The Quran says > O YOU who have attained to faith! Just retribution is ordained for you > in cases of killing: the free for the free, and the slave for the > slave, and the woman for the woman (Baqarah 178) Does it mean that if a slave is killed, another slave (irrespective of the murderer) is to be killed, and if a woman is killed, then another woman has to be killed in compensation. This is not applied in any Islamic country, so I am sure that I am misreading it. Kindly explain.

According the hadith below prophet Musa A.S is given the ability to talk directly with Allah A.Z.W. > حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَفِظْنَاهُ مِنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ احْتَجَّ آدَمُ وَمُوسَى، فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى يَا آدَمُ أَنْتَ أَبُونَا خَيَّبْتَنَا وَأَخْرَجْتَنَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ‏.‏ قَالَ لَهُ آدَمُ يَا مُوسَى اصْطَفَاكَ اللَّهُ بِكَلاَمِهِ، وَخَطَّ لَكَ بِيَدِهِ، أَتَلُومُنِي عَلَى أَمْرٍ قَدَّرَ اللَّهُ عَلَىَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَنِي بِأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً‏.‏ فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى، فَحَجَّ آدَمُ مُوسَى ‏"‏ ثَلاَثًا‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِثْلَهُ‏.‏ > > Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Adam and Moses argued with each other. Moses said to Adam. 'O Adam! You are our father who disappointed us and turned us out of Paradise.' Then Adam said to him, 'O Moses! Allah favored you with His talk (talked to you directly) and He wrote (the Torah) for you with His Own Hand. Do you blame me for action which Allah had written in my fate forty years before my creation?' So Adam confuted Moses, Adam confuted Moses," the Prophet (ﷺ) added, repeating the Statement three times. > > - [Sahih al Bukhari 6614](https://sunnah.com/bukhari:6614) Did the Prophet Musa A.S talk with Allah A.Z.W while on earth or by mean of angel-messengers? Also in the story of Mi‘raaj night journey Allah A.Z.W talk directly with Prophet S.A.W. While on earth, does Prophet S.A.W talk with Allah A.Z.W directly or by mean of angel-messengers?

Salam Aalaykom brothers, I have a question for all of you which I can’t seem to get my head around. I try my best not to harm others in the sight of Allah and whenever I get a new job which I am skeptical about I make dua to Allah to block it for me if it’ll harm anyone and subhan Allah it gets cut out of nowhere alHamdulIAllah. I have been doing assignments and projects for university students for the past three years in exchange for money and all was well. Then my friend told me that it’s haram and it should stop. Here was his argument: That I am harming their integrity and blocking their learning by giving them this favor. However my counter argument: isn’t it the same as doing freelance work for let’s say a company who wants a project. It is not willing to get an employee however they get an employee online to do their task for a sum of money which could be cheaper. A normal employee would be expected to learn from his work and projects.

Assalamualaikum my question is about Quotex platform that it is haram aur haram i have research about it many time but couldn't found the relevent answer many of them are saying it is haram because it involves the mechanism of beting

Are the Hadiths that say that Aisha (RA), along with the other woman, started hitting her face in grief when Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) passed away authentic? > مات رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بين سحري، ونحري وفي دولتي، لم أظلم فيه أحدا، فمن سفهي وحداثة سني أن رسول الله قبض وهو في حجري، ثم وضعت رأسه على وسادة، وقمت ألتدم مع النساء، وأضرب وجهي > >They have recounted that ‘A’ishah said, > >The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and give him peace) passed away leaning against my chest. I did not wrong anyone regarding him. It was from my weakness and the youth of my age that the Messenger of Allah was taken whilst in my lap, then I placed his head on a pillow and stood hitting myself along with the women and hitting my face. > > — [Musnad Ahmad](https://shamela.ws/book/25794/22057) - (translation from [seekersguidance.org](https://seekersguidance.org/answers/adab/how-do-we-understand-the-reaction-of-our-mother-aisha-when-the-prophet-may-allah-bless-him-and-give-him-peace-passed-away/)) and if so, how should we interpret these narrations, given that Islam prohibits such displays of mourning? I have also heard that the prohibition applies to making such actions a habitual or deliberate practice, while instinctive reactions due to overwhelming grief may not be considered sinful. Is this true?

Non Muslims say that 18:86 is in error. How do we refute this? > Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it [as if] setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found near it a people. Allah said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness." -- Qur'an 18:86

Assalamu Alaykum, I have Jummah prayer in my school alhamdulillah but Dhuhr is at 1pm right now and we do the prayer during lunch at 12:00-12:45 pm. The prayer plus the khutbah takes 30 minutes. If we were to do the Jummah at its proper time, we would miss almost half of the lesson (for reference, a period is 75 minutes). My school had already asked a local Sheikh and he said it would be permissible to pray earlier. My friends are concerned about the source. Would it be permissible to pray Jummah earlier due to our circumstance?

Salam. I am very sleepy. I prayed zuhr, made sajda sahw since i forgot what rakat i was on, then started reciting tashahud (maybe 3 or 4 words before I remembered that I was suppose to end the prayer) and then immediately made salam when I remember Did I do the right thing? I follow the salafi medhab

During sujood in the second rakat, I said Subhaana robbiyal-a'alaa, Subhaana robbiyal-a'alaa, and then in the third time of saying it I said Subhaana robbiyal-a'alaam by accident. Does that invalidate my prayer? I also did sujood sahw for that mistake.

