Hey, these are questions that came up in my mind automatically from time to time. In fact, a lot of people have these questions and more but they suppress them. That's where faith kicks in, you know.. :P

Whenever I was confused about a verse or Hadith, I'd Google it and read/watch whatever the 'trusted' Salafi sheikhs had to say about it. In a lot of cases, the answers I got were not very satisfactory and I was especially disappointed when sometimes, the Sheikhs deliberately deceived their audiences by giving them incorrect information.
