Was the Imam talking about Barzakh or Day of Judgment?
I read this [question][1]. I have often heard the Imam of my local mosque say the following: 1. During Ramdan and on the day of Eid, many people will be released from Hell by the mercy of Allah. 2. Also that, many people who die during a fast will enter Heaven. Does this mean, people (sinners) who h...
I read this question . I have often heard the Imam of my local mosque say the following:
1. During Ramdan and on the day of Eid, many people will be released from Hell by the mercy of Allah.
2. Also that, many people who die during a fast will enter Heaven.
Does this mean, people (sinners) who have passed away are spending time in Hell at present And good people are already spending time in Heaven? Please provide some clarity.
What I understand now is that, during the state of barzakh sinners will be punished by the angels (no to the extend as in Hell) and time will move very slowly for them until Judgment day. For the faithful believers, life in the state of barzakh will be pleasureful (not as pleasureful as in Heaven) and time will move very fast for them such that Judgment day will appear as tomorrow. Based on this, was the Imam actually talking about the mercy of Allah on Judgment day? Or was he talking about the state of barzakh?

Fasting On The Forbidden Days
Assalamu Alaikum. I have been fasting for the past 4 days in anticipation for Ramadan but I never realised until now that it is forbidden to fast halfway through Sha’ban. Will I be sinned for doing these fasts and are they invalid? Jazak’Allah Khair.

Asslam o alaikum to all of my brothers and sisters.. Well my question is that i have searched in google that when a person swallow his saliva while fasting is this breaks persons fast..? Everywhere it shows that swallowing saliva will not breaks persons fast but whenever i do sehri after sehri my mouth suddenly filled with water till iftari so is this ok to swallow that much saliva?.. Most people do not fell that much saliva in their mouth as i do..Mostly i spit out but after 2 or 3 mint again my mouth fill with water.. Iam not good in english but i hope you get whatever i said. My question is only that is this ok to swallow that much saliva? But it's very hard for me to not to swallow saliva while praying salah in the month of ramadan.. We don't use tissues while praying salah so i swallow my saliva because there is no any other way of spitting out while praying salah specially in the month of ramdhan

And if so, what happen if his/hers livehood depends on his acting job and would loose it if doesn't film/stage the scene as established in the script?

I was feeling extreme thirst while fasting today. I did not feel sick but I woke up only one hour before suhoor and I did not get to drink that much water. I had thoughts about breaking my fast to drink some or to drink a little and then continue fasting. I wasn't sure but after a while I was about to, and then later on I changed my mind. I asked people online about it and when someone told me it is not a valid reason to, I decided not to and to just wait until maghrib. I am now continuing with my fast but I'm concerned if thinking this already broke it. Is my fast still valid?

Is it right to measure the deeds we do to Allah and say it to another?

I joined a Ramadan competition recently. They award the winners by measuring the deeds we did to Allah and the person who has the highest points is awarded. Daily they update a form to fill, it basically consists of the number of Thahajjath rakaths prayed, juzu completed, number of dikrs done, amount of sadakah given, number of tharaweeh prayers. Based on the number we get points on daily basis. My point is, is it right to measure what we do to Allah and tell to them?
This question rose because I don't count the number of dikrs I do because I do it with pleasure and go countless, also I don't feel it's right to measure what we do to Allah because Allah SWT doesn't give us countless blessings not by measuring. It's just eternal is what I think.
I want to know whether this competition is right or wrong and if its wrong I am ready to quit at anytime.

Are there 2 Laylatul Qadr or just one?
We all know that Laylatul Qadr is in one of the last 5 odd nights of Ramadan (21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or 29th). And as Allah SWT explains it's significance in Quran as > The night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months [Al-Qadr 97:3] Also Allaw SWT explains that angels decends on this night in t...
We all know that Laylatul Qadr is in one of the last 5 odd nights of Ramadan (21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or 29th). And as Allah SWT explains it's significance in Quran as
> The night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months [Al-Qadr 97:3]
Also Allaw SWT explains that angels decends on this night in the same Surah.
As there are different islamic dates around the globe. For example, if **Saudi Arabia has 20th Ramadan** night today, **in Pakistan we will have 19th night**. So when it will be **21st night in Saudi Arabia**, it will be 20th night in Pakistan. If let's say this year Laylatul Qadr comes on 21st night, we will have 20th night in Pakistan. Now my question is, **will there be 2 laylatul Qadars**. **One on 21st night in Saudi Arabia and one on 21st night in Pakistan (which will be the next night)** or there will be only one and the people in Pakistan will have to look it in the even nights. Will angels come on 2 different nights or just one night? Can anybody please explain? This question is in my mind since childhood and I never got a satisfactory answer.

Does oral sex during the day in Ramadan invalidate the fast?
How about, if the wife who is not fasting gives oral sex to the husband who is fasting without ejaculation taking place? Is it permitted?

Can laylatul qadr also possibly be on the even nights of the last 10 nights?

I am confused because Sheikh Asim is a renouned Saudi sheikh. But also, this is not the mainstream opinion.
Can someone clarify it for me? Please do quote your sources i.e. Quranic verse or the number/reference of the authentic hadith.

Is that correct?
Also, related: What is the cause of the night of power? Is it the angels taking records back to heaven, or is it the mark of when the Quran was first revealed, or did the two just coincide once?
