I am reading English translation of the Quran, but after I am done reading a few ayahs each day, I find that I forget what I read. Is this because I am so sinful and a bad person? Is there anything I can do to improve retention of what I read from the Quran?

My husband is going to rent an apartment however in the lease there is usually a riba clause. This is a standard lease in the city. The clause usually states that riba would be charged if payment is delayed beyond a certain date every month. Alhumdulillah my husband pays the rent on time but can we sign this lease? Is it sinful to do so? Please note its the standard lease paper that is used by almost every person who is renting out an apartment.

Riba

This is not permissible to sign it as it is acknowledging the validity of Riba. This clause must be crossed out.

I have heard that we are not supposed to built toilet and bathroom or wudhu place in one room. As we cannot do dhikr in toilets and without bismillah we cannot do wudu or even ghusl. So I was planning to have attached toilet and bathroom to the bedrooms with only one entrance. Can I do it or do I have to have a separate doors for both toilet and bathroom. Or can we have a small section in bathroom for toilet separated with half wall but without door

You can have a bathroom and toilet altogether and when you’re doing wudhu, or ghusl, you just don’t move your lips when you say “bismillah”; you just think it in your mind.
