In the virtues of Sayyiduna Umar Bin Khattab (RA) by Ibn Abi al-Dunya and the one by Al Suyuti, it is mentioned that the earth quaked during the time of Umar. He struck it with his hand and said: "What is wrong with you? What is wrong with you? If it were the Day of Judgment, it would have revealed its news." I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "On the Day of Judgment, there will not be a span or a cubit that does not speak." Imam Ahmad mentioned from Safiyyah the same narration and with a very strong chain of transmission. And since he struck the ground with his hand and commanded the earthquake to cease, not a single earthquake has occurred in the blessed city of Medina or in Mecca. And not a single scientific report ever recorded an earthquake there after that, and not even a narration is recorded of a single earthquake that came after that event and they stopped after that.
The legend of Mount Qaf (قاف) From the sources:
Abu Salih narrated from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them. And Ikrimah also narrated from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, saying God created a mountain called Qaf that surrounds the lower world, and its roots are connected to the rock on which the earth stands, and it is the rock mentioned by Luqman, peace be upon him, when he said: "O my son, if it is the weight of a mustard seed and it is in a rock or in the heavens or in the earth" [the verse]. So when God Almighty wants to shake a village on earth, He orders that mountain to move the root that is next to that village, and it shakes at that moment. Mujahid said: It is a mountain that surrounds the earth and the seas. It is narrated from Al-Dahhak that it is an emerald that is green. (From the works of Ibn Abi Hatim, Imam Ismael, Ibn Kathir tafsir, Ibn Hajar Al Haythami' fatwas 248 and the famous Ibn Abi Ad Dunya narrated it aswell in kitab Al qubat pg, 32). And a group of scholars believe that the wo...

There are 5 Fard(required)prayers sinful to miss. Fajr - 2 rakats(units) Dhuhr - 4 rakats Asr - 4 rakats Maghrib- 3 rakats Isha- 4 rakats 1.Starting Salah (Intention and Takbir) Begin by forming an intention in your heart to pray a specific prayer (e.g., Dhuhr, Asr). While the intention is usually kept in the heart, some may choose to say it verbally. Start with Takbir ("Allahu Akbar"), raising hands to either the shoulders or the ears. 2. Placing the Hands After Takbir, you can place your hands either: Below the navel , above the navel but below the chest.Or, leave them at your sides. 3. Reciting Surah Al-Fatihah Recite Surah Al-Fatihah yourself for silent prayers and audibly for prayers like Fajr, Maghrib, and Isha. This is Sunnah but not required but highly recommended. Reciting Surah Al-Fatihah, you may either: Recite " Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim " quietly or aloud or skip the Basmala altogether in silent prayers. After finishing Al-Fatihah, recite an...
Abu Jahl the loser
Once the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) prostrated, Abu Jahl (LA) picked up a stone and approached him. But when he got close, he turned back, terrified and pale, his hands dried on the stone until he dropped it. The men of Quraysh came to him and said: "What's wrong with you, O Abu al-Hakam?" He said: I went up to him to do what I told you yesterday, but as I approached him, a male camel appeared in front of me. By God, I have never seen a head like his, nor a neck or tusks like his for any male camel. He was about to devour me. Abu Jahl's heroism was imaginary, and his boasting of threats was sophistical. It wasn't just once that he retreated, but many times, as narrated by the author of "Al-Halabiya" and Ibn Kathir in the biography, including: Al-Araashi, a man from the tribe of Khath'am, sold camels to Abu Jahl, who then delayed payment. The Quraysh directed him to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, knowing Abu Ja...
“al-Mawāhib al-Ladinnīyyaħ”, ʾImām ʾIbrāhīm al-Bājūrī ash-Shāfiʿī does Tawassul through the rank of the Prophet ﷺ for his closing Duʿāʾ.
"And this compilation, may God have mercy on him, was concluded by highlighting two significant points: an encouragement to perfect the science of Hadith, increasing in it, and exerting effort in acquiring it. He concluded it with what is commonly found in most books of Hadith: 'Indeed, actions are judged by intentions.' God has made the beginning and the end of this work the best, by the grace of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and his family and companions." "To the esteemed gentlemen, may God unite us and them in the abode of peace, with peace. All praise is due to God, the Lord of the Worlds, and He is my sufficiency and the best guardian. There is no power and no strength except through God, the Most High, the Magnificent. It was a privilege for whoever compiled this book ..."
