2. As discussing worldly things in the Masjid is not allowed, so what about if someone put his visit cards of his business in the Musjid to get customers?

3. Does dua make and effect on our destiny. If something is written in our destiny, can dua can change it or not?

Writing "I will give you talaaq"

Q: I would like to know if talaaq given via sms is valid because I was very angry and upset and in so much of doubt and confused and I was influenced by my friend to do it and he told me to just do what he says. So being in that state of mind I was not thinking properly so I wrote "I will give you talaaq (islamic divorce) and sent it and after 2 days later he said must do the same send another sms and again 2 days later another. He didn't explain about talaaq to me and about the iddat period and the time to reconcile between each period. I got different answers because people say sms is not valid and if influenced by someone to do it then it is not valid. So I would appreciate if you could shed some light on this topic. We want to reconcile and work things out but not sure where we stand because there is a lot going on.
