Apparently sheikh ibn utheymeen says its permissible to force ourselves on our wives and one brother even said I can grab her and do whatever against her will. Recently I see from another brother mentioning imam Shafi'i saying that forcing a women into things even if it doesn't harm her isn't allowed (which could be misread) in his book kitab Al-umm volume 6 I got shown a video that has no translation for non arabs who speak English and I also heard there is a difference of opinion if so which one is more authentic? (do not respond with emotion, respond with facts and evidence pls) Note: I would like to know all 4 madhab stances on my exact question as well

De vraag blijft hier opkomen: Wat is het nieuwe, heilzame dat de Arabische Koran en de islam de mensheid hebben gebracht in vergelijking met het Hebreeuwse Oude Testament en het Griekse Nieuwe Testament? ~~~~ Frågan kvarstår: Vad är det nya, nyttiga som den arabiska Koranen och islam har fört med sig till mänskligheten jämfört med det hebreiska Gamla testamentet och det grekiska Nya testamentet? ~~~~ لا يزال السؤال مطروحاً هنا: ما هو الشيء الجديد المفيد الذي قدمه القرآن العربي والإسلام للبشرية مقارنة بالعهد القديم العبري والعهد الجديد اليوناني؟ ~~~~ The question is still rising here: What is the new beneficial thing that the Arabic quran and its islam gave to the humanity comparing with the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament ? ___________________________________________________________

In Islam, children are considered sinless and under Allah’s mercy until they reach the age of puberty [1] ,[2] . However, some children suffer from painful and fatal diseases such as Tay-Sachs Disease , Canavan Disease , or Spinal Muscular Atrophy (Type 1) , and pass away without ever reaching the age of accountability. These conditions cause immense physical suffering, even though these children cannot be tested morally or spiritually, as they are sinless. The Quran states, “Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity” (Quran 2:286) . For the children described above, if this burden is not a test for them, **to which part of their existence does this burden apply**, given that their physical suffering clearly exceeds their capacity?

السلام علیکم I wanted to ask that does a women get punished if she doesn't want to get married because she is terrified of her "naseeb" or what her life will be like? I have met many married women (my mother, married sisters,cousins,friends, and aunts e.t.c) and almost all of their lives get ruined after marriage. Whether it is the physical, emotional, financial or sexual abuse or even attempted murder they face by their in-laws or husband's or how they become physically ill due to having children. Many women that I know have arthritis or chronic illness due to having children, and they still have to do all the housework and raise their children while being in constant pain. Many have said to me themselves that they regret marrying and are staying just for the kids. But those kids are then facing abuse by the hands of the parents (me and my sisters included). Due to this I have developed an immense fear of marriage and having children I know that getting married is a sunnah and that children are a blessing but I honestly do not want to get married because just the thought of facing any of these martial problems terrifies me. Many of my sisters and cousins that are staying in their marriages for their children are so frustrated and angry all the time that the children are being negatively impacted. As someone that had to face this kind of abuse from her parents I do not want to harm my future children like this, that is why I do not want to get married and have children. But my mother keeps telling me that as parents it is their farz to get their children married before dying and by refusing I am making it difficult for them to get in jannah, I know that it is important that we have faith in Allah but when it comes to marriage I just don't want to risk it? Does that make it difficult for me or my parents to get good deeds or get in jannah? Will I be making Allah angry by refusing to follow the sunnah?

Last night I repented sincerely to allah, with a grief saken heart,crying , and recited many suras and many duas also prayed to him to show me a divine dream . That same night before fajr ,I saw myself reading Qur'an but I was not on earth , a lady was teaching me this, I learnt in the dream only that she is mother maryam and while reading there I read the word "Isa" and isa ibn maryam (AS)came to me !!! And we descended onto a ground I know and where I use to play , there were three men there , as I can recall one was a jew , one christian and other one's religion i don't know . Then I invited them to islam with hand pointing to the sky (☝️) and arm streched showing god is one he is allah , and said -"oh people will you still deny the truth?" . Prophet isa stood to the right of me , he looked similar to I've seen on internet but I can't recall his face, but his long hair and body, even dress I can recall , he was wearing robes . And then after that very , very peaceful dream, I woke up and shortly after the fajr Azan began! It was such a peaceful dream and I can tenderly recall hearing names of Mother Aisha and prophet Muhammad in that exact same dream!

