Q: I was reading salaah and just as I completed a thought occurred to me how people could claim to be God. I wondered how it was so easy for them to have uttered "I am God" while wondering I fear I might have subconsciously uttered those words due to lack of paying attention to my thoughts. I fear I might have committed a form of shirk unintentionally. I am panicking because I don't want to lose my Imaan. Please advise.
Q: I hope you are fine Insha Allah. My question is about my husband. I have three kids and Alhamdulilah 7 years of marriage. I am a muslim Alhamdulilah, my husband also belongs to muslim family. After marriage I have come to know that he doesn't like Islam. Whnever I talk related to islam he gets annoyed and says to me you can take divorce. My question is in this situation I have to leave my husband? I am also a mother of 3 small kids. I waited 7 years that Insha Allah Allah give him hadayat. According to Islam is thiss ok to live with that person who didn't respect Islam. I hope you will understand my question and waiting for your reply.

Q: I am a revert muslimah and have recently married a Muslim man. We have spoken on occasion and he has outlined what he would like in a wife. I would like clarification on a few of the things he has said:
1. As a wife I have to stay at home and make sure the house is clean and do all of the cooking etc and should not venture out of the house without my husband.
2. During a disagreement I am to remain silent and agree with my husband no matter how I feel.
3. I am not allowed to advise him if I feel what he is doing is wrong/haraam.
4. I am not allowed to ask for any money for bills/food etc.
5. I should not ask where he is if he is out late.
6. I should stay awake until my husband comes home and then wake early to clean and make his breakfast.
7. I should never make a complaint to him about anything, and lastly
8. I am to keep all my thoughts and feelings to myself.
I would really like clarification if what he's asking is typical of a Muslim wife and if I must follow these rules, if so I will do my best. And if these rules are not right is there any way I can speak to my husband about this? Should I remain quiet and suffer in silence to keep my husband happy?

Q: The problem with my mother is 13 years ago she was operated for left side breast cancer. She had undergone chemo 6 cycles and radiotherapy. Now since past 6 months she complained about the pain in her left side chest and drastic weight loss, the pain was excruciating and after multiple diagnosis and biopsy the Doctor's concluded that her breast cancer has re-occurred and spread to the lungs and part of the liver, there is no other symptom other than the pain, fatigue and weight loss. The allopathic Doctors have said that chemo would aggravate the situation and might make her bed ridden, moreover we are not in the favor of allopathic treatment as we have seen her suffering years ago. Hence we approached ayurvedic doctor and to add to my problem he mixed some medicines in cow's urine and prescribed to take on empty stomach. My mother never misses her prayer, recites quran, reads surah baqrah daily and I give her ruqya water on empty stomach. The fact that she has to drink the urine early morning is killing me though she does not know about anything of this. Kindly help. I don't want to go against Allah and his Rasool (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) and treat my mom. If there is shifa in it I would surely go ahead and give it to my mom. And how can Allah Ta'ala put shifa in such a filth. I have full faith in Allah and hence reluctant to go ahead with the medication.
Q: I want to know if it is wrong for the mother of a physically disabled 55 year old male resident in the UK to try to persuade a unknown divorced female with 18 month old daughter in Pakistan to come to the UK on a student visa with intention of marrying the disabled male and to leave her baby daughter behind and forget about her. I am worried that this is morally wrong. Lying about intentions to enter another country and to separate a young baby from her mother when it may or may not be possible for the male to fulfill the rights of a wife in the relationship of marriage. Further more instead of accepting the young baby and offering to care for her and raise her as a family member the mother has said they will never provide anything for her and if female wants her baby daughter to join her in the future she cannot. I am losing sleep over this matter and very concerned that this is very unfair treatment amounting to zulm. Please advise. As far as I know the mother just wants a 'free' housemaid and cleaner for herself and her son although Allah Ta'ala knows best. There is absolutely no need for the mother to worry about her or her disabled son being looked after in the future as she has three other children all married and independent who look after them.
Q: Is it permissible for a girl to make a non-mahram her friend? To talk to him, care for him and treat him like her brothers with no bad intentions or feelings?
