I had an exam and I did study for it . But it didn't go well . I request you to pray that I may pass that exam, I can't bear failure in finals 😞😞 plz pray . I may pass please .

Do your best but don't grieve over it.
No one will care about your classroom exams, not your employer, spouse, kids, not even you in a decade.
Your concern should be on passing the final exam on the day of judgement, and you're writing it every second of your life.
May the almighty brings coolness to your heart, and draw your attention to that which pleases Him.

State of ihram meaning for hajj/umrah, not salah. The reason he is worried is because the resrrictions would then apply to him.

He specified in his original question "when praying"

What is the ruling on repaying a debt using money that was earned through Haram means? i.e - would the debt be considered as "settled" legally in the Din? (Urgent)

Two issues here:
1. It's absolutely prohibited to use money earned through prohibited means in any way, even in donation. For God is good and does not accept except that which is good.
A permissible income is the most important thing a Muslim should ensure in his life. A man asked the Prophet: how can I be a righteous man who's prayers are surely answered? The Prophet said: ensure your income and food is permissible, your prayers will be surely answered.
Every Muslim must repent from all and every prohibited income, and be warned that the Prophet said: the flesh that was fed with prohibited earnings is more deserving to go to the fire than any other thing.
A repentance isn't complete until the person discards all that haram earning. It is okay to give it to a charity as long as you acknowledge and don't intent it as charity, and as long as it's not going to be used to feed people or build mosques. Other venues of charity such as medication, clothing, building shelters etc are fine.
2. A Muslim may not use prohibited money to pay back a debt, nor accept a payback of a loan if they knew it is from prohibited source.
Sheikh ul Islam ibn Taymiyya said:
"Let it be known that all prohibited forms of wealth, such as stolen, transgressed, or earned through prohibited contracts do not become permissible by earning; hence if a Muslim knows that, they must avoid it. Therefore, if I know a person stole, betrayed, or transgressed and earned that money in forbidden ways it is not permissible for me to take the money from them, whether it's via a trade, sale, gift, salary or loan because it is equal to taking the money from the victims directly."
If you're heavily in debt, speak to any mosque and they can help you out of it inshaAllah, and ensure you won't fall in it again.

Are there miracles in the Qur'an which non-arabic speaker can appreciate?

Of course! Have you read the Quran before?
No pressure, but look at the reflection of this math professor after reading one page of the Quran. It'll blow your mind.

يا شيخي نحب نسألك في ايه ؟ يعني انت جاوبت ان حضرتك دكتوراه اصلاح التعليم . هل يعني الفائدة الاكبر للمعلمين والمربين في سؤالك فقط ؟ ونحن نعمل ايه طيب : (

أحب أكون في جزيرة مهجورة، ومعي كتبي، لا فيها حد يسألني ولا حاجة تنغصني.
أما بالنسبة لكم، انتو تروحوا تسألوا اللي انتو عايزينه وتنسوني. حبقى سعيد جدا.
يا جماعة الخير، أنا فتحت هذا الحساب هذا العام بضغط من الواقع المرير اللي حولي، وقلت مرارا لو حد فيكم بيعرف يتكلم عربي ميسألنيش في الشريعة والفتوى الله يكرمكم، أهل العلم المتحدثون بالعربية موجودون وبكثرة.
لو حاجة انت شايف محدش غيري يعرف يساعدك فيها تحت أمرك، لو تعرف حد أحسن مني روحله ربنا يفتح طريقك وسيب مكان للي ميعرفش عربي يسألني، ربنا يرزقكم ويبارك لكم ويجزيكم خير على كل سؤال سألتوه لحد غيري
آمييييين

Apologies for not seeming clear enough, the brother basically does not want to enter the state of ihram but constantly gets whispers and "forced thoughts", e.g "i want to enter the state" even though he doesnt at all. And then he gets doubts about whether he did or not enter the state due to it.

Wait, so your jinn is inviting you to pray and you say no thanks? Go pray! ☺
No matter how hard you intend, you cannot enter into a state of ihram without uttering takbeeratul ihram with a minimum of an audible whisper.

I am about to get out of a shubuhat phase. Tonnes of shubuhat that I've gone through shaykh,I'm satisfied with most now,but still feel weak. If someone writes an article about a shubha in a strong manner I start doubting again..how do I prevent this? And how do I get the few ones that are stuck off?

A sick person is put in quarantine for three reasons:
1. To prevent them from spreading the disease
2. To prevent them from catching another disease while their immunity is low
3. To put them in a controlled environment so treatment can be administered.
You need to put your mind in quarantine; by avoiding debates, discussions, etc. while working on each shubuha until it's removed. Go off-grid from all social media for a minimum of six weeks, see your local imam/trusted scholar and work daily on this until you figure it out. Recite the Quran and ponder on it, daily. The health of your mind and heart are your most important things you need to protect in this life, and therefore you need to take this seriously.

asalamuaykum, I got superglue on my hands and tried to take it off. But there were remnants left. I did my prayers and later found out that my wudu was invalid because water cudnt contact the skin as a result of the remnants. I reprayed all 5, but I have just found some remnants of glue on my body.

