Q: Is it mentioned in the Quran that obeying the Messenger is obeying Allah? When I asked someone that who should we obey more, Allah or the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)? They said obeying The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is the same as obeying Allah. Does it mean that we should equally obey them, wound we fall into shirk as we are obeying someone equally to Allah?
Q: We know that angels are infallible, but what about the story of Haroot and Maroot, when they taught people magic, were they not sinning when teaching people magic?
Q: What is the difference between aqeedah and sunnah?
Q: I uttered words of kufr and shirk. If I say the shahadah and ask Allah to forgive me, is that enough?
Also, if an apostate returns to Islam, is he equal to the Muslim who never committed kufr?
Q: I am feeling down these past couple of days. I know loving a person more than Allah is shirk. How does one know that he loves Allah more than anyone else? When a person is far from religion and doesn’t remember Allah, does it mean he doesn’t love Allah?
Q: Is it correct that the only thing that’s common between the attributes of Allah is being Qadeem? Like when we say the words of Allah are perfect, but Allah himself is more perfect than any of his attributes?
Q: My husband is a taxi driver so he has a phone which the company gave him. When he turns on the phone, a job will come and then he goes to pick up the passengers.
Today he was praying magrib salaah and I was in the bathroom. I heard his work phone ringing. I came out of the bathroom straight away and tried to find the phone. Finally I found the phone and the job was rejected because nobody picked up the phone in time. After salaam my husband saw his job fone and then he told me that the job was cancelled. Then he said (idhar namaze per lo job kaya kerni ha saray kaam baraaber chahiya matlab wo mujhe suna rahe the because ma un ko aksar kehti hu namaaz parne ko un ho ne mujhe kaha ke phir mujhe kaha khair tumhara iss sa koi lana daina nahi ya tumhara iss sa koi talluq nahi he ju wo keh rahe the)
Q:
1. Unfortunately I fell into the habit of porn. I used to watch the videos in which the people said things that are very bad like “Jesus ***** Christ .” I did not like when they said that. I just watched for the porn. I made taubah and re-did shahaadah. Should I re-do my Hajj and Nikah?
2. I used to watch TV with superhero movies in which some of the heroes claimed to be "gods". I watched shows where they said things like “oh my God, in vain - is this haraam to say or hear? I made taubah and stopped watching TV. Should I redo my hajj and nikaah as I performed both of these prior.

Q: Recently in my family there has been an episode. My female cousin ran off with a non-Muslim girl and has not come back since. It has been a year now. She told us that she is a lesbian and we have to accept it. What do we do? Can we make dua for her? Is she still Muslim? She recently posted on the internet pictures of Hindu gods with a red string around her hand. What do we do?
