Looking for an Adhan

how are men and women equal in reward and punishment

Scholars have often stated that men and women are equal in terms of reward and punishment and that true superiority is in piety and good deeds. However, scholars also appear to imply that men have been created naturally more committed religiously, and that women have been created as being 'religiously deficient' by nature which sounds contradictory to spiritual equality. Here is a hadith regarding women's deficiency in religious commitment: > The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) > said: “I have not seen any lacking in reason and religious commitment > but (at the same time) more able to rob the wisdom of the wise, except > one of you [women].” They said: How are we lacking in religious > commitment and reason, O Messenger of Allah? He said: “Is not the > testimony of a woman like half the testimony of a man?” They said: > Yes. He said: “That is how she is lacking in reason. And when she > menstruates, does she not refrain from praying and fasting?” They > said: Yes. He said: “That is how she is lacking in religious > commitment.” How can women and men be equal in reward and punishment, when this 'natural lack of religious commitment compared to men' means that women get the short end of the stick by way of their creation, and that it is easier for men be more 'pious'?

Is my fast valid if I do ghusl after eating sohor?
Sometimes when I wake up for fasting, I notice I had ejaculated (not the result of masturbation, but a wet dream). Despite that fact, I eat and drink completely, then I do ghusl in order to pray al-fajr. Given I ate while not pure, will this fast be accepted?

They have a certain reason of not going to the nearby mosque as the mosque doesn't do Salat-o-Salam and people tend to only offer fard so they think it is wahabi masjid

Is there any hadith or Quranic ayat which encourages just memorizing Quran without understanding it? In our country Pakistan, it is a well established common thing to memorize Quran but those people don't understand even a single ayat and still think that they will be able to provide intercession for their family on the day of qiyamah. Please give references for both sides of this argument.

I really need some guidance on my situation. I have a problem where I bleed all the time sometimes it's light, and other times it's heavy, but overall, I’m constantly on my period. I’ve seen doctors, but they haven’t been able to help much. However, I believe birth control can regulate my period, and the doctors suggested I take it. The problem is, I don’t want to risk my health by taking birth control every day, as I don’t think it’s healthy. So, I’ve just been living with this condition. My question is: Can I still pray and fast? I stopped praying and fasting because I believe this blood isn’t pure it feels like my body is detoxing and getting rid of bad blood. Can someone please help me understand what to do in this situation?

In a report in bukhari, three men made dua to Allah, using wasilah/tawassul (intercession) of their good deeds, when they were trapped in a cave. https://sunnah.com/bukhari:2215 My question is can an individual use three unique wasilah for the same dua. Like 1. He didn't commit suicide for the sake of Allah. 2. He didn't abort third offspring when female contraceptive, copper-T failed (kids were 4 & 2 years old). 3. He didn't have a house and yet prefered major pilgrimage when Allah blessed him with wealth. Can this individual use all the three deeds for the same dua to increase the likelihood of getting accepted? The report of bukhari only mentions wasilah of one good deed.

It is not for you to be arrogant here. So get out! You are truly one of the disgraced.” ***Can verse 7:12 be taken as establishment of proof***? Also it will be a bonus if it is answered whether iblis had prior knowledge of superiority of adam

Compensation for time in plasma center
So the plasma center near me says you can donate plasma and you're compensated for your time. This doesn't fall under selling blood does it, as you're getting paid for the time you spend donating vs the actual blood?

