Does Qur'an invite us to go and preach everyone or it invites us to go and have endless debates or there are certain limits? Are there any points where the debate should end? Does Qur'an or the narrations offer any guidelines for this? Or there are no guidelines and we should keep the debate/discussion ongoing no matter if the person keeps denying?

I've been told that Muslims are allowed to eat camels but we're not allowed to eat horses. Why? I thought the reason why they couldn't eat horses was to do with the fact that people use them as a form of transport (well, they did in the prophets time). But camels were also used as a form of transport, so why can we eat them?

I once read in an Islamqa fatawa that cursing others will revoke your right to intercession if you are among the believers who were appointed to heaven. Is it true? If it is, then what are the hadiths that say so?

I want to know the status of the following narration that says that Jesus (Alaihisalam) is the same as Imam Mahdi:- > وروى: الإمام أحمد بإسناد صحيح، وعبد بن حميد، وابن أبي حاتم، والطبراني، > وابن مردويه؛ عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم؛ > قال: «يوشك من عاش منكم أن يلقى عيسى ابن مريم إماما مهديا وحكما عدلا، > فيكسر الصليب، ويقتل الخنزير، ويضع الجزية، وتضع الحرب أوزارها» > > [\[Musnad Ahmad, 8955\]] > > > : > https://equranlibrary.com/hadith/musnadahmad/31/8955;jsessionid=HT6ULEx3jiKGCSvbcTeuhHQaPh72pJjEcoXHACmu.vps217591 What is the authenticity of this narration? I have always believed that Imam Mahdi (Alaihisalam) and Jesus (Alaihisalam) are two different people. **Can someone please explain this? Jazakallah.**

Nowadays we have all prevalent forms of government in Islamic Ummah Muslim-majority countries: 1. Autocracy /dictatorship (most common... Egypt, Bangladesh, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, ...) 2. Absolute monarchy (numerous... Saudi Arabia is the most prominent) 3. Democracy (only a handful... Tunisia is one of them) 4. Theocracy (Iran is **probably** the only example) My questions: 1. Does Islam suggest any structure of government? 2. Among above four, What type of government is suggested by Islam? 3. Does Islam explicitly/implicitly support/reject democracy? Note.1: *I am looking for a **Sunni** view in particular .* Note.2: *Kindly, don't give quotations from Quran/Hadith **inline**. First, state a point and give an external link of Quran/Hadith.* . Related: According to Shi'ites, what type of government is suggested by Islam?

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers in Islam, How could our beloved Prophet Muhammed (saw) see the punishment of the hell fire and that most inhabitants would be women and other aspects of the after life, when the judgement day hasn't arrived yet?

From sunnah.com: > Strange are the ways of a believer for there is good in every affair > of his and this is not the case with anyone else except in the case of > a believer for if he has an occasion to feel delight, he thanks (God), > thus there is a good for him in it, and if he gets into trouble and > shows resignation (and endures it patiently), there is a good for him > in it. **—Sahih Muslim, Book 55, Hadith 82** Is there a version of this hadith (or a similar hadith) where it says (something like), “something good happens and **the believer says alhamdulillah**; or something bad happens, and **the believer says alhamdulliah**.”

In hadith Sahih Muslim 2942 preislamic companions of prophet found Dajjal chained on an island. This beast tells them to go to this monastery. They find him chained up. Why didn't they kill him? If someone claims to be the antichrist and will harm your people in the future, why not end it now then?

