How common is it to hear about reports of supernatural events or miracles in Islam? How common is it that Muslims share testimonies of first-hand supernatural experiences? What kinds of extraordinary experiences are most frequently reported?
Notice that I'm not asking whether these reports are true or not. I'm just asking about their frequency and the types of experiences that are reported most often.

Can I use interest to earn back money lost from inflation?
I live in a country that suffers from a high rate of inflation. I understand that interest is haram (this is not questioned). But when 100 money is worth 90 money the next year, surely I should be entitled to a rate of interest where my money is worth 100. If I do not accept interest, then value of...
I live in a country that suffers from a high rate of inflation. I understand that interest is haram (this is not questioned). But when 100 money is worth 90 money the next year, surely I should be entitled to a rate of interest where my money is worth 100. If I do not accept interest, then value of money goes down. My country is very worse for inflation but this is example. In the same way, deflation makes my money worth more, is this Allah's will?
What Islamic methods are approved of to counter such misgivings? In the time of the prophet, fiat money was not used, so one silver coin was always worth one silver coin. When prices go up, and my money goes down, that is double the problem. So far I have lost half my money by avoiding interest, what can I do?

Why does Allah lead humans astray? Surah 35:8
Surah 35:8 states, "Allah leaves to stray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills." How can a merciful God (ar-Rahim) do this? How does this fit with Islamic sotierology?

What is the proof of Tawheed?
I’m Christian and want to convert but I haven’t seen any firm proofs of tawheed. The Quran has two arguments but I am not convinced by them.not because they’re wrong but because I need more analysis of these arguments. Any arguments from kalam?

Did I commit shirk..?
I am 13 years old, and a girl. I decided to come here, feeling the need for an answer because I'm greatly afraid of the fires or hell.

I am 13 years old, and a girl. I decided to come here, feeling the need for an answer because I'm greatly afraid of the fires or hell.
Ever since I learned about shirk, I started to receive heinous thoughts such as, 'I worship Aphrodite along with Allah' and 'There are other gods along with Allah' but I never truly mean them. I once said out loud to myself, 'I would worship Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, but I am a muslim, so I only worship Allah' and I once said 'I worship Aphrodite along with Allah' but I never meant it. By Allah I did not mean to think, or even say any of these things. When I had realised about what I had said, I was sent into a wave of panic, and worry.
Whenever I talk to Allah in my mind, I always whisper, 'A'uthu Billahi mina shaytanir rajeem, Allah, I apologise for my terrible thoughts. I really hope i haven't committed shirk.'
I started to cry and I would always imagine my mother going to heaven and seeing myself in hell and I start to cry all the time. I am too afraid to tell my mom about this because I feel like she would be angry at me.
Will Allah still forgive me, or am I doomed?

Salam

Quran is the un-altered word of Allah. Allah had promised for the protection of Quran.
We also believe that Christians and Jews corrupted the Bible and Torah for their personal profits.
I want to know that why did Allah only promised protection of Quran and not his others books? Why didn't he saved other books from human corruption, like he's doing for Quran?

Help me understand the hadith no 1700 of Tirdmidhi and 2574 of Abu Dawood
> There should be no (money) prizes for competitions except in archery, camel-racing and horse-racing. *([Tirdmidhi-1700, Grade: Hasan][1])* > Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم (peace be upon him) said: Wagers are allowed only for racing camels, or horses or shooting arrows. *...
> There should be no (money) prizes for competitions except in archery, camel-racing and horse-racing. *(Tirdmidhi-1700, Grade: Hasan )*
> Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم (peace be upon him) said: Wagers are allowed only for racing camels, or horses or shooting arrows. *(Abu Dawood-2574; Grade: Sahih )*
Does the mentioned hadith mean I am not allowed to race on foot for prize money? Does that mean Rubik's cube competitions are haram? Does that mean I am not allowed to host any competition that lets people get awarded with money by winning?

The building was damaged in 808 and 846 CE, collapsed in earthquake in 1015CE and 1033CE. There was a crusade in 1099 and dome of rock become a Catholic church.
I would have really thought that Muhammad is a title of Jesus as christian say (nauzubillah) as my iman is weak,but as it was Catholic church the divinity of Jesus was well established in 11 CE, so noway they would have let a inscription survive if it denies his divinity...
Even the name of abbasid Khalifa Mamun survived that was their enemy. We can't say that that was also Jesus title.
Was this inscription in an other place and after Muslim reconquered the Dome of rock they put this inscription there?

In one sentence, how would you summarize the teachings of Islam?
Reading the Gospel of Jesus, I had the impression that the essence of Christianity can be found in Jesus' instructions to "love thy neighbour". Does Islam have a similarly fundamental principle? If so, how would you express it?

Gathering wealth and not spending - Islam view
What is Islam's perspective on gathering too much money and not investing and letting them flow? For example, one desires to save too much money, without utilizing that money anywhere. Is there anything from Qur'an and prophetic hadith related to this topic?

Recently I have been curious about knowing how do people kiss. I have read it on a website that it's okay to learn through websites but not through pictures and videos only when you are about to marry. So I want to know if it is okay to learn through websites through reading.
Although I'm in my 20's but not about to marry in the near future. I'm just curious to know how kissing is done.
I would like to know if it is halal or haram? If it is haram is there a halal way of learning *"how to kiss"* ? if yes what is it?
If there is no way then when, from whom and how do you need to learn about kissing?

She said I was very sick and cried a lot, so in a moment of desperation, this was made for me. Would it be wrong for me to wear it, given I don’t believe in any ability for it to protect me? And would I be able to take it with me in the bathroom given it doesn’t have any visible Quranic ayaahs on it (it’s a tiny leather pouch on a string and looks pretty cool)?
