Q: How many Covenants were made between Bani Israel and Allah?

Q:

1. I recited ‘saliheen’ with a bottom throat ‘ha’ and noticed during the middle of reciting it during the enlongation of the last syllable. During the elongation of ‘heen’, even after I realised, I still pronounced it with my lower throat. Is this considered intentionally reciting something wrong and did it invalidate my prayer?

2. During the du’a portion of Witr, I usually recite Rabbana Atina Fidunya 3 times. The second time I recited it, it felt like I had recited ‘Rabbana atina fidunya hasanatan wa qina adhabanar’ as opposed to the correct full invocation. Because of my uncertainty, can I assume my prayer is sound?

Q: I know the Holy Prophet was the follower of Hanif religion before prophethood. Is it correct that the Hanif religion was not corrupted before Islam and when Islam came, the Shariat of Hanif religion was abrogated? Also did the Holy Prophet knew of Hazrat Ibrahim AS before prophethood?

Q: Regarding the people of fatrah, it’s mentioned in the Quran that each nation was sent a prophet, so what about people of fatrah? Was belief in Risalat not needed for them?

Q: I am a reverted Muslim from Hinduism from India. One thing is confusing me, but I am not finding any suitable person to analyse the answer properly. So, I thought to ask online to know the answer from salafi scholars.

My question is regarding the attacking of non-muslim countries and other things. As per salafi explanation I have come to know that the ruler of the country either Muslim or non-muslim cannot be attacked as a citizen of that country. And also I heard that the common non-muslim people should not be attacked both at their worshipping temple and outside worshipping places.

So first question is - when the Muslim rulers attacked India and some of them destroyed temples of Hindu people, how much it is allowed according to Islam? I mean to say, does Islam allow to attack and destroy the worshipping places and idols of the non-muslims in public places? If it is so, then how it is logical to say that non-muslim govt. should be tolerated?

My second question is - if any non-muslim country is attacked, then slaves can be got from the fight. In this present situation of today's time, how much it is justified as muslim nation to attack any non-muslim nation, capture people and make them slaves? Is it necessary to make free people slaves? Actually this question I am asking, because Islam has not stopped slavery by the process of war. We know that slavery in Islam is not because of inspiring slavery, but to remove slavery from society fully from society in a gradual way. But sometimes I have faced this question that on the context of the present world, if any non-muslim country is attacked by any muslim country, then how much it will be justified to make the non-muslim educated captured people specially women as slaves?

My last question is, does islam permit a non-muslim to build his temple in public in any islamic country?

Q: My question is on the flu vaccination. Is it permissible for Muslims to have this vaccination, the flu jab or the nasal spray?

To my knowledge the both contain (porcine) pork gelatine which is haraam. But on the nhs it says religious group leaders such as Muslims say that the vaccine is acceptable. What is your opinion?

Q: What is the ruling for the one who was habitual of having pleasure with oneself by crossing legs but later made sincere tauba and qasam that person will not do it again? After a long time while the person was sleeping, the person felt that crossing legs like that person used to do long time ago then immediately the person wakes up and controlled that action. Does the qasam break since it wasnt done in unconscious state?

Q: I read this Hadith:

“O Allaah’s Messenger! Where was our Lord before He created the heavens and earth?” He (salallaahu `alaihi wasallam) responded: “He was above the [white] clouds – no air was under him, no air was above him, and He created His Throne upon the water.”

Is it correct that we don’t have to take the first part (He was above the (white) clouds) literally because attributing a direction to Allah is kufr?
