Tafseer

Q: Kindly let me know if any Muffasir of the Quran mentioned that it was a Lion (and not a dog) that was present with the Ashaab-e-Kahf in Surah Kahf of the Quran.

Q: My question is, why doesnt the Holy Quran speak directly to women? The Holy Quran speaks directly to men in several cases but why doesnt it speak directly to women. I am a Muslim and do believe that Allah is the greatest, kind and just and in no way believe that He favoured men over women. Therefore, I do know there must be a reason for why Allah did not directly talk to women in the Holy Quran as with men. I also know that in that age more men could read than women but Allah created the Holy Quran until the end of time not just for that age.

Q: I heard a translation of the Quran in which it was being said 'nothing but guidance'. Does it mean all the various things mentioned in the Quran are the aspects of guidance?

Q: "Those who died in the path of Allah Ta'ala we should not call them dead, instead they are provided with their susbtence." I want to now the meaning of this aayah. I am totally confused. 

Q: Please give me a word to word meaning of ayat no 26 of surah Aale Imran. One friend told me the meaning is one who wants Allah Ta'ala to give him respect

Q: What is the interpretation of the Verse of Light?

Q: Which verse in the Qur'an was revealed last?

Narrated Ibn Abbas: The last Verse (in the Quran) revealed to the Prophet was the Verse dealing with usury (i.e. Riba). [Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, #67]

Narrated Al-Bara: The last Sura that was revealed was Bara'a, and the last Verse that was revealed was: "They ask you for a legal verdict, Say: Allah's directs (thus) about those who leave no descendants or ascendants as heirs." (4.176) [Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, #129]

Both are sahih hadith, but they contradict each other. Can you explain me this?

Q: "We created you in pairs" (Quran 78:8)

Why Is the word "we" used and not "I"?

Q: Is there any authentic narration that the opening ayaat of Surah Tahreem is because Rasulullah (salallahu alayhi wasalam) had relations with Mariya Kibtiya (radhiyallahu anha) and Hazrat Ayesha (radhiyallahu anha) did not approve, so Rasulullah (salallahu alayhi wasalam) refrained from Maariyah (radhiyallahu anha)?

Q: Is there something mentioned in the Qur'an about the enemies of Allah?
