  • Asking dead to make supplication is not polytheism but religious innovation

    I have been married for 8 months now. My husband told me that he asked a person in their grave to supplicate for him once or twice a long time ago. He told me about this incident after our marriage, and I told him that it constitutes polytheism. So he immediately sought forgiveness and considered it to be polytheism. My question is whether our marriage.. More

  • Joking about sins does not necessarily mean apostasy

    Assalaamu alaykum scholars. Having fun with religious concepts does not necessarily entail apostasy, does it? I have a family member who is religious, and he is funny, and from time to time, he makes jokes in which religious concepts may be involved but without intending to mock them. For instance, he said to me, “Had I known that you had money in.. More

  • Loving non-Muslim country

    What do you say about loving a non m-Muslim country if one is sitting in a muslim land? There may be just and upright people among the disbelievers who do not fight the Muslims. So if one loves their country or says that their country is beautiful, what do you say about this? May Allah reward you with the best rewards. .. More

  • Threat of not entering Paradise for one who believes in sorcerers

    I want to ask the following: if a person suspects that magic or a spell has been placed on him or anyone else, is it right to say, "I think that this hinderance is due to magic or a spell"? We sometimes say things like that. I read a hadith from which I understood that whoever believes in magic will not enter paradise. Please explain. .. More

  • Man was not given choice to enter Paradise directly before living in this world

    Assalaamu alaykum. Is it true that Allah, the Exalted, asked each and every person before sending them to the world whether they want to go to the world and earn Paradise through their own deeds or rather they just pass and go to Paradise? Is there any reference of such thing in the Quran or Hadith? .. More

  • Doubting reality of the world and of Islam

    Assalaamu alaykum. I had some doubt regarding the reality of the world around me after reading a science article which stated that things are not real and are a mere dream. So then I thought: is Islam for real? Is my wife whom I married real? So I had a doubt, but my heart was not at rest, and I wanted to believe that Islam was real. I researched this.. More

  • Fear of Dajjaal (Antichrist) natural

    Assalaamu alaykum. My question is regarding Shirk (polytheism) in fear. Recently, I was reading about the powers which the Dajjaal has. I know that nothing can effect us unless Allah wills. I know that he is a false messiah. However, when I try to do something bad regarding him, like abusing him, I feel fear, as if he may harm me. I do not know all.. More

  • Natural fear is not sinful

    I shared a video posted by someone which shows a sting operation disclosing such-and-such to be liable for a Muslim massacre, but these are old clips, and the culprit has now been set free by the supreme court, so I immediately deleted the video thinking that I might face a legal notice of defamationion of that individual, as he has been given a clean..

  • Impermissibility of contributing to non-Muslim religious festivals in any way

    Assalaamu alaykum. I study in college, where the higher-posted people are non-Muslims, and the students are organising functions of their religion in which they worship idols, and they started asking for money as a contribution. I refused in the beginning, but then they again came and said that I have to give the money. I told them that I would, but.. More

  • Ibn Taymiyyah quoted Ad-Daarimi about The Throne

    Assalaamu alaykum. Someone quoted Ibn Taymiyyah as saying in his book Bayaan Tablis Al-Jahmiyyah(1/568), "If Allah had willed He could have settled on a mosquito, and it (the mosquito) would have found Him (Allah) light (or it would have carried him on its back). Could you please explain this statement and how it does not contradict the majesty and.. More

  • Believing Darwin's theory about origin of man amounts to disbelief

    Is belief that humans evolved out of monkeys a belief that takes one out of the fold of Islam? I have seen Islamic websites refute this theory, but I have not seen any that say that believing in this is an act of disbelief, so I am confused. .. More

  • Attempting to reconcile Theory of Evolution with Islamic beliefs

    Respected Shaykh. What is the status of someone who, in an attempt to reconcile the theory of evolution with the Islamic narrative of human origins, states that homo sapiens (modern humans) descended from other hominid species (all the while believing that all of this happened by Allah's Will and Power), and that thereafter, these homo sapiens went..

  • Truth about subliminal messaging as source of power

    Assalaamu alaykum. I am a Muslim, and I was using something called subliminal's to get "superpowers", and the way this works is that it uses only your brain to run a command, so it pushes your brain and subconscious mind, and I can almost control smoke, but my question is: is what I am doing haram? Is it possible for the subconscious mind to do this,.. More

  • Regarding Burdah poem as praise of Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam

    Assalaamu alaykum. I asked this question before but I was told to clarify it. So, basically, I wanted to know whether if one read some defenses or justifications of the Qasida Burda, accepting it as simply praise for the Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,instead of considering it to be excessive praise, and then read fatwas on the latter..
