Commentary on the hadith about clean earth being a means of purification for the Muslim

The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) sometimes got angry because he was human

Is it true that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was leaning against `Ali’s chest when he died?

What the Shi`ah say about the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) dying when he was leaning against `Ali’s chest is all false, and no attention is to be paid to it. These reports are not strong enough to contradict the hadith of `A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), concerning which the scholars are unanimously agreed that it is authentic.

Reflecting on the signs of Allah, including the rising and setting of the sun

Reflecting on the signs of Allah in the universe and the signs (verses) in His Book is a great act of worship which leads to the revival of the heart, an increase in certainty of faith and veneration of the Creator. The rising and setting of the sun are two great signs of Allah, may He be Exalted, as He says: {[He is] Lord of the two places of sunrise and Lord of the two places of sunset. Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny?} [Ar-Rahman 55:17, 18]. It is heedlessness for a person not to pay attention to the momentous signs by which he is surrounded, such as the heavens, the mountains, the alternation of night and day, the blowing of the wind and the clouds that are suspended between heaven and earth.

Ruling on an oath that is not completed

On the Day of Resurrection there will be various stages and events which are explained in the texts of the Quran and Sunnah

There is no contradiction between the verse and the hadith, and there is no confusion regarding them, such that we need to reconcile between them. The discussion in one text is general and it is more detailed in the other text; this is something normal that happens often in religious texts, and the same applies when people talk to one another and discuss things.
