Question about the orbits
in Quran 21:33 and Quran 36:40 are the sun and moons orbits meant from our perspective? (with the rising and setting of them) bc the orbits of the day and night seem to mean from our perspectives so wouldnt the same apply for the sun and moon? i know the sun has its own orbit, but in these verses th...
in Quran 21:33 and Quran 36:40 are the sun and moons orbits meant from our perspective? (with the rising and setting of them) bc the orbits of the day and night seem to mean from our perspectives so wouldnt the same apply for the sun and moon?
i know the sun has its own orbit, but in these verses the way the day and night and sun and moons orbits are mentioned seems relative to each other and it wouldnt make sense that the suns orbit affects the day and night
The word being used, falak, فلك, is it referring strictly to a circular motion of the sun and moons orbits? Or can it refer to the way we see the sun and moon rising and setting in a curved way?

Hello hope you are all well. So I live in adult foster care and I've been here 3 years 2 okay and one terrible. A few months back the staff started screaming at me and calling me names then it escalated into physical violence. Also I have heard with my own ears the staff sit there and speculate or talk bad about the clients. Should I report this behavior to protect myself?

Is it shirk to watch animes that contain shirk? And if it does, can we just skip those parts that contain shirk and watch it. And like the good parts?
I have been obsessed with some character in the anime 'My hero academia' but recently I have figured out that one of the character's 'hero' name has **god** In it.

I have been obsessed with some character in the anime 'My hero academia' but recently I have figured out that one of the character's 'hero' name has **god** In it. So , will the whole anime be shirk to watch for that one character? I figured that out yesterday and I was highly disgusted about the fact they named a character's 'hero name' such thing. Now I even wonder will it be Haram to watch that character or like that character? Cuz he actually has a name **katsuki Bakugo** apart from his hero name **great dynamic explosion god** or whatever. Nowzubillah.

What is the explanation of the duration of 30 months for the gestation and weaning?
Allah the almighty says: > And We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and his gestation and weaning [period] is **thirty months**. ... ([46:15][1]) and He says also: > Mothers may breastfeed their children...
Allah the almighty says:
> And We have enjoined upon man, to his parents, good treatment. His mother carried him with hardship and gave birth to him with hardship, and his gestation and weaning [period] is **thirty months**. ... (46:15 )
and He says also:
> Mothers may breastfeed their children two complete years for whoever wishes to complete the nursing [period]. .. (2:233 )
As for the second verse I'd say that it means that the maximum duration which counts as breastfeeding is two lunar years which are 24 months as explained in the Qur'an:
> Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the register of Allah [from] the day He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four are sacred. That is the correct religion, so do not wrong yourselves during them. And fight against the disbelievers collectively as they fight against you collectively. And know that Allah is with the righteous [who fear Him]. (9:36 )
which defines the length of a year.
I'd like to know how the 30 months duration from the first verse is explained or how it is defined?

Scientific conflicts with respect to Quran

There are often claims (such as those seen here ) of scientific mistakes and inaccuracies in the Qur'an. While I agree that many errors in that list are silly and might just be misinterpretations, some of them are harder to explain; especially those that are astronomical and biological in nature (many of these mistakes are shared with the Bible). Since Islam considers the Qur'an to be *ipsissima verba* of Allah, this suggests that Allah has somehow made mistakes and since Islam (as well as other Abrahamic religions) considers Him to be omnipotent, this can be seen as a serious problem.
Where do Muslims stand on this matter? For example, it is well-known in Christian history that the Church outright opposed the Heliocentric model of our solar system up until 1757, despite the scientific evidence to support it. However, even this isn't as weighty as it would be for Islam since the Bible isn't generally considered the literal word of God.
So, my question is:
If any scientific claims appear incompatible with the Qur'an, are Muslims required to reject them? Or can they accept the idea that the Qur'an itself may have its shortcomings?

Was the Injeel ever written in book form?

Is there any evidence that Isa (a.s.) wrote the Injeel in book form? Because it seems that Allah has already gave him the Injeel when he was a baby.
> [Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah . He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.
>
> Quran 19:30
Isa (a.s.) said this as a baby after his mother gave birth to him and took him to her people. So I was thinking that Allah put the revelations in his mind beforehand and the Injeel was never actually written.
This whole time the Injeel was just memorized inside Isa's mind. **If the Injeel was actually a written text, don't you think someone would have found it by now?** Instead, people keep finding very old un-canonical gospels written by Isa's disciples. No one ever finds the actual Injeel or what some people call "The Gospel of Jesus".
I could be wrong but I think the Injeel was in Isa's mind this whole time....not in actual text.
