Stopping at the nearest rukoo of a quarter when reciting Quraan
Q: I'm in a habit of reading ruba (quarter) para daily. One alima told me that if there's no ruku sign at the ruba (quarter), then I must not stop at the ruba (quarter), instead I should continue till the point where the ruku sign is. I wanted to inquire if it is so?

Q: As we recite the Holy Quraan and we see in Surat e Luqman that some kind of knowledge is with Allah and no one knows about that. For example when will it rain and what is inside of the women, either male or female and when and where will the person die. So nowadays we see the technology that every one knows that what is inside a female's abdomen. So is there controversial that the new tafseer will change from the old one and what answer will we give to non muslims when we explain these ayaats.
The qur'an describing the earth to be flat
Q: Allah Ta'ala says in the Quraan that the earth is flat and Zul Qarnain saw the sun that it rises from dust or any thing else. But it is scientifically proven that earth is a globe or like a ball and the sun is in the sky not on earth. So how will we satisfy the non-Muslims?
