  1. My name is bakary from Nigeria.
    I am bit worried about non Muslim challenges over prophet Muhammad salalahu alaiwasalam and his belove wife Aisha. Many christian claim that prophet Muhammad married Aisha at 3 years old.
    I summon the question on Google that at what age prophet Muhammad salalahu alaiwasalam married Aisha?
    Did Aisha had children for him? after the death of our beloved prophet Muhammad saw did Aisha marry to another man?

  3. I need clearance on giving out Sadqa? Is it necessary to tell recipients that it is Sadqa, at the time of giving? What i understand is that Sadqa is given after telling the recipient whereas Zakat may be given without informing the recipients.

    • If you give sadqa to recipients to help him or her so do not say him or her this is sadqa he or she understand this that this sadqa but whenever you give zakat to anybody tell him or her that this is zakat for you because we can’t give zakat to anyone who have or not who give you permission so give him or her zakat. Sadqa is help for poor or needy people

  5. Reference Riyad as salihin 1871
    Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
    The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “By the One in Whose Hand my soul is! If you do not commit sins, Allah would replace you with a people who would commit sins and seek forgiveness from Allah; and Allah will certainly forgive them.”
    I want the answer for this to reply to the Christian who commented this, he says Allah tells us to commit sin. Waiting for answer, thank you.

  6. Assalamualaikum Dr.Zakir Naik,May Allah bless u with Jannah, I’m honoured to u.You are such amazing person in my life. I have gained so much of knowledge by listening ur debates. I do have a some questions,
    1.Hazrat yousuf a.s was blessed with dreams I mean to say he says what this dream meant by he give suggestions accordingly and fortune telling is wrong it was mentioned in the Qur’an but how come with that dream he helped the king of that time for the next coming days.Nowadays,also some people say in channels that this is the meaning of this dream and so is it is like fortune telling to me can u differentiate between both dreams and fortune telling.
    2.We don’t know how our Sahaba look like and we don’t know how our beloved prophet Mohammed S.A.W looks like but according to the given references from hadees we can assume that he looks like dis then some people tells us that I have seen Sahaba in my dream and prophet has come in my dream, Im not objecting may b they have seen but how come it is possible when u have not seen the real.
    3.Why is a women is impure in her periods,she should not even touch the Qur’an I believe in Allah and also I believe that he does everything for a reason so what is the reason?
