Hello im new here, and have some questions:

If Abraham means "father of nations" what does Ibrahim mean?
If Yoshua means "the Lord is salvation." what does Isa mean?
etc.

Where does it say in the Quran we need to circle the Kaba 7 times?

Why should i believe what is said in the Hadith as it's not devine as the messages of Ahmed/Mohammed (which means the praised one). But just passed on and they differ allot from each tribe.

I hope you can answere these questions.

Greetings & Welcome, wiiwii

Q: If Abraham means "father of nations" what does Ibrahim mean?
If Yoshua means "the Lord is salvation." what does Isa mean?
etc.

A: Ibrahim would also mean "father of nations." If Yoshua or Yeshua meant "the Lord is salvation", Isa should also mean that but it does not mean that Isa or Yeshua himself was the Lord of salvation.

Q: Where does it say in the Quran we need to circle the Kaba 7 times?

A: Qur'aan does not say that we need to circle the Kaa'ba seven times. However, it tells us to go around it. Verse 29 Surah 22 Hajj

Q: Why should i believe what is said in the Hadith as it's not devine as the messages of Ahmed/Mohammed (which means the praised one). But just passed on and they differ allot from each tribe.

A: If you don't wish to believe, that is your wish but you can still learn by picking up the best which stand up true and correct in the light and shade of Qur'aan.
