Then We sent to her Our **angel**, ˹Gabriel,˺ appearing before her as a man, perfectly formed. > >**Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran** 19:17 In verse 3:42 is mentioned that *angels* talked to Maryam talked (more than one). But in verse 19:17 it is mentioned that *angle* talked to Maryam (one angle). So can you explain this.

Do Islamic pre-modern scholars think the trinity is polytheism or not?
So my question is, is it right for a sunni to deem of christians who believe in the trinity as polytheists? what scholars agree with this? is there a consensus?

Is joining Maghrib and Isha salah together everyday for 2 months allowed?
In summer, around May 20 to July 20, **the twilight in the sky doesn't disappear or disappears very late, after midnight.** It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-‘Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: > The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: > >...
In summer, around May 20 to July 20, **the twilight in the sky doesn't disappear or disappears very late, after midnight.** It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-‘Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: > The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: > > "The time for Maghrib is when the sun sets, so long as the twilight has not disappeared. The time for 'Isha' is so long as half of the night has not passed." > > Narrated by Muslim, 612 . The question that people would ask is if the twilight doesn't disappear, **when is Isha time?** A hafiz told me that some people say you don't pray Isha at all, but this is blasphemy. He used the following verse and other evidence to support that you don't miss out Isha: > "Guard strictly (five obligatory) As-Salawat (the prayers) especially the middle Salat (i.e., the best prayer – 'Asr)." > > (Al-Baqarah 2:238) **He said that if you don't pray Isha at all, then there will be no middle salah as the order will be: Fajr, Zuhr, Asr and Maghrib, and Asr is the most important out of all of them.** What we see in salah timetables are **estimated time for Isha, but we do not know, precisely so that will not be reliable** as in some countries, **the twilight never disappears or disappears very late that which there is not enough time to pray Isha.** Also, it is makrooh to pray Isha after midnight. **Ramadan is in the summer. This is why Taraweeh is prayed quite late.** Also, in these countries, Suhoor is quite early. An example the hafiz told me was that in Norway, Maghrib is at 12:10, and Suhoor is at 12:40, meaning there are only 30 minutes to pray, so the people pray Maghrib and pray Isha straight after. **The problem is that student, teachers, etc. would be strongly affected by this.** They would have to pray Taraweeh and get back home around 12, and then they will have to wake up for Suhoor at 2, pray Fajr at around 3:20, then wake up for school at six etc. This hafiz told me that you should join Maghrib and Isha together, providing that you sleep straight after as you can stay up and could have prayed Isha later. This hadith supports it: > Ibn' Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) joined Zuhr and 'Asr, and Maghrib and 'Isha,' in Madeenah when there was no fear and no rain. According to the hadeeth of Wakee,' he said: I said to Ibn' Abbaas: Why did he do that? He said: So that his ummah would not be subjected to hardship, i.e., so that they would not face any difficulty. > > (Muslim 705 ) **Question:** Is joining Maghrib and Isha salah together every day for two months allowed? I'm asking this question as this hadith below says: > The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said when asked which deed is most beloved to Allaah: > > "Prayer offered on time." > > Narrated by al-Bukhaari (527) and Muslim (85) . And if you keep joining up the prayer, you won't get the best deed. Also, this article says that Hanafis don't allow joining up prayers except in 2 cases, and I mainly follow Hanafi madhab. Still, the hafiz also supports Hanafi madhab, but he won't follow the rule for that.

What does it mean that The Throne of Allah being on the water?
It is mentioned in various parts of the Quran for example the verse [11:7] says "He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days - and His Throne was over the Waters - that He might try you, which of you is best in conduct."

Does Qur'an 7:133 imply there were five plagues of Egypt?
Christianity describes [ten plagues of Egypt][1]: (a) water into blood, (b) frogs, (c) lice, (d) mixture of wild animals or flies, (e) diseased livestock, (f) boils, (g) thunderstorm of hail and fire, (h) locusts, (i) darkness for three days, and (j) death of firstborn. In contrast, the Qur'an says:...

In contrast, the Qur'an says: > So We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people. > Qur'an 7:133 This difference motivates the question: **Question**: Does Qur'an 7:133 imply there were five plagues of Egypt? Qur'an 17:101 says *We had certainly given Moses nine evident signs*, but it seems likely this also includes miracles like his glowing hand and his staff. In the context of Prophet Musa, we also have: > So each We seized for his sin; and among them were those upon whom We sent a storm of stones, and among them were those who were seized by the blast [from the sky], and among them were those whom We caused the earth to swallow, and among them were those whom We drowned. And Allah would not have wronged them, but it was they who were wronging themselves. > Qur'an 29:40 Some (or all) of them don't seem like "plagues" (which would ordinarily be interpreted as a widespread catastrophe). They seem more localized and targeted. I'm not sure if these count.

