Saying hurtful things in your mind in moments of anger
Is it a sin to think or say hurtful and mean things about someone in your head when you're angry, but you keep silent and do not utter those hurtful or mean things to anyone and you restrain your anger?

Is it a sin to think or say hurtful and mean things about someone in your head when you're angry, but you keep silent and do not utter those hurtful or mean things to anyone and you restrain your anger? Will Allah punish us for our thoughts? Sometimes I get angry and have to express my anger in my head, but I do not say the hurtful things that that I say in my head to anyone and I always feel remorseful for saying those things in my head after I am not angry anymore.

I dont understand about the time of death
Things I have read so far talk about how the time of death is specific and does not change no matter what as it says in the Quran: >.....And no one’s life is made long or cut short but is ˹written˺ in a Record. That is certainly easy for Allah. [35:11] So that means, that there is no need to pray fo...
Things I have read so far talk about how the time of death is specific and does not change no matter what as it says in the Quran:
>.....And no one’s life is made long or cut short but is ˹written˺ in a Record. That is certainly easy for Allah. [35:11]
So that means, that there is no need to pray for someone to have a long happy life, or to be cured of an illness because your prayers dont change anything? I used to go to this Islam Community thing and the woman there was talking about how when she was giving birth to her first son, she said there were lots of complications and everything, and how everyone thought he was not going to make it. But she said he did, because she had confidence in her prayers. But if the time of death was set, then there was no need for her to pray for him to live, because he would have anyway.
Recently, I get this really horrible feeling that one of my close relatives is going to die (God forbid) im not going to say who because it will be even horrible if I type it out. Its a really terrible feeling and I even started crying today. I prayed for them to have a really long life, so will my prayer change anything? I am really scared of this feeling and I hope Inshallah that it means nothing and is just my brain.

How compatible are Islamic teachings with the “String Theory”?
Many supporters of the String theory argue that there are beings in other Dimensions. Are these arguments compatible with the Teachings of Islam? Are there “higher” dimensional beings in Islam?

How is farz ghusl done exactly?
This has been on my mind for a while and I have looked at several explanations but I’m still confused. Are we supposed to wash our private parts first and then the whole body once?

This has been on my mind for a while and I have looked at several explanations but I’m still confused. Are we supposed to wash our private parts first and then the whole body once? Or are we not allowed to touch it during ghusl? Sometimes I am under difficult circumstances and I can’t do the sunnah but I really don’t know how the shorter version works. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me EXACTLY what to do just for farz. Also, not sure if it’s important to know for this but I’m female.

I know islam doesn’t encourage you to live a luxurious life or waste money on worldly things, rather donate and help the poor! I really don't want my business/income to be haram. I don't post any haram content on my page (i.e. music, women, nudity). I usually would be posting pictures & videos of cars,watches etc. Will i be sinful to run a business like this?
Please answer wisely! May Allah Bless You & keep your family healthy & safe <3

Quranic or linguistic support that قعود is longer than جلوس
In [this](https://youtu.be/VflheeIQAoA) video it's claimed that قعود is longer than جلوس. It's the translation/interpretation of surah Ma'idah, ayah 5: >قَالُوا۟ يَـٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَن نَّدْخُلَهَآ أَبَدًۭا مَّا دَامُوا۟ فِيهَا ۖ فَٱذْهَبْ أَنتَ وَرَبُّكَ فَقَـٰتِلَآ إِنَّا هَـٰهُنَا قَـٰعِدُونَ...

Is it appropriate to avoid family members who don't practice, and whose behavior is "evil"?

I am a Muslim who has family members which are not practicing Islam. They have witnessed clear signs of Allah like someone being possessed with Jinn and reacting to the recitation of the Qur'an but they turned away and did not change their ways. They still persist in sin and transgression in forms like: Not praying (some not praying at all while others pray irregularly), drinking alcohol, not covering themselves, going to the magicians and asking them, spraying water of magicians in their homes, celebrating the festivals of the disbelievers, making friends with them, not attending Jumah, completely shaving the beards.
They claim to be Muslims and they saw clear signs of Allah that they need to return but still refuse. I fear for myself because they are involved in going to the magicians and I fear that they may harm me because of their superstitious lifestyle. They accused me of being the cause of their problems although I am a practicing Muslims who does not visit magicians and causes harm to the people. Alhamdulillah.
They accused me and my mother in the past of horrible things and we are not sure if it is safe to go to them because of them being involved in going to magicians. They started to sever ties by not helping us in times of hardship and ignoring our problems and not visiting us during these times. It is almost 4,5 years that these people persist in sin and transgression and severing ties. They are today basically known for their evil and this is why we avoid them. My and mother have developed a deep hatred for the sake of Allah because these people commit sins openly during the day and they don't care.
Is it permissible for me to avoid them as long as they don't repent to Allah and mend their ways? Or am I sinful? These people know about prayer, fasting and so on but they refuse to practice Islam correctly out of their own choice not because of ignorance.

I have several times read in, probably, right wing, media that the motivation for the Muslim veil (and general requirement that women must not "show skin") is sexist towards men. IIRC, the reasoning usually goes something like this: there are suras, verses or sunnahs (or other sources of similar importance) that suggest that women need to cover up in general, and with a veil in particular, because otherwise men won't be able to control their lust.
Is this true? In what sources is this prescribed? Are there any "counter-claims"?

Although there is a suggestion to find a Sufi teacher in the answer
https://islam.stackexchange.com/a/39348/51761 , I am looking for if Islam (Quran and Hadiths etc) suggests or mentions any ways to meditate, mindfulnes, gratitude, spirituality, concentration, feeling connected with God or universe, etc. other than just prayers and chants.
P.S. I am a spiritually inclined person. What does Islam suggests about me?
Update: @Muhammad Haneef's answer says there is not as such any thing as meditation in Islam. But if a Muslim practices some other sort of meditation (such as nowadays mindfulness meditation used in mainstream therapeutic psychology) does Islam forbids that practice? Or if a Muslim learns Yoga or some other sort of meditation, does the religion restricts him or her for doing so? Would it be seen as trying to modify or add on over the Quran? or these will be seen as just some permissible secular techniques?

I rade a hadith which said you are not accountable for whatever crosses your mind so does this mean even if a person intentionally thinks of a sin in his mind but doesn't do it, will it still be not counted as a sin?
