Advice

Q: Is being childless a punishment from Allah? Am I childless because Allah is angry with me? Is it my fault that I am childless?

Q: I really need advice on what to do. I have a partner whom I love very much. We have a child together who is 7 years old but my problem is my partner never married me because he is married to someone and it was an arranged marriage they also have kids together, but his wife does not know about me and my son neither does his mother know. Years ago his mom came to know and separated us but he always came back. I cannot be with anyone else because I love this man and I have given him myself completely. But I also want too do things the right way because I believe Allah Ta'ala will want the same but he is so scared to tell his family about me and my son and to make things right. How long can I live with this of not being married to him because it's haraam and I just want things to be right. He does everything for me and our son and he does truly love us but how can we make this any better?

Q: I am a revert for five months now and I am currently doing my last year in media studies? I would like to take up Islamic studies but I am the only Muslim in my family and I fear that my parents will not support my decision. How can I handle this situation?

Q: I'm 25 years old, unmarried by birth. I am a Muslim and I was not practising till last month and now I got fear of Allah. I started praying and reading Qur'an everyday. I need help on this. I met a girl on social media 6 months ago. We chatted only online. She is Christian and her profession is sexworker (prostitution) and we started loving each other. She stopped working (prostitution) because of me. Does Islam allow me to marry her. Now I'm fearing about Allah more.

Q: I need advice. I am currently a student and I have a friend who lives in Dubai.

Please I need your advice on what to do so that Allah will show the right channel to this problem.

Q: I agreed with someone more than once that I will cook something for him as he helped me study. Now I don't really talk to boys. Will it be right for me to cook for him as I gave him my word and it is really important in our religion or should I avoid it?

Q: There is a person on the internet, who seems to be a Muslim yet makes fun of people about things which are a part of Islam (e.g. The ruling on eyebrows, he thinks that these things aren't a part of Islam). Is it permissible to use harsh words to stop this guy.

Q: I am tired of all. I ask dua but they were never get answered. For the past 3 years nothing was answered. But I never lost hope. I ask again but nothing happened. So nowadays my Imaan is becoming worst. Does Allah love me? Because my duas never get accepted. Those who never do any amal, they are living happily. My life is getting worst day by day. Allah said in Quran "For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease." I believe these words. But it never happened in the last 3 years!

Q: My wife has left me to live with her boyfriend but we still talk and I still love her. Should I give her a divorce or try and get back with her?

Q: My question is related to the relation of mine with my father as it is getting worse day by day. I am 22 years old. We belong to a middle class family and about 4 years ago we bought internet connection. My father is 56 years old now and when we bought the internet connection I was 18 and my father was 52. One day I saw my father watching porn on the internet and for me it was so heart breaking that I got shocked with the kind of mentality my father has. For some time I stayed silent that he might change his habits and for that I gave him some signals that I am aware of what he is doing when alone and at that time my sisters age was 12 years. I was more concerned that she might see him doing all this stuff and just few days later I saw my father was busy watching porn while my sister was standing behind him. On that particular day I broke my silence and told my mom about the whole incident. She talked to him and my father rejected my allegations upon him. This thing continued for about one year and he was losing his respect in my eyes. Last year we connected our tv set to cable and now he just watches tv, some movies and songs with bad dance. I dont like this also but I am silent as it is somehow better than what he was used to do. What I want to say is that he is stubborn and I do not respect him the same way like I used to or you can say that he has lost his respect. Our tv set is in front of my bed and I dont want him to sit on my bed when I am around, not because I do not respect him but because he used to sit in front of tv every time when he is free and for hours and I want my space on my bed because our house is small.

My question is that what should I do according to Islam and can I respect him or change him? Also, he has the habit of talking in loud voice and we hardly talk to eachother daily as my other relatives talk to their fathers.
