Q: How do we cure depression? I pray five times a day. I am a religious type of person and I feel that Allah Paak is so close to me, but I always had depression. Can you please help me and tell me why this happens.

Q: Why are some animals suffering in this world? Some animals just live in the middle of sadness and pain and die a painful death. And finally they just become dust and disappear after death. I don't mean the animals that we slaughter by the law of Allah Ta'ala, or animals that are killed by other animals by law of nature which law Allah Ta'ala gave them. I mean those animals that are abused by heartless people.

For example, I often see some people throw stones at dogs, or some pet shop owner's kill unsold cats, or some cow herders hit their cows with a stick strongly, etc.

Will these animal's suffering pay off someday by Allah Ta'ala? If "Yes" then I would like to know when and how? 

Q: Is it okay to say Jazakallah and Wa iyyak to elders (e.g. ustaad, parents)?

Q:

1. Are cats paak?

2. Is it permissible to allow them around the house without bathing or washing them? Can we trust that the cats clean themselves and our house remains paak. I have cats and notice sometimes they do not immediately clean themselves after using the liter box so I’m unsure if they are making the house unclean. What do we do if we notice cat faeces anywhere in the house?

Q: Please explain how many kilometers are equal to 1 shar'ee meel (mile). It is mentioned in Beheshti Zewer under the ruling of tayammum. Generally in length; 1 mile = 1.6 km. Is there any diifernce between a shar'ee mile or and English mile? If yes please explain.
