The answer to your question is as follows:

Dyeing white hair is preferable and leaving white hair undyed is also correct. It is recommended to dye hair with colors other than pure black. Dyeing with red colour or henna is masnoon.

You can dye your beard and hair or leave it white, but the hair should be well-groomed and tidy.

The answer to your question is as follows:

According to the experts of Hadith, as the sayings and actions of the Prophet (saws) are called hadith, the same way the sayings and actions of the companions are called hadith. But, the sayings and actions attributed to the Prophet (saws) are called ‘Hadith-e Marfooa’ and the sayings and actions attributed to a companion are called ‘Hadith-e Mauqoof’.

The answer to your question is as follows:

The Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (saws) of two types; Sunnat-e Muakkadah (which the Prophet did persistently) and Sunnat-e Ghair-Muakkadah (which the prophet did but did not do persistently).

Sunnat-e Muakkadah brings a great deal of reward. Hence, it is a sin to abandon the sunnat e muakkadah for no reason. While leaving the sunnat e Ghair muakkadah is not a sin. But the one who neglects this suunah is missing out on a great reward. Acting upon sunnat Ghair Muakkadah is also a virtuous deed, one should follow it too. For detail you had better study the book “Talimul Islam”.

The answer to your question is as follows:

In Islam, the concept of halal and haram is because of the command of Allah (sw). The things which have been declared haram by Allah or by His Prophet (saws) are Haraam forever. The basic concept of Islam is that if a doctor forbids someone from something with valid reason, and the patient refrains from the same. When we follow the prescription of doctor believing that whatever he has prescribed is useful for our health, then Allah Who is the Creator of this universe, if He commands to stay away from something for our physical or spiritual benefits, it is necessary for us to follow His orders. Whatever command we receive from Allah has wisdom behind it, though we know that wisdom or not.

The answer to your question is as follows:

The ruling of all Sunan e Muakkadah (recommended voluntary prayers) including fajr sunnat is that its abandoner will be dubbed sinner i.e. he will deserve punishment. However, it is up to Allah to punish him or forgive.

The answer to your question is as follows:

Whatever you saw in your sleep  whatever you heard from people was true. What you have to do now is that you should try to follow Islamic rules and path completely as the Prophet Muhammad (saws) had taught us. Read Darood Sharif as much as you can. It really brings the blessings of Allah and comforts to the hearts. Trust in Allah and work hard to achieve success in whichever field you need. You are very lucky and will remain lucky if you act upon the Sunnah of the Prophet (saws).
