Q: If a person claims to be in contact with the souls of Auliyaa Allah whom he can call to help and solve the problems of people. One day, if a person having who has marital problems has gone to that person to solve his problems so that he can lead a good married life. The first person claims that he can call the soul of a high Auliyaa Allah who can speak in 5 different languages and when he would enter his body and start conversing, the other person may start talking in any of the 5 languages and ask whatever question he wants to get any answer from the unseen.

The second person started believing the first person and when he went to the person, he started reciting a few duas to call the soul and after sometime, the person no longer knows what's happening and his eyes are closed and starts talking as if another person is talking. He claims to be Imaam Hussain (radhiyallahu anhu), the grandson of the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) who was made shaheed in karbala. He asked to the person what does he want to know. The person started talking directly to the "soul" about his problems and also asked him to make dua that he becomes rich one day. The soul said to him you will surely become but do you promise that you will give charity your whole life when you become same. He said yes. The person having the soul put his hand on the second person's forehead and started reciting dua and afterwards the soul vanished and the person regained consciousness. The second person started believing that he actually got opportunity to speak to soul of Imam Hussain (radhiyallahu anhu) and he also made dua.

Later when he asked some scholars, he came to know that there was no soul who could enter that person's body and in reality it was a Jinn who was lying. Has the person committed an act of kufr who has gone to seek help from that person and is it compulsory for him to renew his nikaah after he renewed his Imaan?

Q: I am a Muslim convert. I converted to Islam 1 and half months ago Alhamdullilah.

I have a question about reading the Quran. I want to make it my habit. I would like to do it in a way that is the most beneficial for me. I don't know Arabic, I read an English translation by Dr. Mustafa Khattab, so reading random surahs (as my friend recommended to me) doesn't work for me because I can't remember its content. It would be better for me to read it by topics, so I can focus on one topic at at a time and do notes, remember more.

Is there any particular order of topics I should follow? If not official, maybe then your personal? I'd like to go from things that are general, to laws and details etc. In my Quran there is an Index that I could use to look for exact ayas.
