Answer

1. There is no verse in the Qur’aan that the Shaytaan is the king of darkness. However, the Qur’aan is replete with verses about Shaytaan being our open and avowed enemy. Following Shaytaan will be a means of one’s darkness on the day of Qiyaamat. The relationship of Shaytaan with man is balanced with guidance to man from Allah Ta’ala and His Rasul (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). It is not a one sided issue that man is only exposed to the misguidance and evils of Shaytaan. Man is also guided with righteousness by Allah and His Rasul (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). Allah has given man the rational and ability to do as he wants. If he follows Shaytaan, it is his choice and hence he will be punished. He will be rewarded for doing good as that too is due to his choice.

2. The virtues of Chaast Salaat (Salaat al-Dhuhaa) are many. In one Hadith, Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) is reported to have said, ?That person who performs 2 Rakaats of Chaast Salaat, he will not be counted from among the neglectful ones and the one who performs 4 Rakaats of Chaast he will be recorded from the worshippers and the one that reads 6 Rakaats, it will suffice for him on behalf of any optional act for that day and the one that performs 8 Rakaats, Allah will count him to be from among the obedient ones and the one the performs 12 Rakaats Allah will build for him a house in Jannah.? (Al-Tabrani) The best time to read Chast is when quarter of the day has passed, otherwise it could be read from after sunrise uptil before midday. (Tahawi pgs.395-596)

and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best

About 2 years ago I had very severe problems with doubts in taharah and salat. AlhamduLillah, these times are far away, and I feel myself much more comfortable. But unfortunately now I suffer from some new doubts which appeared recently. The first problem is regarding materials which doesn’t penetrate water. Before wudhu I’m in doubt whether there are some of them on my heels and near nails. For example, if I have few yarns stuck to my heels, I don’t know whether they are synthetic ones (which don’t penetrate water) or not. Because there are just a few yarns, I can’t advocate whether they penetrate water or not. Also sometimes I find hair stuck to my nails or heels, and again I’m in doubt whether it penetrates water or not. Also if I have some dirt, I’m also in doubt whether it contains some small amount of water-not-penetrating materials. So, my wudhu becomes quite a long procedure, where I try to look at my heels and nails thoroughly trying to remove all the dirt, yarns, stuck pieces of hair. The second problem is in washing my face. I know that we can’t wash one limb with water which was used for washing another limb. So the doubt is as follows: if washing the face my palms will touch hair, I start to think, that on my hands there is water which was used washing my hair, not the face, so I wash my hands, and continue washing the face with new water. The other problem is that I don’t know what part of eyes should I wash – I understand that we don’t need to wash eyes themselves, but what’s about the red area which is near roots of eyelashes (above, under, right and left to eyes)?
