Women enjoying exclusive favours in Jannah

Q: I always got amazed when reading about Friday markets in Jannah and what happens there and it got me wanting to do good deeds to enter paradise. However, I read somewhere that only men go to Friday market and women don't. The description of Friday market is very amusing and wants everyone want to be there but I feel heartbroken that even if I make it to paradise I won't be able to get there purely because I am a female. Why don't women get a Friday market? If Friday markets are only for men, then what do women get?

Imaan is a precondition for Jannat

Q: If my non Muslim neighbour passed away and me as a Muslim assume that this person is going to jahannam forever and ever and ever. Then there is a hadith about a prostitute who gave a thirsty dog water to drink and she was granted entry into jannat. So is it right for me to think that the non Muslim neighbour is going to jahannam?

Watching cartoons that could risk one's imaan

Q: In the past, if a person watched videos of a cartoon called "The Simpsons" and the videos predicted the future and perhaps he was not sure if he ever believed them but he has an idea that at one point he rejected that. At one point he did think about the illuminati and devil worship and devils communicating with them. The person feared falling into Kufr, so is it Kufr?

Sunnah method of teaching the Quraan

Q: Is it a sunnah method of teaching the Quraan to hit the student when they do not know their work? I know Islam advocates hitting the child for missing salaah after 10 years and to spare the rod is to spoil the child, but is it the way of the sunnah and the Sahaabah to hit the student for making mistakes while learning the Quraan?

Celebrating thanksgiving

Q: My family plans on celebrating thanksgiving. I heard that it’s forbidden for a Muslim to prepare a turkey dinner on thanksgiving because this is an imitation of non-Muslims. It is confirmed in an authentic narration that whoever imitates a people is one of them.

If my family still plans on celebrating thanksgiving, should I avoid sitting with them? What must I do to not participate with them during this day?
