In the Qu'ran Allah says: >And of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction. Qur'an 51:49 However not every creature procreates or reproduces through male and female sexual relationship. So where's my misunderstanding of the aya, if any, exist?

in Youtube a sheikh told a story about conversation between Adam AS and Allah The conversation goes following. He Said My LORD Did You Not Create Me With Your Own Two Hands? And ALLAH Said, Yes He Said Did You Not Breathe Into Me The Breath Of Life And Cause Me To Live? And ALLAH Says, Yes Did You Not When I Sneezed, Say YARHAMUK ALLAH "MAY ALLAH HAVE MERCY ON YOU" Yes I Did Say That Then ADAM (A.S) Asked A Very Wise Question To ALLAH (S.W.T) That Explains Us He Said When You Created Me And You Placed Me In That Garden And You Told Me Not To Eat From That Tree Didn't You Already Know I Was Gonna Eat From It? And See The Wisdom Of ADAM (A.S) Didn't You Know I Was Gonna Eat From That Tree You See ADAM (A.S) Understood That ALLAH Knew Before Creating Anything, That He Was Gonna Create ADAM (A.S) He Was Gonna Put Him In The Garden And Him And His Wife And They Were Gonna Eat From That Tree Even Though They Were Told Not To Do So, ALLAH Knew So ALLAH Said, Yes l Knew You Were Going To Do It So ADAM (A.S) Said Then Can You Not Forgiven Me For That, And Put Me Back In That Garden One Day? And ALLAH Said, Yes And He Taught Nim The Very Famous Words My Lord I Have Wronged My Own Soul And If You Do Not Forgive Me And Have Mercy On Me, Surely I Will Be One Of The Losers This conversation supposed to be in tafsir ibn kathir, tafsir of (Qur'an 7:23) But i checked and can't find the same conversation as in YouTube. **Do anyone know where this conversation is from?**

> And I will mislead them, and I will arouse in them [sinful] desires, and **I will command them so they will slit the ears of cattle**, and I will command them so they will change the creation of Allah." And whoever takes Satan as an ally instead of Allah has certainly sustained a clear loss. -- Qur'an 4:119 This makes me wonder why slitting the ears of cattle has any importance. It's certainly not something I could envisage being tempted to do, no matter how persuasive Satan is. **Question**: What is the significance of slitting the ears of cattle in Qur'an 4:119? Tafsir write: > ...surely I will command them and they will cut up the cattle’s ears and this was done to the she-camels they called bahā’ir. -- Tafsir al-Jalalayn > > ...and surely I will command them and they will cut the cattle's ears, what is known as the Bahirah. -- Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs So perhaps this is an historical thing. (It doesn't seem related to Bahira .)

I mean fighting for the ridda wars at least seems obvious. People have refused to pay Zakat and became against the Muslim rulers by for example following the false prophets like Musailimah and Sajjah. But what is the correct justification (or historical background) for attacking 'Iraq? If these were preventive strikes, so how did the Muslims come to know about any attack or conspiracy? If not what was the motivation? I wonder if jizya played a role... Especially when one reads that many sahaba have became rich.

Think of a situation where a Muslim undergoes a baptism in a church in order to make Christians think that he's converting to Christianity (maybe he's doing some undercover work). But in reality, he is still a Muslim. Would that be shirk? Would that make him an apostate? I read that from the Islamic perspective, a baptism will have no effect on your faith. You still remain a Muslim. So I don't expect a baptism to be shirk if the intention is to make Christians think he is converting to Christianity.

i believe its OK because its not real and unreal drawings and that it doesn't make me want to commit zinah. i have read somewhere it is haram if it makes you want to commit zinah is that right and is it OK to watch hentai and such?

If someone washed a dog in a bath tub and this bath tub was cleaned using bleach and a sponge then this same sponge was used to clean another shower, is this second shower classed as najis?

My husband said in text msg that ‘I m giving you my first divorce’ it was 6 months back. We didn’t meet in this period and he didn’t say he took it back. And again after 4 months he said to me ‘I m happy to divorce you’ So it means I have got the divorce already ? And I can remarry according to sharia as my court case is still pending decision.

I do not believe in dragons the Quran never mentions dragons (MSI GRAPHICS CARD) but I want this gaming pc with a gpu they had a dragon and I realized it but I have doubts that this is haram and shirk and I would like to know if this is permissible I do not worship them btw.

