Salaam all,

In 4:127 Allah says he has given a ruling to the prophet and in the Book as well.
What is the wisdom behind this? Why has Allah mentioned this?
One could assume that the prophet had a separate ruling because he had direct revelation from God but the revelation for al mankind is the book so we are to adhere to the book.
OR traditionalists might argue now that the prophet had rulings/laws revealed to him that were recorded separately and need to be followed.

Peace brothers and sisters

Salaam all,

Can someone please explain both Ayat and who Allah is talking about here and why some will have one death and why some will have two deaths?

They do not taste death beyound the first death and GOD spare them the retribution of hell.

"They say: Our Lord! Twice have You made us die, and twice have You made us live. Now we confess our sins. Is there any way to go out?"

Thanks and God bless

So, sadaka is not obligatory yet 9:60 mentions "obligation".
Zakat is obligatory yet is not the word mentioned in 9:60?
Why is this ?
Is zakat the obligatory subset of sadaka ?
Would appreciate any views .

Peace and thanks

Recently on an old school friends what's app group a friend made a plea for an old teacher who needed shoulder surgery. A picture sent around showed this male teacher a Christian at home with about 5 pictures of ISA on the wall behind him and two of Mary, clearly polytheists.
I was happy to donate till I saw the picture and it out me a bit off and now I am unsure what to do.
Allah looks after everyone regardless of their religion. Should we too? I am confused as to what to do.
I would appreciate any advise using the Qur'an if possible.

Allah says in the Qur'an that he can send Angels in the form of a man.
Iblees was a jinn, who when Allah asked the Angels to prostrate to Adam, iblees a jinn then refused.
Is it fair to say Angels are Allah's elite class of servants that can be of human, jinn or other forms?
I vaguely recall reading a verse which could have mentioned humans becoming angels but the Ayat was ambiguous and I didn't want to assume anything and attribute a lie to Allah via the Qur'an through false interpretation.
Any thoughts would be appreciated

I was looking at the linguistic difference between Yusallu and Yusalli. One is translated as blessings and the other as prayer. Can anyone with ancient Arabic knowledge shed some light on the word. We seen to be at the mercy of traditional translations mostly.

In 6:38 Allah The Almighty mentions a book. Which book is this and why ?

Kind regards

Salaam all,
Read an article by Brother Joseph that mentions love is for Allah alone. In 9:25 believers are asked to love Allah and the messenger more than their families, wealth etc.
In the traditional circle it is now common understanding that one cannot love Allah without loving the prophet and both have to be loved, clearly not equally but still a requirement that one love Allah and the prophet because 9:25 is a command to love ALLAH and the messenger. I have no issues with this however the question then becomes where does one draw the line and not get swept away by too much devotion to the prophet for example writing his name besides Allah in masjids and devoting much time to reading about his life more than the Qur'an or praising him more than God (Allah forgive us).

Please share your thoughts

Is the community of Jonah the only ones to believe their messenger? As per 10:98

(Sahih International)
Then has there not been a [single] city that believed so its faith benefited it except the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in worldly life and gave them enjoyment for a time.

-Surah Yunus, Ayah 98

Salaam all,
Surah 9:120/121 mention suffering for God's cause being credited with a good deed, examples given being thirst, tiredness, hunger, spending, hard travel etc.
Does this apply to all believers or just the pr.ophet's contemporaries?

"Hurumun" is unanimously translated as sacred.
If the root is "unlawful" or "abstention" why doed hurumun mean sacred?

Thanks and peace

Salaam all,

As per this verse
(Sahih International)
Indeed I want you to obtain [thereby] my sin and your sin so you will be among the companions of the Fire. And that is the recompense of wrongdoers."

-Surah Al-Ma'idah, Ayah 29

Salaam all,
I found this Ayat

(Sahih International)
What would Allah do with your punishment if you are grateful and believe? And ever is Allah Appreciative and Knowing.

-Surah An-Nisa', Ayah 147

How can one differentiate between a recompense and a punishment and hence a test.
For someone who committed major sins before a becoming a believer, how does Allah deal with them?

Kind regards
God Bless all

Does the Quran mention what scripture ishmael was given?
(Sahih International)
And mention in the Book, Ishmael. Indeed, he was true to his promise, and he was a messenger and a prophet.

-Surah Maryam, Ayah 54

Salaam all,
I would hugely appreciate if youll shared your most liked and used glorifications of our amazing creator The One who truly deserves all praise.

Thank you and peace.

Salaam all,
32:39 mentions a "day of decision" which if Allah is referring to judgement day, would suggest everyone that is dying is being raised up for their own judgement day within a period of many years of judgement. I can't seem to find anywhere a judgement day for all souls within one earthly day. Does the quran have such a concept of potentially having trillions of raised up souls being judged in one earthly day?
Also 32:14 talks about a meeting with Allah on "this day of yours". Is it fair to say we are being raised up after we die, for judgement, throught a period of many years with each soul having its own appointment with Allah the Almighty.

Kind regards and peace to all.

The traditional idea is that all messengers are prophets and that new revelation is only given to messengers.
Brother Joseph highlighted a few verses that confirm the opposite, that prophets are given new revelation and that all prophets are messengers. There are a few verses to back brother Joseph's Idea.
However in 2:285 we are told that "the messenger believed in what was revealed to him". We know Allah only reveals a book of guidance that he himself is witness to.
Also in 5:83, "and when they hear what has been revealed to the messenger".
I am a bit confused now regarding both ideas, of what is revealed and to whom.

Kind regards and thank you.
