Q: I was reading a book named "Diwaan e Shafi'i". Kindly guide me about its authenticity.
Should one read it and believe that all this book contains are authentic poems of one of four jurisprudents of Ahlas Sunnah (Imam Muhammad Ibn Idrīs al Shafiʿi)?
Q: I know that if a Muslim helps a non Muslim against Muslims, he leaves the fold of Islam. What is the crieteria of help? For example if I have a non Muslim friend and I talk to her about a Muslim which may lead to physical or mental harm or loss of rights to the said Muslim, will that be kufr too? I used to daily think that this applied in case of war/weaponry only.
Q: Why do madrasahs and Isamic institutions offering Aalima courses bave tarbiyyah on a Thursday specifically?
Q: There's a thing that is bothering me so much. A friend of mine hates marriage. Once there was a chart in my college that listed the sunnahs of Ambiya, one of them was nikah. She didn't believe that it was a sunnah, we told her that it was. Afterwards she jokingly said that she will cut this off the chart. Is this kufr? If this is indeed kufr and takes her out of the fold of Islam, she is going to be super offended and likely to throw a tantrum because nowadays people don't even know things that are kufr. How do I explain this to her?
Q: If someone says that his marriage is useless in joking way and he doesn't believe it. He knows the importance of marriage but he said the above given words in front of his wife just to crack a joke, so has he uttered words of kufr?
Q: We respect the four imams and we follow the teachings of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and Quran. There are very mild differences in Namaz as said by the 4 imams with their proofs in hadith. Now I pray without rafadayn and my hands are not on my chest while standing. So does it mean that I'm praying the wrong way, because I see in Saudi Arabia they do rafadayn and have hands on chest. Please help me and make my salah better.
Q: I am looking for the definition of a Sunnah. Is it correct to say that a Sunnah is anything that Nabi صلى الله تعالى عليه و سلم تسليما said, did or liked?

Q: What is the importance of education (school/college/University) inIslam?
Q: My mother said to me to take a bath and she said that Muslims keep themselves clean, but as I didn't want to take bath and I, in anger said that I am a kafir (God forbid). So by saying in anger that I am a kafir, did I disbelieve?
