Are the Sunni madh'habs limited to 4?
Usually it is said that Sunni schools of fiqh are 4 (Hanbali, Shafi'i, Maliki, Hanafi). Is it true that some Sunni scholars like Abubakr, Ahmad and Bayhaqi had a higher level of knowledge than founders of above 4 madhabs but their madhhabs didn't survive?

Is it true that some Sunni scholars like Abubakr, Ahmad and Bayhaqi had a higher level of knowledge than founders of above 4 madhabs but their madhhabs didn't survive?
How many Sunni schools of fiqh are there if they are not limited to 4? And why didn't they survive?

Can anybody explain this hadeeth, in Sahih al-Bukhari,
Volume 9, Book 84, Number 71 :
>Narrated 'Itban bin Malik:
Once Allah's Apostle came to me in the morning, and a man among us said, "Where is Malik bin Ad-Dukhshun?" Another man from us replied, "He is a hypocrite who does not love Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet said, "Don't you think that he says: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, only for Allah's sake?" They replied, "Yes" The Prophet said, "Nobody will meet Allah with that saying on the Day of Resurrection, but Allah will save him from the Fire."
I thought we did everything for allahs sake,I thought we were muslims for him as well. When i pray I get sluggish and think i will only do it for allahs sake, or when am selfish i think i will share it but it is because allah orders me to so i should pay zakah. Question is does that make me a hypocrite according to this hadeeth?

Did the Prophet say "lesbianism among women is zina between them"?
From an [IslamWeb][4] fatwa: > ...[At-Tabarani][1] reported in Al-Kabeer, and [Abu Ya’la][2], and [As-Suyooti][3] classified it as hasan (good), from Waathilah may Allaah be pleased with him that **the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam (may Allaah exalt his mention) said, "Lesbianism among women...
From an IslamWeb fatwa:
> ...At-Tabarani reported in Al-Kabeer, and Abu Ya’la , and As-Suyooti classified it as hasan (good), from Waathilah may Allaah be pleased with him that **the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam (may Allaah exalt his mention) said, "Lesbianism among women is Zina (fornication or adultery) between them."**
There is also a similar quote at another IslamWeb fatwa . There's another version of the hadith with the same reference:
> "Lesbianism by women is adultery between them" -- Habeeb Akande, A Taste of Honey: Sexuality and Erotology in Islam , 2015 (p. 148)
**Question**: Did the Prophet actually say "lesbianism among women is zina between them" or words to this effect?
I'm wanting to pinpoint this hadith, verify it's legitimate, and check that the translation is accurate.
In principle, I could track down Al-Kabeer and identify what it says. However, I don't believe I have access to Al-Kabeer, nor do I speak Arabic. Googling
site:sunnah.com lesbianism doesn't give any hits.

How accurate are these statements about the naming of Safina?
The Muslim historian, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, has recorded the following > Mahran was renamed (by Muhammad) Safina (i.e. ship). He himself relates his own story. He says, “The apostle of God and his companions went on a trip. When their belongings became too heavy for them to carry, Muhammad told me...
The Muslim historian, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyya, has recorded the following
> Mahran was renamed (by Muhammad) Safina (i.e. ship). He himself relates his own story. He says, “The apostle of God and his companions went on a trip. When their belongings became too heavy for them to carry, Muhammad told me, ‘Spread your garment.’ They filled it with their belongings, then they put it on me. The apostle of God told me, ‘Carry it for you are a ship.’ Even if I was carrying a load of six or seven donkeys while we were on a journey, anyone who felt weak would throw his clothes or his shield or his sword on me so I would carry that, a heavy load. The prophet told me, ‘You are a ship’” (Ibn Qayyim, pp. 115–116, al Hulya, vol. l, p. 369, quoted from Amad 5:222).
I actually got this from an Anti-Islam website (http://www.faithdefenders.com/islam/muhammad_the_racist_prophet.html) , which claim that this shows how "racist" Islam really is. I tried looking more into the context but unfortunately couldn't find any. For those who are familiar with it, how accurate are these quotes?

Why do only women need a wali for nikah?
If the Quran states that believers are equal, whether men or women, why does only a woman need a wali to get married?

Many Muslim clerics wants to get rid Ahok, a christian governor of Jakarta.
They quoted Al Maidah 51. They said that Muslims must pick non Muslim leaders.
That means, they said, Muslims in Jakarta should not vote Ahok.
However, Ahok is a fine governor. Most of our governor were corrupt. Things went better since he became governor. People expect Ahok to win easily on election.
However, his anti corruption stance means many officials with links to the clerics lost a lot of money.
Is this true?
Muslims cannot vote for a non Muslim governor?
Thousands were marching when a governor said they are being lied to by some people by using that quranic verse

Did Allah keep Zayd's ex-wife for marriage to Muhammad? (Qur'an 33:6 and 33:37)
Sura Ahzab-33 Ayat-37 And [remember, O Muhammad], when you said to the one on whom Allah bestowed favor and you bestowed favor, "Keep your wife and fear Allah," while you concealed within yourself that which Allah is to disclose. And you feared the people, while Allah has more right that you fear Hi...
Sura Ahzab-33 Ayat-37
And [remember, O Muhammad], when you said to the one on whom Allah
bestowed favor and you bestowed favor, "Keep your wife and fear Allah," while you concealed within yourself that which Allah is to disclose. And
you feared the people, while Allah has more right that you fear Him. **So when
Zayd had no longer any need for her**, We married her to you in order that there not be
upon the believers any discomfort concerning the wives of their
adopted sons when they no longer have need of them.
And ever is the command of Allah accomplished.
Sura Ahzab-33 Ayat-6
**The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves, and
his wives are [in the position of] their mothers**. And those of
[blood] relationship are more entitled [to inheritance] in the
decree of Allah than the [other] believers and the emigrants,
except that you may do to your close associates a kindness
[through bequest]. That was in the Book inscribed.
The wives of The Prophet Muhammad SAW are mothers of Mominin in Ayat 6 and Ayat 37 when Zayd divorced his wife Allah kept her (the former wife of Zayd) in marriage Of Muhammad SAW? Please help me understand it..... what is full meaning of ayat in the context.

Why do sects insist on existing even though it is clearly forbidden?
there are some verses in the Quran which clearly prohibit to be in sects or to identify oneself as someone other than a plain muslim, so why do sects insist on existing even though it is clearly forbidden?
