History

Q: My question is why Allah destroyed the previous nations? What are the reasons behind those destructions? I know some reasons that are 1) because of polytheism 2) because they hate Muslims 3) they tortured Muslims. But I want to know the central point for destruction. Because if they tortured Muslims then in the current era Israelis are also torturing Muslims. So what is the point here. I read a verse that "If we will not destroy them they will spread fitnah on land thats why we will killed them" but I lost this verse. Can you tell me this exact verse number in the Qur'an?

Q: Can you name the people who were not granted amnesty by the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) during the conquest of Makkah? If I recall there were approximately 8 men and 6 women if I am not mistaken.

Q: I have some questions about Hazrat Aadam (Alayhis Salaam), hawaa (Alayhas Salaam) and Iblees.

1. Iblees was a jinn or an angle?

2. What came first, the creation of Aadam (Alayhis Salaam) then hawaa (Alayhas Salaam) or hawaa (Alayhas Salaam) and then Aadam (Alayhis Salaam)?

Q: Can you please explain what exactly Ajwa dates are, and give a brief history on it? Also, are all the dates in Madina referred to as Ajwa Dates?

Q: I have heared in a bayan that Hazrat Hamza (Radiyallahu Anhu's) janaaza namaaz was performed seventy times. It this correct?

Q: There are ten Sahaaba who are referred to as being promised Jannah. But isn't it true that Jannah is promised to all Sahaaba, not only these ten?

Q: Can you please recommend some authentic books on Islamic history? Mainly relating to the early modern to modern period from the 12th century till 20th century. Anything before that will also be helpful.

Q: What is the shajar-e-nasab of Hazrat Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)?

Q: What was the complexion of Umar (Radiyallahu Anhu)? Someone very recently told me that he was "black". Is this true?

Q: My question pertains to Muhammad al Faatih. Most of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'a believe that he was the blessed conqueror prophecised in the Hadith. However, some from the Salafiyyah at my Uni believe that he was not and the Hadith is referring to the Mahdi. In turn, they say some horrendous things against Muhamad al Faatih and incriminate him with incest, drinking and other Kaba'ir. These Salafi's are doing a lot of damage to the Muslims at my campus. A Shaikh once told me that there is Ijma' of the scholars that Muhammad al Faatih was the conqueror of Constantinople that was referred to in the Hadith. Can I please request as many references to scholars and citations of consensus that Muhammad al Faatih was in fact the one Prophecised in the Hadith? This will help me alleviate the confusion and doubts that the Salafis are imbuing in the minds of the Muslims.
