Assalaamu alaykum Shaykh. I read that we Muslims are obligated to believe that Christians, Jews and other people who do not follow Islam are Kafirs (disbelievers) and cannot doubt their Kufr (disbelief). I also know that we believe that when proof has been established against these people and they refuse Islam and do not repent and after that they die,.. More
I have heard that you claim in your fatwa that nothing resembles Paradise except in name only? Does this mean that the descriptions are simply analogies and are not meant to be taken literally? If so, then what is the purpose of the description? What have the scholars said?

Assalaamu alaykum. I have heard so many times of all the gold and other precious things in heaven, but I do not understand what their purpose is. Gold is for the use of buying things, so why would people value gold and other such precious things in heaven? Also, what is life in heaven like? I have many hobbies in life that I enjoy in my spare time,.. More
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I was looking for a hadith about the Dajjaal(Antichrist) in which the Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,told us that if we see the Dajjaal we should recite Soorah Al-Kahf, spit on him, flee from him, and hide in a hole, even if we see a snake in that hole. This was related to me by.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. I sent you a question (2612148) regarding a hadith that says that Houris have large, round breasts that are not inclined to dangle (Jami At-Tirmidhi vol. 2 p. 35-40). I found that on internet and Wikipedia (HOURI). I downloaded the complete Tirmidhi (from Sunnah.com), but I could not find it there. As a common man, I am unable to.. More
Assalaamu alaykum Brother. I was just wondering why God will judge all of us at the same time when everyone is dead. Why does He not send us to heaven or hell and judge us as soon as we die instead of doing everyone on the Day of Judgement, if you know what I mean? May Allaah reward you.

How many degrees are there in Paradise, and what is difference between Al-Firdaws and Al-Waseelah (a degree that is attained only by our Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam,Allaah willing)? Is Al-Waseelah in Al-Firdaws.

“Whoever controls his anger when he is able to act upon it, Allaah will call him to come in front of all of the Creation to let him choose from the Hoor Al-ʻAyn (women of Paradise) and marry from them whomever he pleases.” [‘Sahih al-Jami’ #6518] Those who will enter Paradise without reckoning will also get this reward, will they come back..

Assalaamu alaykum Brother. I was just wondering, if Allaah created us to test us, then why are children not tested? Why does God let them die young and does He not let them live to test them because it does not make any sense? Or is it possible that some humans did not accept the test, like the animals and angels? Is that a possibility, that some humans.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. My mom and my brother went to my dad's gravethe other day, and they found two holes just under his headstone. My brother filled two buckets of soil to to cover the holes, but it did not cover all of it. My mum asked a shaykh, and he said something like that it must be a punishment because of his children's sins. Is this true? My dad.. More
In a hadith, it is mentioned that the residents of paradise will enter Paradise in the best form, with white skin, but are the denizens of hell not white skinned as well? Ibn kathir writes that Al-A`mash related that Ibn `Umar said, “When their skin is burned, they will be given another skin in replacement, and this skin will be white as paper.”.. More
Assalaamu alaykum. If Allaah did not help the disbeliever/sinner/unjust in the past, will He help them today? Fir'awn (the Pharaoh) and Namrood used all the available resources to claim divinity in the past, will the Dajjaal be provided with his vehicle - i.e. a weird and powerful donkey, as mentioned in the hadiths - by Allah to help him spread afflictions?..
