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......

HOW CAN MUSLIMS CLAIM THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE QURANIC PRESERVATION WHEN SOME MANUSCRIPTS OF THE QUR'AN DIFFERS AMONGST THE COMPANIONS.......
The history of the preservation of the Qur'an has been studied and written about by muslims and non muslims extensively. The Qur'anic preservation process is in a class by itself, and no religion can claim perfection of their books the way the Qur'an has.
Countless believers have memorized the Qur'an word for word across the globe, and continue to do so today. This has been the tradition of Muslims from the very first day the Qur'an started decending to the Prophet Mohammad. The muslims have the luxury of listening to the recitation of the Qur'an by the Prophet, which also makes it easy for them to memorize the Qur'an.
Yes there are some variations in the style of writing of the Qur'an in the choice of letters, but that does not change the meaning of the verses or compromise the integrity of the verses. Taking into consideration that the Qur'an was not revealed on so.e parchment or writ, it was rather verbally revealed. Here are some examples: B'cos- Because; Favor-Favour; Honor-Honour...etc. Like I said it doesn't compromise the meaning of the words indeed. During the Chaliphate of Usman, the leading Sahabas came together and corrected the variant readings with variation, and unified, codified and standardized the Qur'anic scripts conforming the Quraishi dialect following strict rules of how the Qur'an came down. Since that period, few years after the demised of the Holy Prophet and the Qur'an remain so for over 1400 years, again no religious scripture has enjoyed this perfect preservation except Islam.....

WHY ARE SOME COSMOLOGICAL AND EMBRYOLOGICAL VERSES VAGUE AND OP3N TO INTERPRETATION?.....
Yes there are verses of cosmology, geology, embryology and few others that seems to be open to interpretation because they were revealed in a pre-scientific era, using languages that would be understood at the time, rather than technical modern terms.
The meaning of these verses quickly becomes clearer as modern scientific discoveries such as the stages of embryonic development emerged, allowing for new and fresh interpretation and a deeper understanding of the text. The Qur'an stated: This Qur'an is for the whole of mankind, and as time goes on, they will come to understand its truthfulness ". Just to mention, the Qur'an is not a book of science but the Creator has left certain finger prints to showcase its divine origin.....

THE QURAN ASKED THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK TO JUDGE BY WHAT WAS REVEALED UNTO THEM...
(Does it mean the Qur'Qur'an affirming the Christians have their original books with them)?....
Taking into consideration that both the OT and NT has been changed drastically by its custodians, it nevertheless asked the people of the book ti judge by what was revealed unto them, they cannot since they dont have the original revelations, and its so evident that each group have their particular Bible they believe in. Like the Catholic Bible of 73 books, the protestant church with 66 books, the Amenian with 88 books in their Bible, the Greek orthodox with 81 books and the Jehovah Witness have a peculiar Bible. Which Holy Ghost inspired them differently? Why the confusion?
So by default, since Christians have no leg to stand upon other that accepting the Qur'an which is here to confirm that which was revealed before it ie the Torah and the Gospel.
And the fact that the Christians dont have the original books given to the., but rather the Scribes and others have changed it to fit their tradition. This is what the Bible also said in Jeremiah 8:8...
" HOW can you say we are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us still, when infact the lying pen of the Scribes has turned it into a lie"
Finally, the only book revealed without a y human elements in it for over 1400 years is the Holy Qur'an. A source of guidance leading straight to the Kingdom of God in Heaven......

WHY DID ALLAH CREATE SOME PEOPLE BEAUTIFUL AND OTHERS UGLY?........
From the Islamic point of view, the existence of both beauty and ugliness is within the broader context of Allahs wisdom and d its part of pur test on earth.
Just like health and sickness, rich and poor, happiness and sadness, black and white, so is also beauty and ugliness. Islam prefers to focus on inner beauty than physical beauty.
The Prophet said: Allah does not look at your beauty, richness, status in public, but rather your heart" May Allah make it easy for us.......
