Is there a sound/good hadith that our souls spent eons making tawaf around Allah's throne?
I've heard this from Sh. Umar Faruq Abd-Allah but I can't find anything online about it. He says we made tawaf around the Throne in the company of our friends and loved ones in the dunya.

About Qiyyam ul Lail
I read a hadith that whoever recites 1000 verses (ayahs) during Qiyam-ul-Lail (the night prayer) will be counted among the Qanitin (devout obedient ones). So, I want to ask: if I recite the last Juz (para) of the Quran, which contains more than 500 verses but i only repeat last 100 verses, and I rep...

So, I want to ask: if I recite the last Juz (para) of the Quran, which contains more than 500 verses but i only repeat last 100 verses, and I repeat those same 100 verses 10 times, will my action be considered equivalent to reciting 1000 verses, or will it only be considered as reciting 100 verses?

Is there a flaw in the Kalam Cosmological argument?
Why doesn't this argument work for the cosmological argument for atheism? 1.)Anything that exists needs a cause **(Check) ✔** 2.)The Universe needs a cause **(Check)✔** we know that, because the universe is running down, and something that is running down must have started at some point.

Why doesn't this argument work for the cosmological argument for atheism?
1.)Anything that exists needs a cause **(Check) ✔**
2.)The Universe needs a cause **(Check)✔** we know that, because the universe is running down, and something that is running down must have started at some point. The second law of thermodynamics states that the universe is running out of usable energy and if you doubt this, look in the mirror you’re aging and running down just like everything else.
3.)So there is a First Cause **(Check)✔**
4.)The First Cause requires a decision to initiate a effect **(Check)✔**
**5.)** The First Cause is an unintelligent impersonal unconsciousness, which has only the ability to decide whether to create the universe or not create the universe spontaneously out of itself, so a Yes and No decision. When **(5.)** means Yes and No, It means that it is impersonal as to a frog which can only decide a limited amount of things, e.g to eat the bug or not eat the bug.**(❓❓❓)**
6.)Therefore Allah does not exist.**(❓❓❓)**
Now why does this argument not work? How should a Muslim respond to this?

Why was hereditary slavery permitted in Islam?
I understand the justification for enslaving captives of war, including women and children at the time, but why would a child born to two already enslaved parents also be considered a slave?

I understand the justification for enslaving captives of war, including women and children at the time, but why would a child born to two already enslaved parents also be considered a slave? If the parents are already in Dar al-Islam, integrated into society, then why should their innocent child inherit their status? That seems like it goes against the Quranic principle that “no soul bears the burden of another” (la taziru waziratun wizra ukhra)—especially when there’s no urgent need for it.
Also, I haven’t seen any clear Quranic or hadith evidence that the Prophet ﷺ actually allowed this. If I’m wrong which I 100% might be could you please share any sources and clarify the reasoning behind

**Surat No. 7 Ayat NO. 187
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival? Say, "Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It lays heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly." They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, "Its knowledge is only with Allah , but most of the people do not know."**
Farooq Tejani, who claims to "know" the date of the Hour as Muharram 01, 1532, says that "but 'most' of the people do not know" means that some people know when the Hour will come. How to respond to him?

I have been living in UK and as per state law, one cannot slaughter animals. Some people send money back to their counties e.g Pakistan. I saw a video of Mufti Menk saying that charity should be given to the country charities in which you reside in.
Some people become really patriotic on this subject as they would rather send money to someone who they trust and can distribute accordingly, then some people also start converting money e.g I give to charity which is doing 50£ for a portion of cow, however one relative told in Pakistan it is xxx amount which converts into 130£ but it is same portion of cow.
Should one give to charity or to siblings in Muslim county who can do the sunnah?

Meaning of the word Al Muhsanat in verse 5:5 according to the Zahiri School
I wonder how Zahiri's interpret the word "Al Muhsanat المحصنات" in the context of surah Al-Ma'idah:5. I found [this][1] on *Al-Muhalla* but I couldn't understand it completely. Both the pages 12 and 13 relavant, I guess, in the link that I shared. [1]: https://shamela.ws/book/767/3762#p1

The problem with the Shafi'i position on swallowing phlegm and mucus when fasting

I have trouble following the Shafi'i madhab concerning what invalidates fasting. According to the madhab one must try to expel mucus and phlegm everytime one feels them in the throat; but only when it's possible. Which means you have to constantly try to get mucus and phlegm out because, like saliva, the build up of phlegm and mucus is a constant mechanism. One won't know whether it's possible or not possible without trying. If one doesn't try then it would risk invalidating the fast. Only when it's not possible will one is excused. I find this undue hardship and it makes fasting an impossibility. I need help because I've been in a state of despair for so long especially considering how many years of Ramadhan were potentially invalidated.

Why is jealousy among women unpardonable and a sign of faith in men?

While hunting for reference to the narration mentioned here I stumbled upon this quote by Imam Ali(s.a.) in Nahj al-Balagha :
> Jealousy in woman is unpardonable but in man it is a sign of his faith
> in religion (because Islam has permitted polygamy and prohibited
> polyandry).
I fail to comprehend the following thing in regards to *jealousy*:
1. why is it unpardonable for women?
2. conversely, why is it a sign of faith in religion for men?
3. what has 1. and 2. got to do with the permission and prohibition of polygamy and polyandry respectively in Islam?

Does "nur" in Qur'an 71:16 mean "reflected light" or just "light"?
Regarding the verse [71:16][1]: > وَجَعَلَ ٱلْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا > > And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a > burning lamp I saw an Arab atheist claiming that the meaning of the Arabic word nur is not "reflected light"; its meaning is just "l...
Regarding the verse 71:16 :
> وَجَعَلَ ٱلْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا
>
> And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a
> burning lamp
I saw an Arab atheist claiming that the meaning of the Arabic word nur is not "reflected light"; its meaning is just "light".
If its meaning is " reflected light" there is no problem, but if its meaning renders " light" there is a problem because then the above verse will be considered a scientific error.
Could you please provide the proper meaning of nur according to authentic references?

Pharaoh told: come in Damned! Satan answered: a damned one joined the other damn! Pharaoh asked him why you have not prostrated Adam to avoid to being outcast and damned. Satan answered: Because someone like you was on descendant of Adam!
Pharaoh asked: do you know anyone worse than you and I on the ground? Satan told: the jealous person is worse than you and I. Jealousy eats the good works as fire burns the wood.
