My father in-law is a Qaadiyaani

Q: I am Alhamdulillah married and my wife's father is a qaadiyani. However, I am not too sure what type of qaadiyaani he is. I know he does not believe in the fool Mirza being a prophet but I think he does believe in him being the Mehdi, even this I am not to sure about. If not then he just gives some standing to him. My mother in law is a sunni muslim, how they came about getting married is because they are 1st cousins so I don't think much attention was given, the family is not well linked with Ulamas etc. At first I was not too sure how deep my wife's father was in qaadiyaanism. Initially my thinking was because his siblings were all qadiyanis he had some weakness towards it and just said he is a qaadiyani because from what I know he practices Islam the sunni way and talks very highly of prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). But my mother in law came over (they live in Canada, I am in the UK) and I finally got the courage to ask her a few questions about my wife's father and from there I have become skeptical and now I am not too sure how deep his belief is. He does on occasions like Eid pray behind their Imaam but again it is because all his family are there. I was introduced to my wife so I don't know the family too well, however neither did my wife know her father had these type of beliefs as her mother always brought her up in sunni Islam.

Here are my questions:

  1. Is he a Kaafir?
  2. If my mother in law believes him to be a Muslim does she stay in the fold of Islaam?
  3. My In laws are very kind to me so what sort of relationship should I keep with them?
  4. Its difficult for me to ignore him out but I am beginning to feel some serious hatred if his belief is kufr, should I still go visit them in Canada?
  5. How should my wife's relationship be with her parents?

Supernatural acts

Q: I’m a 16 year old student from Northwood school and I have a few questions I am hoping you can help with.  

I’ve recently just finished reading the Qur’an and found it both an enlightening and thought provoking experience. I’d be interested to further learn about Islam though, so if you have any suggestions on how I should go about that, it would be greatly appreciated.

While researching Islam, I came across an interesting school of Sufi, Tariqa Casnazaniyyah. The followers of this group seem to be able to perform truly remarkable things, such as inserting metal rods through their cheeks without feeling any pain, without bleeding, without infection or, most amazingly, without suffering long term damage (it heals within hours or even minutes.) What is the mainstream Islamic point of view on such religious supernatural acts? Are there any practitioners of this school of Sufi in KwaZulu Natal, or in South Africa at all? 

It’d also be helpful to know where a non-Muslim could learn Arabic? Is the Mosque an option? I’m not sure when or if a non-Muslim is permitted to enter a Mosque. I never had the chance to go with my school as I am not an art student (they recently visited a Mosque, Temple and Cathedral for an art excursion.) What is the general protocol?

Why Muslims don't accept the Christian beliefs regarding Isa (Alayhis Salaam)

Q: 

  1. Why Muslims don’t believe that Jesus is the son of God?
  2. Why Muslims don’t believe that Jesus was more than a Prophet.
  3. Why Muslims don’t believe that Jesus died on the cross and died for our sins?
  4. Why Muslims don’t believe in trinity?
  5. Why Muslims don’t believe that Jesus is coming to judge the world?
