Q: I am a non-Muslim trying to understand Islam more. Here are my questions:

1. With Islamophobia rising worldwide, there is a deeply ingrained perception that Islam as a religion is inherently violent. Is Islam violent?

2. Given the rise of groups like ISIS. In your perspective, how can we address Islamophobia in countries where non-Muslims and Muslims coexist?

3. Recently, wife-beating in Islam became a topic of discussion in the media. Do you agree that wife-beating is a good practice?

Q: I know the hadith that when rulers are tyrants we should look at our aamaal. So, does this imply that we are collectively accountable for the aamaal or even if we do aamaal at an individual level, Allahs support in terms of being saved from their evils, will come at an individual level or does it have to be at collective level? What are the implications of the hadith?

Q: Is it true that Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) never referred to hardships as 'museebat', but used to refer to them as trials from Allah?