I have read multiple interpretations regarding this verse. I found that scholars have mentioned different sayings about the latter portion of the ayah "أنا له لحفظون" about who does the pronoun له refer to in the verse. Some say this refers to Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. I just wanted to know that is there any principle due to which the widely one is accepted is it refers to الذكر itself and if it's agreed upon. Please guide me I'm trying to clear my doubt regarding this for a quite long. Since there's an akhbari scholars saying that there is differences in interpretation of this ayah and therefore cannot be used as evidence for divine preservation. He also quotes Sunni tafsirs to support his claim. His arguments are causing doubts in my mind.

Here is the link to the various qiraats of the Quran Let me post the screenshots of sura 37:12 from 2 different qiraats and also their translation: **Hafs qiraat:** **Translation of the hafs:*** But **YOU** wonder, while they mock* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Khalaf from Hamza:** **Translation:*** But **I** wonder, while they mock* You can also refer to the video

I am student the recently question comes into my mind that is > does Islam depends on math or math depends on Islam because according to my best observation i found that everything in our world depends on math for example: There are several places in Quran where math are used to describe the logic, you can't do anything in world without math even in daily routine eat,walk and other stuff all includes math.

Does the following verse has anything to do with lucid dreams? >“It is Allah Who takes away the souls at the time of their death, and those that die not during their sleep. He keeps those (souls) for which He has ordained death and sends the rest for a term appointed. Verily, in this are signs for a people who think deeply.” > >[az-Zumar 39:42](https://legacy.quran.com/39/42) I'm so confused as to what the above verses mean. Does it mean that we don't have a will to induce lucid dreams? Are lucid dreams even real or not? Because Allah only Has the power to give us our souls back so we can wake up from sleep. I want some answers please!

I came accross Sana'a publication by Sadeghi (Sana'a and The Origins of Qur'an), but he only conclude ***some example*** of textual variation with standard qur'an. > Table 1 gives a **few examples**, in English translation, in which C-1 > differs from the standard text.38 The C-1 type shares a number of > variants He also, pointed many reading variants from Ibn Mas'ud and Ubay ibn Ka'ab. Which is not what I, or every layman, can understand. *(Is it affect the meaning?)* Have also searched this forum and found this interesting insight, https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/40078/is-it-likely-that-the-sanaa-manuscript-was-an-accepted-reading-of-the-quran Adding up some more point in textual variant. But still, it's not complete list. I was wondering if any publication has been made, which include list of **all** difference found between Sana'a and the current Qur'an; in terms of overall meaning in english translation? Because I didn't find one.

Translation of Quran 5:45 by "Sahih International" trio (Emily Assami, Amatullah Bantley, Mary Kennedy): > And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, > a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for > wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives [up his right as] > charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by > what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the wrongdoers. "for them" - this is about Jews. As i know, this rule also applies to Muslims. (for example, in https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/45944 you can see that). But how do I know that this indeed applies also to Muslims? maybe there are hadith which clearly say that?

The Quran says > O YOU who have attained to faith! Just retribution is ordained for you > in cases of killing: the free for the free, and the slave for the > slave, and the woman for the woman (Baqarah 178) Does it mean that if a slave is killed, another slave (irrespective of the murderer) is to be killed, and if a woman is killed, then another woman has to be killed in compensation. This is not applied in any Islamic country, so I am sure that I am misreading it. Kindly explain.

Non Muslims say that 18:86 is in error. How do we refute this? > Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it [as if] setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found near it a people. Allah said, "O Dhul-Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness." -- Qur'an 18:86

There's a range of translations of Quran 54:17 ; here are some examples: > And in truth We have made the Qur'an easy to remember; but is there any that remembereth? -- M. M. Pickthall > We have made it easy to learn lessons from the Quran. Is there anyone who would receive admonition? -- Wahiduddin Khan > And indeed, We have made the Qur'an easy for direction and guidance, but is there anyone who will take advice? -- Dr. Mohammad Tahir-ul-Qadri > We have really made this Qur'an easy (to understand)! Is anyone there to heed? -- Dr. Munir Munshey It seems there's two major interpretations of this ayat: - The Qur'an is easy to understand. This could be in order to help everyone, despite their level of education. I've also seen it argued that the repetitive nature of the Qur'an is evidence to support this interpretation. > The Qur'an's guidance for man’s conduct are plain and easy to understand and act upon... > ...Masha Allah, how easy Allah has made it for us to memorise the Qur’an and increase our rewards. -- Productive Muslim - Admonishion in the Qur'an is easy to understand. "Do good and get closer to paradise. Do bad and get closer to punishment". > Some people have misconstrued the words yassarnal- Quran to mean that the Quran is an easy Book; no knowledge is required to understand it so much so that a person even without the knowledge of the Arabic language, can write a commentary on it, and can deduce any injunctions he likes from its verses independent of the Hadith and Islamic Law, whereas the context in which these words occur, indicates that they are meant to make the people realize this: One means of the admonition are the dreadful torments that descended upon the rebellious nations, and the other means is this Quran, which guides you to the right path by argument and instruction. -- Islamic Studies It's unclear which is correct. (And I cannot exclude the possibility that both of these interpretations are simultaneously correct.) **Question**: Should Qur'an 54:17 be interpreted as meaning the Qur'an is intended to be simple to understand? Answering this is probably going to require familiarity with the Arabic: > وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ

