    I am trying to build a spiritual connection with Almighty Allah but I don’t know how relaxed I should be because of how merciful God is, and I don’t know how fearful I should be because of how severe He is in punishment.

    The religious texts indicate that the believer is urged to balance between fear and hope, so he should not deem himself secure from the scheme of Allah, nor should he despair from the mercy of Allah. If this is done, the individual will have the motivation towards obedience because his hope in the mercy makes him convinced in the advantage of the action; and his fear from the wrath of Almighty Allah makes him avoid the sins.

    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).

    How can we know that one Mujtahid is most knowledgeable?

    The scholars have mentioned in their treatises of practical Islamic laws the ways to determine the most knowledgeable, and one of those ways to is to refer to the people of expert (known as the ahl-ul-khibrah) who can differentiate between mujtahids and determine the most knowledgeable.

    I have heard that one should not have the marriage contract in the month of Shawwal, or during the period between the two Eids. Is this correct?

    This is not prohibited.
