I want to get into fashion illustration. Am I allowed to draw the human figure without the head. Is it permissible to add the head if I don’t put any details on the face such as eyes, nose and mouth?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Drawing an incomplete human figure is allowed.

Adding a head with out eyes, nose and mouth is also allowed.

Wassalam. 
How do we know that Islam is real and that the Quran is not just written by a human?
Amina Inloes

In addition to the answer previously given, another thing to consider is that although the Qur'an references certain events in the Prophet's time, it speaks in a universal manner that is accessible to any reader, regardless of their society or era. It is very difficult for a human author, especially one who is not from an area with diversity and a high level of education available, to do this.

Also, when you consider the way that the Qur'anic texts unfolds, the style of speech is not the same that a human would use when organising a book; for instance, the conception of time is more overarching, as it would be from the divine perspective. 

Some people also consider the presence of scientific or numerical miracles to be convincing evidence. 

Ultimately this is something one can also look at the text and get a sense of!
How do we know that Islam is real and that the Quran is not just written by a human?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Islam is The real Message from Allah to guide all human beings. This fact is clear for every one who studies Quran and the sayings of the Prophet and Ahlul Bayt.

Quran has challenged all the enemies of Islam who doubt the authenticity of Quran being from Allah or from a human, to bring a book like Quran with the help of their supporters from Jinns and humans. They failed to bring any book like Quran. Quran then challenged them to bring ten chapters like any if the 114 chapters of Quran. They failed again. Then Quran challenged them to bring just one chapter like any Quranic chapters. They failed as well. This is a living evidence that Quran can never be written by a human.

Does every human being have a soul? Is anyone exempt or excused from the Resurrection?
Amina Inloes

Yes, every human being has a soul. No, no one is exempted from the Resurrection. If anyone claims otherwise, they are lying or confused.
