History

Q: A question regarding the historical details in the story of Nabi Musa (عليه السلام). 

Some people mention that there were two different Fir'ouns during the lifetime of Nabi Musa (عليه السلام): 

1. The first Fir'oun - the one who ordered the killing of the male children of Bani Israa'eel and who was the husband of Sayyidah Aasiyah (عليها السلام). This is the Fir'oun referred to in the verse: 

فَالْتَقَطَهُ آلُ فِرْعَوْنَ لِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ عَدُوًّا وَحَزَنًا 

(Surah Qasas)

They say this Fir'oun later passed away. 

2. The second Fir'oun - his son, whom Nabi Musa (عليه السلام) later confronted; the Fir'oun who opposed him, crucified the magicians and was eventually drowned. 

It is argued that the verse in Surah Shu'araa does not contradict this view: 

أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ 

because the second Fir'oun could simply be referring to the household and family of Fir'oun (i.e., both father and son). 

The question is: 

Do any classical Mufassireen confirm this view that there were two Fir'ouns during the story of Nabi Musa (عليه السلام)? 

Or do the tafaaseer generally state that the Fir'oun mentioned throughout the entire narrative is the same individual?

Q: 

1. Are all Prophets called Muslims and Mu’mins? 

2. Are all followers of Prophets including previous nations called Muslims and Mu’mins?

Q: I want to know if this is authentic: 

When Nooh (alaihis salaam) was building his ark then the disbelievers came and defecated on the ship. Allah Ta'ala sent a certain skin disease upon these people which they had no cure for. So one disbeliever with the disease slips near the ship and falls into the faeces then realizes he has been cured. All disbelievers then came and cleaned the ship by applying all the faeces to their own bodies.

Q: I would like to know if Baal Mubarak (practice of keep the hair of Nabi [sallallahu alaihi wasallam]) is valid and if the practice of reading salaami is permissible?

Q: Did the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu anhum) work every day of the week? Or was there a day in the week when they rested, pursuing other activities?

Q: I would like to know that when the Bani Israeel were made to wander for 40 years aimlessly, did Hadhrat Moosa (alaihis salaam) also wander with them? I heard in a jamaat bayaan that he roamed with them.

Q: There is a book I read called "100 stories of Hazrat Aaishah (radhiyallahu anha) by Mufti Afzal Hoosen Elias".

One of the chapters that sparked my curiosty was "Her concern for the Aakhirah" It was about how she was overcome by the Surah At Toor aayat 27. The translation of the ayat is: "However, Allah has favoured us and saved us from the punishment of the scorching wind."

The book stated that she was so overcome by this aayat that she kept on reciting it repeatedly, weeping more each time. I want to know a little more about this aayat (tafseer), why was it so powerful that it made her weep so much?

Q: It will be appreciated if you can clarity and confirm the authenticity of the following:

1. Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was extracted from the womb of Bibi Aamina in a sajdah posture.

2. Sand particles were found in the mubaarak fingers of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) upon his birth.

3. For moments on end his eyes were focused to the sky meaning to Allah.

4. His shahada finger was lifted.

Did all this happen on Rasulullah's (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) birth?

It's being quoted that historians have recorded the above. Guidance on the above will be appreciated.
