Day Questions

Why did God create humans? Did he want to achieve his goal that humans should worship and love him willingly?

The Holy Quran states clearly the reason for creating humanity: "I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me." (51:56)

I am researching about Shia Islam. My wife is Sunni and is not interested in studying Shia Islam. I want to know if she is still considered a Muslim.

Anybody who submits to the religion of Islam with the two testimonies is a Muslim, provided there is no animosity against any of the Imams (peace be upon them). Iman depends on believing in the Wilayah of the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them).

Can you please explain what masturbation is? If a person has masturbated in the past without knowing that it is forbidden, will he have to repeat the prayers?

Masturbation is stimulating the genitalia for the sake of ejaculation. This is prohibited. But if a person was unaware of it being prohibited, then God may overlook this. If ejaculation occurs, then the person enters the state of janabah, and he is required to undertake the ghusl. If he did not do so, the prayers after that will be invalid. If he undertakes ghusl for another reason, e.g. the ghusl of Friday, the state of janabah ends and the prayers after this ghusl are valid until he enters the state of janabah through masturbation again. He will need to repeat those prayers that were invalid because of the failure to do ghusl.

Must I raise my hands at the end of the prayer three times after Tasleem?

The prayer ends with Tasleem, and it is recommended to recite Takbeer three times after the prayer, raising the hands each time.
