I have a really specific situation. I need to get a minimum grade of BBB in my exams however I feel as though I will get far from this. It is compulsory I get these grades otherwise I cannot continue with education. However I didn't finish two of the exams, so I am not confident at all.
My question is, is there any chance through making dua and praying 2/3 of the night for a long time, and sincerely asking Allah to help me get three B's is it possible?
I know with Allah anything is possible. However I mean is it realistic? I would need a miracle. I am desperate for these grades however I don't think it's realistic. What should I do? Prayer and dua is my only option.

Refund from zionist company
Salam'Alaykoum, I know that falsely claiming a refund (e.g. saying a package wasn’t received) is normally haram due to dishonesty.

Salam'Alaykoum,
I know that falsely claiming a refund (e.g. saying a package wasn’t received) is normally haram due to dishonesty. But what about when the company is a large multinational that openly supports Zionist causes and contributes to oppression in Gaza?
Does the ruling stay the same in this context, or is there any scholarly nuance? I’m not doing this — just trying to understand the fiqh position. Any sources would be helpful.

Hadith Explanation about the Arrival of Apocalypse
Assalamu 'alaikum, I remember reading a Hadith in Bukhari. The summary is: Once a few rural barefooted people visit our Prophet (PBUH). They ask him, "When will Qiyamah arrive?"

Assalamu 'alaikum,
I remember reading a Hadith in Bukhari. The summary is:
Once a few rural barefooted people visit our Prophet (PBUH). They ask him, "When will Qiyamah arrive?"
Our Prophet (PBUH) then pointed to the youngest of the group and said, "Before he becomes old."
Our Prophet said those words nearly fourteen centuries ago, and I don't expect the man,our Prophet pointed to, to remain young till Qiyamah comes, because if he were young up to now, it'd have been known to us. I presume our Prophet meant something else by it.
Though I've only paraphrased the Hadith, I'm sure there's nothing more to it. I look for a clear explanation of it.
May Allah bless you.

Assalamualaikum,
I am a 3D artist and I recently started searching for clients that I can freelance for but I am confused what kind of clients should I work with I mean I know I can't be working with businesses that make haram products so that is in control.
But when I make the ads for those companies I do not add any audio but they might add some kind of song or maybe add some haram elements later in the future.
So I just wanted to know if it halal to be working with those businesses.
Thank you :)

Asalamualaikum,
My question is in regards to the following narration mentioned here:
https://shamela.ws/book/103/15473
Firstly is this narration authentic or made up. In this narration a man is brought after consummation with his young cousin. Yet he is pardoned for what he has done marrying her young so he has a stake on her wealth so she has no say in the future. In addition, she is blood stained and crying suggesting there was pain or harm in what he has done. Is there no empathy for her suffering? Why was he pardoned for all that considering the verse in the quran emphasizing doing justice to orphans?

During a period of anger, my husband said the triple talaq. As a revert, I didn't understand the consequence of what he was saying and I've had to Google this. Is it really true that I'm now divorced with no hope of reconciliation?
I was drawn to the beauty of Islam by it's fairness, reading book after book on how fair Islam is to women and how we we are given more rights than are given in society and the Catholic faith I came from. Please can someone clarify this for me and offer some explanation on how this protects women. This has really knocked my faith.
