  • Whether it is Kufr to call people with shortened forms of their names

    In a book, it says: "126– It causes Kufr (disbelief) to say Abdulkoydur instead of AbdulQâdir when said intentionally. So is the case with saying Abdo instead of Abduluzeyz, Memo instead of Muhammad, Hasso instead of Hasan, and Ibo instead of Ibrâhîm. Some tradesmen write these blessed names on shoes or slippers for advertisement because they.. More

  • Dajjaal is human

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have a query and hope you can help. If the Dajjaal (Anti-Christ) is human and has the attributes of human beings and also belong to the religion of the Jews, then why did Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,say that every Messenger warned his nation against his tribulations, and why did Allaah create him from the first..

  • Heavenly Books revealed in Ramadan

    I read somewhere that the other Divine Books were revealed in Ramadan as well; is that valid for all of them? Did all Messengers who received a Book do so in Ramadan? May Allaah reward you. .. More

  • Makkan pagans did not believe in resurrection

    My question is about the beliefs of the pagans of Makkah. In the Quran, we find that Allaah refutes the beliefs of pagans, who believed that the resurrection is not possible. Did all the pagans believe that they would never be resurrected, or just the majority? This implies that they believed that when Allaah is happy with someone, He gives the reward.. More

    What are all the Names of Allaah? I know some, like Al-‘Adl, Al-‘Afuww, Al-Ahad, and so on, but I was surprised when Mufti Ismail Musa Mink said that Ash-Shaafi is one of His Names; I never heard that before. So what are the Names of Allaah? I know that they number 99. .. More

  • Questions about existence of God as part of argument against atheists

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have been pondering how to logically refute atheists, and I have been going over an introduction into it. I fear that because of how I introduce my speech, perhaps it is Shirk (polytheism) or Kufr (disbelief), even though I do not intend it so. This is the start of that refutation: The very first question we must ask is if there.. More

  • Denying existence of magic due to ignorance

    Assalaamu alaykum, Scholar. I used to teach my sister that magic does not exists. However, I think I was referring to so-called magic tricks, those where they make tricks with cards and split a human into two and so on. So when told my sister that magic does not exist, I think I was referring to that. Now, praise be to Allaah, I have a bit more knowledge,.. More

  • Asking dead or absent to fulfil needs of living

    Please read this question and answer me, even if the answer is only yes or no. If I follow the opinion of a certain man, for example, that the one who asks an absent or dead person for something that not only Allaah can do is not a disbeliever, and if I do not know which deeds are meant with this sentence, and another scholar says that asking a dead..

    What is the minimum number of years that a sinful Muslim has to stay in hell? .. More

  • Asking dead to supplicate for living

    Why do we say that it is disbelief to ask the dead to fullfil someone's need but we do not say that it is disbelief to ask the dead to ask Allaah? In both cases, the caller is calling/supplicating the dead, and in both cases, the caller is asking the dead for something which he can not do, and in both cases, the caller thinksthat the dead can do this..
