WHERE IS ALLAH?
According to the teachings of Islam, God is neither a material nor a spirit. Not at all. No vision can grasp Him, but He grasp all vision. He is above all comprehension, yet he is acquainted with all things, for He created them. His knowledge permeates everywhere. You and I occupy a space because we are material. His glory is beyond to be held that He is in a particular location.
Therefore the question: Where is God, does not apply to Him in any way shape or form. His attributes are exclusively sublime to Him According to His befitted nature known to Him alone, in His infinite capacity. He existed on His own in a state known to Him alone. Glory onto Him for the association of partners unto Him. He is free of all human weakness.....

IS THERE A VERSE ON THE QUR'AN THAT SAYS GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS IMAGE?...
God does not have an image or likeness whatsoever in the teachings of Islam. He is absolutely unique in His attributes and does not share them to His creations.
Actually, God created man in man's image. That ideology of God having image is damaging and paganistic. If we believe in that ideology, we also have to believe by implication that God have:
1. Mouth like ours
2. Stomach
3. Goes to call of nature
4. Have sexual organ
.......and whole lot of anthropomorphic attributes.
(May He be glorified from all these filths).....

CAN A MUSLIM SAY SALAM ALAIKUM TO NON MUSLIM, OR RESPOND TO THEIR SALAM?...
There is nothing wrong with saying salam Alaikum to a non muslim or responding to their salam. While some scholars advised against initiating the greetings, it is generally acceptable and even encouraged to respond positively to non muslim if they greet you.
Muslims are encouraged to spread peace as a way to foster peace and goodwill. Interacting with mon muslim is vital and a form of an avenue to spread dawah. May Allah grant us the understanding of the Deen......

CHANGING YOUR WIFES NAME TO BEAR YOUR LAST NAME. IS IT ALLOWED IN ISLAM?...
There is no blame if you change the name of your wife to bear your last name. The Messenger advised to let them bear their fathers names. The Quran suggested for people to bear their parents name also. What if you divorce her? And she re marry again, then she uses her new husband's name, then may be another divorce again? The logical thing is to let them bear their fathers name. That makes a lot of sense. All the Messengers wives bear their fathers names.....

WHO NAMED THE PROPHET MOHAMMAD saw?...
It was the custom of the Arabs to take new born babies to the kaa'ba to be introduced to the elders and ruling elites of Mecca. When Abdul Muthalib brought him to kaa'ba, the elders asked him, what is his name? So instinctively Abdul Muthalib said 'Mohammad', then they say, what kind of name is this? We never heard such a name in Arabia. Abdul Muthalib responded: he is an orphan and I want him to be LOVED AND PRAISE BY ALL. The name was inspired to him by Allah to be named for the first time on earth. AllahuAqbar!!....

IF THE GOD OF ISLAM IS OMNIPOTENT, WHY WOULD HE CHANGED HIS MIND BY ABROGATING CERTAIN VERSES AND REPLACE THEM WITH OTHER VERSES?.........
In Islamic theology, the concept of abrogation (Nashk), does not imply a contradiction or flaws in a perfect God, but rather a divine , sequential guidance in succession in which a later verse supersedes an earlier one. This is understood not as a correction of a mistake but a planned rules that were revealed to suit different circumstances, with later verses being presented as a better or similar to earlier ones to fit in the present circumstances. Much like how a teacher progresses through a curriculum in stages. The example of it can be likened to what the Old Testament said on divorce: to just write her a note and hand it to her as a letter of divorce, but the New Testament vehemently opposes that ruling. There is no contradictions at all in the Quran and if there is, we need just one to be pointed out. May Allah be Glorified forever and ever......
