Q: My mother passed away and left a shariah will. I am one of the executors listed in her will. Since none if us have any experience on how to wind up an estate, please would you be able to provide a step by step guide as to what must be done in respect of an Islamic Will as well as the South African Law. We are hoping to do most of the work ourselves to keep legal costs low in sha Allah.

NB: We have her death certificate and will.

Q: I received a divorce letter four months ago in which my husband's signature is mentioned. Now my husband is saying that he did not sign those papers.

Q: Is wearing a skull cap mandatory whilst praying Salaah?

Q: Is the following correct?

Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) had two journeys in his life: One was Isra wal Meraj to the heavens and the other Hijrah, Makkah to Madinah. In both journeys - he had a companion.
In Meraj - Jibraeel (alaihis salaam)
In Hijrah - Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu anhu)

In Meraj, there came a stage, when Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) said, "Ya Rasoolallah - from here you are on your own. If I put a step forward I will burn."

Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu anhu) *NEVER* left Rasoolullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Had Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu anhu) been with Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), he would have said... " Ya Rasoolallah - I am not staying back, I am with you - even if I burn".

As far as I learnt, angels can't go against the command of Allah. Does this show Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu anhu) to be better than Jibraeel (alaihis salaam)? Did Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) leave and abandon Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)?
