Bad luck and misfortune in Islam

Q: Some friend of mine told me about three things which has an effect on a persons life.

1. House/land.

2. Wife

3. Horse/vehicle

These three things can affect the owner in his personal development. It may prosper his life or it may downgrade him or no development. Does it really have any effect of such in life in the light of Islam and Deen?

Questioning matters of Deen

Q: Im a new convert to islam alhamdulilah and have been for around 7 months now. Im so happy and everyday I try and read Hadith and Quranic verses to increase my knowledge. Having said that I came across a few Hadith which has started making me a little doubtful so I really would love if you can help eliminate those doubts. I was reading a Hadith on Umar bin-Al khattab who suggested women covering up then aya was revealed after peeping on wives of prophet when they went to relieve themselves at night. When Sauda told the prophet, she was embarassed and thus the Aya regarding modesty and Hijab was revealed. I also read a similar hadith which stated that slave women dont have to wear the Hijab. It was to rather differentiate between Free women and slave women? How can this be if this is a duty on all muslim women?

On another occasion, When Hafsa found prophet in her bed with Maria the copt an aya was revealed regarding making matters that are halal haram.

So my questions are: How is it fair that slaves are treated differently with regards to Hijab wearing (its not compulsory). Why were verses from Allah revealed after Umar bin Al Khattab suggested? How is having intercourse with a slave permissible (i.e Mariya the copt) without marriage? Some critics would argue that this is to allow the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) to do what he wants. A similar thing the fact that he had 11 wives when the maximum is 4. I dont not hold those beliefs of course, i believe it is slanderous and blasphemous to our beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) but how do I refute such claims.

Watching movies with devils and evil spirits

Q: My question is if a Muslim watches fictious super hero movies like spiderman and other super hero movies in which they show a super hero getting alive again after death. The superhero that is considered god of thunder, and other fictious movies which show devils, evil spirits (horror) etc. in. Does watching all these superhero movies nullify a person from Islam? I know watching movies is not permissible but I want to know does this nullify Islam? Because lot of children and adult Muslims watch super hero and horror movies of these types and enjoy.

Killing a murtad

Q: I want to know the ruling for people leaving Islam. Should we kill them? Also please tell me what Quran says about a murtad? Why do people leave Islam eventhough they know the truth?
