Why do we wear Hijab during Salat?
I understand that we should wear hijab in front of others to cover our beauty, because we should be seen as our character, not our body. I know the criteria of hijab but I don't understand...

I understand that we should wear hijab in front of others to cover our beauty, because we should be seen as our character, not our body. I know the criteria of hijab but I don't understand... Why do we also have to wear it during Salat, If I'm alone? If I stay in my room, and shut the door and curtains, no one will see me. what does it matter then that Allah (glory be to Him) can see me? even if I wear clothes, God Almighty can see all... Please not that **this** question (offered as duplicate) does not answer my question. I want to know why we wear hijab in front of God, not how to wear it.

If sins invalidate dua, isn't it impossible for our duas to be answered?
> Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “By Him in whose hand is my soul, if you did not sin Allah would replace you with people who would sin and they would seek the forgiveness of Allah and He would forgive them.” (Source: Sahih Muslim 2749) Consideri...
> Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “By Him in whose hand is my soul, if you did not sin Allah would replace you with people who would sin and they would seek the forgiveness of Allah and He would forgive them.” (Source: Sahih Muslim 2749) Considering the above Hadith and the fact that humans are mistaken most of the time and sin all the time, and that none of us are like Muhammad (pbuh), doesn't it make no sense to make dua if we are going to sin inevitably anyway and invalidate it? Sure we can ask for forgiveness from Allah and he's going to forgive us because he's Ar-Rahman. But didn't our dua just get invalidated because we sinned? Because one of the criteria for one's dua to be answered is him not invalidating it by sinning. For example, I ask Allah for a certain thing I want or something that I want happened. Then I foolishly and knowingly sin and that invalidates my dua. I then ask for forgiveness from Allah. But I myself invalidated my dua in the first place. Then I ask for it again and the same cycle repeats because it's impossible for us to not sin, and even if we were to theoretically stop sinning completely, Allah would replace us by a people who would sin so that he could forgive them. That would mean I can't really ask anything from Allah because I'll sin later and invalidate my dua. If that really is the case, doesn't it make more sense to just stop making dua and just keep asking for forgiveness from Allah for the sins we commit?

Is arrogance greater crime than Shirk?
Anyone with atom's weight of arrogance will not enter paradise. But Allah forgives minor shirk if repented. Is arrogance more dangerous than shirk?

What should I do in my situation?

I have come to know there are reports about prophet (S.A.W) isolating himself for worship. Is this isolation regarded as *khawla* as defined or does it have any other interpretations in Islam and *'uzla* is also understood as a kind of isolation for worship, so are they both in the same context or if different, what are the main differences?. Mostly I find these two terms in Sufi literature but haven't come across a definition related to authentic Islamic tradition.

Can someone please explain the context he said this in.

All differences in Harakaat of words in Hafs vs. Shu’bah
Salam, so I was wondering if anyone has a list of all different spelling, not actually the rules themself, just the different spelling. If not, does anyone have a online Mushaf for Shu’bah?

Are any Narrations of the Sahabah responding to Requests of Du'a by Saying they're not a Prophet?
Obviously Asking People to make Du'a is permissible but I was reading ash-Shaatibi's book Al-I’tisaam where he ( Seemingly) Quotes Tabari Sa’d Ibn Abi Waqqaas refusing to make Du'a when a crowd gathered and asked if he was a prophet. وأخرج ابن جرير عن سعد بن أبي وقاص أنه لما قدم الشام أتاه رجل فقال...

I have read ash-Shaatibi's explanation where he said they don't someone to think it's a sunnah which makes sense but i am wondering if there is any narrations (With a Isnad) which indicated that asking du'a is best to asked from a prophet as part of their special Status of a Prophet?

I know that the looks of a person are made by Allah and this is shirk but When his mother jokingly said “no courtest of mommy” I also jokingly said no “It is written courtesy of daddy”. Does this act alone constitue kufr even though I no intention of endorsing anything like this but just said what was written.

Is there any advantage to praying in a masjid?
It is known that prayers are accepted wherever you perform them — washrooms and graveyards notwithstanding — and that it is not *required* to go to an actual masjid building to pray. As the prophet said, >The whole earth is a mosque for you, so pray wherever you are when the time for prayer comes. H...
It is known that prayers are accepted wherever you perform them — washrooms and graveyards notwithstanding — and that it is not *required* to go to an actual masjid building to pray. As the prophet said, >The whole earth is a mosque for you, so pray wherever you are when the time for prayer comes. However, I was wondering if there is any solid evidence that praying in the masjid itself has any benefit. I am aware of numerous hadiths which indicate that praying in congregation is much more blessed than praying alone (which is easier to arrange when you're at a masjid,) and also of hadiths which emphasize the importance of responding to the *adhan* (which is usually called from a masjid), and even many which explicitly mention the masjid itself (but clearly in the context of either the congregation or the adhan as above, rather than the actual building), but I don't know of any clear evidences that even this congregational prayer is more valuable inside an actual masjid compared to being prayed just anywhere. Does praying in a masjid give extra reward than praying outside of one?

Hadiths on the most beloved companions to the Prophet (صل الله علیه) from a route other than Amr ibn 'As

I was reviewing and editing [this question](https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/32888/contradictory-hadiths-on-the-most-beloved-individuals-to-the-holy-prophet-in-jam) that I asked long ago and I want to complete my research on it. Back then my issues with it were not reasonably settled. One key issue was that how the three hadiths from at-Tirmidhi which state that Aisha and Abu Bakr were the most beloved individuals to the Holy Prophet (ص) were all narrated by a questionable companion Amr ibn As who is known for his hatred of Ali and war against him in addition to his wars against the Prophet (ص) before the conquest of Mecca. I want to see whether there are other narrations, preferably reliable, in Sunni ahadith that state the same thing about Aisha and Abu Bakr and probably other companions to the exclusion of Ali, Fatima and Bani Hashim in general but from a route other than Amr ibn As. I don't remember whether I surveyed Bukhari and Muslim on this. So help would be appreciated.
