Salam Sister,

Am I allowed to read library books to improve my English language. There is a Qur'anic ayat that say every word that you utter there is an angel writing it all down.

And there are hadeeth that say speak good or keep silt.

My question is when i read library books to improve my English and the words that i utter will that be my bad deeds because it is useless talking is't it?

Reading text books that have nothing to do with islam e.g you are studying at college or university and you are studying Computers and you learn and read the computer books. on the day of judgment will that reading and uttering of the text book which has got nothing to do with Islam, be on the bad side of the scale or good side of the scale on the day of judgement?

Second question is, i know that going to college and university without free mixing is allowed in islam.

but going to school's, college's and universities which there is free mixing and may be your teacher is a female if you are a male student or if you are a female student and your teacher may be a male student. and in class you have to commuicate with each other on work.

My question relating to this is, is free mixing at any school's or college's allowed in islam even if you are desperate for gaining qualifations to find a job and to look after your family or support your family?

Some brother tell me that it is mujboori meaning necessary.

third question is even if you are at college. I see many muslim brother and sister doing alot of evil if you understand what i mean and i don't do anything and i ignore it and carry on with my work shouldn't i enjoy good and forbid evil? And if i don't what is the islamic punishment?

(Please can you answer the question and i apozise if these are long questions)

Salam from Ibrar

As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

There is nothing wrong with reading books of technology or books of other subjects other than islam that will be of benefit. As Muslims we should have knowledge of technology and other things of the world, in addition to our knowledge of our religion. The types of books one should stay away from are books of fiction and the like which do not benefit one in any way.

In regards to the mixing of men and women in university, many scholars say that as longs as the proper rules of dress and adhab are followed then there is nothing wrong with learning in a mixed environment such as college.

Also, remember that no one is held accountable for the sins of someone else. If others around you are committing sins such as Zina and the like, you are not held accountable for what they do. If they are Muslims whom you know then you can remind them of the words of Allah and his prophet in regards to the consequences of those who disobey their commands. Other than that, there is nothing else you can do. Remember, Only Allah makes Muslims and make sure that you stay away from that which is haraam.

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
