I heard that popping fingers in the prayer met whether it's after or before prayer, is not good. Is that correct? Any reference would be appreciated.

Meaning of valid Salat
We are taught how to perform Salat prayer properly and for me it's out of question to try to do so. However, I often encounter questions on this site whether if so-and-so, the prayer is valid. What does it mean whether a prayer is valid? Valid for what? All teachings are welcome.

I did some superficial googling on the subject and I found that the transmissions of the story of the satanic verses incident is considered "weak" so this must mean there are some documented Hadiths about them. Can somebody provide me with the references of as many different hadiths that speak about this incident as possible?
As wherever I looked, nobody who mentioned it on an article, YouTube video or book would ever give hadith references for the incident and I myself could not find any on the translated books on Sunnah.com and navigating the untranslated Hadith books is difficult for me, although not impossible.
Please give references to hadiths that relate the satanic verses incident regardless if its in Arabic or not.

I am a bit frustrated right now because I am not sure if i committed shirk… So, the conversation in my head went like this:
“What are we for Allah?” “The children of Allah??” with that phrase i DID NOT mean physically that we are the Children of Allah like the Christians believe, i meant that we are the creations of Allah swt his servants and that we belong to him, but i didn’t get the word “servants” in my head first… “Aren’t we the children of Adam?” “Can’t be because he didn’t create us…?” “Ah, i know it! We are the servants of Allah!!!“
Did I commit Shirk? My intention was only to believe that we are Allahs servants

Assalanualaikum,
I have had a lot of Qadha prayers that have piled up over the past few weeks.
I tried to segment them and make them up, but due to exhaustion and my current schedule I haven't been able to cover them.
I have been trying to pray the fardh and cover the qadha when I can, shall I continue doing this or am I able to pray my regular prayers and then add nafl to make up for the qadha. As the amount of qadha prayers can be overwhelming?
But I completely understand if I should just continue praying Fardh and cover the Qadha until it is complete.
JazakAllah Khairun

Was Pharaoh considered the only god by the Egyptians or did they have multiple gods?
In 26:29 and 28:38 it is reported that Pharaoh declared himself the only god, and ordered others to worship only himself.

In 26:29 and 28:38 it is reported that Pharaoh declared himself the only god, and ordered others to worship only himself. The same thing is repeated in 79:24, where he declares himself to be the highest:
> Pharaoh threatened, “If you **take any other god besides me**, I will
> certainly have you imprisoned.”26:29
> Pharaoh declared, “O chiefs! **I know of no other god for you but
> myself**. So bake bricks out of clay for me, O Hamân, and build a high
> tower so I may look at the God of Moses, although I am sure he is a
> liar.”28:38
> saying, “I am your lord, the most high!” 79:24
But 7:127 mentions many gods:
> The chiefs of Pharaoh’s people protested, “Are you going to leave
> Moses and his people free to spread corruption in the land and abandon
> you and **your gods**?” He responded, “We will kill their sons and keep
> their women. We will completely dominate them.”7:127
How to reconcile these verses?
And also explain them, please, from the point of view of history, because the polytheism of the Egyptians and the fact that the Pharaohs were considered divine has long been proven. But I didn't read that Pharaoh was considered the only and highest god. Maybe there is such information?

Is Pantheism (as defined by Spinoza) compatible with Islam?
Pantheism (Pan = all, theism=God) is the view that God is all.

Pantheism (Pan = all, theism=God) is the view that God is all. Although some definitions describe pantheism as the view that God is the universe or God is nature, the more general definition is that these (universe, nature) are manifestations of God. See this .
In other words, pantheism defines God as the totality. All matter, energy, space and time. The universe and every other universe which may exist. All creators and all destroyers. All things, ideas, forms. Every-thing and every-nothing. In sum, He is the representation of the oneness of all.
Is this conception of God compatible with Islam? If not, why not and If yes, why yes?

Why does islam encourage covering female bodies?

According to Wikipedia :
> Koran says: Say to the believing men that they cast down their looks and guard their private parts; that is purer for them; surely Allah is Aware of what they do. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their private parts; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their khimār over their breasts and not display their beauty except to their husband, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. — Quran 24:30
There are also some hadith supplied.
However, nowhere does it explain **WHY**.
Why does Islam encourage covering female bodies?
1. Is it because to keep society civil?
2. Is it to protect women from sexual harm?
3. Is it because to preserve modesty?
4. anything else?
Please, answer with appropriate authentic references.

A movie called BILAL: A New Breed of Hero. Bilal was still there during the Prophet Muhammed's time. I've been always wanting to draw stories about Prophets. I'm not sure I will draw Prophets or cover their faces. Is it ok I can draw their fellows like Prophet Moses' mother and siblings, Bilal, their fellows except Prophets?

So, as I was offering the prayer of Isha and I accidentally prayed 4 sunnahs, 4 farz, but instead of 2 sunnah, I offered 4. Is this permissible?
However, unsure, I reoffered the 2 sunnah. Thank you for answering. I would especially love an 'in depth' answer! JazakAllah!
