Q: I am going to marry a certain boy. Kindly check and advise if it is good for me or not.

Q: I am very confused when it comes to sects in Islam (e.g. Shia, Sunni, Wahhabi). I live in UK and I see a lot of sects in Muslims here. Myself I belong from Sunni/Sufi background. I like to call myself just a Muslim and try to avoid sects. However, when I try to improve my knowledge of Deen, I get confused by the different opinions. Most of the opinions make sense to me as the scholars from every sect tend to come up with valid evidence. After looking at a YouTube clip of Dr Zakir Naik I got even more confused. He says that Quran is against sects (giving reference to the Quran chapter 6 verse 159- "Indeed, those who have divided their religion and become sects - you, [O Muhammad], are not [associated] with them in anything. Their affair is only [left] to Allah; then He will inform them about what they used to do.”) Now my question is if the Quran doesn’t allow sects. Does that mean everyone who calls themselves Sunni Shia Wahhabi is not following the Quran? And if that’s true, then what is the best way to educate myself?

Q: The Salafi sect considers Ibn Taymiyyah as their leader.We, the Sunni Hanafi Deobandis obviously disagree with Ibn Taymiyyah on many issues. However, I have read that some of our elders considered Ibn Taymiyyah to be a Mujtahid in his own right. If I am not wrong, even Hazrat Thaanwi has written this. Is this correct that Ibn Taymiyyah was a Mujtahid and hence exempted from Taqleed of any of the four madhabs?

Q: Can we call Allah in our language as God or Creator?

Q: If a person utters the following statement, does it constitute shirk? A person says 'The food was divine'. Is it shirk to refer to food as divine?

Q: Why do some Muslims fold the corner of their jay namaz after performing Salaah, is it permissible to do so?

Q: What does emulating the kuffaar mean? Is it only confined to clothing or does it also relate to other aspects of one's life? We see the kuffaar driving cars and eating and drinking in plates and cups and we Muslims also do the same. Is this not also emulating the kuffaar in our actions?

Q: Is Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasllam) alive or dead? I have been discussing with my friends at work about Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) being alive or dead, some say he is dead and some say he is alive. Please can you clear this up for me?
