Muslim prohibition on swearing oath of allegiance to secular power
I have read that a Muslim is prohibited from swearing an oath of allegiance to a secular power, e.g., the government of the United States, by specific language in the Quran. On-line references which I have checked seem to be silent on this issue. Is there a definitive answer?

Does it matter where or which location you pray, or not?
According to Surah Az-Zalzalah (99:4–5), the earth will report its news on the Day of Judgment. Some scholars say this includes testifying about where people prayed.

According to Surah Az-Zalzalah (99:4–5), the earth will report its news on the Day of Judgment. Some scholars say this includes testifying about where people prayed. Why is the location of prayer important, and what is the wisdom behind the earth testifying about it? I have heard that once you pray sunnah, you need to change your location. I want to know why and what is the point of where you pray. Your limbs can testify that you pray, so why earth?

I know that the topic of taraweeh is controversial amongst Muslims. I don't want to go in much details but I have only few questions. Here I wanted to ask about hadith in muwatta imam Malik in which Umar(R.A) ordered Ubayy ibn Kaab and Tamim ad-Dari to lead the prayer in 11 raka'ahs. Ahle hadith use this as evidence while Hanafis sobject to this that this narration is mudtarib due to its other chains. Is there objection valid?
I also wanted to ask that was there consensus of compaanions(r.a) on 20 raka'ahs and is 20 raka'ahs supported through consistent practice as claimed by hanafis?

Currently I am working on a philosophy paper, exploring the correlation between cause and effect, or in other words how present knowledge is wholly dependent upon past knowledge.
I was thinking of applying some reference or explanation based on Islam. Is there anything I can talk about, with respect to the hadiths or maybe something from the Quran with regards to the past and present dependency?

Is Ramadan the only reason Islam uses lunar calendar?
I was curious why Islam uses the lunar calendar. The solar calendar seems more pragmatic because the same date falls in the same season every year.

I was curious why Islam uses the lunar calendar. The solar calendar seems more pragmatic because the same date falls in the same season every year. E.g. thanks to the solar calendar, it is easy to know that January 1, 1786 was winter in Copenhagen. It is much harder to derive the season in different geographic locations based on a lunar date.
The only advantage to the lunar calendar I can think of is to diversify the difficulty of the Ramadan fast, to make it easier in some years and harder in others. But are there any other benefits of and reasons why Islam uses it?

Ruling on Fiverr's (freelance platform) commission for a permanent client

I and my brother worked online as the freelance developers through Fiverr.
I gave an interview to a client in November/December 2020 for my brother and myself in which I mentioned that we will both work for the client. Back then I was working on another job. I tried to work for the client but I could not work with him until April 2021 because I could not manage two jobs. Then, I decided all terms and conditions of my work with the client directly on whatsapp at the end of March.
Fiverr mentions in their terms and conditions that all communications and money should only go through their platform on which they charge around 20%. My mother said to get payments directly from the client from now on because the client is permanent now and we have already paid a lot of commission to Fiverr monthly so there is no need to pay anymore.
My question is that is it permissible if I get the payments directly from client instead of getting through Fiverr? I work for the client on monthly basis and do I have to keep paying a hefty amount to Fiverr each month? Fiverr's headquarters are also located in Israel so I don't want to do business with them. Can I close my account on Fiverr and get the money from the client directly because I would no longer be obliged to their terms and conditions?
JazakAllah

Is It Allowed in Islam to Refuse My Parents’ Request if It Interferes with Responsibilities?
Is it okay in Islam if I don’t do something my Mum ask me to do, like going live on TikTok Everyday including during holidays, when it stops me from fulfilling my responsibilities like school and do my own stuff? Because when I refuse, my mum scold me. I Don't know what to do.
