I hit someone’s car by accident and left can allah forgive me
I hit someone’s car as I was leaving a car park, I checked the damage and I couldn’t see any. As I was about to leave I had a quick look again as I was driving and I saw a small crack.

I hit someone’s car as I was leaving a car park, I checked the damage and I couldn’t see any. As I was about to leave I had a quick look again as I was driving and I saw a small crack.
Mistakenly I left the car park and went home, but then I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So I tried to find if I have committed a sin that Allah won’t forgive me for. While searching I saw a brother asked a similar question and the answer was that he committed a sin that Allah won’t forgive him for. I went back to see if the car is still there or not, but it was gone and now I’m so scared! Will Allah forgive me? And what can I do now I can’t find the person and what will happen if they don’t forgive me.

I was going through this answer on the shias imam and came across "ulelamr". This word is used in the verse 4:59 .
According to the answer this is what ulelamr means
> With the above observations, ulel 'Amr are identified with the appointed Imam(s). Imams can also be identified with their full knowledge of everything. They never say "I do not know" in response to any question.
2 questions:
1. What is the sunni point of view of the meaning of ulelamr?
2. What is the context of this ayat 4:59 ? (any account of what was happening during the period of revelation of this ayat) (Both sunni and shia stance)

Ruling on Making up missed prayer that was missed willingly because of not enough courage to take major ablution at night?
Most of the newly married couples in the subcontinent of ours don't offer their Fajr prayer at masjid willingly on time! They make it up at the time of Zuhr prayer as 'Kada'(making up missed prayer).

Most of the newly married couples in the subcontinent of ours don't offer their Fajr prayer at masjid willingly on time! They make it up at the time of Zuhr prayer as 'Kada'(making up missed prayer). They involved in intercourse and they don't want to take their bath(major ablution) at the middle of the night out of feeling shy or may be for the fear of cold water or laziness, I don’t know why they do so, but what they is that they willingly missed the Fajr prayer with the intention of making it up with the next prayer.
So my question is, If someone willingly miss any prayer, is there any ruling on making it up later on?

Why does Allah blind some people and then judge them for being blind?
This must be important, as it is stated so early in the Quran at Surah 2:7. Why does Allah blind people to the Truth prior to judging them on their acceptance of the same? > Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and > over their vision is a veil. And for them is a great puni...
This must be important, as it is stated so early in the Quran at Surah 2:7.
Why does Allah blind people to the Truth prior to judging them on their acceptance of the same?
> Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and
> over their vision is a veil. And for them is a great punishment.
Also 2:17,
> Their example is that of one who kindled a fire, but when it
> illuminated what was around him, Allah took away their light and left
> them in darkness [so] they could not see.
On my human understanding, this seems unjust on its face.
Obviously, God is the source of all justice, so whatsoever He decrees is Just by definition. Nevertheless, why would He set a certain standard of justice in our hearts and minds and then deploy a different standard of justice vis-a-vis the above verses? Considering one of his famous names is the Merciful, why would he give us a challenge to solve with the tool of rationality which He also gave us and then so clearly traduce it, as above?

Differentiating menstruation blood with virgin blood

Assalamualaikum.
Yesterday was my wedding day. My wife was having her period in the past week but she said it was over and then she did take junub bath or major ablution. But when we start to have sex we realize that there's blood coming out but we're not sure if its virgin blood or menstruation blood. Being a newly wed we continue the intercourse. Only later we started to think that it maybe a menstrual bleeding.
What should we do?
We know that it's forbidden because we were told about it back in school but never really learn the topic, the hadith, etc. Do you think we should pay Kafarrah?
We're financially unstable since we just got married and spent money for the party.
Please help us. We don't know where to ask and afraid that our marriage won't be blessed as we broke Allah's rule on our first night.
Thank you!!!

I don't know if my neighbours are kafir or not. But we are of a different race and most of the people of my neighbour's race are kafirs. Some of my neighbours also own dogs. If I don't regard them as disbelievers, does that make me a disbeliever? Jazakallah khayran.

**Khalid**
Apparently there was an Islamic general called Khalid ibn al-Walid.
Britannica encyclopedia
> Khālid ibn al-Walīd, byname Sīf, or Sayf, Allāh (Arabic: “Sword of God”), (died 642)
**Hero**
Apparently Khalid conquered Mecca alongside Muhammad, and then conquered the Arabian peninsula and Iraq, before routing the Byzantine empire in Syria and Palestine.
Khalid is regarded as having secured the spread of Islam in a number of provinces.
Britannica encyclopedia
> Khālid was later converted (627/629) and joined Muhammad in the conquest of Mecca in 629; thereafter he commanded a number of conquests and missions in the Arabian Peninsula. After the death of Muhammad, Khālid recaptured a number of provinces that were breaking away from Islam. He was sent northeastward by the caliph Abū Bakr to invade Iraq, where he conquered Al-Ḥīrah. Crossing the desert, he aided in the conquest of Syria; and, though the new caliph, ʿUmar, formally relieved him of high command (for unknown reasons), Khālid remained the effective leader of the forces facing the Byzantine armies in Syria and Palestine. Routing the Byzantine armies, he surrounded Damascus, which surrendered on Sept.
**Question**
Is Khalid a celebrated figure in Islam?

Shia thinks that Muhamad select Ali as a caliph.
Sunni thinks no. In fact, an answer in this stackexchange, says that Muhammad actually primed Abu Bakr as next caliph.
It seems that they agree on one thing.
Ali didn't agree to support Abu Bakr from the beginning.
It took a few months before that to happens.
What happened?
The Shia version is that Ali feels that Abu Bakr is an usurper.
What's the Sunni version?

> Moses and his people to cause corruption in the land and abandon you
> and your gods?" [Pharaoh] said, "We will kill their sons and keep
> their women alive; and indeed, we are subjugators over them."
Quran 7:127
In this verse we can clearly see pharaoh had the chance to kill Musa As. Instead he totally ignored his people's advice and told them to kill the Children of Israel.
**My question is nothing was preventing pharaoh to kill Musa As. But he didn't, it seems he has some soft side for Musa As. Any scholar said anything about this. Any reason for pharaoh being soft towards Musa As?**

I came across an explanation of why the hadith is not considered to be authentic.
https://www.islamweb.net/en/fatwa/336679/ibn-abbaas-statement-about-motion-of-sun
I would like it if someone could better elaborate why the hadith is not considered authentic (even though Ibn Kathir thought the chain of narrators was authentic).

My question is whether calling Ali "Imam Ali" is a shibboleth that reveals that someone is a Shiite or not. I know the basic historical-political and doctrinal differences, including the imamate and the Shia belief that Ali was to be the temporal and spiritual leader of the Islamic community after the death of Muhammad. I assumed, then, that only Shiites would refer to him as "Imam Ali" and that Sunnis would just call him "Ali" or maybe "Caliph Ali." However, today I heard a non-Shiite scholar referring to him as Imam Ali, hence my question. Do non-Shia call him Imam Ali, too? When I search for "Imam Ali" online it seems that all the results are from Shia sources. Thank you in advance.
