Hoors in Jannah

Q: Will a woman get a pure man in jannah, just as men get women that have not been touched. I mean women control their sexual desires as
well and they obey Allah(swt) as well. And it is one of the greatest desire of a woman to have a husband who only loves her. So wouldn't it be more fair if she is granted what she desires?

The word Lord

Q: In Dutch language the title prenoun for a man is: ''meneer'' which is derrived from ''mijnheer''. The english word for this is: mister, sir, literally ''mijn heer'' means ''my lord''. Is using such words shirk?

Q: What is the Islamic ruling regarding cartoons or films which portray stories of the Ambiyaa (alaihimus salaam) or the Sahaabah (radiyallahu anhum)? In today’s times, these types of films are available in the market and are widespread on the internet and people regard them to be educational.

Science and the theory of evolution

Q: I am a student and I just need to enquire about some things. I don't believe in evolution, but there is a lot of science and fossils like Mrs Ples and the Taung child as well as the Stone Age and Bronze Age and also all the tools and weapons that the apparent "early humans" used. I know we do not come from monkeys but all this science? Also , where were the Prophets during this supposed time of the Bronze and Stone Age? In what era according to the Gregorian calendar did the Prophets live?

Bathing in the state of haidh

Q: The women in our area have this notion that during haidh nifaas they are not allowed to do ghusl with water, moreover they are not allowed to bath during these periods. They say that if they do so they will become ill. Also they do not drink cold water. I understand that bathing and doing ghusl will not not get rid of impurity during these periods but is it true that they are not allowed to use water to clean private parts and/or bath. Please expand on  this topic maybe highlighting the shariah and hikmat perspectives on this issue. Jazakallah
