Salam! There are ranks (درجات) in paradise (جنة). Eden is most likely among one of that rank. There are many ranks/degrees of paradise mentioned in Quran namely 1. جنة المأوى 2. الخلد 3. دار السلام 4. جنات النعيم etc... ولكل درجات مما عملوا (And all have degrees according to what they do) I don't think so, the place Eden come into existence prior to giving that name to any physical location on Earth. Wassalam! -
On this blessed Friday, a reflection on one of the Holy verses of Surat Al kahf (18:31) أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهِمُ الْأَنْهَارُ يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ وَيَلْبَسُونَ ثِيَابًا خُضْرًا مِّن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ ۚ نِعْمَ الثَّوَابُ وَحَسُنَتْ مُرْتَفَقًا Do we read the word as a name of a location on earth (city of Aden, Yemen from where the word Garden of Eden was taken) - to which some people would relate back then as a magnificent place as in a wonder of the world - or as the meaning of "eternity" ? See here the occurrences of the word in the Qur'an -

Salam! The very first reference Kamanpori gave of the letter of Imam Ali (عليه السلام) which he wrote to Muawiyah (L) gives the perfect example that his 800 pages of PhD thesis makes him الْحِمَارِ يَحْمِلُ أَسْفَارًا (an ass bearing books). How poor is his understanding of the arguments put forth by Imam Ali (عليه السلام) in that letter. I am quoting what Kamanpori said in that video: "Imam Ali (عليه السلام) was basing the validity & legitimacy of his caliphate on the validity & legitimacy of the caliphs before him" Yes, in any discussions with the opponent, you have to base your argument on a mutually agreed foundation. In case of Muawiyah (L) who started rebillion against Imam Ali (عليه السلام) and rejected his caliphate was invited to that foundation by which he accepted the caliphate of Abu Bakar, Umar & Uthman. All know that Imam Ali (عليه السلام) never pledged allegiance to Abu Bakar during the life time of Syeda Fatima (s.a) according to unanimously agreed history. So he was never basing the validity & legitimacy of "his caliphate" on the false premise. He already challenged the validity & legitimacy of consultation in the sermon of shaqshaqya. This alone challenge what Kamanpori said afterwards: "Shura & Consultation was the right of muhajireen & ansaar" Imamate, being a divine covenant as introduced in 2:124 cannot reach to the unjust. We have seen that by the shura or consultation, how muhajireen & ansaar chosen the unjust Abu Bakar, Umar & Uthman as their Imams. Wassalam!

I'm seeking advice on signing up for the Google AdSense advertising program. This program acts as a mediator between two parties: first, companies or associations that own websites and want to advertise through a paid service, and second, website owners who want these ads displayed on their sites in exchange for compensation from Google. Google's terms and conditions specify that they do not accept ads for sites involved in certain activities such as pornography, gambling, and drugs, whether it's from the advertiser or the website owner. However, as a non-Islamic company, Google does accept ads for other activities considered haram, such as banks dealing with interest, forex, movies, songs, tourism, and women's affairs. Some regular websites may even display ads featuring women with full makeup. After linking with Google AdSense, I receive an advertising code, which I then place on my website focused on Islamic teachings. The code functions automatically by scanning the words on the webpage and displaying relevant ads based on the page's subject matter. Additionally, the ads are tailored to the visitor's country. The AdSense code changes the displayed ads frequently, making it challenging to observe. For instance, if the website is about cars, most ads will relate to cars, and if it's about herbs, the majority of ads will be herb-related. Even if two people are visiting the same website simultaneously—one from Canada and the other from Japan—they will see different ads. Moreover, you won't see an ad on a page today that you saw yesterday. I use an observation program to monitor all the advertisements on my website, allowing me to view ads from both my country and other countries. The filtering feature allows me to control which ads are displayed on my website by adding specific ads to my filter list, which has a maximum capacity of 200 sites. It's important to note that although I can prevent a particular ad from showing, there is no guarantee it won't be displayed again. Google explicitly states, "Please note that Google does not commit that all ads for the websites that you add to your competitive ad filter list or ads containing objectionable content will be prevented from display on your site." From my personal experience, I've found that this filtering mechanism does work effectively. I rely on this as my primary source of income. It's worth mentioning that my website does not feature any images of humans or animals, and the majority of the advertisements, with very few exceptions, are related to Islamic teaching. Could you please provide guidance in this regard? Is this source of Income Halal or Haram?