Recently I have been suffering from waswas ( whispers ). Am having some disturbing thoughts. However usually I am unable to tell if they come from my own brain or from waswas. For example , This morning there was a small patch ( it was barely identifiable and it had dried very well so could barely see it ) on my underpants which I assume to be either water that I used for istinja the previous night or wadhi or madhi ) . It was unlikely that it was mani because the quantity was somewhat small, it didn't have a strong smell ( I don't know what mani smells like ) beside other signs ( my private part wasn't feeling sticky or anthing didn't seem to have come out andate dried on my private part or I could still get an erection - if you release mani you can't get an erecting for some time ) . In the morning I quickly dismissed that the patch was water or something else, probably not mani. However by midday the thought of the small patch I had seen began to haunt me and during my prayers I wasn't concentrating much and I was always thinking like what if I am in Janabah ? All my prayers are invalid :( I have this internal feeling that I am actually pure but when I think of prayer or other worship I feel impure though that feels like a wrong thought but I can't dismiss it. I initially assumed that to be waswas so I ignored it and prayed without ghusl but now it's late in the day and I feel like it must have been my own thoughts and my brain was putting up a logical argument although i doubt this too. How to identify waswas and our own thoughts separately ? So that we can act upon each accordingly . And are my prayers for the day invalid ? Jazakallhu Khair

A hadith in sahih Bukhari says- > The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Authority of ruling will remain with Quraish, even if only two of them remained." > >حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لا يَزَالُ هَذَا الأَمْرُ فِي قُرَيْشٍ، مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهُمُ اثْنَانِ ‏"‏‏ . > >‏ > Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 3501 In-book reference : Book 61, Hadith 11 USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 4, Book 56, Hadith 705 Does that mean a caliph can be only from a qurayish tribe?

Can someone shed some light on this hadith: > Ubayy b. Ka‘b told that he heard God’s messenger say, “If anyone > proudly asserts his descent in the manner of the pre-Islamic people, > tell him to bite his father’s penis, and do not use a euphemism.” > > Mishkat al-Masabih Vol 2, 1021

wouldn't something unchanging be inert?if he has eternal action,then that would mean eternal infinite regress of events in the past wouldn't it?Imam ghazali speaks against this. also how can his knowledge be omniscient if its impossible to know a true infinity of events in the future?since a true rather than potential infinity doesn't exist?

>And if you are in doubt about what We have revealed to Our servant, then produce a chapter like these, and call your witnesses apart from God, if you are truthful. — Verse 2:23 . However, humans have failed to fulfill this challenge . So, what qualities do the Surahs have that have prevented mankind from meeting this challenge?

**What does Islam exclusively say about human sacrifice? By exclusively, I mean excluding what is already said in Judaism and Christianity.** So, I guess anything newly added to the texts during or after Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

I am talking about muslims from all ummahs: Musa, Isa, Ibrahim, Muhammad, and all prophets Allah sent. Do most go to jannah without jahannam?

According to Islamic teachings, is it permissible for Muslim women to pursue a career as astronauts and participate in space exploration missions while observing hijab like Nora AlMatrooshi ? Are there any religious limitations that should be taken into account regarding the role of women in space travel, and what guidance does Islam provide on this matter? The same kind of security measures is taken there whether she is a male or female. In a hadith our prophet Pbuh said: > If you live long enough, you will see a young woman traveling from Al-Hirah to circumambulate the Kaaba, fearing no one but Allah > > Sahih Al-Bukhari Also, Egypt's Dar Al-Iftaa says: > The opinion appropriate for fatwa at present is that it is permissible > and there is no objection to a woman traveling alone by the various > safe routes and means of travel via their venues such as airports, > harbors, and the like. This applies whether she is traveling for > something obligatory, recommended, or permissible. > > English Fatwa Number: 6128 So, can a Muslim woman pursue a career as an astronaut and go to space? Will this be halal?

A pilgramage to Mecca is one of the five pillars of Islam , considered mandatory for both men and women. However, Mecca is in Saudi Arabia, a country which enforces strict rules on the behaviour of women. One such rule in Saudi Arabia is that a woman is not allowed to travel without a husband or a mahram . It is, however, possible that a woman might have no husband nor (living) mahrams. **Q**: How can an unmarried women with no mahram complete her pilgramage to Mecca?
