Q: I have wronged many people in the past, most of whom I can't track down to fix what I did to them and seek their forgiveness. I have heard that Allah does not forgive the sins in which I have wronged others until they forgive me. I am really scared of the punishment of Allah, and I really regret everything I have done. After repenting for my sins, what should I do to make up for all those wrongs, and save myself from the punishment of those sins?
Q: I am the only child left from three siblings. 6 years ago my wife any myself made a decision to move from Cape Town to Gauteng along with our 3 kids. They are aged now 14, 8, 9. My dad passed on two weeks ago which is leaving my mom alone in Cape Town she is disable and not working. I want to know what does Almighty Allah and the Quran order me to do as my wife is refusing to move back to Cape Town and I want to move as I am not happy in Gauteng in any case. I want to move back to look after my mom. She needs me. In my view a wife is replaceable but my mom not. My wife and myself don’t have a “healthy” marriage in either case. Help me I do not know what to do I cannot sleep or concentrate nor do I eat. This is eating me up.
Q: Will I be cursed or saved from some difficulties in life if I can't forgive my mother? She already passed away several years ago but still I can't forget those times when she was alive that she never made me feel that she loved me, what I felt and feel right now is still HATRED from her, I'm even kind of happy when she passed away because she never made me happy, she always scolded me and more, I have 5 siblings and what she treat others is not the same on how she treated me. It's unfair for me and that's one of the reasons why I felt hatred for her. What I always heard about Islamic lectures is forgive your parents, love your parents especially your mother.
Q: I need to know what is the ruling regarding a man giving money to a female knowing fair well that she uses the money to practise sihr. There is evidence in which she has admitted it and the person has forwarded messages. Also this man is no longer married to this female but financially supports her but doesn't support his wife.
Q: If a woman brings her ill mother to her home as there is no one to look after her, but her husband is not pleased with that and mentally tortures her and gives her a very tough time. That woman gets angry on her mother and beats her. But later she realised and said sorry and felt very guilty. Is there any kuffara for that and if she really is guilty will Allah Ta'ala forgive her as she always asks forgiveness for her act and she is guilty by heart.
Q: I made plans a few months ago and told my parents that I would like to spend the last 10 days of Ramadan in South Africa with my teacher because he goes every Ramadan. They did not say much at the time. My mother is not allowing me to go. What should I do?

There was huge fight between dad and mom and So she left the house and went away. All these years I was living without her. But I recently got to know that she is Saudi Arabia. What should I do? Should I tell my dad or not because he hates her and the second thing is should I contact her? I am confused my heart says I should but I don't know what to say.
Q: My question is if a friend who is a relative also speaks wrong about me behind me and fights with me often on very petty issues and always tries to find a reason to show me down. Is it haraam to stop talking to such a person? I have cut the contacts with her because I can't take it every now and then. Please guide.