According to [this answer](https://islam.stackexchange.com/a/46354/55666) on Islam StackExchange, it states that: > it is also possible for jinn (Muslims and disbelievers) to manifest themselves as human beings This leads me to ask whether it is possible for evil jinn/demons to disguise themselves as angels too. I've asked ChatGPT this before as well and it said that the Quran and the hadith don't explicitly mention such a thing, so I just want to confirm it here as ChatGPT isn't always the most reliable when it comes to topics like these.

I am scraping data from public available web pages,it can be copied manually but instead a bot saves the time & the effort. - **Is web automation haram?** for example bot login to my account ,post some data on my account. usually it is against website terms of use too,But is it fair!? I found arabic fatwa on Islamweb which says that web scraping is allowed because the data are publicaly available,the fatwa did not mention anything about terms of use ,so maybe the chekh doesn't know the whole story?or i am just too incredulous . sorry for any language mistake.

If it is, then why did Allah give me a couple dreams of doing that stuff with my anime crushes? And what do I say/do to ask for forgiveness??

There are a large number of versions of the below-listed hadith relating to the coccyx/tailbone which are all attributed to Abu Hurairah . **Question**: Are there narration chains for the coccyx/tailbone hadith that don't go through Abu Hurairah? In a recent answer to https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/35701/17163, the authenticity of this hadith was questioned. ----- List of ahadith at [sunnah.com](http://sunnah.com) : > The Messenger of Allah said: 'The whole of the son of Adam will be consumed by the earth, except for the tailbone, from which he was created and from which he will be created anew.' -- Abu Hurairah, Sunan an-Nasa'i 2077 (sunnah.com ) > > Every son of Adam will be devoured by the earth with the exception of the tail-bone from which he was created and from which he will be reconstituted. -- Abu Hurairah, Sunan Abi Dawud 4743 (sunnah.com ) > > The earth would consume all of the son of Adam except his tailbone. From it he was created, and from it he will be recreated (on the Day of Resurrection). -- Abu Huraira, Sahih Muslim 2955 b (sunnah.com ) > > ...Then Allah would cause the water to, descend from the sky and they (people) will sprout like vegetable. The only thing in a man which would not decay would be one bone (the tailbone) from which the whole frame would be reconstituted on the Day of Resurrection. -- Abu Huraira, Sahih Muslim 2955 a (sunnah.com ) > > ...The Prophet added: 'Everything of the human body will perish except the last coccyx bone (end part of the spinal cord), and from that bone Allah will reconstruct the whole body. Then Allah will send down water from the sky and people will grow like green vegetables'." -- Abu Hurairah [Al- Bukhari and Muslim] (sunnah.com ) > > “There is no part of man that will not disintegrate, apart from a single bone at the base of the coccyx, from which he will be recreated on the Day of Resurrection.” -- Abu Hurairah, [Grade : Sahih (Darussalam)] (sunnah.com ) > > ... "Then (after this period) Allah will send water from the sky and then the dead bodies will grow like vegetation grows, There is nothing of the human body that does not decay except one bone; that is the little bone at the end of the coccyx of which the human body will be recreated on the Day of Resurrection." (See Hadith No. 338) -- Abu Huraira, Narrated Al-A'mash (sunnah.com ) > > The Prophet said, "Between the two blowing of the trumpet there will be forty." The people said, "O Abu Huraira! Forty days?"

I refused to reply and added: Everything of the human body will decay except the coccyx bone (of the tail) and from that bone Allah will reconstruct the whole body. -- Abu Huraira (sunnah.com ) > > Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The earth eats all of the son of Adam except the coccyx.

Assalam Walaikum Everyone, hope everyone is doing well Alhamdulilah. I guess let me start from the beginning. Ever since I was in middle school pornography has affected my life negatively and especially my Iman. These past few months my Iman is completely gone to the point that I don't read Quran or pray Salah and my addiction has been sky-high. Earlier today, my urges came over me and I participated in giving and receiving oral sex to another woman (a prostitute), not vaginal (I'm a male). Afterwards, I feel disgusted and ashamed of what I have done, and I'm scared that I have committed a major sin. I now plan on praying salah and reading Quran, but most of all cutting pornography out of my life (it will be difficult, wish me luck). Please let me know if what I have done is major Zina or Makrooh!

Are there any other differences between performing sunnah and fard prayers?

I don't know much about this book; it seems it has six chapters, the first being Surah Al-Fatiha from the Qur'an, and the last containing the names of all 40-50+ of their imams (ending with the living imam). How exactly was this book compiled, and does it change or remain unchanged throughout the ages?