The Prophecy of Prophet Daniel (AS) explanation from the Bible of the ending of the 4 kingdoms and a Solid state replacing them
”goat of the wild beast ” that defeated the ram that symbolizes the Medes and Persians.” (Daniel (8:21) ”And the fourth kingdom will be solid as iron, for iron crushes and crushes all things.” ”And as iron breaks, it shatters and breaks in pieces all these” (this is about the Roman Empire) (Daniel (2:40) Nebuchadnezzar saw a stone cut out of a great mountain without a cutter, and it struck that statue on its feet, which were of iron and clay. And the blow was so strong that the whole statue was shattered, with its gold, silver, bronze, iron, and clay, and became fragments and rubble, blown away by the wind, so that no trace of it was seen. But the stone that broke the statue became a great, high mountain, and the whole earth was filled with it. This is a prophecy of the emergence of Islam. Islam clashed at the beginning of the call with the Roman Empire and then with the Persian Empire. At that time, the Roman Empire had extended its authority over the Greek king of Alexandria ...
Imam An Nawawi (rh) on Muslim 2674 Hadith in the Sharh Sahih Muslim (vol:16/228)
"This Hadith [2674] Whoever calls to guidance and whoever calls to misguidance, these two hadiths are clear in urging the desirability of establishing good things and the prohibition of establishing bad things, and that whoever establishes a good Sunnah will have a reward like that of everyone who acts upon it, until On the Day of Resurrection, whoever establishes a bad practice will bear the burden of everyone who acts upon it until the Day of Resurrection. And whoever calls to guidance will have the rewards of those who follow him, or to misguidance will bear the sins of those who follow him, whether that guidance or misguidance was initiated by him or he was preceded to it, and whether that was teaching. Knowledge, worship, etiquette, or other than that. His statement, may God bless him and grant him peace, “and he acted upon it after him” means that if he established it, whether the action was during his life or after his death, and God knows best." And What is mentioned ...
Mulla Ali Qari’a commentary of the Shifa
The text in English is translated as followed: "... and it is not the place to mention all of them ('and in the narration is a long story'), meaning in the actions of the day and night for Ibn Al-Sunni, may Allah be pleased with him. Abdullah Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, lost movement and weakness overcame his limbs, as though they were the limbs of a man overcome by laziness and incapacity, deprived of movement. It was said to him, 'Shall I remind you of the name of the most beloved to you, and will this affliction be removed from you?' He (Ibn Umar) responded with 'Yes.' So he called with the loudest of his voice, 'Ya Muhammadah!' (O Muhammad!). Immediately, his limbs were restored, and it was as though nothing had afflicted him." This is in volume 2, page 43 in the Sharh of Al Shifa. The Story being mentioned here is : He said, ‘If the person who said this had realised Islam, he would have become a Muslim.’ The meaning is that yo...
Prophet ﷺ will be a witness for the Ummah
There are 5 ayats in the Qur’an that say that the Prophet ﷺ will be an witness for the Ummah on the Day of Judgement. Those 4 ayats are : Surah Baqarah 2:143 , Surah An Nisa 4:41 , Surah Ahzab 33:45-46 , Surah Al Fath 48:8 , Surah Nahl 16:84/16:89. The other ayat about being a witness ( Surah Al Maida 5:117 ) is about the Prophet Isa(Jesus) AS implying that other Prophets and Messengers will be witness for their people. Also, Surah Al Isra 17:71 states that people will be summoned with "their leader". This could be mean deeds , Prophet or scripture. As per footnote in the ayat. The tafsir of Ibn Kathir says that the meaning could also mean "Imam , Mujahid". " Qatadah said that it meant each nation would be called to account by its Prophet. " "Ibn Zayd said it means they would be called to account by their Book which was revealed to their Prophet with its laws. " This links with this hadith: “ My life is good for you, and my death is good ...
Good Innovation and Bad Innovation from the views of Traditional and the Greatest Scholars of Islam and Evidence from the Text:
As the scholars Ibn Hajar and An Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on them) explained in their works ( Fath Al Bari and Sharh Sahih Muslim ): " That these two ahadith are about any act that is not in the Sunnah or from it ." And the hadith that every innovation is misguidance is also about the acts that are not from the Sunnah, an act that is not proven by the acts of the Companions or anywhere else from the text. And the Hadith about the Good Sunnah: " Whoever establishes a good practice in Islam will have its reward and the reward of whoever acts upon it until the Day of Resurrection. " And this means here the good deeds and we know that all the good deeds in Islam are from the Sunnah and if there is any other good deed then it is from the way of the Companions and the people of the Salaf. And innovation is what is not in the Sunnah or any act that cannot be proved from the Sunnah or from the views of the Companions or the Salaf, then they declared it as an innovation...
