  • 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

  • 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

  • Saying that even devil would say truth when in tight spot

    Assalaamu alaykum. I would love it if you could put forth your verdict on a phrase that people in my society use. It goes, “Even the devil shall speak of truth when he gets burdened.” And when one asks them why they say that, they support it by saying that the satan suggested Aaya'tul Kursi (verse 255 of Surah Al-Baqarah) to Abu Hurayra to recite..

  • Doubting the existence of magic

    I have constant feelings that magic does not exist even though I know that God has mentioned it in the Quran. I tell myself that it is real and that I believe in it, but I feel that I do not really believe and only tell myself this for fear of becoming a disbeliever. One day, I had thought, "If I really believe in magic, can I swear by Allaah that it.. More

  • Incorrect to say that dwellers of Paradise will not listen to Quran

    Assalaamu alaykum. Does the verse that says that we will not hear sinful speech in heaven mean we that will not be able to hear the Quran in heaven? It says that we will not hear sinful speech, so does that mean that we will not hear the story of Pharaoh saying that he is God as well as other people's sins, like the people of Loot (Lot) and how the..

  • Allah Almighty only knower of Unseen

    Can something besides Allah hear, see, or know something when they are not there? Does a stone or a tree hear, see, or know what is in the heavens, for example? I often think of such questions; I believe that they come from the devil. Please answer me. .. More
