Qur'an

Reciting Quraan while other passengers are listening to music when travelling

Q: I travel quite early to work and I travel with other people. I try to recite Quraan after fajr, that means I am travelling to work at that time. In my transport the people listen to music. I want to recite Quraan. Can I read even though there is music playing in the background? May Allah Ta'ala protect us.

Aayat of sajdah in Surah Naml

Q: The Sajdah in Surah Naml is normally made on completion of ayah 26 "Arsh il azeem" (as indicated in the Quraan shareef). According to fatwa hindiyya quoting Allamah Aini it says the sajdah must be made on completing ayah 25:9

وَالنَّمْلِ عِنْدَ قَوْلِهِ: {وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ} [النمل: 25]  

My question based on the above is if a person made the sajdah e tilawat in salaah after ayah 25 instead of ayah 26 will this be regarded as an extra added to the salaah thus requiring the imaam to make a sajdah e sahw or will it be counted as the sajdah e tilawat.

Maintaining family ties

Q: What is the meaning of the verse:“O Mankind! Fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer.”[Quran 4:1]

And “But those who break the covenant of Allah after contracting it and sever that which Allah has ordered to be joined and spread corruption on earth – for them is the curse, and they will have the worst abode.”[Quran 13: 25]

Which kinship is Allah Ta'ala talking about? Is it only my parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, siblings and first cousins?
