I was wondering if you could help me understand why Allah swt sometimes speaks very harshly about punishment in the Quran? particularly when speaking of non-believers. The reason I am asking is because I want to know what to tell a non Muslim if they ask me concerning this.

Can you give me example?

For example, 55:41-44 and 9:80

These are threats to show the disbelievers what a horrible punishment awaits them. These things show them the severity pf their crimes and how they should mend their ways and seek forgiveness.

But this doesn't refer to non Muslim people who are good and righteous right? Because I thought in Islam non Muslims are also able to go to Jannah? If a non Muslim reads these verses and asks me about them what do I tell them?

وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ - 3:85

“And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers.” Quran 3:85

The People of the book that came prior to the Prophet (s) yet were waiting on him would be granted Jannat after they are judged inshallah

I may not know much about mutah, and have no intention of doing it, but I am curious to know what its purpose is in Islam.

Also, I heard that there is a mahr that must be paid. With all due respect to our faith, what is the difference between prostitution and mutah then? The goal for each seems to be the same. Again I mean no disrespect to the religion, I just want to understand.

Salam

Mutah is a marriage contract where the woman is viewed as ones wife and given respect and rights as a wife for a specified time. Whereas in prostitution the woman has no rights at all and is looked at in a bad disrespectful way.

What is the intended purpose of it then?

Sometimes for different reasons: getting to know one another before the nikah, sometimes people were away for very long times away from home (wars back in the times of the Prophet for example), sometimes people do mutah and have a lawful relationship while saving to prepare the type of nikah ceremony they want. These are just some of the things I have seen. Mutah doesn’t have to be of a sexual nature it could be just so the intended couple can speak to each other and see each other freely.

Why is masturbation haraam in our faith?

Once Imam Ali (as) caught someone doing this. He hit him on his hand and then went to get him married so he didn’t commit this sin again.

Also, If someone knew he could masturbate than he would just do that and may prolong getting married.

Masturbation also can cause health problems, such as blindness.

These are just a few reasons. Allah knows best.

Can we offer Qaza Namaz e Fajar between Zuhar o Aar or Maghrib o Isha. Sequence is necessary or not necessary?

If you have Salatul Qadha that you need to make for that same day then it is recommend to make these before making the current salat.

Please Explain about KFC meals in Dubai. As we don't know from where the meat is coming and how they slaughter.

I do not know the countries regulations for their meat, but are the owners or managers Muslims? You should approach them and ask them if their meat is halal. I have been to non Muslim countries such as England where they have fully halal KFC.

Usually here the Management is Non Muslims But They write Halal on their Foods As its Written Halal KFC. The staff is Christians or Hindus but Brand KFC itself is written Halal. So what should we do.

You have two things to consider: Firstly you are in an Islamic country and secondly the meat is labeled as Halal. If you are still in doubt then you can write to the company itself, but i do not see the necessity in doing this as they have already put the halal sign on their products.

One of the brothers I know have a broken arm he follows Sistani, can he pray normally with a broken arm?

Is his arm in a cast?

What happens if it is not in a cast? And if it is in a cast?

If its not in a cast he makes wudhu normally but if in a cast he makes wudhu jabeera and wipes over the cast. However for salat, if he is not able to do sujud properly then he would need to pray sitting.

If a person has the sling, can he perform ruku and sujud with one hand?

No he needs to perform sujud with both hands, if he cannot then he should pray sitting
