Why did God create Shaytan if He is Just?
Sayyed Muhammad Husaini Ragheb

Satan was not created a Satan as he is now with the devilish power. For many years he was a companion and associate of the the angels. He misused his position and power, and began to rebel against goodness and truth, and started doing wrong and evil and finally turned to what it is now. On the other hand; SATAN can systematically not harm or seduce a

believer unless he is obeyed. As for those who wish to tread the path of truth SATAN is a means of manifesting, and bringing to action the possibilities and hidden power of man; for evolution always establishes through contraction and conflicts.

So creation of Satan as a Jinn who used to worship Allah for a long time before creation of Adam has nothing to do with Injustice.
Is it normal to find my chosen career, which I have dedicated the past 15+ years for the sake of Allah, to be extremely stressful, even though I did Istikhara and the decision was to remain in this field?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is good to follow the advice of the Istekhara. Wassalam 
How can I use Quranic verses and Ahle Sunnah literature to counter my friend's belief in Allah SWT having limbs, where he has referenced Quran 5:64?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Quranic verses in any subject can not be taken separately from few Verses but we must read all the verses on the specific subject. Limbs in Arabic language do not necessarily means the superficial linguistic meaning but it means also the power of Allah which above all. Allah said in Quran in a very clear verse: Nothing is like Allah. (ليس كمثله شيء) Sura Al-Shura, verse 11. This verse refutes every claim of those who misunderstood Quranic verses regarding Allah (SWT).

Most if Sunni Ulama say that Allah is above materialistic imaginations of people and don't accept the claims of Mujassimah who are today the awahabi sect. Mujassimah are condemned by most of a Sunni scholars.

Do sins require continual repentance, or is repenting once to God enough? Should the person involved be sought for forgiveness? Does a sense of peace after repentance signify divine forgiveness or is it merely psychological relief?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

We need to continuously seek forgiveness and never think that our sins have been omitted. In Quran we read blame on the person who claims that his sins have been omitted just because his hardship has gone away. Sura Hud, verse 10.
