Q: Why is it that whenever I listen to the Quran, the reciter always pauses at places where there is no sign of pause found in the Mushaf and they also go back to repeat it and finish the verse? How do you know when you can stop in the middle of a verse even if it doesn't have a sign of pause?

Q: I am a teacher who assists girls with the memorisation of the Glorious Quran Alhamdulilah. The problem that students face is their menstruation days at times exceeds to be 10 days. During these days I make them listen to their Dowr (revision), but once they start praying they have already forgotten a portion of their Hifz. This is a major obstacle that the students suffer who are undertaking Quran memorisation. Please state a solution for this. My colleague who is a Hafiza Masha Allah was able to obtain a fatwa of praying her Dowr (revision) during her Haidh. Your help is very much appreciated. May Allah Taalah reward you for all your efforts for Deen.

Q: My language is urdu. If I read the urdu translation of the Qur'an, is it still necessary for me to read it also in Arabic or is the urdu translation enough?
