Calling someone ‘m love’ or ‘my life’
Assalaamu alaykum. Can I call someone ‘my love’? Also, the word ‘Jani’ means life in my language, can I call someone with that, and also, can I say that I won a match because of a person's match-winning performance, or do I have to say, “I won because of Allah”? Also, why do we call Allah the ‘Greatest’? If there is no one great around.. More

Returning Salaam while praying
Assalaamu alaykum. My question has to do with responding to the Salaam greeting:
1) According to the Sunnah, if you are in a prayer and somebody greets you with the Salaam, you should answer by either raising your palm, raising your index finger, or nodding. My question is: what if the praying person is in the bowing position or in Tashahhud, or.. More

Meaning of ‘lowering the gaze’
Assalaamu alaykum. What is meant by "Lower your gaze"? Actually, I try to obey it, but sometimes I become confused with the meaning as I am not an Arab. I know that looking at the forbidden things like the covered or uncovered private parts of others is prohibited, but my confusion is about the faces of girls. I am giving you some of the meaning which.. More

Keeping ties with relatives who cause trouble
I have three questions:
1) I have many relatives who live far from me. We have some family disputes that make us distant. Sometimes, they would call me but cause trouble, so my family ignored them. During Eid, however, we meet as a family and talk normally. Is this considered cutting the ties? Do I have to greet my family often or is being in a neutral.. More

Reading Soorah Al-Kaafiroon before sleeping
Assalaamu alaykum. My question is about guidance.
A) Are there surahs or supplications that block sins?
B) Does reading Surat Al-Kafiroon before sleeping make us immune to Shirk (polytheism)? Should we immediately go to sleep after reciting it, or can we recite others surahs and supplications after it also? Does it protect from major Shirk, minor.. More

In the post graduate level, there are numerous subjects. I have some questions regarding this matter:
1) Is it permitted for.. More

Seeking forgiveness of Allah without committing sin

For example: if a man turns his head to the right and sees a non-Mahram (permanently unmarriageable) woman dressed inappropriately and then turns his head away automatically, is he still allowed to say "Astaghfirullah" (I seek forgiveness from Allah)? Sometimes,.. More

Salaam. Am I able to lie and say that I am married when I am not? (I am divorced and have no intention of ever marrying again.) I live alone and am fully dependable on myself for survival.
