What does Nusuk mean?
I saw this word written in your Haddiths but can't find the meaning of it: The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "The first thing that we should do on this day of ours is to pray and then return to slaughter the sacrifice.

I saw this word written in your Haddiths but can't find the meaning of it:
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "The first thing that we should do on this day of ours is to pray and then return to slaughter the sacrifice. So anyone who does so, he acted according to our Sunna (tradition), and whoever slaughtered the sacrifice before the prayer, it was just meat which he presented to his family and would not be considered as Nusuk." A person from the Ansar named Abu Burda bin Niyyar said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I slaughtered the **Nusuk** (before the prayer) but I have a young shegoat which is better than an older sheep." The Prophet (ﷺ) I said, "Sacrifice it in lieu of the first, but it will be not sufficient (as a sacrifice) for anybody else after you." - Sahih al-Bukhari 965

Can the souls of evil humans/jinn become Shayatin
Surah 6:112 speaks about “shayatin among humans and jinn”. I read there is a division of opinions regarding this verse.

Is it possible for a wicked soul to become a shayatin, or are they purely the offspring of demons?

Is it permissible to eat meat in Western restaurants given that it is permissible to eat meat from People of the Book?
I always have eaten halal meat and nothing else. I am now in the USA and some places have no halal places at all so it can be difficult at times to eat meat.

I always have eaten halal meat and nothing else.
I am now in the USA and some places have no halal places at all so it can be difficult at times to eat meat.
I was informed that Allah SWT has given us permission for eating meat which has been permissible to "the people of the book".
- Is this correct?
- If so, does this mean I can go to a restaurant, say Olive Garden (Italian) or Pizza Hut or something like that and can have chicken?
Thank you for clarifications. It makes it difficult when you are in an area that does not have halal places or at least very difficult to access therefore I stick to vegetarian meals.

I am currently in Indonesia/Java and the muezzin/minaret/mosque calls go on for much longer than what I've experienced before. I've been to a couple of Muslim countries and they've done the calls 5 times a day, couple of minutes and that's that.
But here it's 21:03, I have checked the prayer times and the last one was more than two hours ago. The call is still going on. It's currently Ramadan, can it be due to that? And what is the content of the call?

Are dust and clot simply metaphorical?
In Jewish and Christian tradition, it is said that God created humans from dust. In Islam, it is said from a clot. Why is that difference? Are the two terms just metaphors?

We knew each other from social media and we have been talking for years..
A few males and a few females.. (im a female)
**Expect one male, all others are muslims..**
and its noted that now when i talk to them, i dont feel happy anymore.. like it causes me stress.. but i also dont want to stay apart from them.. however when i leave, it gives me a peace of mind.
**What do u think i should do?**
And when i talk to them.. My imaan becomes weak :(
tho i still havent figured out why..
and there is always debates going on with the muslim friends and non muslim friend about why he should become a muslim.. tho they insult each other while they are at it.. and he debates why they should not trust on the religion.. its been stressful
These days I have been getting more interested in Islam Alhamdhu'lilah and because of a post i saw that says we shouldnt talk to opposite genders.. I cutted my contact with them.. but i feel bad.. **so i dont really know what to do..**
**Is talking to them Haram?**
we treat each other as Family..like brothers and sisters
and we know each other's all the secrets and thoughts.. so on..
**So what do you think i should do in this situation?**
