I currently study in Hyderabad , India in a women’s Muslim college. Alhumdullilah. Every Friday afternoon one or two lady teachers come to give Islamic lectures. They are against amulets, music, etc but they also speak doubtful matters like Allah is in the heart. Massa of neck should be done Surah Yasin should be read regularly If women doesn’t wear scarf on head while reciting Quran angels get shy and doesn’t enter that area. Angels can’t recite Qur’an so they descend and listen to us when we recite Doing wudhu 5 times is encouraged for women in menses etc How should we students as laymen deal with such teachers who come suddenly and preach?

Is it true that if ayatalkursi is recited once, Allah tells the angels to go and protect the reciter .And if recited thrice, Allah orders angels to come back as Allah will now protect the reciter.

This is not authentic

Just want to find out that someone just posted that her mom writes ya hafeezu. On a paper ,keeps it with her valuables so allah protects her stuff. Another man who had a near death experience said he is alive coz he had read ya hafeezu 11 times before touching the electric cables. I asked for an authentic reference she said its allahs name and there’s nothing wrong in reciting allahs name

This is an innovation and should be avoided. Writing the name of Allah is not something that was done by our Prophet salla allahu alaihi wa sallam or his companions! Repeating The names of Allah a specific number of times is also an innovation.

No,this is not permissible as there are only 2 celebrations in Islam (eid) and everything else is not permissible.

Am I correct in saying that one definition of bidah is: Any act of worship that is restricted when there is no proof in Quran or Sunnah for that restriction or specification. Eg if a person raises their hands for dua after salah occasionally, this is fine but to believe it has to be done after each salah or it is better if it is done after salah is bidah.

This is partly correct. It is any act which a person wants to get closer to Allah with and the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa salla. Didn’t do it nor instructed us to do it.

I was wondering what the alternative choice is if my parents are forcing me to celebrate the persian new year and I am only 17. What should I do if they don’t listen to me and if they don’t believe it’s haram to celebrate it?

Try to come up with something to do on the day they celebrate that, so you do not have to participate. You should also explain to them that this is unislamic and not permitted. In a nutshell, don’t celebrate it with them!
