Q: How does one love others (e.g. parents, siblings, friends etc) only for Allah Ta'ala?

Q: I am currently living with my parents and I have endured many difficulties during the past nineteen years of my life. My father is extremely verbally abusive to us I.e my mother and siblings and dawns all his anger on me. I try my best to be obedient to him and I can't recall when last I haven't obeyed his commands but he persists in lashing out on me and forcing me to do that which is haraam, he also never spends on us and we are often left  stranded and miserable. Can you please give me a method in which I may quell his anger or make him realise his actions unto us are wrong?

Q: My wife and I have not had a sexual relations for the past 13 months. Our reasons are many..

1. We could not do the act properly due to her weight or at least I felt so.
2. I met with a major accident in early last year and was disturbed for sometime, however there was no physical problem with me.
3. I was travelling on work and we were living separately off and on for duration of upto a month or a little more.

I was listening to the tarjuma of the Quran and came to know about the verse regarding ila. I did not know about this verse earlier and the time limit of 4 months mentioned in this verse. Though I have never told her that I will not have physical relations with her with the intention of ila, however I might have told her the same "I don't want to do it until you lose weight" when we would have had arguments. I did not know about ila, else I would have never uttered such words even in arguments. We have had our differences but we are trying to sort them out. In view of the above circumstances is our talaq confirmed as it has passed the 4 month period of ila? I do not want to separate and I have not told her regarding this yet. I am very disturbed.

Q: My brother does not have own house and is planning to buy one with the help of bank loan. Will he be entering into any sin by doing so?

Q: I want to make nikaah with a lady Inshallah and she has a 11 year old daughter, is it ok for me to marry her and her daughter to stay with us as well?

Q: I have a question which might seem a little odd but was hoping you could assist me. I have an account with First National Bank called a Young Professionals Account and the only way you can get this account is  if you are between the age of 18 and 30, earn more than a specific amount a month and have a professional degree (law, accounting, engineering, medicine etc), like a profession. I got the account a couple of years ago but started realising now that I don't have one of those professional degrees, although I do fill the other requirements of age and minimum salary. Mine is a Bcom IT Degree, just not a professional degree like the ones required for the account. They required a degree certificate which I handed to them and they did accept it at the branch I went to. I'm torn as to whether it is haraam for me to have this account and whatever I have spent and use in this account is wrong or forbidden. The degree certificate I handed to the branch was my own certificate showing a normal Bcom degree. Should I be worried about this? Do I need to change my account? What about all the things I have used the account for? Apologies for the odd question. I did know at the time that it wasn't one of those professional degrees but it didn't occur to me that it might be wrong. This account also has fees and and these fees are automatically taken from the account as well.
