Stipulating the profits in proportion to the investment

Q: I have a question regarding an investment I made. I invested an amount with an owner of a clothing shop and it was pre agreed that I would receive a set amount of the profits on a monthly basis which I did for a few months. Recently the shop has been doing bad and the owner decided to sell it. Initially we verbally agreed that if for some reason the shop closed he would return the amount I originally invested to me. I am still waiting for my funds as we had not set a time frame. I would like to know if such an investment was permissible and whether the money I originally invested is still halaal for me to use (when I receive it)? I am asking as I am planning to use the money for Hajj insha-Allah one day and don’t want to be in doubt.

Dealing in gold

Q: There is a company that carries out gold trading. I will pay them some amount and they will open a gold account for me.

Meaning of Surah Baqarah, Aayah 285

Q: Please make clear that what Surah Baqrah, Aayah 285 says. The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, as did the believers. They all have believed in God, and His angels, and His scriptures, and His messengers: "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. Your forgiveness, our Lord. To you is the destiny.

This means that we can not make any distinction between prophets like prophet Muhammad saw is more better than others. And in Bukhari Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, "One should not say that I am better than Jonah (i.e. Yunus) bin Matta." So, he mentioned his father Matta. The Prophet mentioned the night of his Ascension and said, "The prophet Moses was brown, a tall person as if from the people of the tribe of Shanu'a. Jesus was a curly-haired man of moderate height." He also mentioned Malik, the gate-keeper of the (Hell) Fire, and Ad-Dajjal.
