The Quran states something about two seas/oceans that are mixing, but this fact has been stated before the existence of the Quran. "The drinkable, sweet water, then, is light and is all of it drawn up: the salt water is heavy and remains behind.” -Aristotle (382 BC to 322 BC). I have also been told that all the facts stated in the Quran have been.. More
Assalaamu alaykum, dear Scholars. My question is the following: is it true that Soorah Al-Faatihah was reveled twice, once in Makkah and then again in Madeenah? Your assistance in the matter will be highly apreciated. May Allaah reward you.

Assalaamu alaykum, my Muslim Brother. Is there any hadith with an explanation or benefit regarding reciting a Quranic verse which, if a person recites it during a day, he will not die on that particular day, like the Quranic verse "Lakaad Jaakum".

Assalaamu alaykum. I read your fatwa, No. 86045, and was surprised that some scholars said that it is lawful to charge a fee for teaching the Quran. Allaah said (36:21), “Obey those who ask no wages of you.” So who do you want me to believe, Allaah, ‘The King’, or scholars? Because of this verse, I do not read/listen to any imam who asks for..

Assalaamu alaykum. I have a website that sells Islamic T-shirts inspired by the Quran (but not containing Quran texts). It is a "print-on-demand" model, which means that I pay my designer to create images (a text with sketches of non-living things) and then put these images onto T-shirt images (using my supplier's software), and then the supplier's..

Assalaamu alaykom.
{In it are clear signs [such as] the standing place of Abraham. And whoever enters it shall be safe.} I am unable to understand that Allaah said (what means): {And whoever enters it shall be safe.} whileI alwayshearthat many people (pilgrims) die during the Hajj. That sounds strange to me; as if we are doing something wrong. Can.. More
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Is it permissible to apply oil, medication, or water and so on under one's feet, on which one blows after doing Ruqyah (healing through Quranic recitation and supplication)?
