1090 Regarding your answer to Question 893 about the prostration marks on the foreheads, you replied that "there is no significance and that these marks are generally caused by prostrating on hard surfaces". I would like to draw your attention to Surah Al-Fatha Verse:29 "... they have the marks on their foreheads from the effect of prostrations. this description of theirs is in the Tauraat and also in the Injeel..." light on the faces who engage in Tahajjud prayers.

1089 I have a rabbit at home and it runs around in the living room where I also pray. Is it allowed to pray at a place where such an animal runs around or would such a place be considered to have too much impurity around? And since the rabbit runs around the whole apartment, and after Wudu everywhere I step it will be a place it has been sitting, does this mean my feet will be impure and invalidate my prayer? Could you also tell about the ruling on pets and criteria for keeping them?

1087 I had this question stuck in my head for about 2-3 years. In my school there are a lot of pretty girls and smart and a lot of them are very respectable, but my concern is that they are not Muslims. Is it OK for a Muslim man to marry a non-Muslim woman? My reason is that I don't find girls in my culture, respecting. I am an Ahiska Turk (Wikipedia has an article). Please tell if it is OK for Muslim man to marry a non-Muslim, if yes what religion should the children be? And if yes how is the wedding supposed to be, my culture or hers? And please tell me more than I asked please I don't want miss anything. I actually want to know because in my culture nowadays is hard to find at least smart and respectable girl I'm not even talking about being "hot". Please answer me it is really important. I appreciate and thank you all in advance for helping people and developing this wonderful website.

1086 I’ve read that one of the Fard of Ghusl is to wash the whole body three times. What is meant by the whole body, is it from head to toe or neck downwards?

1085 Please can you help me. In my heart I am Muslim with strong Islamic beliefs, but in my mind I am constantly looking into science and creating doubt about Allah, I am fighting a battle between my mind and my heart. In my mind I think of death and that life ends there. I read and watch science documentaries showing no proof of Allah. Please can you help me ease my mind as I am drifting away from Islam even though I know it is the right religion in my heart, but I can’t seem to get my mind to accept that there is Allah and that there is life after death? What can I do to convince myself of this? Thank you

1084 I have attended many Funerals and one thing that is very apparent that although you will find many non Sunni Alims present at the graveside, whilst the burial is taking place, the Sunni Alims are nowhere to be seen. Could you please tell me why our Alims do not find it necessary to attend these occasions and how come we the public are lead blindly by the other Alims?
