Taking a vow

Q: A person vowed that if I never fall ill, then I will stop smoking. He hasn’t fallen ill still now but he has smoked many times. Does he have to offer expiation and if yes then does he have to offer only one expiation or for every time he broke the vow?

Sihr and black magic

Q: My friend who is been forcefully married to a man whom she does not want to get married is suffering a lot of problems from day 1. She could not adjust with him. So her husband forced her and made her pregnant. In her pregnancy also she had to face lot of health issues and ended up in abortion. Her family is quite superstitious and went to a man who is claimed to be a thangal (sayyid) and told him the problems. And surprisingly that person is telling many other things related to their family like her mother is having waswas (whispering of shaytan) and about their business and those are true. And he told that a person from Hindu religion has done sihr on them and they had to believe. And recently they found some petals of a flower, black string and egg written something related to Hindu religion on it were found from their old office. That sayyid recommended them to recite certain surahs like Al Saffath, Al jinn and also told them to handover their business to someone who is not from their blood relation. He also recommended them to shift their place for sometime till everything becomes calm. What it is all about? I need to show my friend and her family the right path. Can you help me with this?

Basis for accepting a proposal

Q: I need help because I am in very big trouble and I'm going through a very difficult situation.

My parents have been searching for a good match for me. Since the last two years many proposals came but some were rejected. I have always dreamed of a perfect guy. I know I am wrong in this regard. I rejected many becuse I always compare people with others who are spending a perfect life. Another proposal came and my elders liked him as they are way worried of my future life. But he is not educated to my level although he is lucky to have a stable job. But he is not good looking, educated, like my previous rishtas. I don’t even know much of his family history. Just know that he is good Muslim with better character. I am constantly comparing him with prior proposals and pondering over my mistake. I am so guilty. My parents want me to marry him but i still dont. I cant say no to my parents now cause they are forcing me and worried as well. am I also afraid of Allah punishment. Plz help me out what should I do? My heart and mind is not preparing for it since i have tried a lot. 

Sajda-e-shukr

Benefits of Sajdatul Shukr

Sajdatul Shukr is like a treasure in this world and al ākhira. This information is worth gold, the benefits of doing Sajdatul Shukr. Most of us miss these benefits and we don't know how much it's worth. When we (as slaves of Allah) do Sajdatul Shukr, Allah opens the hijaab between us and the Angels . He says to the Angels, look at my slave, he did his fardh and obeyed my teachings and he did Sujuud to thank Me for what I've blessed him with. Oh My Angels what should he get? The Angels will reply, Ya Rabana give him Your mercy. Then Allah will ask again, and what else? The Angels will reply, Ya Rabana give him Your heaven. Then Allah will ask again, and what else? The Angels will reply, Ya Rabana make his worries end. Then Allah Taala will ask what else? Everytime Allah asks n what else, the Angels will reply, something good to be given or be done to the person who does Sajdatul Shukr. Lastly the Angels will reply, Ya Rabana we have no knowledge. Then Allah will say, ' I'll thank him the way he thanked Me, I'll give him My favour and show him My mercy'. What harm do we get if we do Sajdatul Shukr everyday? It's just a sajda and not a salaat and it's best when a person is clean, having țahara. Also it's best if you face alqibla. Anyone who gets a blessing, or something has been renewed or lost something he owns, it's best for him to do Sajdatul Shukr. You can do it with or without wudu'; you can face alqibla or not. But it's best with wudu' and facing the alqibla. I advice you to do Sajdatul Shukr after every salaat and say ' Shukr Lillah' 3 times or 'Alhamdulillah' 3 times. I advice you not to let this chance get away from you. Pls share with all your contacts; everytime they do this sujda you'll get reward (ajir). Even after you've died it'll be sadaqatul jariya. O Allah, make it sadaqatul jariya for me, my parents, my family, all those who'll share it and all Muslims.
