For context, I was talking about my major depressive disorder with a friend. He mentioned a *ḥadīth*, but said he didn't know the source at the top of his mind, about idle minds being easier to control/attack. I have attached a screenshot of some messages we had exchanged after that conversation in case it helps. Some links that may be useful, but it doesn't seem like these are the exact *ḥadīth* he was referencing: > Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Satan is lying in wait over the heart of the son of Adam. If he remembers Allah, Satan retreats. If he forgets Allah, Satan will devour his heart; that is the ‘whisperer who retreats.’” (114:4) https://www.abuaminaelias.com/dailyhadithonline/2013/03/20/shaytan-al-waswas-al-khannas/ > Sa’id ibn Jubayr reported: Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “Satan is perched over the heart of the son of Adam. If he is unmindful and he forgets, Satan whispers. If he remembers Allah, Satan withdraws.” https://www.abuaminaelias.com/dailyhadithonline/2020/06/02/ibn-abbas-on-khannas/

> And if a man's discharge proceeded that of the woman, then the child > resembles the father, and if the woman's discharge proceeded that of > the man, then the child resembles the mother." Okay, isn't the above hadith totally unscientific? Because we know that resemblance is actually implemented by DNAs and genes, not due to the fact who has orgasm first.

I know a female doctor, a muslim doctor,she so kind and good doctor. If I got any sexual and my male organs matter. Some time I consult her. She is so preffesional and I didn't consult any other doctor for this matter. She only know my confidential matters in private area. She is aged. Above 55. Am 32. Any serious haram in this case?

What they think of me and if they see my organs etc..Discomfort with their treatment and exam. but this female doctor already know about my medical background . Is it allowed?

According to Surah Az-Zalzalah (99:4–5), the earth will report its news on the Day of Judgment. Some scholars say this includes testifying about where people prayed. Why is the location of prayer important, and what is the wisdom behind the earth testifying about it? I have heard that once you pray sunnah, you need to change your location. I want to know why and what is the point of where you pray. Your limbs can testify that you pray, so why earth?

Assalamualikum, Iam a 18 year old Muslim girl student seeking for help in this platform I found out on the internet. It would be helpful if you give me proper advice for my situation. My name is Sophia Usrat. I found out on the Google that Usrat means poverty, hardship. But in chatgpt it shows it means Family. Iam confused does my name carry any bad meaning.I asked my parents about that they told me they got the name from an islamic name book and it means something good. They told me not to worry about it. But as a Muslim girl who is concerned about consequences of Islam that every name should me meaningful. I feel exhausted about this. I hope that you would be able to give me proper advice for this situation. And if the name has bad meaning should we change it ?

I want to know if there is a Hadith that exists, as per what the title says.

Yesterday I had gone to sleep late due to my studies at like 1 am to 2 am ish. So before going to sleep I prayed Tahajjud and Witr prayer so that when I wake up I wouldn’t have to rush my suhoor and eat it peacefully. But after telling my mother this, she told me that tahajjud is to be strictly prayed after waking up. Is it true? If it is then can you show me the proofs? جزاكم الله خيرا كثيرا in advance.