Scholars of Islam generally claim that it is not permissible for a woman to demand alimony from her ex-Husband except in instances of child support. However, I came across this Ayah in Quran 2:241 that states: > وَلِلْمُطَلَّقَاتِ مَتَاعٌۢ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ ۖ حَقًّا عَلَى ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ > > Reasonable provisions must be made for divorced women—a duty on those > mindful ˹of Allah˺. > > Surah Al-Baqarah (2:241) The vast majority of jurists interpret this as a Mahr given to women whose dower was not specified during the time of consumation of the marriage. However, according to IslamQA , it is the opinion of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyya and Sheikh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymin that this must be given to all divorced women, even if the marriage has been consumated and the Mahr has been given. > Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: Maintenance must be given to every divorced women, even after consummation. What is the opinion of the four schools of thought and other classical Islamic scholars on this topic. Is this a one time payment or regular monthly payments akin to alimony in the West.

As you know the age to legally marry in the US is 18, and to my parents the age at which we decide my wife is 25 or later. So basically as a teenager I can't have a wife and dating is of course not allowed, so no romance with a girl at all. But, what if I had a female friend that is also a Muslim, and what if I like her, think she has a good personality, and is my type so I intend to marry her later. She knows this and also thinks I'm good partner material and wants to marry me too and openly stated so. The relationship between us would still be platonic but of course its hard to say "I wanna marry you when I can" without stepping over the line sometimes with some flirting or affection. It isn't as much affection or flirting as a couple but it is still present. Is this relationship haram?

I have done my research on the topic of Isbal (where the lower garments cover the ankles), and I would like to prevent this from happening by folding my trousers up to not cover my ankles. But here's the issue, I have read that folding your garments during Salah is totally prohibited, meanwhile if I do not fold them they will cover the ankles. What do I do in this situation? I do not have alternative garments that are not too short or too long.

There's a range of translations of Quran 54:17 ; here are some examples: > And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? -- M. M. Pickthall > We have made it easy to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? -- Wahiduddin Khan > And indeed, We have made the Qur'an easy for direction and guidance, but is there anyone who will take advice? -- Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri > We have really made this Qur'an easy (to understand)! Is anyone there to heed? -- Dr. Munir Munshey It seems there's two major interpretations of this ayat: - The Qur'an is easy to understand. This could be in order to help everyone, despite their level of education. I've also seen it argued that the repetitive nature of the Qur'an is evidence to support this interpretation. > The Qur'an's guidance for man’s conduct are plain and easy to understand and act upon... > ...Masha Allah, how easy Allah has made it for us to memorise the Qur’an and increase our rewards. -- Productive Muslim - Admonishion in the Qur'an is easy to understand. "Do good and get closer to paradise. Do bad and get closer to punishment". > Some people have misconstrued the words yassarnal- Quran to mean that the Quran is an easy Book; no knowledge is required to understand it so much so that a person even without the knowledge of the Arabic language, can write a commentary on it, and can deduce any injunctions he likes from its verses independent of the Hadith and Islamic Law, whereas the context in which these words occur, indicates that they are meant to make the people realize this: One means of the admonition are the dreadful torments that descended upon the rebellious nations, and the other means is this Quran, which guides you to the right path by argument and instruction. -- Islamic Studies It's unclear which is correct. (And I cannot exclude the possibility that both of these interpretations are simultaneously correct.) **Question**: Should Qur'an 54:17 be interpreted as meaning the Qur'an is intended to be simple to understand? Answering this is probably going to require familiarity with the Arabic: > وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ

Is it ok to missed suhur during sunnah fasting? I know that it is ok for the fardh fast during ramadhan, but I'm worried that there might be different ruling for sunnah fasting. I tried to search the web, but the results only shows those during ramadhan.

It is understood by the consensus of scholars that a father may arrange the marriage for his minor son and the marriage is binding on him when he reaches puberty. My question is — who is responsible to pay the dower (mahr) to his wife. The father or the minor son? Ibn Abi Shaybah has posted several opinions in his book , The Book of the Compiler, both of which are contradicting each other. Some scholars say the father, some say the minor son. I would like to know the opinion of the four madhabs and other classical scholars, and what is the most authentic opinion in this regard.

I’m a teen that masterbate and I want to stop for me to be able to do my prayer what can I do restart my prayer and to stop masturbating . And also does masturbating affect my prayer?

Is the using of this emoji (🙏) permissible? Many say it's Haram based on the Hadith where the prophet ﷺ said " whoever imitates a people is one of them" The emoji clearly imitates the Christians and some Japanese religions. So what's the ruling?

As per this hadith; > Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "The > poor Muslims are admitted into Paradise before their rich by half a > day. And that is five hundred years." > > Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2354 https://sunnah.com/tirmidhi:2354 How to interpret this? Why poor Muslims will go to Jannah before rich Muslims?

From *On the Boundaries of Theological Tolerance in Islam* (Faysal Al-Tafriqa Bayn Al-Islam wal Zandaqa) by Al-Ghazali (translation: pdf ) writes: > Included among such matters would be the claims of some **who style themselves Sufis to the effect that they have reached a state between themselves and God wherein they are no longer obligated to pray, and that drinking wine, devouring state funds, and other forms of disobedience are rendered licit to them**. Such people, without doubt, must be executed... This passage took me quite by surprise. The text is nearly 1000 years old and might be obsolete. Moreover, even back then, it might only be referring to a very small proportion of the Sufi population. Hence my question: **Question**: Is it common among Sufis to not feel obligated to pray, drink wine, etc.? I'm guessing it's not common, but I don't have anything to back up that guess. And there's plenty of Muslims around who don't pray, drink wine, and so on.
