    Is it allowed to say that a sin os beautiful or good or what is similar to that? For example: saying, "Fornication is beautiful" or "Alcohol is good" intending to say good about the state of drunkennes or not.

  • Promising people to intercede for them on Day of Judgment

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. There is a weak hadith that states that the memorizer of the Quran will be able to take ten people to paradise with him. Before finding out that this hadith was weak, I promised someone that he will be from those ten (as I have memorised the Book of Allaah - and all praise is due to Him). Now, knowing.. More

  • Being forced to utter words of Kufr

    Assalaamu alaykum, Shaykh. I know that if a person is forced to utter words of Kufr (disbelief) while his life is threatened (he will be killed), he can utter those words while his heart is sure in faith. Now, I want to ask, if the property and honor of a Muslim are in danger and he is asked to utter words of Iufr or he will lose his property and honor,.. More

  • Unknowns of Paradise greater than knowns

    Assalaamu alaykum, Sheikh. Can you please explain the wording 'is nothing', Allaah willing? Abu Hurayrah narrated that the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,said, “Allaah said, 'I have prepared for My pious worshipers such things as no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard of, and nobody has ever imagined. All that is reserved, besides.. More

  • Joking in uttering words of disbelief unacceptable

    There is a Muslim guy whom I know who said really bad things about Islam to someone, presumably pretending to be an atheist. He said really bad things, like "Your God wants you to do His dirty work;" and that the Madrassahs are universities of ignorance and that "your Prophet" must be held responsible for this (we seek refuge from Allaah from such speech)...

  • Forbidden love for woman not polytheistic in nature

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question regarding verse 2:165 in the Quran. In this verse, Allaah talks about loving others as they love Allaah. What does this mean? If someone is in a haram relationship while knowing that it is haram and does not end it, does that mean that he loves that person as he loves Allaah, or is he safe from disbelief as long.. More

  • Doing something that mocks religion without intention to mock is not disbelief

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Please let me know; if a person does an act which he thinks may be mockery of the religion yet he continued doing it but did not intend mockery by it. Is there a possibility that it may be disbelief? .. More

  • Zamhareer is section of Hellfire

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have some questions about the cold section named Zamhareer in Hellfire. Why was it created? Is it more severe than the fire? Was it created to punish those who deserve a more severe punishment? Is it the most severe punishment in Hell? Does it have a different kind of purpose than that of the fire? Is the punishment different than.. More

    Assalaamu alaykum. What is the ruling on those who say ‘Bismillaah’ (in the name of Allaah) before doing a sin or say ‘Alhamdulillaah’ (Praise be to Allah)after commiting a sin? .. More

  • Existence of doppelgangers

    Assalaamu alaykum. Lately, in the past weeks, I have been seeing someone whom I know, but they are not the person whom I know. Does Allaah create another human being (their vessel) to be similar to another human being, except that their soul is different? Another word for this is doppelgänger. .. More

  • Predicting future looks of babies through aging pictures

    Shaikh, with technological advantages, some people are making pictures of future adult/teenager/old-aged faces of a person who is a baby or an infant at present based on the features of the baby's face. Is this some kind of fortune telling? And if a person who prays shows interest in that, are all their prayers invalid for 40 days? How can they continue.. More

  • Using names of days and months derived from Roman gods

    Assalaamu alaykum. I recently came to know that Muslims are not allowed to wear/use products with the Nike logo because she was an ancient greek Goddess. I have stopped using such products, but I am confused because we do use the names of the days, like Sunday, Saturday, Monday, etc. These days were named after the Roman gods! January was named after.. More

  • People questioning one's faith

    Assalaamu alaykum. I am Muslim by birth, and I do practice the pillars of Islam, but most people I meet always refuse to accept the fact that I am Muslim. In fact, in my heart, I am Muslim. I always feel sad when people ask about my religion and I tell them that I am Muslim and they deny my belief. Please advise me, because I am very sad to hear that.. More

  • Polytheists of Makkah believed in Tawheed Ar-Ruboobiyyah

    Did the polytheists of Makkah believe in Allaah's Oneness of Lordship? I read the fatwa of Shaykh Ibn Baz as well as Muhammed Ibn Abdul Wahab's fatwa in which he claimed that the Polytheists of Makkah believed in Allaah's Oneness of Lordship but did not singled out Allaah, The Exalted, in worship. Is this statement correct? If it is, then what about.. More
