Q: A christian asked me what do the Muslims believe about Hazrat Essa (Alayhis Salaam) when he returns to earth? She believes or has been told in the bible that Hazrat Essa (Alayhis Salaam) will return to earth get married to a beautiful lady and he will be the new ruler of this world. I replied that is incorrect. Yes, Hazrat Essa (Alayhis Salaaam), will return to this world, he will break the cross, kill the Dajjal. Please could you give me a better explanation. Though I do know as Muslim whatever we answer to these Christians they will never accept what we as Muslims know is the truth.

Q: I was wondering, according to ulema, was Adams creation instantaneous? I read someone saying this about his creation: Was Adam molded as a rigid, lifeless statue and then did Allah say "Be!" and the clay particles were transformed into a 100 trillion cells each with a nucleus containing 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes, or did Allah create him over eons of time in a manner somewhat akin to the transformation that each and every one of the 7 billion humans alive today went through? whether the fashioning of Adam from clay was literal and instantaneous or figurative and over eons of time is not clear to me.

Q: Could you explain to me the correct opinion regarding Yazeed bin Mu'aawiyah? I read the book "Revealing the True Facts of Yazeed ~ The Incident of KARBALA and the Events that Followed". I found it to be very beneficial, however I have heard that there is a weak narrator by the name of Abu Mikhnaf, who appears in some of the reports quoted in the book. Is this correct? 

Q: Mufti Saheb, I have heard that some of the narrations in the book "Revealing the True Facts of Yazeed ~ The Incident of KARBALA and the Events that Followed" are quoted through a weak, shia narrator, by the name of Abu Mikhnaf. Is this correct? If it is, then can we quote from such narrators? 

Q: Can we say Jesus for Isa (Alayhis Salaam)?

Q: I have questions about the Sahaba. 

1) Hazrat Abu Bakr has the highest status, followed by Hazrat Umar ibn Khattab. Who has the third position? Hazrat Usmaan or Hazrat Ali?

2)After the Khulafa-e-Rashideen, are the remaining six Ashra Mubashra the highest in status compared to the rest of Sahaba?

3) Some people, Nauzubillah, accuse Hazrat Usman bin Affaan of avoiding battles such as the Battle of Uhud, and accuse him of being a coward. Can you explain this matter please?
