Q: I want to know what will be the fate of the people who didn't get the message of Islam i.e. Sentinelese people or Otger Amazonean tribes? Will they be punished like other kaafirs? In which category do they belong to, Muslims or infidels/refuters of Allah and His Messengers? Kindly share the Islamic way of thinking about it.
Q: I bought a donut from Dunkin Donuts because I was hungry and it ended up being heart shaped because of Valentine’s Day. I do not celebrate Valentine days and did not know that it would be heart shaped. I was not sure if I should return the doughnut but did not want to waste food so I ate it. Did I commit kufr or a sin ?
Q: Is the following correct?
Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) had two journeys in his life: One was Isra wal Meraj to the heavens and the other Hijrah, Makkah to Madinah. In both journeys - he had a companion.
In Meraj - Jibraeel (alaihis salaam)
In Hijrah - Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu anhu)
In Meraj, there came a stage, when Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) said, "Ya Rasoolallah - from here you are on your own. If I put a step forward I will burn."
Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu anhu) *NEVER* left Rasoolullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Had Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu anhu) been with Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), he would have said... " Ya Rasoolallah - I am not staying back, I am with you - even if I burn".
As far as I learnt, angels can't go against the command of Allah. Does this show Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu anhu) to be better than Jibraeel (alaihis salaam)? Did Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) leave and abandon Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)?
Q: After relations with ones wife, if one intends to sleep without ghusl, the hadith mentions making wudhu. Is this classified as a sunnat?
Q: Allah has a form, we don’t know how it is but in a Hadith in Bukhari Shareef (7437), it says that Allah will first come to believers in one shape then in a different shape.
My question is, does Allah’s Being changes shapes? Please expain the Hadith.

Q: I would like to ask a question regarding the Yusuf Ali translation of the Quraan. I heard in a lecture that Yusuf Ali was unable to speak the Arabic language as well as the fact that they say his version is incorrect.
I also read the same facts online. Can I continue reading this version as I have always done so. Or could you advise me on what is the best translation of the Holy Quraan I could find.
