Assalaamu alaykum. I am a junior doctor and a trainee. I suffer a lot from thoughts of dishonesty and wrongdoing. The last time when I was on duty, a patient came to the emergency room. I tried taking his blood pressure, but my apparatus stopped working. My colleague just wrote the pressure by herself. At the time, I was relaxed. Later on however, I.. More

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I hear that restrooms at Hajj sites are hard to use, especially at Muzdalifah. I have heard this from male speakers. I wonder how a woman may use them then. It is very difficult. I mean, if I think about myself, starting from shoes (they are not open sandals like men), socks, trouser, shirt, abaya,.. More
My colleagues where discussing whether or not Allaah has a soul, and I thought of telling them that He does. However, I stopped myself, thinking that that would be talking about Allaah without knowledge and that He most probably does not have a soul as it is more likely than not that a soul is a created thing. Then I heard a voice inside me say, "Go.. More
I was muttering to myself about what I would say in an argument with someone over an Islamic ruling that I believed to be correct. While I was talking to myself, I put in a hadith which I thought was false, but there was a decent chance that the hadith was authentic, so I should not say anything without being certain. I did not remember since I had.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. I am a junior doctor. A week before, a very depressing mishap occured. There was a patient who, without a doubt, was in a very critical situation. I took care of him but forgot to give him the last stage treatment at night. I also made some mistake due to a lack of knowledge. I was supposed to give him dopamine and noradrenaline but.. More
Assalaamu alaykum! My husband was talking to me while I was reciting the Quran. He recited, "Wa ma alayna illal balaagh." I am not sure what he said next, but he said something like balaagh and blog sound similar, I am not sure whether he recited the verse again replacing blog for balaagh. I do not remember the whole conversation too well to say with.. More
This is about a person who said that she does not believe in Allaah. When asked whether she was a Muslim or a disbeliever, I said that I did not know. Even though I knew that the issue of ignorance or being forced to say words of disbelief do not apply to her, I said this. I had the feeling that I was missing something and was not considering something.. More
My wife will have a heart surgery and may need to change the valve of her heart. There are two options: a valve from a pig or a mechanical valve. If she takes the mechanical valve, then she will have to use medication for the rest of her life and this medication would causes great harm to the baby if she were to get pregnant. We do not have any kids.. More

She said that she was wearing a pad but that due to the.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. Nowadays, hybridization of plants is popular. I am very fond of gardening. There are three types of plants: autogamous, xenogamous and geitonogamous. Either the plant pollinates by self-pollination where there is no scope of natural hybridization or by pollinating with different flowers either on the same plant or on different plants.. More
I am a convert, and I have an old desk in my roomat which I used to eat when I was a kafir (disbeliever). I used to eat haram meat, and I am 100% sure that it must have fallen on the desk many times and was only wiped with a wet cloth (I do not know how many times this happened) and was not wiped with a dry one afterwards. Its surface is not smooth,.. More
