What does Islam say about suicide?
yes, it is.
It is one of the big sins in Islam especially that it is the only sin where there is no chance of who committed suicide sin to repent and ask God forgiveness.
Answer:
Absolutely. I would like to add, to what my colleague has written above, that those who commit terrorist acts of suicide bombings are committing suicide and murder.

It is haram (forbidden) to use charms or believe in omens.
Answer-2
According to Islam, Almighty Allah enjoys the Sole Power of deciding Good or Bad fate. No one can do any harm to anybody if Allah does not wish to do so, neither can any one give benefit to anybody against the wish of Almighty Allah. Believing in charm or omen is against this belief, thus Haram.

Was the Quran revealed to all prophets?
The Books sent down by Allahu ta'âlâ are many. Our religious books Qur'an al-karim write 104 of them. 100 of them are small Books. These small Books are called suhuf.
100 suhuf were revealed to the following prophets:
10 suhuf to Âdam 'alaihis-salâm
50 suhuf to Shît 'alaihis-salâm
30 suhuf to Idrîs 'alaihis-salâm
10 suhuf to Ibrâhîm 'alaihis-salâm
The four big Books were revealed to the following prophets:
The Tawrât (Torah) to Mûsâ (Moses) 'alaihis-salâm
The Zabûr (the original Psalms) to Dâwud 'alaihis-salâm
The Injîl to 'Îsâ (Jesus) 'alaihis-salâm
The Qur'ân al-karîm to our master the Prophet, Muhammad 'alaihis-salâm
It is Jabrâil 'alaihis-salâm who brought all the Books. The Qur'ân al-karîm replaced the rules of all the divine Books, that is, abolished the validity of their rules and accumulated in itself all these rules. Today all people have to follow the Qur'ân al-karîm. Now in no country exist the original copies of Tawrat or Injîl. There are defiled Bibles. These divine Books were falsified, that is, altered by people over the course of time. Even if they had not been falsified, it would not have had validity because Allahu ta'âlâ abrogated all of them.
The Qur'ân al-karîm was revealed verse by verse, and its descent was completed in 23 years. It will be valid until the end of the world. It is safe from being invalid or being altered by humans. A person who believes that there are missing points or additions in the Qur'ân al-karîm has not believed in Allahu ta'âlâ.
It is purported in the following Qur'anic verses:
(It is We who have sent down the Qur'ân, and it is certainly We who will protect it.) [Sûrat-ul-Hijr, 9]
(The Qur'ân is a matchless Book. Falsehood [any addition or omission] cannot come to it from before it or from behind it [from no direction, in no way]. [Because] It has been sent down by Allah, whom the universe praises, who is the Owner of decree and hikmah.) [Sûrat-u Fussilat, 41-42]
Allahu ta'âlâ sent these Books to some prophets by making the angel say to their blessed ears. To some He sent Books inscribed on tablets, and to some others by making them hear without the angel. All these Books are the Word of Allahu ta'âlâ. They are eternal in the past and everlasting. They are not creatures. They are not words made up by angels, nor are they words of prophets.
The Word of Allahu ta'âlâ is unlike the language which we write, keep in mind, and speak. It is not like being in writing, speech, or mind. It does not have letters or sounds. Humans cannot understand how Allahu ta'âlâ and His Attributes are. But humans can read that Word, keep it in mind, and write it. This means to say that the Word of Allahu ta'âlâ has two aspects: When it is with human beings, it is a creature and haadith (created). When it is thought as the Word of Allahu ta'âlâ, it is eternal (qadîm).
Why sura Sura al-Baqarahs title called the cow?

What does Islam say about transgenders?

What ayah has all letters of the Arabic alphabet?
there are two:
- Suratu Aali imraan ayah no 154 thumma anzala alaykum.
- Suratul Fath ayah no.29 (the last one) Muhammad ar rasoolullaah.
It does not contradict because it use the word "if" meaning if it was true that Allah had a son the, prophet muhammed would be the first to worship him, and acknowledge his existence. Rather then denie it in Chapter 19 verse 92.
What does Islam say about hand practice?
Islam has contradicting opinions regarding hand practice or masturbation. Scholars view it as an unlawful act thus the prohibitions based to the Islamic doctrines. Others think there is nothing wrong especially when it is done out of fear to commit fornication.
Why is it improper to use a bismillah when reciting Surat at-Tawba?
Because, like in the Quran, at the start there is noBismillah (as opposed to most other suras which do start with Bismillah). This is probably because when it was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (saw/pbuh), it was never said. In a different surah (Surah Naml), Bismillah is recited twice.
How is Quran coherent with Modern Science?
Islam is the religion which is most coherent with the rules of science. Quran has many verses which relate to the modern science discoveries. The following answer will briefly explain the relation of Quran and Science.
Physics and Astronomy:
1:Allah says in the Quran:
"Do not the Unbelievers see That the heavens and the earth
Were joined together (as one Unit of Creation), before We split them
apart?"
[Al-Qur'an 21:30]
The above verse of Quran explains a widely accepted phenomenon of sicence: The Big Bang.
2:According to many astrophysicists The universe in its beginning was initially condensed into a mass known as primary nebula and then there was a universal explosion known as the big bang which split it into many galaxies.
Moreover scientists say that the initial celestial matter was in form of smoke and gas.
The following ayah in Quran describes this phenomenon:
"Moreover, He Comprehended In His design the sky, And it had been
(as) smoke: He said to it And to the earth: 'Come ye together, Willingly
or unwillingly.' They said: 'We do come (Together), in willing
obedience.'" [Al-Qur'an 41:11]
How can a book which was revealed 1400 years ago be so coherent with the scientific knowledge discerned just nearly a century ago?
3:For a log time it was thought that all the celestial bodies were rotating around the earth, which was considered stationary. After the publication of Astronomia Nova in 1609 by Johannes Keppler it became clear that all the planets were revolving around the sun. After this discovery another misconception took place and it was thought that the sun is stationary.
Allah says in Quran:
"It is He who created The Night and the Day, And the
sun and the moon: All (the celestial bodies) Swim along, each in its
Rounded course." [Al-Qur'an 21:33]
Again, this knowledge was just discerned in modern times how can any person from nomadic Arabia know such fact? This points towards the divine source of Quran.
4: Interstellar matter:
Until previous times it was thought that the space out of the planets and stars is just vacuum which was disproved recently by the discovery of the interstellar matter.
This fact was described in Quran 1400 years ago.
"He Who created the heavens And the earth and all That is between." [Al-Qur'an 25:59]
Does the Koran allow Muslims to lie under certain conditions?
Yes, it is an Arabic custom if it be for the furtherance of Islam.
What does the Muslim name nimra mean?
It means number. This is transtaltion from English word.
Or if you meant Namira Masjid in Makkah, it referres to a place, where the Masjid in, it means tiger.
Correction: Namrah means number. Nimra is the name of the masjid and it means tiger. Not Namira.
