Q: Is it sunnah to eat something sweet after meal?

Q: A local Aalim in our area said - " Married person will get more reward for all the Islamic activities like - Salaah, Dhikir, Going out in the path of Allah etc. than the unmarried person .... "

Is that true? Is there any references for that kind of Reward for Married person in Qur'an and Authentic or any Weak Hadiths? That Aalim gave a reference like - "whoever gets married, he/she completes the Half of Deen" ... Can this be a reference for the mentioned issue? What does it mean actually? Should a male/female get married soon to receive more rewards for his/her prayers? Or, it has no validity in Islam in the light of Qur'an and Hadiths?

Q: The following info has been taken from AL-GHUNYA LI TALIBEEN by Abdul Kadir Jeelani(r.a). There is a special salaat to be performed in the month of rajab, this salaat can be performed after maghrib or ishaa, this salatul haajat makes up a total of 30 rakaats, it is read in 3 stages: first 10 rakats are read between the 1st and 10th of rajab. The second 10 between 11th and 20th of rajab, and the last 10 between 21st and 30th of rajab. The niyyah is am reading 2 rakaat salatul haajah O Allah for the sake our master Mohammed Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam with the birth of whom you have illuminated the entire world and the for the sake of your auspicious month rajab grant me relieve from the troubles of this world and the hereafter. Its read in 2 rakaats each in both rakaat you should read allhamdu, 3x suratul kaafirun and 3x suratul ikhlaas, its better if its read on a friday or monday night. So i have read 20 rakaats in the first 20 days but now I have gotten my periods and by the time I'll be paak it will be Shaaban so is it ok if I read the remaining 10 rakaats in the month of Shaaban although in the niyyah it says shaaban?...Because I don't feel like leaving it incomplete.

Q: Please explain the concept of this hadith - Hadrat Anas Radi Allahu Taala Anhu reported that the Messenger of Allah Peace And Blessings Be Upon Him has said, “Everything has a heart, and the heart of the Qur’an is Yasin. Allah records anyone who recites Yasin as having recited the Qur’an ten times.” [Sunan Tirmidhi, Vol 2, Page 116 - Sunan Daarimi, Vol 2, Page 336]

What does reciting of Yaseen is equal to 10 Quran mean, what will be rewards of reciting the entire Quran which would also include Surah Yaseen? Is reciting Surah Yaseen superior to reciting Quran, please clarify?

Q: My uncle financially helped my father in buying a house in which we are currently living 32 years back without telling that he is giving loan to my father  He is living in uk  and in these 32 yrs also he never talked about this or about other money he gave to my father. Now after 3 yrs of my fathers death when we want to sell this property he is asking 50 percent of the money showing one letter inwhich my father has written to him that his name will also be in deed. But my father for the whole life told that this is his property and his brother has only helped him. 

What is sharaii ruling in this situation?

Does uncle shariatan has any right on this property?

We are ready to give if shariat says that he has right otherwise not and he is father has intentionally cut his name from the deed and so he can go to the court also. I know nothing about these things. I only that my father was not liar. What should I do?

Q: Letters which have similar sounds like: ذ , ز , ظ does mixing up between them nullify the salaah? Also ت , ط and also ث , س , ص and also د , ض and also ح , ه and also ا , ع also ق, ك does mixing up between these letters nullify the salaah? I read that there a different views, but what is view that is to be taken ? And what did the majority say?

Q: If in the row behind the imaam the person next to me wears a pigskin-leather jacket, and this jacket touches my clothes or my bare skin (as it will obviously do since we must stay close together in the row) during qiyam, ruku, sujud, tashahhud. Will this affect the validity of my Salaah? Does the validity matter if it touches my clothes or the bare skin? Am I considered the carrier of the jacket when it touches me?

Q: Can you please validate this hadith and let me know your thoughts on this hadith.

Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Abbaas narrates, Abu Yasir Bin Akhtab, his brother Hayy Bin Akhtab and Ka'b Bin Asharaf asked Rasoolullah Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam"to swear and tell us if the Alif Laam Meem has been revealed on you as is"? Our beloved Nabi Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam replied "yes". Hayy then said "if you are truthful then your Ummah will remain for a few years, so how can we accept this religion." They pointed out that according to the knowledge of numerical value it is obvious from the letters of Alif Laam Meem that this nation will be obliterated within 71 years. Hayy asked, "is there any other word like this."

The Beloved replied "yes, there is Alif Laam Meem Saad." Hayy said. "this value is 161 which is more than previous". Then he asked, "is there any more?" the Beloved replied "yes there is Alif Laam Raa." Hayy said "this is even more than first and the second, and we bear witness that your Ummah will only be dominant till 231 years." Then he said "is there anything else besides these?" The beloved Rasoolreplied "yes Alif Laam Meem Raa is also revealed on me." Hayy said, "we won't believe in you because we are not sure as to which one of your words we should believe." Then Abu Yasir spoke, "we bear evidence that our Prophets have informed us that this Ummah will rule but they did not tell us for how long, so if Muhammad is truthful in his statement then according to my understanding Alif Laam Meem, Alif Laam Meem Saad, Alif Laam Raa and Alif Laam Meem Raa all will be gathered for this Ummah." Then all the Jews got up and left by saying "your matter is doubtful to us." (Hashiya Saikh Zaazah Tafseer Bedawi, Vol 1, page 65)

Q: I found the below hadith in a spiritual healing book, the book did not mention any reference of this hadith, to create awareness through emails, blogs, forums, could you please provide me the reference of this hadith and its authenticity?

It is reported that Uthman ibn Affan, may Allah be pleased with him, requested further information about allahs injunctions of the keys of the treasures of heavens and the earth (mentioned several times in the quran).The Prophet(s.a.w.s) said to him:"You have inquired of me something which nobody has ever asked me before. the keys of the treasures of the heaven and earth are as follows":

la ilaha illa llahu wa llahu akbar,wa subhan allahi wal hamdu lillahi wastagfiru llah alladhi la ilaha illa hu wal awwalu wal akhiru waz zahiru wal batinu yuhyi wa yumitu wa huwa hayyan la yamutu, bi yadihil khayr wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadir.

There is none worthy of worship except Allah. Allah the Almighty is the greatest. Allah is the glorious and praiseworthy and I ask Allah for forgiveness. There is no power to do good and no strength to be saved from evil except with the grace of Allah. He is the first and the last. He is the apparent and the hidden . He is the Everliving Who never dies. He imparts and takes away life. There is blessing with Allah the Almighty. He is the ruler over everything. 

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) continued:"O Uthman! Whoever recites it one hundered times every day will be rewarded by ten graces.First all his previous sins will be forgiven. Second,his sufferings from hell fire will be written of. Third ,two angeles are appointed to guard him day and night from his sufferings and diseases. Fourth,he is granted a treasure of blessings. Fifth,he will reap as much blessings as someone who would have set free one hundered slaves from the offspring of the prophet ismail(a.s).Sixth, he would be rewarded of blessings asif he had read the entire Quran, the Psalms, the Torah, and the Bible. Seventh, a house will be constructed for him in the heaven. Eight,he will be married to a pious heavenly maiden.Ninth he will be honored with a crown of honor. Tenth, his recommendations( for forgiveness) of seventy of his relatives will be accepted.”
