Q: I am a lecturer/ tutor by profession. A lecturer asked to use my lecture theatre time for something. I did not understand or listen to her properly what she wanted to use the lecturer theatre for. Without listening properly I allowed her. Later on, i realised it was for Holi celebration and Easter celebration. Have i committed a sin? What do i do to ask forigiveness from Allah on this? But then again, it was not entirely on me allowing it or no because that lecturer threate is owned by my employer but I was only scheduled to take a class during that time.

Q: I'm not sure if you are aware of the recent epidemic of christian healers that's infecting our community like the plague. Christians seem to use the possibility of their mislead leaders healing people, claiming to be annointed by god(though they haven't a clue about who or what god is), as a defence to our statements about the authenticity of Islam and the quran. My question is what should our answer be when they challenge us boasting the capability of their leaders? How is it possible that their leaders do such things? What does the Quran say about this?