Which animals was not allowed on prophet nuh ark

I’m going to answer my own question because there aren’t any posts, in fairness, that talk about this topic in the English language. This is something I wish my younger self could have read. ***But the question pertains to the definition of the word “kuba” or ”kubah” (كوبة) and does it relate to the topic of music in the religion of sunni Islam?*** > Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As: > > عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو،أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَهَى عَنِ الْخَمْرِ وَالْمَيْسِرِ وَالْكُوبَةِ وَالْغُبَيْرَاءِ وَقَال"‏ كُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ ابْنُ سَلاَمٍ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ الْغُبَيْرَاءُ السُّكُرْكَةُ تُعْمَلُ مِنَ الذُّرَةِ شَرَابٌ يَعْمَلُهُ الْحَبَشَةُ ‏. > >The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade wine (khamr), game of chance (maysir), drum (kubah), and wine made from millet (ghubayrah), saying: Every intoxicant is forbidden. Abu Dawud said: Ibn Sallam Abu 'Ubaid said: Ghubairah was an intoxicant liquor made from millet. This wine was made by the Abyssinians Abu Dawood 3685: Book 26, Hadith 3677 as well as > Narrated Ibn Abbas: > >عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ وَفْدَ عَبْدِ الْقَيْسِ، قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِيمَ نَشْرَبُ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ تَشْرَبُوا فِي الدُّبَّاءِ وَلاَ فِي الْمُزَفَّتِ وَلاَ فِي النَّقِيرِ وَانْتَبِذُوا فِي الأَسْقِيَةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنِ اشْتَدَّ فِي الأَسْقِيَةِ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَصُبُّوا عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ ‏"‏ أَهْرِيقُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَىَّ أَوْ حُرِّمَ الْخَمْرُ وَالْمَيْسِرُ وَالْكُوبَةُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَكُلُّ مُسْكِرٍ حَرَامٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَسَأَلْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ بَذِيمَةَ عَنِ الْكُوبَةِ قَالَ الطَّبْلُ ‏.‏ > >The deputation of ‘Abd al-Qais asked (the prophet):From which(vessels)should we drink ? He (the prophet) replied: Do not drink from the pumpkins, vessels smeared with pitch, and hollow stumps , and steep dates in skins. They asked: Messenger of Allah, if it ferments? He replied: infuse water in it. They asked: Messenger of Allah...” (repeating the same words). He replied to them third or fourth time: Pour it away. He then said: Allah has forbidden me, or he said: He has forbidden me wine, game of chance and kubah(drums). He said: Every intoxicant is unlawful. Sufyan said: I asked ‘All b. Badhimah about kubah . He replied: Drum. Abu Dawood 3696: Book 26, Hadith 3687 *side note, (الدُّبَّاءِ) *dubba'e* is not a pumpkin per-se but more precisely calabash or long melon because pumpkins were not discovered until Columbus in the 15th century. A bit of an anachronism since the hadith takes place 1,400 years ago.

I read surah Al_Kahf verse 61 > But when they reached the junction of two seas they forgot their fish. and it took its way through the sea as in a tunnel. when I reached this above verse I analyze it as a portal where the fish alive and made a tunnel in sea for Prophet Musa. Like other miracle is it also a miracle if yes then can anyone replied me through the reference? and in which tafseer it has been discussed scientifically. I read it in tafseer ibn kathir.

It was mentioned in a previous post clarifying a report by anas ibn malik ra in sunan al kubra al beyhaqi 2/320 that the slave girls of umar ra were serving with their hair uncovered and hitting their breasts and the confusion arose from the word تَضْرِبُ which was used to denote "strikes or hits" however this narration was reworded to تَضْطَرِبُ which denotes "shakes" changing the meaning to "serving with their hair uncovered and breasts shaking" in Book of Knowledge of Sunnah and Athar 3/146 (4071) authored by beyhaqi as well. What accounts for the difference in wording and which is the correct narration? initial post in question: https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/79569/umar-and-sex-slaves-hadiths Narrations: https://shamela.ws/book/2863/1247 and https://shamela.ws/book/7861/3655

In the story of creation of Adam when Allah planned to create Adam, angles asked Allah are you creating a creation which will spread mischief in the world. I know their question was for the knowledge gain. But I'm questioning here the angles are made from light. They work that Allah commands them, was that incident was the command of Allah . Have they a brain to think?

Building off of the answers to this question , what are the requirements for a hadith to be considered "sahih"?

