There are some very long surahs in the Qur'an, such as Al-Baqarah, Al-Imran, and An-Nisa. While I have read some hadith, such as this one , about such long surahs being recited during obligatory prayers during the period of revelation, presumably it is not practical for most people to do so at present times due to busy work schedules. If a surah is being recited during a rakat of one of the five obligatory prayers, is it necessary to recite it in its entirety or it is acceptable to recite only a part of it, such as the ayat ul-kursi ? If it is acceptable to recite only a portion, what are the rules governing what length must be recited in order for the prayer to be valid?

My baby boy is 6 months old. He eats baby food in-addition to breast Milk.If my baby passed urine on my body,do I need to bath or can I just wash the wet area so that my Salah will get accepted.

This time my period is not going , 15 days are completed but the blood is still there, normally it is for 6 or 7 days , should I offer salah or should I just wait?

i want to learn the grammar of the quran from some books I found. They are available for free on the Internet Archive. I think almost all books have on their first pages the quote "All rights reserved" or there is a clear sign that it has copyright. Only on the second volume of a book I want to read, the copyright isn't clear but the first volume of this book has the copyright so you can say that the second volume also has copyright. Also some books are I think public domain because the "first" time these books were published, it was before 1923. Can someone help regarding these topic: Islamic ruling of reading books online for free, Public domain (halal or haram) and also books on the internet archive that have this text:

Can jinns take things from your house, even insignificant things that you don't want just to cause confusion? If they wanted to misguide people could they move images/idols?

My question might sound stupid but I attained puberty very recently and I don't know the answers to these questions. I tried many other sources but with no success. 1. If you *woke up with a erection* does that indicate that you had a nocturnal ejaculation ? 2. If you *had a ejaculation yesterday is it possible to have a nocturnal ejaculation today* also ? Like wouldn't all the mani go out with the first ejaculation ? The above two questions' italicised parts indicate my situation. Yesterday I had an ejaculation so isy it possible to have a nocturnal ejaculation today also ? What's more today when I woke up I had an erection. When I checked my underwear I couldn't find any liquid stains but I was wearing a chequered multicolour underwear which makes it difficult to identify any stains in the first place - I checked very well but I couldnt see any stains. What's more there is a hole in my underwear and when I woke up my penis was poking out of this hole and touching my trouser. On my trouser there was some small patches about 0.5 cm in diameter. However you could only notice them if you looked very carefully. I smelt it but I couldn't Identify a big difference in smell from the area with the patches and the area without the patches on my trouser. They say dried semen smells like rotten eggs but I don't know what rotten eggs smell like and I haven't smelt semen before. The patches had a slight smell but not a strong one. I could be psychologically fooled ( I have waswas problem too ). The patches could be very well water or wadhi but I am not sure. In this situation I am unable to decide whether I have had a nocturnal ejaculation or not. I don't remember having a sexual dream but you have to do ghusl anyway if mani came out . I am unable to decide whether I have released mani or not. In this case it would be useful if you could answer questions 1 and 2 above so that I can arrive at a conclusion. Edit : I did a small test that I do after ejaculation. Which is to take a tissue and wipe the tip of the penis. If the tip feels sticky that means semen must have come out. If not no semen must have come out . I did the test and the tip didn't feel sticky .But this method is not foolproof as it cannot indicate the presence of dry semen. However I checked the tip of my pen is an coudnt see any dried substance there. But I am still not sure whether I ejaculated or not. Is this test suffice to proof that I have not ejaculated against the patches that are on my trouser ? Please answer me before the time for Zuhr prayer ends so I can either take ghusl and pray or just pray

I live in an islamic country. And mosque is very close to my house. But if i still pray at home will it be counted ?

I would like to know the usage of wa iyyakum. When is it best used and, any restrictions What does "wa iyyakum" mean? When do we use "wa iyyakum". Jazak Allah Khair for the answer

*This question is not related to these two verses only. These are just for reference.* Many searchers say Islams give the concept of flat earth which is contrary to what it is. > Sura An-Naziat (79:30) > > And after that He spread the earth; and > Sura Al-Kahf (18:86) > >Until, when he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a spring of black muddy (or hot) water. And he found near > it a people. We (Allâh) said (by inspiration): "O Dhul-Qarnain! Either > you punish them, or treat them with kindness." among many others. I have also come across Muslim brothers who believe the mountains act as pegs so that earth can not move. Is this a correct interpretation from Quran? Can we interpret from the Holy Quran, the earth is flat or it is round or it simply shed no light on it.

