Which animals was not allowed on prophet nuh ark

First of all, I would like to thank in advance for answering in the most kindest way. And i apologize for making my questions so big. Just wanted to let you know where i'm coming from. I have heard that previously during Imam Malik's time, some slave women were walking around or getting out of their homes bare breasted. He had strongly condemned this practice due to his understanding of the Quran/Sunnah as per this narration: > Kitaab Al-Jami‘ of Al-Imam Ibn Abi Zayd Al-Qayrawani Al-Maliki (died > 386 AH): He said, "He (i.e. Al-Imam Malik ibn Anas) strongly > disapproved of the behaviour of the slave women of Madinah in going > out uncovered above the lower garment." He said, "I have spoken to the > Sultan about it, but I have not received a reply." He said, "Beat the > slave women if they do that." I am aware that slave women had a relaxed awrah compared to the free women as per the differing opinions of the various schools of thought due to their work in servile environments and veiling was prohibited as a social status indicator but in case of **fitnah** or **harassment** or **fear of trouble** they are supposed to cover themselves up as free women have to do. I am also aware that in some point in history, there were practices of slave women being **paraded bare breasted** for attracting the highest bidders or buyers. Also I understand that a seller can adorn their slave women for attracting buyers similar to how a woman is adorned for marriage. I understand that Islam humanizes slaves by granting them certain rights, emphasizing their emancipation, and encouraging them to be treated like family members—with dignity, kindness, and respect. Based on my understanding of the commentaries from various schools of thought, even during the inspection process in slave markets at the time of the Prophet and his companions, the environment was supposedly controlled, with minimal exposure encouraged unless absolutely necessary, and only with the genuine intention to buy could you look or touch upto some extent (over clothing in Umar R.A's case), touching prohibited in the presence of lust. (please correct me if i'm wrong). **My Question is as follows:** - Was bare chested display for ***auctions*** or ***convenience*** or ***parading*** them bare chested for attracting the highest bidders, is that islamic or buyers islamically sanctioned (haram or halal)? Or was it just a corrupt practice that the masters used to do to exploit their slave women for commercial purposes or personal benefits? If it is halal, why? It spreads fitnah, encourages lustful intentions,objectifies and exploits slave women, public indecency, strips off their dignity, violates modesty rules etc which is quite contrary to inspection which usually happens for practical reasons out of necessity as opposed to lustful intentions. Also please answer this as well if possible Question regarding Slave Women Inspection Limits in the marketplace Thanks!

Was Ubayy Ibn Ka'b a part of the Uthmanic committee along with Zayd Ibn Thabit, if so, then what narrations can we refer to?

Three Qur'anic passages address the creation of the heavens and the earth: Al-Baqarah 2:29, Fussilat 41:9–12, and An-Nāziʿāt 79:27–33. On the surface they appear to conflict with one another regarding sequence: Fussilat 41:9–12 describes the earth being created first, then its habitability, and then God turning toward the heaven. Al-Baqarah 2:29 similarly says God created what is in the earth and then turned to proportion the heavens as seven. But An-Nāziʿāt 79:27–33 seems to say the heaven was built before the earth was spread out. Critics and skeptics have pointed to this as an internal contradiction in the Qur'an regarding the order of creation. Is there a genuine contradiction here, or is there a coherent way to reconcile these three passages — one grounded in the Arabic grammar of the Qur'an itself and supported by classical tafsīr?

This may be a stupid question but I’m new on my journey and was just wondering how each page of the Kitab fits its ayats so cleanly that no ayat continues onto the next page? Each page ends and starts with a new ayat. How was this organized?

Asalamulaykum Warahmatulahi Wabarakatuh! In Surah Al-Mu'minun (https://quran.com/al-muminun) , the first 11 ayats or so speak about the characteristics of the believers and how they are to inherit the Firdaws. My question here is, what about the believers who have repented from doing evils mentioned here? what about kafirs who converted to Islam? Are they still eligible for such a reward? Jazakalakhair!

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.

What does Allah mean when He says: > Have they not considered how Allāh begins creation and then repeats it? Indeed that, for Allāh, is easy. (29:19) I understand that He originated creation. But what is meant by, > "and then repeats it"? How have scholars interpreted this?

