Q: Why does the Quran rhythm and topic change in the same Surah? For example in shurah Alkawsar the first aayah is about abundance, the second is about prayer and sacrifice and the third is about posterity.
Q: Please make clear that what Surah Baqrah, Aayah 285 says. The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, as did the believers. They all have believed in God, and His angels, and His scriptures, and His messengers: "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. Your forgiveness, our Lord. To you is the destiny.
This means that we can not make any distinction between prophets like prophet Muhammad saw is more better than others. And in Bukhari Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, "One should not say that I am better than Jonah (i.e. Yunus) bin Matta." So, he mentioned his father Matta. The Prophet mentioned the night of his Ascension and said, "The prophet Moses was brown, a tall person as if from the people of the tribe of Shanu'a. Jesus was a curly-haired man of moderate height." He also mentioned Malik, the gate-keeper of the (Hell) Fire, and Ad-Dajjal.

Q: Can I recite or hold the Qur'aan without wudhu? Because i've heard that you will be able to hold the Qur'aan but the reward you will get is not like the reward that you will get with wudhu, in other words your reward is less.
Q: When you read a Surah and you reach a place where you have to do sajdah, is it obligatory and is it a sin if you don't do it? Because if you are reading it by heart in bus or public places how will you do it?
