Hadith about Allah commanding angels to destroy a pious man
Assalamu Alaikum Brothers, There is a famous "Weak" Hadith about how Allah commanded the angels to destroy a town but the angels told Allah that there was an obedient pious slave of His in there.

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers, There is a famous "Weak" Hadith about how Allah commanded the angels to destroy a town but the angels told Allah that there was an obedient pious slave of His in there. So Allah commanded the Angels to destroy him as well because he didn't forbid evil and enjoin good. I have heard from many that this hadith is very weak. But I don't have a written reference of it being weakened. Can you please provide me a source which states that this hadith is weak?

Was the body of Prophet Muhammad SAW decomposing?
According to one Hadith : >The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Verily, Allah has forbidden the Earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets.” (Sunan Abî Dâwûd (1047), Sunan al-Nasâ’î (1374), and Sunan Ibn Mâjah (1636).) I found a contradictory report here http://www.a...
According to one Hadith : >The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Verily, Allah has forbidden the Earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets.” (Sunan Abî Dâwûd (1047), Sunan al-Nasâ’î (1374), and Sunan Ibn Mâjah (1636).) I found a contradictory report here http://www.ahl-alquran.com/arabic/printpage.php?doc_type=1&doc_id=15300 : >Al-Abbas, the paternal uncle of Prophet Muhammad, entered Muhammad's room three after his death, before his burial, as his body remained there for three days as the people were too busy to bury him, as all of them were engaged in debates of Al-Thaqeefa Council of choosing a ruler/caliph of Yathreb to succeed him. Once Al-Abbas entered the room, he put his hands at once at his nose, and said to the gathered men outside: "Bury your friend Muhammad fast, for HIS BODY BEGAN DECOMPOSITION just like the rest of human beings" … (capital emphasis mine) Where can this opposing Hadith be found. The link doesn't provide a source. Certain anti-islamists have used this to point out the "falsehood" (Nauzubillah) of Prophet Muhammad SAW bcuz he said the bodies do not decompose. I need help. Where can it be found and is it authentic?

I masturbate on a regular basis. I am 28 years old male and "Sunni Muslim". When I masturbate in my bed, after that I touch my pillow, books, wallet, mobile, door handle, mattress, room wall etc. with hands (with liquid semen). Even semen dropped so many times in my cloths, duvet etc. Even I touched many things with hands (after semen dried on the hand, without washing hands). The clothes, which have semen on it (the semen is dried days ago), has No visible signs/stains. So, I cannot know exactly which spots in the cloths have semen. Do I have to wash these clothes before praying? Some clothes have some visible signs or stains in some spots, and other spots in those clothes may have semen or not. In order to pray, do I have to wash it? What about door handles, wallet, water bottles, mobile, laptop, room windows etc. that I touched when semen (dry/wet) was in my hands? The walls, door handles etc. doesn't show any visible sign (or no distinguishable signs due to semen), (it's true that I touched them with semen days ago). Do I have to wash these things? If any object (pillow, bed cover, wall etc.) is touched ,with my dried semen or wet semen, and after some time there is no specific marks (or I cannot recognize any), do I have to wash them? And, on them if I find any Mark (due to semen dried days ago), do I have to wash those objects? (Let's say, do I have to wash my mobile?) I am very confused. In order to pray, what do I have to do? For example: Yesterday I masturbated and didn't wash my hand. And after some time the hand became completely dry (I did NOT wash the hand, and there are dried semens and madhiy which are Not visible in the eye). If I touch any clean cloth with this hand, does the cloth get impure? And if I touch any object (laptop, mobile, door handle etc.), do I have to wash them? Please reply bothers. Thanks for reading. I need a solution please.. ..

I am an email marketer freelancer by profession, I use email channels to promote products and services. For some time I've been promoting a company's software that allows people to learn drums and today I started promoting their DRUM kit, I didn't realize that I was promoting a product/service from the music industry until today when I was writing email content for the drum kit. I want to know if what I have been doing is haram and if yes then what should I do with the money I earned from it. I have always been steadfast in avoiding companies that are in the haram industry, I've been approached by several clients in the haram industry, and I always outright rejected them but this time I didn't realize it until today. Can anyone please tell me if what am doing is wrong?

Then I took some water and wiped the part where the hair touched the sink, then washed my legs, then I had a doubt whether I wiped it properly, so I wiped the area of the hair where it touched the sink again, but this time after cleaning my feet. Does this invalidate my ghusl?

How to reconciliate fear of some people mentioned in th Quran with its claim?

In many places Quran talks about fear of men: 1. When Moses went out of that city 2. When Abrahim met his angle guests 3. When Muhammad asked his cave companion to not be frightened (which means he was fearful) However, Quran in many places claims that good people **la khawfun alayhim** (no fear would be upon them). I'm interested in Quran-only analysis (lingual and semantic cross-reference) to reconciliate these seemingly inconsistencies.

I cussed at customer call. I called my mom and before the ringing there was a description about corona virus. I got irritated hearing it over and over again i cussed at it. I didn’t know that call centre agents hear whatever we say until today. I am deeply sorry for my actions. I did it many times in the past. I am deeply remorseful because so many people were hurt because of my actions. How can i ask forgiveness for that?

Could someone explain the reason for usury being forbidden in Islam? Some background: I have some money, which I could take advantage of right now. Giving up this money, in the form of a loan would surely mean an opportunity cost for me, as time might not be entirely homogeneous for all. Moreover, I could simply place the money (safely) in my pocket. In this case, I am accepting a certain risk of default on part of the lender, which at most might eliminate the money, and at least cause some inconveniences to recover the money. If these basic costs are not covered by the loan, no incentive remains for lending money, which at large would slowdown the economy and disable wealth shift from the wealthier middle-age population to the more-in-need youth.

Praying behind an Imam
My Sister, My father, and I were praying and it was a silent prayer. I was silently reading Surat- Al-Fatiha and My Dad went in Ruku but I was not done reading Fatiha yet. Because he was leading the prayer I went in to Ruku also. Is this wrong and does it invalidate prayer?

Do rewards double if one pray twice in congregation?
If I pray twice in two different mosques, will I double the rewards twice? For example, I pray fajr in a mosque and walk to another one close by with a slightly different prayer time to pray in that other one too. Will I get the full hassanates for both prayers?

Explain verse 3:112 about the people of the Book

> You are the best community ever raised for humanity—you encourage > good, forbid evil, and believe in Allah. Had the People of the Book > believed, it would have been better for them. Some of them are > faithful, but most are rebellious. > > They can never inflict harm on you, except a little annoyance. But if > they meet you in battle, they will flee and they will have no helpers. > > They will be stricken with disgrace wherever they go, unless they are > protected by a covenant with Allah or a treaty with the people. They > have invited the displeasure of Allah and have been branded with > misery for rejecting Allah’s revelations and murdering ˹His˺ prophets > unjustly. This is ˹a fair reward˺ for their disobedience and > violations. 3:110-112 Does verse 3:112 mean that Jews and Christians (the people of the Book) will be poor and in disgrace forever? But why do many Jews and Christians today own huge wealth, such as many Americans or many Europeans? And what is meant by "shame"? After all, there are a lot of Christians and they are not under disgrace and many of them are not protected by a covenant with the people of the world. For example, the majority of the population of North and South America are Christians, and they are protected only by their countries, and not by the rest of the world. And who is meant by "people" in this verse? Please explain the verse 3:112.
