  • Some questions about prayer and divine decree

    I have a few questions which I am very confused about: 1. Is it true that the lines on our hands change every 30 days or something like that? Do they even change at all? Some say it is proven from the Qur’an. 2. If one starts to recite the Qur’an from a middle of Surah and not from it's beginning is it necessary to say ‘Bismillah’.. More

  • Doesn't want to share her husband in Paradise

    Can I remain as my husband’s only wife in paradise? I am living in a happy marriage with my husband who is good and faithful to me and he always tells me he desires no one else than me and will remain faithful for me in this life and in Paradise, Insha Allah. Is that possible? Or are the men of paradise "forced" to have many wives? I am also.. More

    In my native India there is a marriage custom like taking a coconut and tying it all around with a red thread.

Is there any Ahadith which confirms this? Or is it only a borrowing.. More

  • Dreaming of Jinn and receiving messages from them

    I have a question once again about Jinns, except this time it is a little more difficult for me then before.

  • Why People Do Evil While Satan Is Put In Chains During Ramadan

    My question is, if "Satan is put into chains" during the month of Ramadan then why still some people doing bad things such as Sihr (magic) on others? It happened to myself my brother and sister. I suspected that my sister in-law had used magic on us to disunite my family. I suffer from terrible cough; non-stop for 2 months while the doctor could not.. More

  • Fate of people who did not hear about Islam

    I have a question about people, who do not have any contact to the civilization and who do not know that there is a religion like Islam.

  • Do as suggested to get rid of this evil

    It started when I was in Pakistan about 8 years ago. I was sleeping and suddenly woke up, the problem was I could not move my body and could not speak but I was able to see and think and there was a strange sound (like feeble whistles going up and down) ringing in my head. It lasted for about 10-15 seconds and then it was gone. I didn't took it seriously.. More
