Q: I am 30 years old. I started offering Salaah on time at time. I want to make qadha for the past 23 years. How can I offer qadha of those Salaah?

Q: Please help me with a dilemma that I have encountered since my recent second marriage to a most amazing man with two children whom I love and treat as my own. I have encouraged the youngest child to start reading his salaah albeit one a day only. The problem is that they are caught up in strange rituals that I do not understand nor that I wish to be part of.

1. The many meeladhs that they conduct with salami being recited at the home of relatives.

2. The mother of the 2 boys has requested that they get green strings during the time of Muharram to wear on their wrists?

Should I be quiet and pray that Allah (Ta'ala) guides them if this is wrong? I feel as if this is going to cause my husband and I to become distant because of our differences. Please tell me what I should do. Jazakallah khair.

Q: A young man gets a car from his father. The car is registered on the father's name though. The father takes out insurance on the car against the young man's wishes. The young man meets in an accident costing 50 000 for the panel beaters. Now he has to claim from insurance since that's what the father had been paying for etc. Later, the cars window gets broken, the young man wants to pay for it with his own money to avoid getting involved in haram insurance, the father gets it repaired with insurance. Through this the young man had to become involved in the transaction because he had to take the car in, get quotes etc, because it's his car, would his involvement in this respect be sinful? What should he have done otherwise

Q: I know if a person's phone rings on loud during salaah, it is permissible to use one hand and switch the ringer off. If the phone rang very loud, and the person expects that it will ring again, someone mentioned that it will be permissible with one hand to take the phone slightly out the pocket, and look at the screen and press a couple things to switch it off (because today's phones can't be switched off without looking). Is this permissible?

Q: A brother is struggling with a job. I have always been favoured by Allah Ta'ala. As soon as I got married my rizk was granted and as my family grew so Allah Ta'ala increased my rizk. This is anecdotal evidence from my experience. Based on this can I encourage the brother to marry and in turn his rizk will be extended?

What is the sunnatullah (sunnah of Allah SWT)? Please explain.
