Islamic Religious Knowledge Questions and Answers

Unlike any other book, the Quran is taught by God (Q55:1-2); He teaches us what we need at the time we need it. This is why we read the Quran hundreds of times without getting bored. We can read a novel, for example, only once. But the Quran can be read an infinite number of times, and we derive new and valuable information from it every time.

The Quran is a singular source of knowledge and wisdom. It is the best source of information. It sheds light on why some things are the way they are, and enables us to understand the meaning of things, in order to be able to look past appearance and make judicious decisions.
[Q16:89] ...We have revealed to you this book to provide explanations for everything, and guidance, and mercy, and good news for the submitters (Muslims).

Tayammum (Arabic: تيمم‎) is the Islamic act of dry Ritual purification using a purified sand or dust, which may be performed in place of ritual washing (wudu or ghusl) if no clean water is readily available or if one is suffering from moisture-induced skin inflammation or scaling.
"O you who believe! When you intend to offer As-Salat (the prayer), wash your faces and your hands (forearms) up to the elbows, rub (by passing wet hands over) your heads, and (wash) your feet up to ankles. If you are in a state of Janaba (i.e. after a sexual discharge), purify yourselves (bathe your whole body). But if you are ill or on a journey, or any of you comes after answering the call of nature, or you have been in contact with women (i.e. sexual intercourse), and you find no water, then perform tayammum with clean earth and rub therewith your faces and hands. Allah does not want to place you in difficulty, but He wants to purify you, and to complete His Favour to you that you may be thankful."