this is about this text in quran 5:6 : >ighsiloo wujoohakum waaydiyakum ila almarafiqi waimsahoo biruoosikum waarjulakum ila alkaAAbayni it can be translated 2 ways: simple translation of it is as in the "Word for Word" translation: >wash your faces and your hands till the elbows and wipe your heads and your feet till the ankles other translation is as in this "Umm Muhammad (Sahih International)" translation: >wash your faces and your forearms to the elbows and wipe over your heads and wash your feet to the ankles see also question 16264 . in https://islamqa.info/en/answers/69761/is-it-obligatory-to-wash-the-feet-or-wipe-them-during-wudoo they say: > there are two readings of this verse. > > 1 – Wa arjulakum (and your feet), with a fathah on the laam. In this > case the word “feet” is mentioned in conjunction with the word wajh > (face), and the face is to be washed, so the feet are to be washed > too. So it is as if the verse is basically saying: “Wash your faces, > your arms up to the elbows and your feet up to the ankles, and wipe > your heads,” but mention of washing the feet is put after mention of > wiping the head so as to indicate that this is the order in which the > parts of the body are washed in wudoo’: washing the face, then the > arms, then wiping the head, then washing the feet. > > ... > > 2 – Wa arjulikum, with a kasrah on the laam. In this case it is > mentioned in conjunction with the word ra’s (head), and the head is to > be wiped, so the feet are to be wiped too. > > But the Sunnah shows that one may wipe over the feet only when wearing > leather slippers or socks, subject to the conditions that are well > known in the Sunnah. so, they say, in case of 1st reading , that sophisticated grammar of connecting the word "waarjulakum" to other words over other branch of sentence should be used. logic of this is not explained there. i understand its logic this way: since it is "wujoohakum waaydiyakum", (not "wujoohikum waaydiyikum" and not "wujoohukum waaydiyukum"), "waarjulakum" is together with them because it also has "a" in that place (ie it is not "waarjulikum" or "waarjulukum"). if it is "waarjulikum" it is together with "biruoosikum" because they both have "i" in that position. do i understand its logic correctly? if so, are there other cases of similar technique in quran, where use of "i" or "a" may connect a word to its "friends" over other branch of sentence? or, at least, cases where both of "i" and "a" could be used, but they are selected to be similar (like in agreement ) in "friends" (verbs in coordination ). or, if not in quran, are there examples in other old texts? i would like to see that examples as proofs.

is being a bts fan haram ? As’Salamu ‘Alaykum i am a sixteen year old girl and i am obsessed with a boy band called “bts”, i talk about them more than I have of Allah SWT and Prophet Mohammed PBUH ( i always say astaghfirullah when such thoughts come a lot instead Allah SWT and Prophet Mohammed PBUH ), bts are seven boy's in their twenties and they’re not like other boy bands (aggressive music, bad words), they spread positivity through their music ( no bad words, reminding people to love themselves ) and also have done and are still doing charity work. is it okay to be a 1. a bts fan 2. attending bts concerts 3. attend bts related gatherings 4. my friends parent told her that if she’s a fan of someone and loves them a lot but if the person is a christian, on the day of judgement she will go to hellfire with them. is this true ? there are many muslim girls and boys who are doing the same thing obsessing over “bts” and forgetting Allah SWT and their are some like me, who are seeking for answers if it is okay to be a fan. not obsessing but just a fan of seven boys, who are singers spreading a positive message. yubarikuk Allah wu wa ʿalaykumu s-salām.

Assalaamu Alaikum, I recently had a discussion/argument with my bud regarding this. According to his Aalim Muslims should talk a bit while eating because Yahoodi(Jews) do not talk while eating so as part of Muqalifat(in offense) Muslims should talk? He didn't prove this by any evidence which I asked for but still the question arises, if an Aalim has commented on this. So if anybody has any reference to this or the correct evidence to prove this wrong or right please let all our brothers and sisters know it. Jazaakallahu Khair.

In the verse 2:238: > Guard strictly your [habit of] prayers, especially the Middle Prayer; and stand before Allah in a devout [frame of mind]. What does Middle Prayer mean?

In my childhood, I heard stories like if a person misses a prayer, he is punished so and so years in hell fire. In the modern Islam, I do not hear of these. What is the exact punishment of missing a single prayer? Is there any truth of punishiment of so and so years for missing a prayer?

The Qur'an put in the law of "an eye for an eye": >"We ordained therein for them: 'Life for life, eye for eye, nose or nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal.' But if any one remits the retaliation by way of charity, it is an act of atonement for himself. And if any fail to judge by (the light of) what God has revealed, they are (no better than) wrong-doers" [[Quran 5:45](http://quran.com/5/45)] . Amputation for theft: > “[As for] the thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands in recompense for what they earned [i.e. committed] as a deterrent [punishment] from Allaah. And Allaah is Exalted in Might and Wise.” [[Quran 5:38](http://quran.com/5/38)] Does the value of the stolen item equal the value of a hand? What is the value of a hand? Should death be a permanent, final, punishment for a temporary "fling", adultery? Death for leaving Islam? You haven't killed anyone, but stopped believing, so you die?

Did the Prophet Muhammad (saws) ever see Allah (SWT)?
