I read that to increase faith and make dua the most of it, is to read quran everyday which makes sense. But does reading one Ayah a day from the Quran count?

Clearly Allah mentions in the Quran that those who do not believe in the religion of Islam will abide in hell. But one needs to ponder over the existence of God before accepting it. Many brilliant scientists reject the existence of God. Richard Dawkins,who is an evolutionary biologist has pretty solid logics against the exist ce of God.Will he still go to hell since he couldn't be convinced that Islam is the proper religion and unlike other kafirs and musrikhs,he didn't worship idols rather he thought about the existence of a supernatural creator.

Is it true that Khalid ibn Sa'id ibn al-'As converted to Islam before Abu Bakr, and the first person who, according to Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr - and dozens of scholars and historians to convert to Islam - was Imam Ali (as)? If he confessed this fact in a letter to Mu'awiyah and Umar also converted to Islam before Abu Bakr and Abu Bakr converted to Islam after fifty years. If these things are true, why do we turn the truth upside down so much? And we constantly say that the first man to convert to Islam was Abu Bakr. Do we mean by these forgeries and lies to carve out more virtues for the first caliph, or is it important for us to deny the virtues of Imam Ali (as)? 1- Letter from Abu Bakr's son: ((So he was the first to answer, repent, believed, believed, agreed, and embraced Islam. His brother and cousin Ali, and he is the forerunner of all good, the first people to embrace Islam)).(1) 2- Abu al-Yaqzan says: Khalid bin Saeed bin Al-Aas embraced Islam before Abu Bakr as-Siddiq.(2) 3- Saad and Qas say: Abu Bakr was not the first to become a Muslim, but more than fifty people became Muslims before him.(3) 4- Zohri says: Omar converted to Islam after forty-one men and women.(4) (1): Explanation of Nahj al-Balagha 3: 188. (2): Al-Mustadrak Ali Al-Sahiheen 3: 278. (3): Muhammad bin Saad, I said to my father: Was Abu Bakr the first of you a Muslim? He said: No, and he embraced Islam more than fifty before him... The history of Tabari 1:540. (4): The History of Islam (The Prophet’s Biography) 180 - Tabaqat Ibn Saad 3: 269 - Sifat al-Safwa 1: 274.

> And unto Allah (Alone) falls in prostration whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and so do their shadows in the mornings and in the afternoons. 13:15 http://quran.com/13/15 http://tanzil.net/#13:15 But, there are a lot of people who don't care to fall in prostration to Allah. Taking the worst case example of atheists. So, where am I going wrong? Interested in Sunni explanation.

There is a hadith narrated in At-Tirmidhi and it states that it is *hasan gharib*. > Thawban (ra) said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Whoever says when he reaches the evening: “I am pleased with Allah as (my) Lord, with Islam as (my) religion, and with Muhammad (ﷺ) as (my) Prophet (Raḍītu bi-Llāhi rabban, wa bil-Islāmi dīnan, wa bi-Muḥammadin nabiyyan) it is a duty upon Allah to please him.’” (Hasan Gharib) But in the book of An-Nawawi (Kitab al-Adhkar - Book of Rememberances), I am reading this: "Its isnad includes Said ibn al-Marzuban Abu Sad [...] who is considered weak[, ...] however, [He] considered this to be a *hasan sahih* hadith which is unusual in this narration; so perhaps it was *sahih* in his view from another narration." Those are confusing statements to me, and I would like to know if there are further information or commentaries regarding this issue from other scholars?

**Is there any perspective that, we can say/call Shia Muslim or Sunni Muslim?
