The Quran was completely written during the lifetime of the prophet (A), but not compiled in one book, for the following reasons:

A) the process for revelation was still on going.

By the death of the prophet (A), the end of the Quran was confirmed and thus the separate pieces containing the Quran were put together in one compilation by Abu Bakr (R).

2)

Surah Al-Maa’idah’ Ayah 20-26. They were kicked out of the Holy Land because they refused the command of Allah to enter the Holy Land, and so it became forbidden for them.

Surah Ahzab Ayah 37. The reason of revelation was the command that Zaid ibn Haritha (R.A) was to divorce his wife Zainab bint Jahsh (R.A), followed by the command by Allah (S.W.T) for the Prophet (S.A.W) to marry her, to show and further emphasize that adoption is not permissible. (S.A.W)

7)

Dream -> Well -> Aziz’s House -> Prison -> King. His father spoiled him, which is apparently good, but this caused his brothers to throw him in the well out of jealousy. This event was a tragedy, yet it caused Yusuf to live in the Aziz’s house. This event is good, yet this caused him to be trapped by the temptation of the Aziz’s wife and therefore jailed when he refused the temptation. This was an apparent tragedy, yet this caused him to be known as a explainer or dreams and he helped the king, gaining him a position of Wazeer.

8)

(There is a different narration with this story, saying that Osama Ibn Zaid was walking with his men in a city, and a man was walking with his sheep and camel, and he ran to hide them and came out back to Osama and told him Salaam. Osama killed them man and took the sheep, and the rest of the story is the same. Weak, but acceptable.

This verse is about Osama ibn Zaid (R.A) when he went to war against the Kuffar, and in the war, he was fighting one man. When Osama (R.A) was about to kill the man, he said “Laa Ilaaha illAllah” yet Osama (R.A) killed him anyways. Later, he told the story to the prophet(S.A.W), and the prophet(S.A.W) said “you killed him after he said Laa Ilaaha IllAllah?” and Osama (R.A) said “he only said It out of fear because I was going to kill him” and the prophet(S.A.W) repeated angrily what he previously said, and added “what if this Laa Ilaaha IllalAllah comes against you on the day of Judgement?” and Osama(R.A) narrated that he wished he was not a Muslim when he did what he did and had accepted Islam after this day instead.

11)

“The later rule cancels the first. When a ruling in Shariah is changed by Allah (SWT), it does not mean the first was right or wrong, rather it was changed for a reason.

The evidence that supports the evolutionist theory is inconclusive. There are many holes in it, gaps of millions of years that cannot be explained, and hypotheticals as to how creation began. It truly is a theory that has to look for evidence and try hard to fit it into the narrative. There is little to no fact that concretely proves the evolution theory.

He was the son of a Zoroastrian Priest who was in charge of the fire at their temple. He was not satisfied w/ his father’s religion. He once met with a Christian Priest. He liked him and became a Christian. He wanted to learn so he was directed to another priest in Sham, he was going from one priest to another until he was told by one that there will soon be a coming of a new prophet. He was told the prophet will come in a land with many dates, so he went to Khaybar, where he was sold as a slave. He heard from his master that the prophet was in Madinah, and so he visited him, and confirmed the 3 signs of prophethood, and he became a Muslim.

First:

When the eatable animal is given electric shock, and after that, it is slaughtered while it is alive, then it is Halal to eat it as Almighty Allah says: “Forbidden to you (for food) are dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine and that on which has been invoked the name of other than Allah, that which has been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a head long fall, or by being gored to death, that which has been (partly) eaten by a wild animal unless you are able to slaughter it (in due form)…” (Qur’an, 5:3)

Second:

If the electrically shocked animal expires before its slaughter, then it is dead and it is not lawful to eat it as Allah says: “Forbidden to you (for food) are dead meat…” (Qur’an, 5:3)

Yes, this is a type of Riba, because Allah (S.W.T) ordered us to wait/delay if someone is truly in hardship and doesn’t have the money. Furthermore, the contract cannot distinguish between someone in

hardship and someone lying. So, this condition is invalid. Some scholars said it is allowed to have this late fee in the contract on the condition that one figures out first if it is truly due to hardship, and in this case must wait, or if lying, they take the money as a punishment to the other. Here, it is not Riba.
