.)
I need help understanding what is meant by this phrase. What would change, if we knew what?

What does Islam say about renting rooms at a higher price than the owner?

We're a group of students, studying at a prestigious University, we had to shift from city campus to its permanent campus due to some new Govt. policies. Currently we're living in a rural area and have been facing various problems, but the main issue abou which I am going to request you to clarify me is that, over here two students have made such an accommodation crisis that if you need a room for living you have to take the room from them with double and sometimes tripled rent price than if you were able to take it directly from the owner of the building. For example, a room would cost 1500 bucks per month if you take it from the owner, but now you have to spend 4000 bucks (more or less) for that room monthly only because of those two students, as they have already taken those room and left us with no choice but to take rooms with that high price from them. And due to lack of adequate apartments, we have no alternatives to stay in other places or buildings as they have taken all of them and making a lot of money out of it. And we are the victims of their business.
Now my question is, what they are doing, according to the rulings of islam, is it halal or haram business?

Are the hadith which portray that having anal sex with your wife is haram, unreliable?
Do not enter your women in their behinds" (Jami at Tirmidhi-1166) "Allah will not look at a man who enters a man or a woman in the behind.” (Tirmidhi) "He who has intercourse with his wife through her anus is accursed"(Abu-Dawud) "Allah is not too shy to tell the truth” three times. “Do not have int...
Do not enter your women in their behinds"
(Jami at Tirmidhi-1166)
"Allah will not look at a man who enters a man or a woman in the behind.”
(Tirmidhi)
"He who has intercourse with his wife through her anus is accursed"(Abu-Dawud)
"Allah is not too shy to tell the truth” three times. “Do not have intercourse with women in their back passages"
(Ibn Majah and Musnad Ahmed)
Do other scholars consider these narrators reliable? Are those who judged these narrators as weak narrators, incorrect?
It doesn't make sense to just accept hadith as authentic if scholars have said certain narrators in the chain are reliable? Are there known reliable hadith which have unreliable narrators?
Citing the opinion of scholars who say it's wrong, as an argument for it being wrong, isn't really an argument.
The following website linked here, in my opinion is trash and is flat incorrect about how they interpret the Qur'anic verse about entering your wives as you wish, being about anal sex. But there's a lot of valid arguments here regarding the hadith in question - I am unsure if they accurately portrayed the thoughts of the scholars in here.

I don't say these thoughts out loud and I try not to think about it, but sometimes I forget that I am in the toilet. Q: Are these thoughts sinful and do they fall under the category of kufr? The fact is that I suffer from terrible waswas about whether I have committed kufr or not?

I'm a 26 years old girl from a middle class family. My parents are careless about my marriage. They don’t want me to get married fearing that I might not provide for them. They also make an excuse saying we don’t have money. If a guy marries you without anything then we can allow you. Also, they want to live with me forever. I don’t have any problem with that but how can I find such a guy? Isn’t it my parents duty? I was raised in a conservative environment. I can't even talk to guys properly. How can I find a man for me? If I talk about this, my mother calls me in various names that I'm shameless and that's why I want to get married. She also curses me saying I'm not grateful and I will never find happiness and success in life and I'll go to jahannam. They are not fulfilling their duty. Moreover they are cursing me. What can I do? I'm also afraid of her curses as mother's prayers are always answered. I fear that maybe I will never be successful as my mother is cursing me. But I'm a human too and sometimes I get a mental breakdown and I keep shouting. Later on I regret and cry. I also developed OCD according to a psychiatrist.
N.B: My parents don’t bear my expenses. I earn and contribute to my family.

Couple of modern day scholars like ibn utheymeen and albani say the aal of Muhammad (saw) includes the righteous scholars and sincere muslims.
When we say aal of prophet muhammad (saw) it means ahlul bayt.
Since we have 2 reports regarding stirctly adhering to ***Quran and sunnah*** and ***Quran and ahlul bayt***.
Does the report adhere to Quran and ahlul bayt ***EXPLAINS*** adhere to Quran and sunnah. hence ultimately the main question
***Do any scholars opine sunnah reports explain other sunnah reports***?

I was an introvert kid. My upbringing was quite regular kinda desi. Just like we have in Pakistan. Also my family is Islamic. Sometime I question about Islam and they would just shut my mouth. I'm 22, and while living in a third world country I don't feel good here. I sometimes get depressed, anxious, having an anxiety is common. I don't take any medicines and I don't have any family support in this regard. No one is there to support me. No one listens me and this thing affects my relationship with my siblings and parents. I sometimes misbehave them unintentionally. I used to feel ashamed while doing this with them, I always said sorry. But now, it's like they would answer harshly and negatively and it's like I don't regret that much after misbehaving with them. My family says there's no point of being depressed or sad in Islam. Is that true? Those who feel depressed and anxious aren't Allah's favourite people because they've said this. I'm educated I know things but I want an islamic perspective on this. what Islam says about depression? And how can we get rid of it? My mental health is just destroyed and my physio health is determined day by day. I'm feeling sick almost on every day. Whenever I'm around my family, it's exhausting and want to escape from them.
