Why is that all Muslims pray toward the Ka’bah when praying?
Question:
What is the significance of the Ka’bah? I converted to Islam last year by marriage, and a non-believer told me that Muslims go to Hajj just to touch the stone. Is this true? If not, why is it that all Muslims pray toward the Ka’bah and toward the East? I would like to learn more about my religion so when someone tells me something like this, I can tell them the truth about Islam.
Answer:
Allah says in the Qur’an, “The first House (of worship) appointed for men was that at Bakka, Full of blessing and of guidance for all kinds of beings.” (Al-'Imran 3: 96). Thus by ordering us to face towards the Ka’bah, we are taken back to our Adamic roots.

Polyandry in Islam
Question:
According to Islam women cannot marry more than one male as then we will not know who the father is. But today we can know who the father is by DNA testing. So how can we answer this question if posed by a non-Muslim?
Answer:
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

Is it true that Islam allows 9 year olds to be married?
Question:
Salaam alaikum,
Is it true that Islam allows 9 year olds to be married? How legible is the consent of the 9-year-old? and likewise if she were forced to marry, that would be wrong.
I know that this doubt comes from the Prophet's marriage to Aisha, but my question is not about Aisha. I know her marriage was social reasons and it was recommended by a woman, infact. But was it just for that, or does this prove that it is ok for a child to get married?
Saudi is generally defamed for this too, because certain clerics there are quite outspoken for their support for such practises and claim that denying them is unjust to the girl child being married! Even if they weren't that known, the media definitely publizises them.
I want a clear answer from a knowledgeable Muslim - is getting girls as old as 9 permissible in Shariah?

Husband force her wife to get intimate relations (ML), is it OK?
Question:
If the husband wants to sleep with his wife and she does not want to and she hasn’t got a sickness or whatever, there is nothing wrong with her she just does not feel like it, and he ends up sleeping with her by force. Is this allowed in in the Islamic jurisprudence? is this rape or not?
Today many self styled Islamic clerics claim that this is totally OK in accordance with the authentic narrations of prophet Muhammed (PBUH).

Adab membaca, menghafal dan mengajarkan Al-Qur'an
Al-Qur’an adalah pemisah antara yang haq dan yang batil. Tidaklah seorang yang sombong meninggalkannya kecuali Allah SWT mematahkannya. Barangsiapa mencari petunjuk selain Al-Qur’an, maka Allah SWT menyesatkannya. Al-Qur’an adalah tali Allah Yang teguh dan dzikir yang bijaksana serta jalan yang lurus. Al-Qur’an tidak menjadi usang meskipun diulang-ulang, keajaibannya tidak pernah habis.
Membaca, mempelajari dan mengamalkannya adalah merupakan ibadah yang mendapatkan keistimewaan tersendiri di sisi Allah SWT.
Diriwayatkan daripada Aisyah RA, Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Orang yang membaca Al-Qur’an sedangkan dia mahir melakukannya, kelak mendapat tempat di dalam Syurga bersama-sama dengan rasul-rasul yang mulia lagi baik. Sedangkan orang yang membaca Al-Qur’an, tetapi dia tidak mahir, membacanya tertegun-tegun dan nampak agak berat lidahnya (belum lancar), dia akan mendapat dua pahala.” (Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)
