I hope that you can explain the virtue of the Sahaabah and what distinguishes them from others?

I would like to know some of the ahaadith which speak of the virtues of Jumu'ah prayer.

I hope you can give me some examples of good deeds that we can do every day to increase our hasanaat.

Can a muslim pray for his non-mulsim mother who has passed away?

I am from a Muslim background, but I never used to offer the obligatory prayers and even when I tried to pray once, I did not do it right. In other words I did not prepare to do it in the proper manner. I ask Allah to forgive me. I heard that the one who does not pray is a disbeliever and is not a Muslim, but whoever offers the five daily prayers, or one or two of them and omits the rest, is regarded as a Muslim. Also, I did not pay zakah on my wealth, but for at least two years I have completed the fast of Ramadan, and I intend to continue doing so. I want to learn how to pray and make it part of my life, along with other acts of worship. 

Is it obligatory for me to pay zakah for all these many years (when I did not pay it), and to make up the days that I did not fast at the time when I was not praying? 

Please note that I have now reached the age of thirty-one years; perhaps you will understand that this may cause me a great deal of hardship; to ward off that hardship, can I start over? Will Allah forgive me if I do that?

I want to make my children keen to pray, because they will pray once then forget about prayer many times. I always advise them and pray to Allah to guide them. How can I encourage them and make them love prayer?.

What is the ruling on mixing with kaafirs and dealing with them kindly, hoping that they will become Muslim?

If a person slept through Fajr prayer, will Allaah reward him for the remainder of the prayers on that day, or not? And if he prays it after he wakes up, will it be accepted from him?

According to the Quran and/or Islamic traditions, why did God create mankind?

Is it Correct to pray without wadoo immedietly after coming from a normal bath.

Is it sufficient to use tissue only when cleaning oneself after defecating, or is it essential to use water?.

I am a South African who used to study in the United States. When I was studying, I borrowed $6000 US from another South African. We are both back in South Africa now, and it is more convenient for both of us if I pay him back I South African rands. Is this allowed?
