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?

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?