Your prayer and wudu are both valid.
Sheikh ul Islam ibn Taymiyya said with regards to the condition of removing barriers from the skin prior to wudu: for the exception of what is difficult to remove, such as the paint on the fingertips of the painter and such.
Also imam buhooti said in the Kashaf, except for the tiny barriers, such as dirt under the nail, they are forgiven, and similarly is (tiny spots of) dried blood and dough on the skin.
This is our mathhaab, but it's contrary to the majority opinion that mandates removing all barriers.
Ask Google how to effectively remove super glue from skin.

is it normal to feel like you are ready to commit to marriage at a young age

Absolutely. Then you find out more about it and get really scared and say I'll never be ready, and you'll stay like that even after you're married 😊

When will the friday halaqa be resuming

It never stopped, we had a beautiful guest last week, but we continue for two more weeks inshaAllah until the winter break.

We want to understand what Allah is saying in the Quran, the disbelievers will be raised blind, dumb and deaf, is that literal or a metaphore? Also is true disbelievers will be blind day of judgement from everything except hellfire and the angels?

Good question that shows a deep reflection about the Quran and trying to connect its meanings.
There's no doubt that the disbelievers, on the day of judgement, will see hellfire brought in chains, hear its roar and speak in regret, as all are mentioned in the Quran.
Imam Tabari, when explaining the verse that you referred to in your question 19:97, he says: it is possible that they are resurrected this way in the beginning of the day of judgement, but then when hellfire is brought they are given those senses again. It is also possible that it is a metaphor, as reported that Abdullah b. Abbas said: 'blind' from any good view, 'deaf' from any good news, and 'dumb' from any good word.
And God knows best.
may Allah bless you and increase you in knowledge, and guide us and protect us and save us from having that ending, ameen.

Is it permissible to fast the whole winter with the intention to make up for all the fasts I didn't fulfill because I didn't practise Islam?

Yes to: fasting with intention to make up days.
Don't fast everyday though.

Apostasy: Uff, I knew this would be your reply -.- come on, I know there are more important questions and laymen shouldn't delve into such topics but that are questions we are confronted with in uni and the internet is full of almost every possible opinion. So death penalty for apostates? Help plz 😑

I was about to answer, until I found this amazing quote by a great scholar. He says "there are more important questions and laymen shouldn't delve into such topics."

Asa, if I want to make up my missing prayers , can I pray kadaa after I pray my resent fajr prayer or I can't , because it is forbidden to pray after fajr until sun rise ? Same question about asr ? Jazak allah khairan

Alaikum Assalam, yes, you can make up qadhaa' in these times.

(1) as-Salamu alaykum shaykh Majed. Allah yuhayyik. I have a problem. I used to recite the Quran in prayer by the qira of Khalaf (Hamza) but i read that many of Salaf hated the qira'a of Hamza such as imam Ahmad. Ibn Mahdi said the Sultan should forbid the recitation of Hamza. And other said (read 2

Alaikum Assalam, this is with regards to leading a congregation in public with a strange recitation that people aren't accustomed to.
Imam buhooti says: it is discouraged to read in a qiraa'ah (while leading a congregation) different than which the residents of that country are accustomed to it.

Should and how can I start taking control of things around,be more active,and exhibit a more dominant presence? I think Muslim youth should do this,as we need to be an example to others,make changes. Am I right or is this me getting caught up in the dunya?

Yes, Muslims should be active and establish presence. This is one of many reasons why God prescribed the five daily prayers in congregation in mosques for men, so we don't hide in ghettos.
However, there's a silver lining: to become active in the community and establish presence out of ego, pride and narcissism is a major sin in Islam. The Prophet said: no one shall enter paradise if they had an atom weight of pride in their heart.
Yes, all actions must be sincere for the sake of God alone, but extra attention should be given to actions that could gave dual intentions like this one. Eliminate any chance for your self to feel fulfilled.

I'm not using them as excuses,you asked why I can't propose.Mu question was how can I get it off my mind not how can I achieve it. I honestly don't get the last line,are you saying work towards it or forget about it and resume life?

Put the girl aside, work towards preparing for marriage. You *will* change in those two years, and so will she. When you're ready in two years, reevaluate yourself, the girl, and whether she's right for you anymore or not.
It's pointless to torture yourself worrying about your future home when you haven't gathered lumber to build it yet.
How to get her out of your mind? Here's four effective methods:
1. When she's not around: this is prime time! Involve yourself with something physically and mentally challenging. Volunteer for running a blood donation clinic, or help collect winter clothes for homeless people. There's plenty of great programs out there, if you're in Ottawa pm me on fb and I'll connect you with some. There's nothing greater and more satisfying than spending a few hours of hard work helping complete strangers who really need it (and forget her!)
2. When she's around: avoid eye contact by all means, and avoid looking at her as much as you can. Focus on other matters. Engage in conversations with other people. If you're bound to talk to her, for example in a class discussion/assignment, try to focus your mind away from that which you find attractive about her. Love is blind, and your mind tries to make her look like a perfect person, but no one can be perfect. Hence try to establish that by thinking about her negative qualities to balance yourself.
3. When she's not around, you can't find anything else to do, and you keep thinking about her: turn to the Quran. God describes its effects as mercy and healing for the hearts and guidance for the believers. Recite. Memorise. Listen. Ponder. Study. Reflect. Repeat.
4. Protect God's commands, and He'll protect you: Any fire needs fuel. Curb your desire by fasting as many days in the week as you need, try a minimum of Mondays and Thursdays, as the Prophet did. Lower your gaze all the time. Maintain your prayers on time. Finally, have a share of regular hidden or secret good deed that no one knows about.