I'm a socially conscious musician. I rhyme about things that occur in society in order to bring awareness. I don't swear in my music nor do I encourage anything that is un-islamic, in my lyrics. A lot of my music has positive messages for society. I've recently employed someone to manage my gigs and recordings. I sometimes have to perform at venues where they serve alcohol. These institutions pay me for a gig and some of that money is obviously acquired with the sale of alcohol. What can I do with that money? Is that money considered haram for me to spend? If so, what can I do with it? Can I give it to a beggar? I know that money earned out of interest can be used to build a toilet for a community. I don't know if I will get that amount of money to build such a structure so some realistic ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Does this hadith (Aisha and the 11 housewives) prove that Music is allowed in islam? And how does it relate to other hadith?
the two hadith in question are ( Aisha and the 11 housewives) ->[Sahih al-Bukhari 5189 Book 67, Hadith 123](https://sunnah.com/bukhari/67/123) & ->[Sahih Muslim 2448a Book 44, Hadith 135](https://sunnah.com/muslim:2448a) & ->[Ash-Shama'il Al-Muhammadiyah 252 Book 38, Hadith 1](https://sunnah.com/sha...
the two hadith in question are ( Aisha and the 11 housewives) ->[Sahih al-Bukhari 5189 Book 67, Hadith 123](https://sunnah.com/bukhari/67/123) & ->[Sahih Muslim 2448a Book 44, Hadith 135](https://sunnah.com/muslim:2448a) & ->[Ash-Shama'il Al-Muhammadiyah 252 Book 38, Hadith 1](https://sunnah.com/shamail:252) : 'A'isha reported that (one day) there sat together eleven women making an explicit promise amongst themselves that they would conceal nothing about their spouses. ... The tenth one said: My husband is Malik, and how fine Malik is, much above appreciation and praise (of mine). He has many folds of his camel, more in number than the pastures for them. When they (the camels) hear the sound of music/lute/tambourine/flute ( الْمِزْهَرِ) they become sure that they are going to be slaughtered. قَالَتِ الْعَاشِرَةُ‏:‏ زَوْجِي مَالِكٌ، وَمَا مَالِكٌ مَالِكٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذَلِكِ، لَهُ إِبِلٌ كَثِيرَاتُ الْمَبَارِكِ، قَلِيلاتُ الْمَسَارِحِ، إِذَا سَمِعْنَ صَوْتَ الْمِزْهَرِ ، أَيْقَنَّ أَنَّهُنَّ هَوَالِكُ .... So basically, my logic tells me that the people of Mecca/Medina apparently listened to the sound of the flute/lute/tambourine before they would slaughter camels and have dinner festivals (and this practice happened during the jahil, ignorance, time peroid and while the prophet was sill alive). Mizhar (الْمِزْهَرِ) means lute or a string instrument like a guitar or oud but can also mean tambourine or flute (مِزْمرِ) was mentioned in another narration. There is not mention of silk, wine, or sexual intercourse in the hadith above just only the musical insturment and feast gathering (since all hadith on the prohibition of musical interments always include prostitutes and alcohol). Because the 5590 hadith in bukhari mentions after the death of prophet Muhammad (pbuh) people will legalize the four things (silk, wine, fornication, musical instruments). But the musical insturments is happening during the time of the prophethood according the the above hadith, so how do we interpert ma'azif ( وَالْمَعَازِفَ ) if apparently wind and string insturments are supposedly haram, but here string instruments are being used when slaughtering camels? The prophet pbuh did not condemn festivals/dinner gatherings with music involved in authentic hadith. And the hadith above is authentic in both Bukhari and Muslim unlinke the 5590 hadith in bukahri which is only authentic is bukhari collection (and some scholars criticized it's authenticity). neither Aisha nor prophet muhammad (pbuh) critized the tenth wife or abu malik for playing the mizhar (الْمِزْهَرِ) so are insturments haram? And what does this mean for the alleged consensus that all companions of the prophet pbuh believed that music was sinful. Does this hadith cancel the consensus notion?

Actually, this came to me when I was watching some shieks talking about music status in Islam, and referring to the famous hadith that says: > There will be a group of my people who will make permissible for themselves adultery, pure silk, intoxicants and musical instruments (English ). Now, some scholars say that because this hadith make it clear that musical instruments are not permissible, then it is haram. What I know is that things and matters can be in one of three states regarding permissibility: Halah, Haram, and In Between. Now, the above mentioned hadith says musical instruments are not permissible (Halal), but that doesn't mean it is Haram as there is another category, In Between. The question again: **If something is not Halal, does that mean it's Haram?**

In many sources is mentioned that instruments or making music is unlawful but there are opposite ideas too. For example here. So assuming the discussion concludes in the result of music being haram; 1) What to do with the instruments at home? Throw them away like alcohol or can they stay just there untouched (except occasional dust cleaning). 2) What to do with music you hear unwillingly at work/in the market/on the street etc. Should we really put our fingers into our ears? (Which is very difficult if you have a hijab on your head btw.)

I am not that a particularly devout person but I wish to become more devout. I used to play music a lot but since it is haram, I left it. Before, apart from my studies and salat, I used to play music in my free time. But after leaving it I am becoming addicted to pornography and I am missing my salat. Before leaving music I used to pray salat and saum regularly, never forgot them, and I never saw porn before. But after leaving music I am going further astray day by day. As long as I play music, I don't feel it has any bad effect over me. I was religious, meritorious and honest by the grace of Almighty Allah but now the scene is opposite. Should I return playing music occasionally as it only made be better?

One of you should pray in good spirits. When he is lazy or tired, he should sit down. (sunnah.com ) I've always envisioned the Prophet as having the utmost highest standards of prayer. So this maybe is not regular behavior. **Question**: Is it acceptable to pray sitting down because of laziness?
