Q: We are making khatamul Quraan every month in a group. Each person recites one juz, and the following month he will recite the next juz and so on. We do not consider it to be sunnah, rather we are doing it just to engage family and friends in reading Quraan. Is it permissible?

Q: Suratul Ikhlaas! A man was walking and he saw this written on a wall: 'Qul huwa Allaahu ahad, Allahus Samad, Lam yalid WA lam youlad, Wa lam yakoul lahu koufuwan ahad.' So he sat and read it, while he was reading it a man was watching him and Came to him and said 'Do you know that you have got at least 470 hasanas (Blessings) just for reading this! The person who wrote this on the wall also got 470 hasanas; Even you (who is reading this mail) have 470 hasanas. And you don't even realised that you've read 1/3 of Quran, so press forward and let more people get 470 hasanas, and 1/3 of Quran. Don't forget, each time someone reads this mail and gets hasanat so do you. When there is only a single star left in the sky. At that very moment, the path of forgiveness will close. The writing in the Qur'an will vanish. The sun will lower itself with the earth. Prophet Muhammad SAW said, 'Who ever delivers this news to someone else, I will on the Day of Judgment make for him a place in Jannat.' Please pass this to every Muslim u know, if each muslim says Astaghfirullah wa atubu ilaih 3 times now and forward, in a few seconds billions will have said it and it may calm Allah's anger You've got nothing to loose so pass on. Jazakallah. Is the above authentic?
Q: I was born in Jeddah. I have been living in Riyadh for almost 13 years. A little while ago, my family and I decided to visit Medinah, then after 13 days of visiting Medinah, we would visit Makkah.

The question is, during this period of time, so we have to offer Qassr prayer or normal 4 rakahs of prayer?
