Is this form of dhikr/duaa correct?
Salam, I’m not too sure what this would come under so I’ve assumed and put dhikr. It’s the duaa that you read after Maghrib and Fajr. ‘Allahumma Ajirnee Minannarr’ As a kid I was taught to read it 7 times but a post on Instagram said this is unreliable and not authentic Hadith. Can someone find out...
Salam, I’m not too sure what this would come under so I’ve assumed and put dhikr. It’s the duaa that you read after Maghrib and Fajr. ‘Allahumma Ajirnee Minannarr’ As a kid I was taught to read it 7 times but a post on Instagram said this is unreliable and not authentic Hadith. Can someone find out if this is true because he then stated 3 times is what Prophet muhammed PBUH read. Jazakallah Khair

Is there any consensus on what happens to Jews and Christians upon death, in Islam?
I've searched and read a fair amount about this on the Internet, and opinions vary heavily. From "Christians and Jews go strait to hell", to "God is all-merciful and looks at the heart". No doubt there is no consensus on that among the Muslim world, but is there a general, widely-held opinion among...
I've searched and read a fair amount about this on the Internet, and opinions vary heavily. From "Christians and Jews go strait to hell", to "God is all-merciful and looks at the heart". No doubt there is no consensus on that among the Muslim world, but is there a general, widely-held opinion among Islamic scholars and clergy, or any applicable opinions? Otherwise are we all completely in the dark about this?

The strength of words related to "coming to someone" in the Quran
Quran talks about prophets coming to nations. And it usually uses two words for this: 1. آتاهم; come to them 2. جائتهم; he came to them Is there a strength difference between these two? For example, can we say جائتهم means prophets came more seriously, they preached more, and brought more signs and...
Quran talks about prophets coming to nations. And it usually uses two words for this: 1. آتاهم; come to them 2. جائتهم; he came to them Is there a strength difference between these two? For example, can we say جائتهم means prophets came more seriously, they preached more, and brought more signs and miracles? The words **(آتاهم/come to them), (جائتهم/he came to them)** are used in : [64:6](https://quran.com/64:6) > ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُۥ كَانَت ***تَّأْتِيهِمْ*** رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ فَقَالُوٓا۟ أَبَشَرٌ يَهْدُونَنَا فَكَفَرُوا۟ وَتَوَلَّوا۟ ۚ وَّٱسْتَغْنَى ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَنِىٌّ حَمِيدٌ > That was because their messengers used to come to them with clear proofs, but they said ˹mockingly˺, “How can humans be our guides?” So they persisted in disbelief and turned away. And Allah was not in need ˹of their faith˺. For Allah is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy. [61:6](https://quran.com/61:6) > وَإِذْ قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ يَـٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ إِنِّى رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ إِلَيْكُم مُّصَدِّقًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَىَّ مِنَ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَمُبَشِّرًۢا بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِى ٱسْمُهُۥٓ أَحْمَدُ ۖ فَلَمَّا ***جَآءَهُم*** بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ قَالُوا۟ هَـٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ > And ˹remember˺ when Jesus, son of Mary, said, “O children of Israel! I am truly Allah’s messenger to you, confirming the Torah which came before me, and giving good news of a messenger after me whose name will be Aḥmad.”1 Yet when the Prophet came to them with clear proofs, they said, “This is pure magic.”

So I’m in this class where we had a project to teach children English. The topic was halloween. We had this event where they learnt halloween vocabulary and they gave me the task to take pictures of the event. Does that mean that I’m supporting it? I know that halloween is like a shirk holiday, but I’m not sure if what I did is shirk as well. Also I was aware of the fact that it’s most likely sinful but I still took the pictures and sent them to my teacher.

Is Polygamy only allowed with orphans and not for general women?
**If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two or three or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you f...
**If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two or three or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.** As we know, Sura An Nisa has talked about polygamy where a man can marry two, three, or four women only if the man can bring justice equally to every of his wife. But the confusion happens among several people, some people claim that the verse is described in the context of the Uhud war when lots of women became orphans. And only bring justice for them, polygamy is allowed here. But it is not to marry a general, independent woman. As we are in 2022, women are more independent financially, and from another perspective, then why they will allow their husband to marry other women? As we can see the first part of the verse ("If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans"),it is a clear condition to marry only orphan girls to bring justice to them. Why this condition is always skipped by everyone?

Will the hand of a Jew be cut for stealing?
Islam has a law whereby a thief's hand is amputated, however Judaism does not proclaim such a punishment (Exodus 22). What would happen to a Jewish thief under Shariah law? Would his hand be amputated? Or would he be punished pursuant to the teachings of his own religion?

Why are not Mushriks included in these verses?
- [Surah Al Maidah:51](https://quran.com/al-maidah/51) > O believers! Take neither Jews nor Christians as guardians—they are guardians of each other.1 Whoever does so will be counted as one of them. Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoers. - [Surah Al Bakarah:120](https://quran.com/en/al-baqarah/...
- [Surah Al Maidah:51](https://quran.com/al-maidah/51) > O believers! Take neither Jews nor Christians as guardians—they are guardians of each other.1 Whoever does so will be counted as one of them. Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoers. - [Surah Al Bakarah:120](https://quran.com/en/al-baqarah/120) > Never will the Jews or Christians be pleased with you, until you follow their faith. Say, “Allah’s guidance is the only ˹true˺ guidance.” And if you were to follow their desires after ˹all˺ the knowledge that has come to you, there would be none to protect or help you against Allah. I have two questions in this regard: 1. Are these two verses universally applicable or just applicable in the contexts of the incidents for which they were revealed? 2. If they are universally applicable, then why were Mushriks not mentioned, as Mushriks are worse (than Yahudi and Nasarah) as they are idol worshippers?

But of course, ahadith can be taken out of context. Is there any context which explains why this hadith *does not* mean the penalty for apostasy *isn't* death?

Why isn't Muwatta of Malik as famous as the six books of hadith?
I am confused that the Muwatta was not included in the six books of hadith, considering that it was made earlier than all of the six books, so it should be even more reliable then the six books.

Assalamoalikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh. The Qur'an mentions a people called "Tubba" in Surah Qaaf but I looked through the Qur'an but was not able to find their story, like the people of Aad, Thamud, etc. had a specific Prophet guide them and a specific punishment arrived from Allah onto them which are told in different surahs in the Qur'an. However, about the people of Tubba, the only mention in the Qur'an that at least I could find was in Surah Qaaf and that mentioned that they "all rejected the messengers, so my threat came to pass" and no incident was mentioned, nor the Prophet that came to warn them. Are there any other references to the people of Tubba in the Qur'an and Hadith?