Certain websites claim that in a Hadith it is mentioned the following: > Prophet Muhammad declared, "There was a prophet of God in India who is dark in color and his name was Kahan." (History of Hamadan Dailmi Chapter Al-Kaaf) Looking at the above verse, it is highly likely that this is referring to Lord Krishna who is need called ''Kahan'' and is dark-complexioned. The Quran does mention that there have been 1,24,000 prophets send by Allah but there are also high chances of this Hadith being interpolated just like many Puranas are in Hinduism (especially the Bhavishya Purana which seems to mention Prophet Muhammad and many Biblical characters). So is the above Hadith a ''sahih'' Hadith or is it also interpolated like the Bhavishya Purana in Hinduism?

The hadith (Sahih al-Bukhari ): > The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When the people of Paradise will enter Paradise and the people of Hell will go to Hell, Allah will order those who have had faith equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed to be taken out from Hell. So they will be taken out but (by then) they will be blackened (charred). Then they will be put in the river of Haya' (rain) or Hayat (life) (the Narrator is in doubt as to which is the right term), and they will revive like a grain that grows near the bank of a flood channel. Don't you see that it comes out yellow and twisted" I kinda dont understand it what is Allah describing?

Assalamu walaikum,I've been searching for a answer for my question,Due to laziness i failed to pray 3 prayers (yesterday 2, today's 1) ,so i want to pray the Isha prayer,but the thing is, I'm confused,cause,I also had many qada prayer from before(I made a list of which day and which prayer I didn't prayed),so if i pray isha, should i pray the missed 3 prayers first ,or can i add this 3 prayers to my qada prayers list and then pray at a comfortable schedule

I'm just wondering because I read someone saying there is a Hadith saying that the Prophet (p.b.u.h) did not accept the cross.

Recently I have been wondering regarding something that I've been hearing since childhood. when we stand in the congregation for the obligatory prayer making the lines, the imam says in arabic a few phrases. i can make out that what he says is to make the lines in accordance with the sunnah (*our mother tongue is not arabic*) my question is that is it a must to say that in arabic everytime before we start the prayer?, or is it sunnah?, or are they doing it just to remind us to make the lines straight as its kind of like the responsibility of the imam.

We know that bilqis accepted Islam after she met prophet suleiman. Do we have information on bilqis continuing as queen after acceptance of Islam? > No people who appoint a woman as their leader will ever prosper.” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, 13/53)

Assalamu Aleikum, I'd like to ask what our prophet meant when he said, **"There are 500 years of distance between each heaven."** I mean, is this '500 years' by walking/marching? I have read some of your fatwas and some tasfers, and it said that 500 years by marching, but I'd like to learn if this is the words of our Prophet or just an interpretation. Can this '500 years' be by riding, at the speed of light, or other kinds of travel? We know for a fact that our universe is so huge, and 500 years of walking is nothing compared to it. Are there other ways to interpret this hadith? Thank you. Following are some of the traditions taken from as-Suyutis al-Haya as-saniya fi l-haya as-sunniya that mention this > Ibn Rāhūya, in his Musnad, Abū š-Šayh and al-Bazzar, on the basis of a > sound chain of transmission that goes back to Abū Darr, report that > God's messenger (God's blessing and peace be with him!) presented the > following teaching: "The interval between heaven and earth is the > distance of 500 years. The diameter of every heaven is also as much as > 500 years. And the interval between this heaven and the one that comes > after it is also as big as 500 years. Thus up to the seventh heaven, > and with the earths it is similar. And the distance between the > seventh heaven and the throne corresponds to all that." > Ahmad b. Hanbal (may God be pleased with him!), in his Musnad, Abū > Dā'ūd, at-Tirmidī, who declares it to be of good quality, Ibn Māğa, > Ibn Abi Aşamm, in his Sunna, Abū Yaʻlā, Ibn Huzayma, at-Tabarānī, al- > Hakim, and giving it a sound derivation Abū š-Šayh have the following > tradition from al-'Abbas b. "Abd al-Muttalib: "We were with the > Prophet (God's blessing and peace be with him!) when he said: 'Do you > know what the distance is between heaven and earth?' - We answered: > 'God and His messenger know better!' - He said: 'Between them there is > a distance of 500 years; and from every heaven to another heaven there > is a distance of 500 years.
