'Land' in verse [31:34] includes space and water
In Surah Luqman, verse 34 says that no soul knows in which land it will die except Allaah. I want to know whether 'land' here also includes space and water or not. Are these five things mentioned in Surah Luqman, verse 34, only things from the Unseen (Al-Ghayb) ?

Passing of mountains in verse 27:88 will be on Day of Resurrection
Dear members of IslamWeb. I would like to know what the scholarly opinion is concerning verse 88 of Surat Al-Naml about the mountains passing in the same manner as clouds while we think that they are stationary. I have read that this actually refers to the Earth orbitating around the Sun and spinning around its own axis as well as to the continental.. More

Meaning of wisdom in Quran 33:34
Assalaamu alaykum. I heard that hikmah (wisdom)in the Quran means the Sunnah, but only in this verse: {And remember what is recited in your houses of the verses of Allah and wisdom. Indeed, Allah is ever Subtle and Acquainted [with all things].} [Quran 33:34] So what do you say?

Assalaamu alaykum. How do we understand the following verse?
{And, indeed, We have adorned the lowest heaven [the heaven of the world] with lamps [stars], and made them missiles to drive away devils.} Are these refering to metorites or stars? I read in a tafsir (exegesis) that these are metorites that are flung from the stars. But metorites do not.. More

Meaning of 'In Shaa' Allaah' in verse 48:27
Assalaamu alaykum, Shaykh. I sent this question yesterday, and you sent me a fatwa as answer, but it did not answer the question. I was talking about the use of the word in that verse, not in general, so here it is again. Sorry shaykh, could you please answer? May Allaah reward you. There is a verse that says something like, "In shaa' Allah, you will.. More

Interpretation of the verse in Soorah Al-Kahf about the sun setting in water
Assalaamu alaykum. Please read the whole question. May Allaah reward you. There is a verse that says that the sun goes down in the sea in soorah 18. Now, I know that this means that it apeared to be doing so to Thul Qarnyan, and I saw someone even prove this from the Arabic without the possibility of doubt, but my question is the following: I heard..

Indication of the verb 'kaana' in reference to Iblees in Quran 18:50
Assalaamu alaykum. May Allaah reward you for answering some of my previous questions; the answers really helped. I have another question. The word 'kaana' is used in the meaning of 'it was' or 'it became' in the Quran. Although the expression “Kaana min al-kafirin” is translated as “He became from the unbelievers” in Baqarah 34, the expression.. More

Assalaamu alaykum. You answered my question in fatwa 299269, but how can you reconcile the tafseer (exegesis) of that verse, which was talking about this world, with the hadith in Bukhaari where the little boy died and the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,ordered to not say that he is in Paradise because he was not even where he himself will be,..

Ibn Katheer's interpretation of the barrier between the fresh and salty seas
Assalaamu alaykum. I asked you two times concerning an issue of tafseer and you sent me links to other fatwas, but that did not really help. That is why I want to formulate my question a little different now: In Surah Ar-Rahmaan and Surah Al-Furqaan, Allaah describes a barrier between fresh and salty water. What was the opinion of ibn Katheer concerning.. More

The meaning of ʻIlliyoon and Sijjeen
Assalaamu alaykum. We know that during the journey of the soul after death, if the deceased is a believer, Allaah will command that he be written in ‘Illiyyoon, and if he is a disbeliever, that he be written in Sijjeen (as mentioned in Surah Al-Mutaffifeen). What are ‘Illiyoon and Sijjeen? Is ‘Illiyoon a place in Paradise and Sijjeen a place in.. More
