Can one give the name of an angel to a child? Is Mikael a suitable name?
My name is Mikael and I am getting paranoid if this is actually a permissible Islamic/Arabic name or not? I come from a Muslim family and my mother always told me it is taken from an angels name. But I always look at lists of Muslim names online and I can never see my name, or at least my spelling.

Why some babies don't cry, even though they get touched by Satan?
there is a Hadith that says this: > Narrated Said bin Al-Musaiyab: Abu Huraira said, "I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'There is none born among the off-spring of Adam, but Satan touches it. A child therefore, cries loudly at the time of birth because of the touch of Satan, except Mary and her child....

Abu Huraira said, "I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'There is none born among the off-spring of Adam, but Satan touches it. A child therefore, cries loudly at the time of birth because of the touch of Satan, except Mary and her child." Then Abu Huraira recited:
"And I seek refuge with You for her and for her offspring from the outcast Satan" (3.36)
(Sahih al-Bukhari 3431)
but the thing is there are some babies that don't cry at birth so what about them, are they not touched by Satan?

How to give adhan in newborn baby's ear?
In few days, I will become a father and I was wondering how to say adhan in the right way? As new baby has a very delicate ear, so does one whisper, or say it out loud but from a distance? Should it be in both ear or just one? Who should be present at the time of adhan?

What has been said about innocent babies among people who recieved Allah's punishment?
Many cities and nations have recieved Allah's punishment for their wrongdoings. However, statistically speaking, a nation has newborn babies almost in any time. What has been said about those babies? Because apparently newborns are innocent.

If two men could have a baby (e.g. via stem cells), would it be haram?
This is new research that could take a stem cell and make it into a sperm or an egg. So, it's plausible that we could take the stem cell from one man and make that into an egg and fertilize the egg with the sperm from the other man. This can then be placed inside of a woman and she can give birth to...

So, it's plausible that we could take the stem cell from one man and make that into an egg and fertilize the egg with the sperm from the other man. This can then be placed inside of a woman and she can give birth to the baby that is not genetically hers. The baby would be genetically derived from the two men. This is not a possibility yet, but could be in just a few years. Would this be haram?

If I tell her I can't marry her because she is an atheist, she might lie about her beliefs. If she is pregnant (less then 2 months) and she decides to keep the baby then what should my decision be based to Islam?

As an overworked mother to a newborn baby, is it okay to miss a prayer and pray it later?
Now that I have given birth, I have to breastfeed and do many things as a mother, so I am not getting the time to finish that prayer. Is it okay to leave that prayer, or I should finish it? By finish it I mean pray it as a missed prayer.
