Q: I'm born Muslim but never practised. I knew haram from halal but it meant nothing to me, which I really regret a lot now. My question is: I used to work as a flight attendant/cabin crew in a airline before, I used to have some flights where we served alcohol. "I quit a year ago" and started to searching for a halaal job and now I have a job, got married and some how make ends meet by the grace of Allah. Now when I need money for the rent and stuff out of the blue, after one whole year, I got a cheque from the same company for my final due payment. The cheque is pretty sweet but I don't know if its a blessing from Allah or a test. I'm going crazy behind this, and to top it up, I got to explain all this to my wife. please tell me what to do?

PS: The cheque is in two half's one part is where I served alcohol and the other where I did not. The benefits are combined though.

Q: What dua should I read to conceive my third child?

Q: I would like my husband to pay more attention to his kids than his nieces. He treats them better than his own kids and I feel as if we cannot do anything as a family as they are with us every where. Sometimes I would like to do things as a family but this hardly ever happens.
Their parents hardly bother with our kids so it upsets me when my husband treats their daughters as our own, but he does not see this and wants them including in every aspect of our life. Many times he has left our kids at home and taken their daughters instead which really annoys me. Please is there any dua I can read which will make him pay attention to his kids and distance himself from nieces. I do not mean this in a horrible way but I would like us to do things as a family for once.

Q: I am working in a warehouse. There are two cats here. I took care of them when they were 2 days now they are at 6 months. They play with me and jump on me. I just wanted to know that I have only one uniform at the same time in that uniform can I offer prayer?

Q: If you want to repent for major sins you, do you need to pray salaah to get your repentance accepted or without salaah you repentance will get accepted?

Q: My question is I recently had my ketb ktab my families and my wifes family were present. It was recorded and placed on Facebook for all to know.  Does this count as a valid announcement? We are still planning on having a wedding celebration in a few months. But I am told I can't sleep with my wife unless I have a proper public announcement. Please clarify or confirm that the facebook announcment and my families and my wife and I telling others about our marriage is valid enough?
