Is It Possible for the Sunnah to Abrogate a Verse of the Quran?
As salaamu alaikum. I almost forgot to ask this question: I’ve had an argument with a friend and she said that the ayahs of the Qur’an cannot be abrogated by the Sunna of our Prophet (saws). I said that nikah mut’ah was forbidden by the Prophet (saws) in the Sunna and not in the Qur’an (i.e. there is no ayah in the Quran that says it is not.. More

Quran does not use stories from any past Books
Hi! I would like to ask you about the story of Jesus creating clay birds, which is referred to in Quran. This story comes from an apocryphal Gospel called Infancy Gospel of Thomas, which all scholars and historians consider to be a forgery and unreliable, historically speaking. So why does the Quran use a story from such a document?

Misinterpretation of verse 57:14
Assalaamu alaykum. I was just wondering; there are loads of verses which encourage to question and not to be blind followers and such, but verse 57:14 makes it sound as if once you are Muslim or already were Muslim, you are not allowed to question anymore or it is wrong to question. Verse 57:14 makes it sound as if if you question, you have become a.. More

Bees were created before man
Assalaamu alaykum. Verse 16:68 makes it sound as if humans were created before bees, but that is wrong; we know that bees existed way before humans. God told the bee to live in what they, the humans, built, so it makes it sound as if the bees did not exsist till after the humans, but that would be wrong because animals existed way before us.

Shiite allegation about verse 24:35
Assalaamu alaykum. I mistakenly found the following Shiite claims on the “distortion” of the Quran from a Sunni source:

Ali bin Al-Hussain narrated from Nasr bin 'Ali, from his father, from Shebl bin Abaad, from Qays bin Saad, from Attaa', from Ibn 'Abbaas: {Allaah is the light of the.. More

Meaning of {whoever enters it is safe} [Quran 3:97]
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. There is a verse in the Quran that says that you will not have friends on the day of Judgment, but there is a verse that says that the people of piety will be brothers. Can you please explain how these two relate? To me, it seems like they are talking about different stages, but please explain.

Physical beauty of women of Paradise in the Quran
I was wondering, is the following true in regards to verses of Paradise being revealed in the Quran?
Hence, it is proved that the concept of “Maidens of Paradise” was also known in the pre-Islamic Arabia, especially among the Christians. The Quran, as is its style under normal circumstances, used the same words for the deliverance of its message,.. More

About word 'Rabwah' in verse 2:265
Assalaamu alaykum. In verse 2:265 of the Quran, Allaah specifically mentions a garden on a "Rabwah" to yield double than other gardens. It was translated as a "garden on a high ground", and I read in Tafseer Ibn Katheer that Ibn ‘Abbaas, may Allaah be pleased with him, said that the 'Rabwah' is a high ground on which plants can best grow. Is there.. More
