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?

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.

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.

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
