Q: How can we repent if we said bad words to our parents? 

Q: My parents have been together for over 20 years but have had marriage issues for a very long time. Constantly fighting and arguing. Most of the time they do not speak to each other at all and my father has left the house three times but has come back. My parents even did their nikaah a second time the last time my father came back, for fear that their nikaah had become void by their separation. Now my father has come back again, but my parents have not spoken to each other at all for nearly 2 years. They do not say salaam to each other or even look at each other, let alone speaking to each other. We have tried mending their relationship numerous times, getting the elders involved, etc, but in the end they continue to fight and argue and it never works. The only reason they are staying together is because of us. Three of us are older and understand all this, but my youngest sister is 6 and my parents don't want to divorce for the sake of their children. However my mother is extremely worried that because of the way their marriage conditions are, their nikaah is not valid and it is haraam for them to live together. So taking into consideration all that I have said, and the fact my parents have not spoke to each other or had relations for nearly 2 years, is their nikaah now invalid and is it haraam for them to live together? My father has not actually divorced my mother by saying it verbally.

Q: My fiance and I were suppose to get married this month but he lost his job so he cancelled the wedding and now he is reading isthikara Salaah to see if we should get married after being with me for almost 3 years and I'm so scared and worried about a negative answer because I'm already in love with him. Please give me some advice as to whether it's right to read it when we came so far and so close to getting married. I am so worried I feel sick. When I first met him I read isthikara and dreamt of his mum giving me a gift and now he dreamt of a black cloth. I'm so worried really. Please give me some advice.

Q: I have a question about jinn possession. Someone in my family is, I think possessed by a jinn. He has be showing the symptoms of jinn possession and I don't know what to do. I am his younger brother 16 years old and he is in his late 20s. He doesn't listen to dad and has arguments with him about Qur'an and Allah Ta'ala. Now he usually just stays in his room all day, sleeps, doesn't go to work, stares at things for periods at a time, and has bad mood swings. Please if there is any advice on what to do.

Q: I listen to Islamic lectures, 6 points and talks all the time and I always forget what they say almost instantly but afterwards if someone talks about a section from it I am able to easily recall it most of the time. But sometimes when I am in Jamat/Tableegh/Path of Allah, and I become appointed to give a bayaan/ talk on 6 points or something I can barely recall or access anything in my memory even though I have so much knowledge about it somewhere in my memory. What should I do?

Q: From the past few nights, I hear azaan in the water sounds and sometime sudden azaan sound strikes my ears. Why is it so?

Q: I have been married for a year and a half now. The problem is my husband refuses to pray. He used to pray all his five prayers at the beginning, but I don't know what happened. I have tried everything to convince him to pray, but he just wouldn't. I make dua for him everyday, and I don't want to lose hope. We have a son now, and I want him to be a good example for my son. Please advise.

Q: Myself and my husband were leaving to go on a trip. I told my husband I'm going to perform salaah before we leave and went. He after about 10 minutes I'm not sure could be less or more started calling me. I did not reply as I was praying salaah, and he knows I don't reply when I'm making salaah. When I was done I went to him and he said to me "stop wasting time" and I should pack away what was laying in the kitchen. The thing is he knew I was praying salaah and he said stop wasting time. What is the ruling on such a situation?

Q: My father is doing milk business. He does adulteration in milk by adding water. I tried to stop him in a calm manner but he kept on doing adulteration and now I fought with him and started yelling to him regarding this wrong act. Am I doing wrong because I tried the other way but he doesn't listen. What should I do? Islam says don't raise voice against your parents but what if they are doing wrong?

Q: Is it sufficient if a person asks forgiveness to Allah only for zina, or should he also make amends to the person with whom he committed the act?
