Q: Is it a sunnah to drink milk before sleeping?

Q: I have an English project at school in which I need a very specific kind of urdu poem. However, I did not find any suitable urdu poem, so I thought of making up a poem based on a false story, or a real story but with false details, just to achieve the requirements of my assignment. My intention is not to report the story in the poem, but to illustrate the details like setting and characters, genre and the language in it. Is this permissible in Islam, or will this be considered a lie?

Q: What is the Islamic perspective on Black Friday sales? I’ve read that this day is linked to Christian holidays. Even some Muslim businesses are promoting items for this day.

Q: I am so lost I cry everynight for guidance for a little sign from Allah and I beg Allah to help me but nothing ever happens. I begin to wonder if, when you die, that's it, the end. What if Allah is not there but somthing else is?

Also, would you advise to stop watching videos online as they have misguided me and my iman before.

Q: Will a man have two worldly wives in jannah? Can’t he have more wives from the world?

Q: Some non Muslims say that your Prophet was cursed. They say he fabricated against God. They give this proof وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الْأَقَاوِيلِ Had he falsely attributed some statements to Us. لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِينِ  We would have seized him by the right arm. ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ

Narrated Ibn Ka'b b. Malik: On the authority of his father: Umm Mubashshir said to the Prophet (ﷺ) during the sickness of which he died: What do you think about your illness, Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? I do not think about the illness of my son except the poisoned sheep of which he had eaten with you at Khaybar. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: And I do not think about my illness except that. This is the time when it cut off my aorta.

Abu Dawud said: Sometime 'Abd al-Razzaq transmitted this tradition, omitting the link of the Companion, from Ma'mar, from al-Zuhri, from the Prophet (ﷺ), and sometimes he transmitted it from al-Zuhri from 'Abd al-Rahman b. Ka'b b. Malik, 'Abd al-Rahman mentioned that Ma'mar sometimes transmitted the tradition in a mursal form (omitting the link of the Companion), and they recorded it. And all this is correct with us.

'Abd al-Razzaq said: When Ibn al-Mubarak came to Ma'mar, he transmitted the traditions in a musnad form (with a perfect chain) which he transmitted as mauquf traditions (statements of the Companions and not of the Prophet).

Q: Why do the the Barelvis call the Deobandis Wahhabis?

Q: Back when I didn't know much about Islam, I used to occasionally say swear words like 'oh my ******* God'. I, by no means intended to insult Allah, and was mostly unaware of what I was saying, it would just come out of my mouth automatically. Did this take me out of the fold of Islam? If so, do my prayers between then and me coming back to Islam not count. I am very regretful for every saying it and would never repeat such stuff intentionally now.

Q: I normally follow the hanafi madhab however I wish to follow the shafii madhab with regards to wudu as i read that the shafii madhab does not consider wudu broken if blood or pus or other liquids flow from anywhere but the front and back passage. I am in a difficult situation due to blood/liquid flow and would like to follow the shafii ruling. Is this permissible? Also if I follow the shafii madhab with regards to wudu, must I follow it with regards to prayer and ghusl as well? If so, what are the obligations of prayer according to the shafii madhab?

Q: Can you prove solipsism wrong? Solipsism is the view or theory that the self is all that can be known to exist. I mean, you don't know whether others have feelings just like you or not, but you will just see that they are crying but can never be sure of the fact they actually have feelings.