It says the earth was created in two days. And later on in the next verse it says four days? Keep in mind the total duration of heavens and earth creation is six days. So did the earth take up 2 days out of 6 or 4 days? Specifically what is the meaning of the verse below about the four days. **Verses:** > ۞ قُلْ أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَكْفُرُونَ بِٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَرْضَ فِى يَوْمَيْنِ وَتَجْعَلُونَ لَهُۥٓ أَندَادًۭا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ > > “Say (O Muhammad): Do you verily disbelieve in Him Who created the earth in **two Days**? And you set up rivals (in worship) with Him? That is the Lord of the ‘Aalameen (mankind, jinn and all that exists). > > وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ مِن فَوْقِهَا وَبَـٰرَكَ فِيهَا وَقَدَّرَ فِيهَآ أَقْوَٰتَهَا فِىٓ أَرْبَعَةِ أَيَّامٍۢ سَوَآءًۭ لِّلسَّآئِلِينَ > > He placed therein (i.e. the earth) firm mountains from above it, and He blessed it, and measured therein its sustenance (for its dwellers) in **four Days** equal (i.e. all these four ‘days’ were equal in the length of time) for all those who ask (about its creation). > > ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَهِىَ دُخَانٌۭ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلْأَرْضِ ٱئْتِيَا طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًۭا قَالَتَآ أَتَيْنَا طَآئِعِينَ > > Then He rose over (Istawa) towards the heaven when it was smoke, and said to it and to the earth: ‘Come both of you willingly or unwillingly.’ They both said: ‘We come willingly.’ > > فَقَضَىٰهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَـٰوَاتٍۢ فِى يَوْمَيْنِ وَأَوْحَىٰ فِى كُلِّ سَمَآءٍ أَمْرَهَا ۚ وَزَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِمَصَـٰبِيحَ وَحِفْظًۭا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْعَلِيمِ > > Then He completed and finished from their creation (as) seven heavens in **two Days** and He made in each heaven its affair. And We adorned the nearest (lowest) heaven with lamps (stars) to be an adornment as well as to guard (from the devils by using them as missiles against the devils). Such is the Decree of Him, the All-Mighty, the All-Knower” > > - [Fussilat 41:9-12](https://quran.com/41/9-12)

There are TV shows or entertainment shows like wwe where some ppl have mocked Allah in the past by attributing themsleves to Allah or mocking Allah straight up and shows like his have a large Muslim audience. Does one become a kafir if they keep watching it despite hating the actions and words of kufr that have or taking place? And does the same ruling apply to soap operas that have mocked Islam unintentionally or deliberately

In Quran, Why Allah has repeated again and again for pondering over Quran.

When someone memorizes the whole Quran they will go to heaven. But I read somewhere that only those who memorize the whole Quran and act upon it will go to heaven. What does act upon it mean? For example does it mean that I should do what the Quran tells me to do (don't gamble or drink alcohol...etc). And does it mean that if I memorize the whole Quran I should share it to the world, for example lead people in prayer? But what if i'm a woman? What can a woman who memorized the Quran do to act upon it?

As salamualaikum After researching duas for better eyesight I’ve come across a few pages and videos claiming to recite Verse 22 of Surah Qaf then blowing it on your finger an rubing it on your eyes. Somehow that doesn’t really sound authentic/ part of the sunnah to me, which is why it would be helpful if someone of knowledge would help me clarify this matter.

According to many Islamic sources, Quran 51:47 refers to the expansion of the universe, a phenomenon that has been made known to us in the recent century. > And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander. (51:47) Most of the debate pertaining to this verse is centered on the word 'musioona', and whether it implies an expansion of space in the past, or a continuous & ongoing expansion. **However, how do we know in the first place that the word 'samaa' used in this verse is referring to the greater universe (i.e heaven)?** In the Quran, Allah frequently reminds us of rain coming from the sky, as provision for his creation: > Do you not see that Allah sends down rain from the sky and makes it flow as springs [and rivers] in the earth; .... (39:21) In verses such as these, the term 'samaa' cannot be used to denote the wider universe, but rather the closer regions of Earth's atmosphere to us. Just to clarify, I understand that Arabic words can mean multiple things - 'samaa' can be either "sky" or "heaven"- **but is it possible to know for certain which of these meanings is meant in 51:47 (i.e without using a potential scientific interpretation)?**

I've noticed I've been saying "DAAleen" instead of "Daalleen" even though I know there was a shaddah but I don't end up pronouncing it well enough. Can anyone who speaks arabic confirm if it changes the meaning or not? I tried to see with google translate, removing the shaddah doesn't change it although putting spaces between Daa and leen does (though I'm not sure I pause enough for it to sound like two different words).

Salam, does the Qur'an describe the sky as a solid object? In Quran 22:65 Allah says that he withholds the sky from falling. How is this possible when the sky is not a solid roof? Jkzh in advance, pls give sincere answers

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers in Islam, Can you please help me understand as to why in Surah Baqarah the verse 149 is repeated again in 150? > So from wherever you go out [for prayer, O Muhammad] turn your face toward al- Masjid al-Haram, and indeed, it is the truth from your Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what you do. **[Surah Baqarah : 149]** and > And from wherever you go out [for prayer], turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] may be, turn your faces toward it in order that the people will not have any argument against you, except for those of them who commit wrong; so fear them not but fear Me. And [it is] so I may complete My favor upon you and that you may be guided. > **[Surah Baqarah : 150]**

What is meant by the sky being built or a building? For example in these next two verses Quran 2:22 and Quran 40:64 the word بِنَآءًۭ is used which i think means building. Quran 40:64 > "It is Allāh who made for you the earth a place of settlement and the sky a structure [i.e., ceiling] and formed you and perfected your forms and provided you with good things. That is Allāh, your Lord; then blessed is Allāh, Lord of the worlds." and Quran 2:22 > "[He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allāh equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]." and in Quran 50:6 the word used is بَنَيْنَـٰهَا which means built i think > "Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?"

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?
