Q: Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) saw some people's punishment in jahannam, was he allowed to see the future?

Q: Please clarify what is shirk for me. I know Allah is alone he has no partners. Whatever happenes to us comes from Allah. He is alone worthy of worship Allah has no partners.

Q: I have heard from many people that our souls were already created and we had met in a place only Allah knows, long before we were born. Is it true? And what hadith and Quraan says about it?

Q: I have heard that RasoolAllah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) mentioned in a Hadith that two sects i.e. the Murjiyah and the Qadariyah do not have any share in Islam due to their corrupt beliefs. The Murjiyah sect believe that a person has no control or say over his or her actions and whatever happens it is due to the Will of Allah Ta'ala and the Qadariyah sect does not believe in Taqdeer and denies it. Please clarify.
