  • Refuting misconception that jinn composed Quran

    I sent you a question yesterday, and you gave a link to some similar fatwas. However, I did not find the answer to my question there. So I am sending it again, and I am sorry to send you so many questions, but it is difficult to find the information from another sourceat the moment, unless you can recommend a book on the subject. Here is the original.. More

  • Drawing circle around oneself does not protect against jinn

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. Dear Scholars, unfortunately, I do not speak Arabic, and there are not many translated Hadith books in my country. I wish to ask you today about a hadith in which it is related that the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,wanted to meet the jinn and decided to take a Companion with him. Later, he,.. More

  • Takfeer is serious matter that is not taken lightly

    Assalaamu alaykum. Why is Takfeer (declaring someone to be a disbeliever) made so easily when it comes to the specific interpretations of Allaah's attributes and names even though the verses and hadiths concerning that are not clear, and as shown throughout Muslim history, open to varying degrees of interpretation? For example, the Mu‘tazilah, Ash‘aris,.. More

  • Mispronouncing name ‘Sayyid’ in jest

    Assalaamu alaykum. So far, I know that my name has been taken from one of the glorious names of Allaah, i.e., 'Al-Sayyid'. Many people jokingly and affectionately call me 'Saadu', or other names, by changing the pronunciation of my name. At times, when someone is angry with me, they also shout at me, changing my name's pronunciation, although they know.. More

  • Ignoring stories about reverts not Kufr

    In my facebook account, I follow many Islamic scholars. One day, I came across a storyfrom one of those scholars about a bartender who converted to Islam. I thought to myself, "Why should I care?" and I did not read the story. Afterwards, I realized that I said that I do not care that a non-Muslim converted to Islam. Is what I did and said Kufr (disbelief)?.. More

  • Who we love more in Paradise is matter of unseen

    Assalaamu alaykum. In heaven, who will we love more, the husband, the wife, or the children? Or do we get to choose? I am asking because there is a verse that says that we will have eyes only for our partners, so does that mean that we will love our partners more than our children? Do we not get a choice? Will we be forced to love our partner more than.. More

  • Souls of believers will be taken to seventh heaven after death

    Assalaamu alaykum. I know that some souls will only be taken to the first or second heaven, so what can we do to in this world so that our soul would be taken up to the seventh heaven after death? I hope to hear from you soon. May Allaah reward you. .. More

  • Asking players to ‘put team first’ not disbelief

    Assalaamu alaykum. I was with my soccer team in a group, and the coach said to "keep putting the team first." If I remain silent in this situation, does this mean that I approve of what he said? I do not know if what he said was disbelief. Is it disbelief by remaining silent in a situation in which there is disbelief present in words or actions? If.. More

  • Satan does not live in Makkah

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. Is it true that Satan lives in Makkah and that the small devils are elsewhere? I heard this from a completely unreliable person, but I want to know whether it is true or not. May Allaah reward you, Shaykh. .. More

  • Prophets' rewards greater than that of martyrs even if they were not martyrs

    Is it true that all Prophets are martyrs and that they will receive the reward of martyrs in the Hereafter from Allah, the Almighty? .. More

  • Playing for team whose logo is ancient idol

    What is the ruling on playing for a soccer team called the Aztecs, named after the ancient civilization? They were known for their polytheism. Also, the logo of the soccer team is an Aztec bird, and I searched for the Aztec bird on Google, and it showed up as a false deity that they used to worship. Obviously, no one on the team really believes in that.. More

  • Angels are inhabitants of heavens

    Assalaamu alaykum. {And (warn of) the Day the Horn will be blown, and whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth will be terrified except whom Allaah wills. And all will come to Him humbled.} [Quran 27:87] What does the word Manin the heavens mean here; angels? Or other beings? .. More

  • Why Allah sent only one Prophet with message of Islam

    Why did Allaah choose to have one Prophet for his messages to people? For Islam, he chose Prophet Mohammed, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. He could have chosen five at the same time to make it easier to deliver the message. This question was passed to me from a nonbeliever who is reading about Islam. .. More

  • Self-inflicted evil eye possible

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. Is it possible that a person affects themselves with their own eye, causing harm through the evil eye of oneself over oneself? I want to know as I have felt that at times I think about a certain thing in me, like a good thing, praise be to Allaah, and then I see some problem with that thing.. More

  • Sharing in price of Hindu idol

    Assalaamu alaykum. During Diwali (Hindu festival of light), I and my Hindu friend were invited to someone’s home. My Hindu friend had purchased an idol of Ganesh as a gift. She had said that we would share the cost of the idol; out of fear that she would feel bad, I did not say anything. I have not given the money yet, is it permissible for me to.. More
