The absence of female prophets or messengers in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam comes from the wisdom of Allah. Allah chose to select all messengers from among men. This decision is based on the nature of the tasks given to prophets and messengers. Here are some valid reasons why were there no female prophets or messengers:

• Nature of Tasks: A messenger who comes with multiple tasks such as engaging in public or private interactions. Prophet responsibilities are more suitable for men due to their physical capabilities and societal roles.
• Leadership and Authority: Messengers are leaders, issuing commands, making judgments, and guiding their followers. These responsibilities require a level of authority and leadership that was not been accepted as a woman in certain cultures and historically.
• Biological Factors: Women experience biological processes like menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery, which can hinder their ability to fulfill the demanding tasks associated with prophethood or messengers.

We can not see female prophets in history but there have been exceptional women in religious history. The big example is Mother Mary the mother of Jesus(PBUH). In history, many women were just like prophets or supporters of the messengers here are some examples:

• The mother of Moses was receiving Allah message that is often interpreted differently, such as being through dreams or visions rather than prophethood.

If there were no female messengers, that does not mean that religions deny the role of women in religious narratives. Women were contributing equally, and their contributions were acknowledged and mentioned in different contexts.

Vanilla extract in Islam is Halal or haram, the answer to this depends on its ingredients and how it was prepared. The following are the most obvious examples:

Vanilla extract usually contains alcohol, because traditional vanilla was created by macerating and percolating vanilla beans in a solution containing ethanol and water. The alcohol in the ethanol holds particular significance because Islam prohibits drinking alcohol. But that will depend on the alcohol type and also at least partly the volume of it.

Origin of the alcohol: If the vanilla extract contains alcohol that is not derived from wine and it has been added to a dish in small quantities so as not to be intoxicating then some Muslim scholars permit its use (halal). The alcohol serves as a solvent and evaporates.

Yes, smoking is generally considered haram (forbidden) in Islam. The Quran does not specifically mention about that smoking is haram. However many Islamic scholars consider it haram because it harms the body.

Additionally, smoking can harm other humans through second hand smoke, which goes against the Islamic principle of not causing harm to others. So, in simple terms, smoking is Haram in Islam because it hurts you and others, and taking care of your body is important in Islam.

In Islamic terminology, women Awrah refers to the parts of the body that should be covered in front of others. This is particularly those of the opposite gender, outside of certain close relatives. For women, the awrah typically includes the entire body except for the face, hands, and feet. However, interpretations may vary among different Islamic scholars and cultural contexts. The requirement to cover the awrah is based on Quranic and Hadith teachings.
