Piety is cause for gaining beneficial knowledge
From what I understand from a verse in the Quran [in Surah Al-Baqarah] is that if we fear Allaah, he will teach us. Does that cover all types of knowledge?

What the heart is and how to know if it is good
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah. I have several questions to ask, Allaah willing. What is consideredthe heart in Islam? Do we have knowledge about our hearts?

Prayer of repentance is not a condition for making repentance
I want to know if Istighfaar (asking forgiveness) with the intention of repenting (regret, sincerity, and so on) is counted as repentance or if the only way of repenting is praying Salat At-Tawbah(prayer of repentance).

Worshipping Allah to have prayers answered
My problem is that I feel that every act of worship that I perform is done for the sake of having my prayer answered. I fast because the supplication of the fasting person will be answered; I pray the supererogatory prayers in order to come nearer to Allaah so that He would accept my supplication. In brief, I feel that all my worship is not purely for.. More

Asaalaamu alaykum, Shaykh. I am on the path of memorising the Quran. Since I started this path, I have been having doubts whether I memorise Quran to impress others with the way that I recite (Tilaawah). I am very afraid of that, so I sometimes change my Tilaawah to another one that does not cause me such thoughts, but I do not like it that much. I.. More
