Allah (SWT) Knows the whole past, present and future deeds. Those who will do more good according to the Knowledge of Allah, will be more blessed. So, it is determined by their actions and by the Will of Allah (SWT) Who is The Mist Merciful.

Isha . Food . Believers . Sahaba (Companions) . God (Allah) . Paradise

Did the companions of Isa (AS), to whom Allah sent down food from paradise, die as believers?

We have in some books that some of the companions of Easa (AS) were not grateful to the bounty of Allah Who Sent to them a table of food from the sky for them. Sura Al-Ma'idah, verse 115 mentioned: Allah Said: I am going to send it down unto you, but if any one of you after that disbelieves, then I will punish him with a torment which I have not inflicted on anyone among all the mankind).

Poor . Believers . Food . Kaffara . Oath

I live in a non-Muslim country where it is hard to find poor believers to feed. There are Islamic food banks, but they only accept cash. Can I pay them in cash to fulfil my Kaffara for a broken oath?

Feeding Kaffara must be given as food to poor believer and not cash. If you don't have access to ooor believers where you live, you can send the Kaffara to other places where poor believers can be fed.

Food banks usually give food to public with out the condition of faith, that is why, it is not allowed to give Kaffara to them, but you can give them general charity or donation for feeding general public.

Grave . Garden . Paradise . Believers . Body . Hadith . Burial . Mayyit

The narrations speak of the grave as a garden of paradise for the believers and that it is extended and expanded for them. It is the same material grave in which we bury the dead body?

It is the same grave which the dead believer buried in. He feels and enjoys the paradise bounties even if his physical body turns to soil but he remains in his soul and spirit feels the happiness.

Believers . Sunni . Salah (Prayers) . Salatul Layl . Du'a (Supplication) . Sunni-Shi'a . Friendship

In Salat al-Layl when I have to make Dua for 40 believers, should they just be Shia people or may I also mention a couple of good Sunni friends as well?

We seek forgiveness for every believer in Allah, the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS). Muslims friends who were born in non Shia families and have high regards for Ahlul Bayt need our prayers to understand the real position of Ahlul Bayt in Islam as the divine leaders after the Prophet (SAWA).
