Qur'an

Q: Kindly let me know if any Muffasir of the Quran mentioned that it was a Lion (and not a dog) that was present with the Ashaab-e-Kahf in Surah Kahf of the Quran.

Q: My question is, why doesnt the Holy Quran speak directly to women? The Holy Quran speaks directly to men in several cases but why doesnt it speak directly to women. I am a Muslim and do believe that Allah is the greatest, kind and just and in no way believe that He favoured men over women. Therefore, I do know there must be a reason for why Allah did not directly talk to women in the Holy Quran as with men. I also know that in that age more men could read than women but Allah created the Holy Quran until the end of time not just for that age.

Q: I heard a translation of the Quran in which it was being said 'nothing but guidance'. Does it mean all the various things mentioned in the Quran are the aspects of guidance?

Q: "Those who died in the path of Allah Ta'ala we should not call them dead, instead they are provided with their susbtence." I want to now the meaning of this aayah. I am totally confused. 

Q:

1. Can we recite the Quran without wudu when we know the surahs by heart, i.e. without touching the Quran?

2. If yes then does the same rule apply to surahs in which there is an aayat of sajdah?

3. Also, should we perform sajdah?

Q: After reciting any Quranic verses my body is reacting very awkwardly. It has never happened before. My head and upper body starts shaking and moving in a circular direction. The more I try to focus on the verses, the more badly my body shakes. I tried it once when I was outside the house, and at that time I almost felt breathless like air could not pass through my windpipe. I have been having weird kind off nightmares as well. I am really intrigued by why all this is happening to me. I really don't know what I am going through. When I don't recite any verses, I feel a bit okay but when I do, my head keeps shaking in a circular way.

Q: Please give me a word to word meaning of ayat no 26 of surah Aale Imran. One friend told me the meaning is one who wants Allah Ta'ala to give him respect

Q: What is the interpretation of the Verse of Light?

Q: Was Hazrat Ameer Muawiyah radhiyallahu anhu a scribe of Wahi?

Q: What are the rules regarding the Quran stand? From how high off the ground must it be for a person to be allowed to walk away from it without picking up the Quran. Where can I find clear information on this?
