SaveThe Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) sometimes got angry because he was human
SaveIs 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.SaveIs precedence given to the maternal grandmother over the father with regard to custody of children?

SaveReflecting 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.

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.Save
Celebrating the Isra’ and Mi’raaj
Answers
Did Prophet Muhammad See Allah?
Most of the Companions were of the view that Prophet Muhammad did not see Allah with his eyes on the night of the Mi`raj. `Aishah said: “Whoever told you that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw his Lord was lying.”
SaveWhy Prophet Muhammad Led Prophets in Prayer in Al-Isra’
The reason why Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) led other prophets in prayer in Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa during Al-Isra’ is that our Prophet Muhammad is the greatest leader. One of the scholars suggested another reason for leading prophets in prayer in Al-Isra` which is that this ummah took over the position of leading mankind.
SaveCan Muslims Celebrate Al-Isra’ and Al-Mi`raj?
It is not permissible for Muslims to celebrate the night of Al-Isra’ and Al-Mi`raj because the Prophet and his Companions did not celebrate it and they did not single it out in any way.
SaveAre Al-Isra’ and Al-Mi`raj a Myth?
• Al-Isra’ and Al-Mi`raj are among the great signs of Allah that point to the truth of His Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and to the greatness of his status before Allah.
• From the hadith of the Isra’, it is known that Prophet Muhammad was taken on the night journey in a physical sense when he was awake, according to the correct opinion, from Al-Masjid Al-Haram to Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, riding on Al-Buraq, in the company of Jibril (peace be upon him). He halted there and led the prophets in prayer, and he tied Al-Buraq to the ring of the door of the mosque.
• Then he was taken up from Bayt Al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) on that night to the first heaven, where Jibril asked for it to be opened and it was opened for them. There he saw Adam, the father of mankind; he greeted him with Salam and he welcomed him and returned his Salam, and acknowledged his Prophethood. Then he was taken up to the second heaven…Save
