Q: There is a Hadith in which it is mentioned:
Allah Ta'ala will gather all the human beings of early generations as well as later generations on one plain so that the announcer will be able to make them all hear his voice and the watcher will be able to see all of them. Does the word announcer and watcher refer to Allah? Also, is Allah attributes with a voice?
Q: Is there a Hadith that says that we should pray as if we are standing in front of Allah? What does this exactly mean?
Q: Kindly inform me if the following is authentic:
A woman came to The Prophet ﷺ and complained to him about her husband that he invites too many guests and she has become weary from preparing food for them and hosting them. The Prophet ﷺ did not answer and the woman left. Sometime later The Prophet ﷺ called the woman's husband and said, "I am your guest today." The man was so happy he went home and told his wife "The Prophet of Allāh ﷺ is our guest today." His wife was ecstatic and spent time and effort and used every bit of food to prepare for the arrival of the Most Honored Guest, The Prophet ﷺ. After the amazing joy of hosting The Prophet ﷺ generously, The Prophet ﷺ told the man, "Tell your wife to watch the door from which I leave your home." So the wife watched the door from which The Prophet ﷺ left her home and saw all kinds of creatures, scorpions and other harmful creatures leaving the house behind The Prophet ﷺ, upon which she fainted due to the immense manifestation and greatness of what she had witnessed. When she came to The Prophet ﷺ, he said to her, "This is what happens when the guest leaves your home, with him all kinds of harm, trials and tribulations and harmful creatures depart from your home, and that is the wisdom behind being generous to one's guest and becoming weary doing so." The house in which the guests are frequent and many is a house which Allāh ﷻ loves. There is nothing better than the 'open house' for the young and the old. In such a house descends Allāh's ﷻ Mercy and Blessings from heaven.
The Prophet ﷺ said, "If Allāh wants good for a people, He sends them a gift." They asked "What kind of gift, oh Prophet of Allāh?" He said, "The guest comes with his own provision, and leaves with the sins of the people of the house."
So my beloved, know that the guest is the way to Paradise. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever believes in Allāh and the Last Day must be generous with his guest." Bukhaari, 5560;
Q: What is the status of the hadith about the 5 favours of Salaah, which is normally quoted by the jamaat brothers. Recently a friend of mine told me that, that particular hadith is weak.
Q: Is there any Hadith which states that Imaan is in the heart?

Q: I have a question about some texts in the Quran whose meanings we should not delve into. I sometimes start getting images in my mind.
For example about this Hadith Prophet Mohammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, "If one of you lowered a bucket by a rope (into a well), then it would fall on Allah." [At-Tirmidhi]
I get an image that a bucket is falling into a well and if Allah is in the well, because it seems that this is what the literal meaning means. Then I get really confused because if I accept this image it seems that I'm doing anthropomorphism and if I reject it what if it is the real meaning. What I mean to say is that whether the meaning is literal or figurative only Allah knows best, but then I get a literal image in my mind. I get really scared that if I accept it, what if it is anthropomorphism and if I reject it, what if this is what actually happens. I'm really scared of doing kufr. Please help me out.
Q: Some sisters were having a conversation on the eating of meat. One sister commented that there is a hadeeth where the Prophet Muhammed sallallahu alahi wa salaam says: "Do not let your stomach become a graveyard for animals." I have never heard of this hadeeth nor seen it anywhere. I once saw that Ali radhiyallahu anhu said that, otherwise no one can give clear proof.
Q: Due to this hadith and seemingly degrading hadiths on women, I'm having doubts and resentments towards men. Can women decide to never be married? The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: “It is not right for any human being to prostrate to another; if it were right for one human being to prostrate to another, I would have commanded women to prostrate to their husbands because of the great rights that they have over them. By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if a man were covered from head to foot with weeping sores oozing pus, and his wife were to come to him and lick his sores (to clean them), this would not fulfil the rights he has over her.’”
It's been days and I can't get over it. Explain this. If marriage means this, I don't know what to think or say. These hadiths really distress me that much. Not only I have my own problems; now I have to read these hadiths which really discourage and sadden me.
Q: Is there any evidence in the Hadith that it will be difficult to find guidance near the end of time?
