Q: Our Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) split the moon. Why now is the moon splitting us? Is it a warning from Allah or is it that such splits are a normal part of our deen?

Q:

1. As we know, in comparison to all world views and the other Abrahamic religions, we are the Ummatan Wasataa. Jews have strict laws (kosher) but little Ilm, belief and theology whereas Christianity is mainly belief and theology but very little law. According to Islam, did Christianity originally have laws, halaal and haraam and/or is this modern day Christianity wrong and changed in the sense that they claim that all is needed is the belief in Jesus as the lord and saviour?

2. Out of all the faiths and beliefs, including Abrahamic faiths, Judaism is the most closest to Islam. If their theology, belief and creed is most similar to ours (Islam), why is it that they will suffer a more harsh and severe punishment in Jahannum?

Q:

1. How should one dispose of novels, like romance and horror stories, 'Harry Potter' etc.?

2. How should one dispose of magazines like 'National Geographic' that contain many images of animate objects like animals? I am unsure if it is necessary to burn these types of literature, or if tearing and throwing them away is sufficient.

Q: If one is fasting a Qadha of Ramadhan (due to haidh) will any ibaadat done during the Qadha fast have the same reward of ibaadat in Ramadhan?

Q:

1. A student has strong talluq with an ustaadh which does not show during lessons. If out of class other students feel as if this talluq is a problem what should be done?

3. When a student realises that an Ustadh has made a mistake whilst teaching should he do anything?

Q: Is it permissible to eat the food which is given in fatiha. Is fatiha permissible in Islam? If we receive such food then what is the hukum for the food?

Q: I follow the concept of the Tablighi Jamaat but people say that Ahle Hadith is the only correct sect while some say that Dawat e Islami and some Ahle Sunnat wal Jamaat, what should I do?

Q: Is it permissible to recite the following as a Wazifa directly calling on Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam without believing him to be hazir nazir: 'Ya  Muhammad, Ya Mansoor ,   Ummatak Ummatak '  in order to gain the  Messenger of Allah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam's spiritual  attention and tawajjuh. Is there any precedent amongst our akabireen of having done the same or similar and  what of someone who has done the above but not believing Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam to be hazir nazir?

Q: I am adamant that I want to become a magician, but magic is haraam in Islam. What should I do?
