Q: My question is about a random salafi brother that came up to me after Salah and he is like you should not have stood alone at the back your Salah is not accepted. I believe its Makrooh to stand alone in a Saaf. There was no space and later someone joined as well. I just wanted dalil for my self not for anyone else. I got very irritated because I could see he was just bringing up issue after issue. Allhumdulilah I read your fatwas everyday, he went on after that talking about where we place our hands and he was like Walahi the hadith is daaif about Ali Radhiallahu anho. I was so shocked he was taking Qasam on everything. I have read proofs from your website about the hands. My main concern is my intention. I am going to be starting Alim course soon. Could you explain the type of intention I should have when studying and coming across people like this. I know everything is for the sake of Allah. But I felt very angry towards this person more then anything and I had this feeling which was from shaitaab to prove him wrong.

Q: 

1. I am 28 years old. My first question is in regard to my health as I always have some problem or the other following me. I have stomach problems from quite a long time now and I still have that but its better Alhamdulillah as compared to previous days and from past year or so I am having problem with my right ear as I always have a disturbing sound like a beep or ringing sound present every time. Allah has given me hidayat and I always make dua and do istighfaar for my bad deeds which I have done in my past. So I request you to please guide me on this if their is any dua for treating it from the verses of the Qur'an for both stomach and ear problem and also do tell me what should I pray to Allah for seeking forgiveness?
2. From the past two days I am having bad dreams. On the first day I saw that my uncles son has expired he is very young around 12 or 13 years old and followed by another other dream in which I saw that my mothers cousin's son has expired but they are well Alhamdulillah in real. And next day I saw that my school friends mother has expired and I have went to meet him I hugged him and he started crying. So I wanted to know the tabeer of this.

Q: My cousin was having problems of not having a job. So he did zikr 300 time astagfar,7 times aayatul kursi, 7 surah fatiha. For 3 days my cousin did this wazifa then at night before fajar he saw a dream that there is a field and sand is full of fragrance and there is full white roses and he went to take a white rose from the roses at the back. A snake came out and he went back. Then again he went to another to take a white rose then again a black snake bit and he went and then he went to another rose where there are more colours of roses too and he took a white rose. This time there was no black snake. He had this dream before fajr.
