Q: Please suggest some good websites for downloading authentic islamicbooks, Hadith books, quran tafseers and other fazail books both in English and Urdu language

Q: If we come across any statement in the bible or any other religious book which is correct in Islam, should we respect that, even though the wording is different?

Q: What are your eminent views about the mourning ceremonies and gatherings of Shia people. Is this haram or good?

Q: I am really confused on a point. People in our society react differently to the issue of cartoons of Nabi Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Some do strikes (which many a times become violent), others show no practical response, although they feel hurt. Please respond/guide me in light of sunnah with reference to seerah what is the methodology or reaction one should adopt against blasphemous acts. 

Q: When I think of Allah Ta'ala, I think of the heavens and the solar system with all the stars and the planets including then all in the earth and I think of Allah Ta'ala being above all of that is that normal or haram?

Q: Reading porn story is a sin?

Q: I'm a Salafi so I'm sure if there's a different opinion, but I'm a university student who wears the abaya and hijab. I encountered a male who is a missonary for Christianity. This missonary was trying to convince me that I should pray to Esa (Jesus) and NOT Allah alone. He asked me a question about how we the Muslims should fully believe that we will go to Heaven since Allah only who knows. I told him that in the Quran Allah said that He will only accept Islam as the final religion, anything else that is NOT Islam He will NOT accept. The missonary was STILL trying to convince me to pray to Esa and that Esa is an assurance to all mankind that each individual will go to Heaven. The missionary asked me again if I can pray along with him. The 1st time that's what happened that I explained. The 2nd time, I told him that he can pray for him, because I do NOT know how to get rid of him. So, he prayed, while he THOUGHT that I was praying inside of my heart. I was NOT following along. I was saying inside my heart in Arabic that I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Final Messenger. I also said in Arabic that There is no deity except Allah. When the missionary finished his prayer for me, he told me that he comes to the campus every once a week to teach/explain the Bible. He gave me his number and a flyer. I told him "Thank you" and we both left. I immediately tore the flyer and threw it away. Could yoy please kindly tell me if I am still a Muslim and i have NOT disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger? My heart was and still enraged on what occurred and fullt believes in Islam as my religion.

Q: A boy said to another boy (black) in urdu which spells (kala), I said to him dont do that because Allah has created him. He then said "Qaala Rasoolullahi (sallalahu alayhi wasallam) " He was trying to justify that he didn't say kala (black) But qala (in Arabic) Rasoolullahi sallalahu alayhi wasallam. And he said that something after Qala Rasolullahi salallahu alayhi wasallam like a hadith and I don't know if its a real hadith or not maybe he said "Dont disturb someone" something like that and included saying "Dracula" also... then I asked him which hadith there is written "dracula" and I said to him dont make fun of hadith...

Here he made two mistakes

1. By justifying that he said Qala and not kala by using the means of hadith as I mentioned earlier

2. He said dracula also as I described in which manner he said that. Is he still a Muslim?

Q: A man started keeping a beard after shaving for a long time. He is a Muslim. My father told me that "to be true he was looking better before"(because that man doesnt really look good after he started keeping a beard) I also agreed with my father saying that he was looking good before because when a man leaves his beard after shaving it for long time, he does not look good but after the beard grows he looks good. I had seen another man (who is a Muslim) who had shaved for a long time then left his beard and he too was not looking good but now he is good looking because of a big beard?

My question is that: Is there any affect on us being Muslims? Because we said that a man is not looking good while he was obeying Allah and His Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) by leaving a beard.
