In the name of Allah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem. All praise is due to Allah. Peace and blessings be upon Muhammad and his immaculate holy progeny. Some time ago I listened to a sermon about beard. The scholar mentioned a hadith narration about 10 crimes of people of Prophet Lut [a.s.], among them being men shaving their beards in order to look like women and attract other men. I couldn't find this narration. It might be in Shia books as well as in Sunni books. **Can anyone give reference to the source of this narration?** As-Salamu alaikum.

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?

This hadith from tirmidhi says - > Abu Sa'eed narrated: "On the Day of Badr, the Romans had a victory > over the Persians. So the believers were pleased with that, then the > following was revealed: 'Alif Lam Mim. The Romans have been defeated, > up to His saying: 'the believers will rejoice - with the help of > Allah... (30:1-5)'" He said: "So the believers were happy with the > victory of the Romans over the Persians." From the wording, it sounds like it was revealed on the day Romans were victorious.

Ma'mar B. Rashid Al-Basri Al-San'ani (95-153) AND Sufyan Al-Thawri Al-Kufi (97-161) <- Sulayman b. Al-Amash Al-Kufi (61-148) <- Al-Husayn b. Jundub "Abu Zubyan" Al-Kufi (d.90) <- Ibn Abbas: ”The first thing that Allah created was the Pen. He said, "Write." It said, "O Lord, what shall I write?" He said, "Write the divine decree." And it wrote all that shall be from that day until the onset of the Hour. Then the Book was folded up and the Pen lifted. The water vapor rose and the heavens split off from it. He then created the Nun, then the earth was spread over it. When the Nun stirred, the earth shook. He created the mountains to secure it, for indeed, they prevail over the earth.“ Then Ibn Abbas recited the verse, {Nun and the Pen and what they write} (Q68:1) through the saying of the Exalted, {You are not, by the favor of your Lord, a madman}. (Q68:2 - Tafsir Abd Al-Razzaq 3/329 I need a clarification of the authenticity of this hadith and an explanation.

Why does [Sahih al-Bukhari 304](https://sunnah.com/bukhari:304) says that women are less religious and intelligent than men? Narrated by Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: > Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) of `Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion."

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.

There is a report from Saeed bin ibn al-Musayyub in Malik's Muwatta that states the following:- > Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn > al-Musayyub said, **"Ibrahim, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, > was the first to give hospitality to the guest and the first person to > be circumcised and the first person to trim the moustache and the > first person to see grey hair.** He said, 'O Lord! What is this?' > Allah the Blessed, the Exalted, said, 'It is dignity, Ibrahim.' He > said, 'Lord, increase me in dignity!' " > > Yahya said that he had heard Malik say, "One takes from the moustache > until the edge of the lip appears, that is the rim. One does not cut > if off completely so that one mutilates oneself." - [Muwatta Malik, Book > 49, Hadith 1677](https://sunnah.com/urn/516560) **Can someone please explain me the highlighted part of this narration?**

If I offered isha prayer and then qayam (taraweeh) behind the imam, but didn't do the witr (though still sat in the masjid), because I want to offer tahajjud at home later, will I still get the reward of the qayam for the entire night? I am confused because I have heard of two hadiths. One according to which, if one offers isha and entire qayam behind imam in congregation, one gets the reward of the whole night's qayam (even if they offer fajr at home - I am a woman). And another hadith according to which, if one offers isha in congregation and fajr in congregation, one gets the reward of praying all night. **So which one is it?** It's important for me because (a) I am a woman (b) The security situation is not that great where I live (c) the masjid is far. A quick, clear answer based on authentic hadiths/ quran is highly sought and appreciated, as I have to decide whether I should go to offer fajr in congregation or not?

I have a best friend I always call online, and for some reason he just starts to call me stuff like "idiot", "stupid" etc. And it kinda does go on my nerves, because I did discuss about it to him, that it's not being funny anymore and just a thing that makes us more separate. I'm a type of guy that would never leave a friend, or even block them, and he always blocks me for a few days and just randomly unblocks me and completely ignoring the fact that he blocks me like almost every day, which does pisses me off, but I control it. Forgot to say he is muslim himself and I am too. Idk if he has anger issues and stuff like that, and i'm afraid of how this is going to end up with if he keeps doing the same thing and just slowly getting worse day by day. Sorry if I don't make sense.

Did prophet Muhammad ﷺ say something about wife beating in his last sermon and compared women to animals? I have heard about a hadith in Musnad ahmed and tarikh al tabari are these authentic

Asslam-o-Alaikum. I'm making an app which contains henna/mehndi designs for women. The images just contains the mehndi designs on arms and foot. This app is specifically and only for women.

And please tell me if someone cheats like a man confirms gender as a woman then will I be sinful for this Or a woman shows the images to a man. Please guide me. JazakAllah

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 ?

Are the following narrations from Ibn Sa'd authentic please can you clarify? > The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, said: "I like not from worldly life but perfumes and women." (Ibn Sa'd, Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Volume 1, p. 469) > > Aisha said: "The Prophet of Allah, may peace be upon him, liked three worldly objects—perfume, women and food. He obtained two and did not obtain one. He obtained women and perfumes but did not get food." (Ibn Sa'd, Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Volume 1, p. 469) > > Salamah ibn Kuhayl said: "The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, did not obtain anything from worldly objects dearer to him than women and perfumes." (Ibn Sa'd, Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Volume 1, p. 469)

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

There is a famous hadith about embroy in womb mentioning alaqa,mudgah and nutfa stage.Ref:bukhari 3208.Here in this hadith it states"إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يُجْمَعُ خَلْقُهُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا، " and translation is "Creation of each of you is put together in the womb for 40 days".I know some scholars say that alaqa,Mudgah and nutfa all happen in the 40 days it is not 120 days. Interpretation of 40 days is acurate according to modern science.But my question is how can we explain the Gathering of Creation in Womb for 40 days?what is actually gathered in the womb if we interpret the hadith in a way that all stages take place in the same 40 days not individually 40 days?

I exposed my sins and sometimes foolishly I expose others too if I sincerely repent to Allah. Can i still have my sins concealed on the Day of Judgement.
