Is it necessary to perform a separate ablution before every prayer?
I have searched but didn't get any exact hadiths related to it that more than one prayer can be offer in one ablution or we have to perform a separate ablution for every prayer.

Is there nobody in Jannah (paradise) yet?
I saw this question https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/27802/17163 which talks about people going to Jannah (paradise) after the Day of Judgement.

I saw this question https://islam.stackexchange.com/q/27802/17163 which talks about people going to Jannah (paradise) after the Day of Judgement. The current answers talk about Prophet Muhammad being the first (or among the first) to enter Jannah.
If I've understood the answers correctly, even the Prophet Muhammad has to wait until the Day of Judgement. This has the implication that there is nobody currently in Jannah. Perhaps it exists and is vacant, or it hasn't yet been created.
A hadith was quoted:
> Anas b. Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: I will come to the gate of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection. and would seek its opening. and the keeper would say: Who art thou? I would say: Muhammad. He would then say: It is for thee that I have been ordered, and not to open it for anyone before thee. -- Sahih Muslim 197 (sunnah.com )
(I'm not confident if I understood all this correctly.)
**Question**: Is there nobody in Jannah (paradise) yet?

Bank IT Job if the Salary is not Given by the Bank

As-Salamu Alaykum.
I am in a dilemma right now.
I know that to be considered a halal income source, two conditions must be satisfied:
1. The work itself is not haram.
2. The salary must be from halal source.
I have done some research and it's seems that there are different views regarding bank jobs that do not involve dealing with interest directly, like guard job, programmer etc. But even those scholars who support these types of jobs say that it's better to avoid.
The question I have is that if I work in a bank as a programmer or as a maintenance engineer and ***I am paid directly by the government and not by the bank***, then would my job be considered completely halal? Will my earnings be considered **completely halal** and not **predominantly halal?**
And also is it halal to work in Capital Market related jobs (investment banking, stock market, asset management)?

If Arabs were no nation, how did Arabic become the language of the Quran?
From history I came to know that before Islam the Arabs wer not considered a nation but any types of nomads people were called Arabs. How come Arabic is called a language in the Quran when the Arabs were not a nation?

How do I repent from swearing by something other than Allah, without knowing it amounts to shirk?
Three weeks ago, I first heard about the sin of shirk. I read about it, and I found that swearing by anything other than Allah is shirk. I sometimes used to swear by my mother. Can Allah forgive me if I repent?

Let's say Y is a boy. His parents are not married. His father left his mother as soon as she gave birth to Y. Then Y's mother was punished for committing adultery and she repented to Allah and married a man. Can Y introduce his mom's husband as his dad? If not then what will he tell people if they ask about their father? According to Islam, you are not allowed to tell you are son of someone who isn't your father.

Is it acceptable to verbalize inshallah when messaging about intended acts?
This morning I messaged a friend "I'll be there" but I didn't write "inshallah" (as per [Qur'an 18:23-24][1]) in the text, instead verbalizing it (i.e., saying "inshallah", instead of including it in the text).

This morning I messaged a friend "I'll be there" but I didn't write "inshallah" (as per Qur'an 18:23-24 ) in the text, instead verbalizing it (i.e., saying "inshallah", instead of including it in the text). I'm worried this is incorrect, and I'd like to correct this behaviour in the future.
**Question**: Is it acceptable to verbalize inshallah when messaging about intended acts?
I found this as part of an online fatwa:
> Finally, I would advise that while sending messages through SMS or email, one should always write in sha' Allah (ان شاء الله). -- Abu al-Fadl Muhammad Nau'man Shiraz al-Qadiri al-'Iraqi (link )
But the context from that fatwa is not this particular question. As such, it's unclear whether the author is intending to only say "using SMS, etc., does not exempt you from saying inshallah". (And it's an isolated opinion on some website, without referencing the Qur'an or Sunnah.)

For example, if Maliki and Hanbalis differ in something, does that mean all Malakis agree in the opinion or just a few and same with the other madhhab?

And after blood donation, he managed the transportation. He dropped me at my home. When I was at the gate of my house, he gave me a good amount of money. I did not want to take this but he put it in my hand and insisted. He said to me, "*Have some fruits purchased.*" So, was it permissible?