My father provides us everything he can but he is verbally abusive. To a point where I have zero respect for him and zero interest in interacting with him. What does Islam say about abusive parents?

assalamualaikum My mom and dad got me into this Quran reciting school that we have to memorize the verses. I sometimes not ready to recite them to the sheikh so i cheat and read from the Quran i always repent and the next day i do it again. I’m just scared that my repentance isn’t going to be accepted. I just don’t know how to stop it. Please help me with this problem.

May I know how many surahs in the Qur'an that begins by "wa"? Ex. Wal asr, wa shams... Etc.

Not to cause argument, i only want to clear any misunderstandings that i may have. According to Sunnis, Fadak was inheritance, in contrast to endowment. But Al Suyuti seems to take the latter view in his tafsir. Al Suyuti comments on surah 17 verse 26: “Abu Saeed al Khudri and Abdullah Ibn Abbas narrate that when the verse relating to giving rights to kindred was revealed, the Prophet called Fatima Zahra (as) and gifted the land of Fadak to her”. - [Tafseer Dur al-Manthur, Vol. 4, page 177](https://shiapen.com/wp-content/uploads/BlogMedia/tafseer_dur_almanthur_v4_p177-1642247339.jpg)

Is it permissible for a man to marry the mother of a girl he used to have a relationship with? The relationship was in the past and involved physical touching but no penetration. I understand from [4:23](http://quran.com/4/23) that marriage to the wife's mother is permanently prohibited from the time a man enters into a marriage contract with a woman, whether he and his wife have engaged in sexual intercourse or not. The act of marriage itself gives the mother-in-law the same status as the mother. However in this case, the man never married the girl. Is her mother haram for him to marry?

The topic of death penalty for apostasy (defection form one's religion) in Islam seems to be a controversial one since many people have both positive and negative answers regarding the issue. Now, since Quran is the only source of guidance for all Muslims regardless of opinions or sects etc I wanted to know how the Quran tackles this issue if it tackles it at all. I know about the Sahih Hadith in which the Prophet of Islam clearly prescribes death for apostasy but it seems Muslims have mixed responses to it, one of them being it a "dhaeef" or weak Hadith. > **Bukhari[52:260]** "...The Prophet said, 'If somebody **(a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.**' " The only verse from the Quran I've been able to find (allegedly) regarding apostasy is the following: > **Quran[4:89]** "They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, > and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends > of them, until they emigrate in the way of God; then, **if they turn > their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them**; take not > to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper." I haven't studied the Tafseer of this verse so please forgive my nuisance. So does anyone know whether the Quran really does prescribe the death penalty like the above mentioned Hadith? If there is then the other part of my question is the following: If I was brought up as Muslim, meaning that since my childhood being a Muslim wasn't really my choice and it can be argued that it was my parents who "forced" me to be Muslim, wouldn't it be wrong to forbid me from exercising my freedom of consciousness and freedom of thoughts? The classic argument from Muslims supporting the penalty is of "treason". It is true that being a traitor to my country can bear severe consequences, possibly death or life sentence. But this is a weak argument and it can be argued that religion and country are two different things. I can never change the fact that I was born in a certain country but I **can** change my beliefs which I **wasn't born with** at all. Quran says that there is no compulsion regarding the practice of religion. > **Quran[2:256]** "There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the > religion." So bottomline, what does the Quran really have to say about this issue? References of Ahadith are not welcome because no matter how authentic, they are still hearsay sayings of the prophet and prone to exaggerations or manipulations. Quran is the only source of authentic Islamic teachings. Thank you.. **Edit:** Another argument from Muslims is that everyone in the world is born a Muslim but their parents mislead them towards other religions. Thus death penalty for apostasy is justified. This argument is a foolish one, has absolutely no logical or natural basis and impossible to be true.
