When Allah mentions how He took His servant Muhammad ﷺ, on the Journey by Night, He follows it by mentioning Musa, His servant, and Messenger who also spoke with Him. Allah often mentions Muhammad ﷺ and Musa (AH.) together, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon them both, and he mentions the Tawrah and the Qur'an together.

The Qur'an, Sunnah, and 'Ijma' prove that the Mi` raj was physical.

It is proved from the text of the Holy Qur'an, and from Ahadith coming in uninterrupted succession mentioned later that the entire journey of the Isra' and Mi` raj was not simply spiritual, instead, it was physical - like the journey of anyone else. The very first word of the Holy Qur'an in this Surah: سُبحَانَ (Subhan: Pure is He! ) carries a hint in this direction because this word is used to register wonder or introduce a great marvel. Had the Mi` raj been merely spiritual, just a matter of dream, what was there so unusual about it? As for a dream, every Muslim, even every human being, can see it and report that he or she went to the heavens, did this and did that.

The second indication embedded in the word: عَبد ('abd: servant) also points in the same direction because ` abd is no spirit all by itself, instead, it is the name of the combination of body and spirit.

In addition to that, when the Holy Prophet ﷺ related the event of Mi` raj to Sayyidah Umm Hani ؓ ، she advised him not to mention it before anyone otherwise people would falsify it even more. Had this been the matter of a dream, what was there in it that needed to be falsified?

The scholars do not differ about the fact that marriage is recommended (mustahabb) and entails many virtues.
There are many benefits to it, including the following:

Children: marriage aims to preserve one’s lineage. Making children also earn the love of Allah as one helps the survival of mankind. It is also a way of seeking the love of Allah’s Messenger (SAW) as one increases what is a source of glory for him.

It also entails seeking the blessings of the supplications of pious children and earning the intercession (shafaah) if a small child passes away. It is also a way of protecting oneself from the Satan by repelling the perils of lust (ghawailal-shahwa).

It is also a way of emptying the heart (tafrigh al-qalb) of the trouble of running the household, (and all the chores of) cooking and cleaning, furnishing, washing dishes, and preparing decent means of living. Constantly preoccupied with domestic chores alone is very difficult; it takes most of one’s time and hinders him from studying and doing good deeds. A virtuous wife and good housekeeper is therefore an aid to help one in practicing his religion in this way, for deficiency in carrying out these chores distracts the heart.

It is also a way of striving against the soul (mujahadat al-nafs) and training (rijadah) it through custodianship (ri'aya), guardianship (wilaya) and fulfilling the family’s rights. One benefits from having patience (sabt) with his wife’s manners and bearing her harm as he rectifies them and directs them to the religion’s path. One also benefits from working and making a lawful living for her sake and raising the children. All of these are tremendously meritorious acts, for they constitute custodianship and guardianship.

Wearing any type of Tawiz in Islam is forbidden. Any suffering in the life of a human is a test from Allah. Those who show patience and have firm belief in Allah's will can overcome life's challenges and hardships. Wearing any kind of Tawiz will not provide assistance.

If your child has a fever, you should consult a Child Specialist doctor. A Child Specialist doctor possesses the knowledge necessary to diagnose your child's condition. Similarly, if you visit a cardiologist, they may not be able to determine what's wrong with your child because their expertise is limited. Allah is the All-Knowing. If He has introduced difficulties into your life, it is solely to test your faith.

Scholars have disagreed concerning at-tamemah, if it is from the Qur'an: Some have forbidden it, inferring a general prohibition from this Hadith, while others have permitted it, comparing it to ar-ruqiyah, which may be from the Qur'an and is permissible; but the first saying is more correct, and Allah knows best.

It is reported on the authority of Abdullah Ibn 'Ukaim (RA) in a marfoo' form: "Whoever wore something (around his neck) will be put in its charge." (Narrated by Ahmad and At-Tirmizi) 'Abdullah Ibn 'Ukaim (RA) tells us that the Prophet (PBUH) informed him that whoever needed something, he should entrust his affair to Allah, and that whoever depended upon Allah, Alone to fulfill his needs, Allah will relieve his distress and make his affairs easy, but whoever depended upon something other than Allah, and entrusted his affairs to it, will be left in its charge.

The hadith in Bukhari illustrates wisdom, trust, and vision for the Muslim ummah. Umar Ibn Khattab (RA) served as the second caliph of Islam. During his time as the caliph, he introduced trading laws. While Prophet Mohammad (SAW) had already taught these laws, it was his students (sahaba) who dedicated their lives to teaching the Quran, Sunnah, Hadith, and Fiqh to their own students, including some young sahaba.

In this narration, Qatadah informs us that Allah Most High, Created the stars for only three things:

The first: is to beautify the night sky.

The second, as projectiles against the devils who approach the lowest heaven in order to overhear the angels speaking of the Commandments of Allah which they then attempt to convey to the fortune-tellers and soothsayers.

The third, is as guidance for the wayfarer at night, whether on land or at sea.

Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) added that anyone who claims more than this for the stars such as the claims of astrologers, that the positions of the stars and planets exert an influence on our daily lives, is acting out of ignorance, and will receive no reward from Allah on the Day of Judgement and has gone astray from the Straight Path.

In this hadith, we can observe a clear link between maintaining a positive perspective towards Allah and engaging in virtuous actions. This connection is immediately followed by an encouragement to continuously remember Allah, seeking to draw closer to Him through acts of obedience. When one holds a positive view of their Lord, this serves as a driving force to engage in acts of goodness.

Al-Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) has expressed that true believers harbors positive thoughts about their Lord, which subsequently motivates them to perform righteous deeds. On the contrary, an individual with negative perceptions of their Lord tends to lean towards committing sinful acts.

This narration is documented by Ahmad in az-Zuhd (p. 402).
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

Whoever reflects upon the matter properly will realize that thinking positively of Allah will lead to doing righteous deeds, because the only reason for doing righteous deeds is his thinking positively of his Lord and believing that He will reward him for his deeds and accept them from him. So what motivates him to do good deeds is his thinking positively of Allah. Hence the more he thinks positively of Allah, the better his deeds will be. But thinking positively of Allah whilst following whims and desires is a kind of failure

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was the most generous of all the people, and he used to reach the peak in generosity in the month of Ramadan when Gabriel met him. Gabriel used to meet him every night of Ramadan to teach him the Qur'an. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was the most generous person, even more, generous than the strong uncontrollable wind (in readiness and haste to do charitable deeds).
