History

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.

Q: When in jamaat, I heard this story being narrated in the bayaans often, under the quality of salaah. The story is as follows:

A Sahaabi (radhiyallahu anhu) had no food in his home. He then went to the masjid and read 2 rakaats of salaah and returned home. He found that there was still no food, and then returned to the masjid to read another 2 rakaats of salaah and returned again to still find no food. For the third time he done this. On his return after the third time, he found that the mill was producing flour on its own. He filled all the containers in his home, and then opened the mill and it stopped making flour.

When he reported the incident to Rasoolullaah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), Rasoolullaah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) told him that if he did not open the mill, it would have continued making flour until the day of qiyaamah.

I want to find out if the above story is authentic.

Q: Was Aazar the father of Ibraaheem (alaihis salaam)?
