Can a Muslim be forgiven after committing shirk?
Q: My last question is can you please show me hadith where it says a Muslim has been/can be forgiven for Shirk, and also from Quranic verses, JazakAllah? Not for a Non-Muslim but for a Muslim.

Shirk
Q: There are many hadiths which speak about how the shirk that the Sahaba used to do before accepting Islam such as worshipping idols and their other sins have been forgiven once they accepted Islam and became Muslims. Obviously, anyone who was never a Muslim before will be forgiven no matter what did they did in the past once they become Muslims because they didn't know about Islam before. But are there any authentic hadiths which talk about a Muslim committing shirk and being forgiven by Allah even after being a Muslim. Are there any hadiths about a person who is a Muslim and leaves Islam by committing Shirk but Allah still forgives him. I don't think I came across any hadith that speaks about a Muslim being forgiven for shirk, only for non-muslims being forgiven for shirk once there Muslim. Can you give me an authentic hadith that say Allah forgives a Muslim who does shirk and also verses from the Quran if it says this? I'm specifically talking about a Muslim who does shirk and is forgiven, not a non-muslim who does shirk and is forgiven when he accepts Islam. Please give me any references that specifically says this.
Christians claiming that the Qur'an is changed
Q: I saw a Christian missionary website, where they claimed that Qur'an is changed now and they said in Hafs narration of Qur'an the verse meaning is that "And many a prophet fought (qatala) 3.146 and in Warsh narration the meaning is "And many a prophet was killed (qutila) 3.146. Please guide me on this.
Moulood
Q: My locality had a whole weekend (13-15/2/2015) program in celebration of the moulood of Rasulllah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). I am aware of the "over importance" given to this as it is considered an innovated matter in the religion but do you know why this weekend in particular? Also the speaker mentioned that he would rather want to be seen to support Hussain (Radiyallahu Anhu) than Yazid. Can you also explain/clarify if delaying the athaan and jamaat salaah for other religious activities like lectures and naats etc is permissible. Then the masjid was heavily "decorated" with banners and flowers. Is this permissible? The people are known as Sunnis. Please advise.
Superstitions
Q: Is combing hair at night not a good thing? Is looking at a glass at night a bad thing?
Going to dargaahs
Q: I am married for 6 years and I do not have children. My mother in law wants me to visit a dargaah and pray there. I have faith only in Allah. He knows better what is best for me. Should I go or not? I am undergoing IUI treatment. Can I continue this?
Objections of a non-Muslim
Q: If a non believer asks us why the Salaah of the morning is four rakaats while Zuhr is 10, how should we answer?
The kitaab "Raddul Muhtaar"
Q: Is Raddul Muhtaar a reliable book on the hanafi madhab. I heard in Arab countries they don't allow anyone to read Raddul Muhtaar as it contains a lot of unknown things.
Shiasim
Q: Please can you enlighten me on shiasim in Islam.
Book on the lifestyle of Hazrat Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)
Q: Please could you recommend a book (preferably one that can be accessed online, as I am away from home) that explains the method in which Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) carried out actions in every facet of his life. I would like to become familiar with it and Insha Allah adopt all Sunnah practices.
