Having audio of the Quraan Majeed with its translation on a video reel
Q: Is it permissible to make a short video reel for Islamic dawah purposes in which a Quranic aayah is being recited in audio, while the complete English translation of that same aayah is displayed as static text on screen throughout the video? The full translation is visible all at once — it is not synced word by word with the recitation. The background is a nature video (flowers/sky). There is no music or nasheed — the recitation is the only audio. Is this format permissible, and does the viewer's inability to give full undivided attention to the recitation while also reading the translation affect the ruling?
Reciting Surah Waaqiah in the sunnah salaah after Maghrib
Q: If we make a habit of reciting Surah Waaqiah in the sunnah of Maghrib, would it be against the sunnah practice as our beloved Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was not doing it like this? Similarly, we have been informed of the mas'alah that it is not correct to fix a particular surah for a particular salaah, so by reciting Surah Waaqiah in the sunnah salaah, we will be fixing it. Is this correct?

Practicing on Dhaeef Ahaadith regarding virtuous deeds and actions
Q: Are daif hadeeth virtues of surahs and adhkar 100% guaranteed or one can hope that after doing them Allah will give them and can one just stick to sahih and hasan hadeeth like virtues of surahs baqarah and imran that whoever recites them they will intercede for him and hasan hadeeth like surah mulk.
There are some daif hadeeth like recitation of certain surahs in night like surah Yaseen, Dukhan, Rahman Waqiah and Hadeed, these three surah recitation anytime during day or night on day of qiyamah he will be called from the people of jannatul firdaus. If these daif hadeeth virtues aren't 100% guaranteed, can I stick to daily recitation of one juz and Musabihaat surahs before sleeping along with Surah Mulk and Surah Sajdah.