Assalamu Alaikum wr wb, I just started praying and only the basics so I don't know the arabic words for Ayat al-Kursi which can be read after prayer for great reward. So I was wondering can I just look at the verse on my phone and read it in English or does it have to be read in arabic from memorisation? Also does it have to be read after the fard prayer or after the extra optional prayers for Dhuhr, Maghrib and Isha?

Salam i want to know that if masturbation is indeed a major sin but is it adultry or is it fornication and can someone repent or ask forgiveness from it? Are there anyways for it to be erased?

For example, a teenager is asked by his friends if he watches porn(let’s pretend the teenager does watch porn), and the teenager replies no because he’s too embarrassed to tell them. Is this a sin?

There has been a debate in Deobandi and Barelvi about Salat-o-Salam. While Deobandi say it is important to send salam (salat-o-salam) to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), as He can listen and emphasis of children to join the mosque which sends out salat-o-salam after Namaz.
I don't know much about Islam as I am coming back towards it but I never heard of Salat-o-Salam or Muhammad (PBUH) Darood being different than Darood Ibrahim, as I thought it was the same.
My question is, is there any different Darood for both prophets and why there is so much difference between deobandi and barailvi. what are the core differences?

I was out with my friends and they were drinking alcohol. I did NOT drink alcohol. I know for sure that anyone who drinks alcohol their prayers will not be accepted for 40 days. Anyone who sits with someone drinking alcohol even if they don't drink, it is like they are sinning the same as the one who drinks alcohol. Is this true? Does this mean my prayers are not accepted for 40 days? (even though I did not drink and was only with someone that drinks)

I am 13 years old, and a girl. I used to masturbate, I repented and I really regret doing those things. Ever since I quit masturbating, I felt a little better but I was still worried about the consequences. I started to ejaculate almost everyday and since ejaculation is haram, I became so afraid, I started crying because I couldn't control my ejaculation. Yesterday, I closed my eyes and said 'Allah please help me stop ejaculating. I want to be a good muslim. Ameen' But it didn't work. I keep ejaculating out of nowhere, even though I haven't masturbated. I feel like Allah will never accept my wudu, ghusl, dua, and prayer because I feel like my ejaculation is going to interrupt. Is it normal to be ejaculating like this? Will it ever end? I don't want to go to hell, please help!

I found that mushaf in my country is different in style of writing to that which come from Makkah. Probably most of the (old) mushafs in my country use Indopak style. However the religious council said that it is Uthmani. Here is the example of mushaf from Makkah (I add tatweel into "lillah" word so it will not be rendered by using unicode arabic ligature لله): > ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّـهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ > > - Alef-lams use alef wasla > - "Lillah" word uses fatha above shadda > - Both fatha and superscript alef is added to ain Here is the example of mushaf in my country (I also add tatweel into "lillah" word): > اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰـهِ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِينَ > > - Alef-lams use normal alef (and also fatha if it is at first word) > - "Lillah" word uses superscript alef above shadda > - Only superscript alef is added to ain My questions are: 1. Are both of them considered as rasm Uthmani? 2. If both are Uthmani, is there any term to call this difference? 3. How many style that exist in the world? E.g. standard madani, indopak, etc (I don't know). My question is not about the difference in qiraat like [this question](https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/33304/how-many-spellings-do-exist-for-qurans-text-how-many-rasm-al-mushaf-do-we-have) , but about the style of writing. **UPDATE** More example of difference: > أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ > > أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ > > اَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُوْنَ الْقُرْاٰنَ

Salam, I read in a book that when wahi was revealed to the prophet, some of his companions used to write down the wahi. The book mentions that these companions are called "Kuththabul Wahi" . I couldn't verify this name from another source . Is this correct ? Jazakallahu Khair

> The Prophet said, “Verily, Gabriel came to me and he said: Whoever reaches the month of Ramadan and he is not forgiven, then he will enter Hellfire and Allah will cast him far away, so say ameen. I said ameen. I know I’ve asked this question before but I need to know the context behind this Hadith. It makes me more worried that no one answers this question. I’m just scared because I feel like I wasted my Ramadan. I fasted the entire month but I missed so many prayers due to laziness and some personal issues especially on the last ten days. I also had some small arguments with my parents. I repented for that but I still feel guilty. Does this mean I won’t ever be forgiven and I’m going straight to Hell? Even if the answer is something bad I’d still appreciate if someone helps me out and lets me know, please.

I heard that zoroastrians were called Majus in Quran, and people that practiced shirk religions were called Mushrikeen.

When I’m in sujood after saying subhana rabbial alaa can I glorify allah by saying his names like ya Malik and ya jabbar and etc and than say my dua
