Ok, it is a bit complex for me. Suppose you are praying for Fajr and you have got 2 rakat sunnah and 2 fard. How do you pray them? All in one go or do you pray sunnah first by making Niyah and in the end you give salam left and right and then you stand up make a new niyah for praying fard? Thank you.

If you do something that you are unsure is kufr or shirk do you lose your religion, and could you provide evidence please? Are you sinful for it?

Can you explain this highlighted line. This mean 3 people intercourse at the same time? Sunan abu Dawud (2262) > Narrated Zayd ibn Arqam: I was sitting with the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him). A man came from the Yemen, and said: Three men from the people of the Yemen came to Ali, quarrelling about a child, asking him to give a decision. **They had sexual intercourse with a woman during a single state of purity**. He said to two of them: Give this child to this man (the third person) with pleasure. But they (refused and) cried loudly. Again he said to two of them: Give the child to the man (the third person) willingly. But they (refused and) cried loudly. He then said: You are quarrelsome partners. I shall cast lots among you; he who receives the lot, will acquire the child, and he shall pay two-thirds of the blood-money to both his companions. He then cast lots among them, and gave the child to the one who received the lot. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) laughed so much that his canine or molar teeth appeared.

Assalamuallaikum, is it a valid reason for rejecting a marriage proposal if one doesn't feel the connection with the person, like feeling no chemistry, and more of not liking the person in general. You know, that type of feeling, when you don't like a person for no reason. And what if the person is into some kind of sickness as in Epilepsy. Is it ok to reject for that matter. Thank you

Can you tell is she maria al-qibtiyya in this hadith? because she is the only slave who gives birth to prophet child. O people, impose the prescribed punishment upon your slaves, those who are married and those not married, for a slave-woman belonging to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had committed adultery, and he committed me to flog her. But she had recently given birth to a child and I was afraid that if I flogged her I might kill her. So I mentioned that to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and he said: You have done well. Sahih muslim 1705a

Asslam o alaikum all of my brothers and sisters... It is better to do ablution(wudu) before reciting quran but i have one question and my question is that before reciting quran i do wudu(ablution) but while reciting quran almost everytime i fart and then i again do wudu and again recite quran. Is it necessary to do wudu again after u fart.... Iam talking only about reciting quran not about salah because it is necessary to do wudu again when you fart in salah but is it necessary while reciting quran?? I don't know why people downvote my this question coz i haven't said something bad...

My father have been forcing me to wear the hijab for a couple of months now, is it permissible? For context he didn’t advice me gently but instead used violence and threatened to murder me if I don’t wear a headscarf, it have been affecting me mentally and made me grow resentment towards him. My mom supports him and doesn’t see anything wrong about it which also made me grow some resentment for her.

Having a critical eye on the Gospel according to John 5:19,47, claiming that Jesus ﷺ said: > Truly, truly, I say to you, the son can do nothing of his own accord, > but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the > son does likewise. For the Father loves the son, and shows him all > that he himself is doing; and greater works than these will he show > him, that you may marvel. For as the Father raises the dead and gives > them life, so also the son gives life to whom he will. The Father > judges no one, but has given all judgment to the son, that all may > honour the son, even as they honour the Father. He who does not honour > the son does not honour the Father who sent him. closing (speaking to Jews who did not believe him) > You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have > eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me; yet you refuse > to come to me that you may have life. I do not receive glory from men. > But I know that you have not the love of God within you. I have come > in my Father's name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in > his own name, him you will receive. How can you believe, who receive > glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the > only God? > > Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who > accuses you, on whom you set your hope. If you believed Moses, you > would believe me, for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe His > writings, how will you believe my words?" To my surprise, I found the Quran confirming Jesus to be a witness but contradicting the version that Moses will accuse the Jews: An-Nisa 4:159 > There is none from the People of the Scripture but will believe in him > (i.e. Jesus) before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will > be a witness against them. Even more in Sahih Al-Bukhari 60:118 (3448) > Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, surely > the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) will soon descend amongst you and will judge > mankind justly; he will break the Cross and kill the > pigs and there will be no Jizya. > Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, > and a single prostration to Allah will be better than the > whole world and whatever is in it." Abu Huraira added "If you wish, > you can recite : (4:159, see above)" John evidently understands here the «son» as singular, Jesus ﷺ. Jesus himself used the term «son of God» in plural, for all who do the Will of God. So I come to my question: According to other Islamic sources, is the role as a witness before God or even as a judge in the Name of God only accorded to *Jesus*ﷺ, or are others, out of the plurality of those who do the Will of God, or in particular *Muhammad*ﷺ or Musaﷺ, evenly mentioned not only as a witness but also - as in the hadith - as a judge on the coming of the last day?

*Question*: Are the "half your deen" hadiths authentic? I hear it quoted often. For example: 1. > Narrated by Anas ibn Malik, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, “When a man marries he has fulfilled half of the ‘deen’; so let him fear Allah regarding the remaining half.” At-Tirmidhi Hadith 3096 (web source: alquranclasses.com ) 2. > Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever Allah provides with a righteous wife, then Allah has assisted him in half of his religion. Let him fear Allah regarding the second half.” Source: al-Mu’jam al-Awsaṭ 992 (web source: dailyhadith.abuaminaelias.com ) 3. > At-Tirmidhi Hadith 3096 Narrated by Anas ibn Malik: Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "When a man marries he has fulfilled half of the deen; so let him fear Allah regarding the remaining half." (web source: islamhelpline.net ) 4. > Al-Haakim narrated in al-Mustadrak from Anas, in a marfoo’ report: “Whomever Allaah blesses with a righteous wife, He has helped him with half of his religion, so let him fear Allaah with regard to the other half.” (web source: islamqa.info ) There's even a Muslim dating website named after this, namely halfourdeen.com .

I have a cousin brother who is around 7 to 8 years older than me. He calls me betaa (son in urdu) on some occasion purposely or may be just for fun. I don't like it. I want to know if it's allowed in Islam to call anyone son except to our own child?

A friend told me that non-believers are prohibited from touching the Qur'an. I'm only 15 and my family is originally a Hindu, but I don't think my parents will mind me reading the Qur'an. Also I am not too sure about converting because I only want to take in the messages of the Qur'an, as I think it has information to leading a better life. And converting while living at home will be difficult, because my Mum is a devoted Hindu. Would I be able to read the Qur'an? I really really want to read it.
