Q: It is permissible to listen to Qur'an tarjuma or tafseer on mobile phone without wudhu?

Q: I have a white friend or client. He told me another white friend of his, told him that in our Quran it is stated that other religions are classed as infidels. I replied infidels are people who don't believe in God. People of the faith Christians and Jews believe in God and they are not classed as infidels. Am I correct?

Q: What does jihaad mean in the Qur'an? Qitaal or struggle in the way of Allah.

Q: Why does the Quran rhythm and topic change in the same Surah? For example in shurah Alkawsar the first aayah is about abundance, the second is about prayer and sacrifice and the third is about posterity.

Q: Please make clear that what Surah Baqrah, Aayah 285 says. The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, as did the believers. They all have believed in God, and His angels, and His scriptures, and His messengers: "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. Your forgiveness, our Lord. To you is the destiny.

This means that we can not make any distinction between prophets like prophet Muhammad saw is more better than others. And in Bukhari Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, "One should not say that I am better than Jonah (i.e. Yunus) bin Matta." So, he mentioned his father Matta. The Prophet mentioned the night of his Ascension and said, "The prophet Moses was brown, a tall person as if from the people of the tribe of Shanu'a. Jesus was a curly-haired man of moderate height." He also mentioned Malik, the gate-keeper of the (Hell) Fire, and Ad-Dajjal.

Q: Allah Ta'ala says in the Holy Qur'an "And few of My servants are grateful." (Quran 34:13). In this Aayat when Allah Ta'ala speaks of  "servants", which servants are Allah Ta'ala referring to; the believers (i.e. few amongst the believers are grateful) or the believers and non-believers (i.e. all among them are ungrateful except few)?

Q: Alhamdulillah Allah Ta'ala gives me toufeeq to pray 5 times a day. To please him is always my first concern. This is mentioned in the Quraan that bad men are for bad women and good men are for good women. No doubt the Qur'an is true. There are many couples where the lady is pious but the husband is characterless and vice versa. Please explain to me in detail.

Q: My question is regarding verse 10:94 in the holy Quran which has been questioning my Imaan and creating major doubts in my mind. The verse is within surah Yunus and as follows. Via th http://quran.com/10/94. Is it trying to imply that Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) had doubts? Please help me it is really confusing. And that we should go read the bible and torah as they are the true messages of God?

Q: This is just a small enquiry to help me to understand something a little better. The number of times that Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) received revelation from Hazrat Jibraeel (Alayhis Salaam). I have read that it is as many as 23000 times? Does this figure sound correct (I could be remembering incorrectly or maybe there was a typing mistake in what I read). The reason I wonder whether this figure is correct, is because the Qur'an has almost 6300 ayats, and some surahs were revealed at all at once, but there were also times that only a part of an ayat was revealed, so I thought (probably mistakenly) that a figure around 6300 would be more correct. If possible, please kindly explain if 23000 is correct.
