  • Refuting an allegation about the resemblance of Allaah to creatures

    Assalaamu alaykum. I hope it is possible to answer this question as soon as possible, because I am confused and sad. This question is so hard for me, but I need someone's help. I had a bad situation with one person who hates the creed of Ahlus-Sunnah (the people of the Sunnah) and our affirming of Allaah's attributes, such as His Hands, Face ... He.. More

  • The ruling on saying that not every non-Muslim is a kaafir

    Assalaamu alaykum Shaykh, and may Allaah be merciful to you. I have a question about kufr (disbelief). An imam who lives in Germany said that every kaafir (disbeliever) is a non-Muslim but not every non-Muslim is a kaafir. He said that a kaafir is someone who has heard about Islam WITH its evidences , REALISED the truth, and THEN rejected it. Furthermore,.. More

  • The Hanafi ruling on saying (I am not a Muslim if I am lying) while he is lying

    Please reply to the question according to the Hanafi school of thought. If a person says, "If I am not speaking the truth, then I am not a muslim." and he lied, then will he be excluded from the religion of Islam? If he were to be excluded from the religion of Islam, then what would happen to his marriage with his wife? .. More

  • Seeking blessings with the relics of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam

    Asalaamu alaykum, dear shaykh and brother in Islam. I have a question about the following hadith: Abdullaah, the freed slave of Asmaa' (the daughter of Abu Bakr), the maternal uncle of the son of 'Ata, reported: "Asmaa' sent me to 'Abdullaah ibn 'Umar, saying, 'The news has reached me that you prohibit the use of three things: striped robes, saddle..

  • Refuting the malicious allegation that Allaah 'deceives' people

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have a question that is seriously bothering me. Some Islam-hating Christians quote some verses from the Holy Qur'an and say that these verses say that Allaah deceives people (Allaah forbid). I know that their argument is extremely weak. The verses that they quote are these: "And the unbelievers schemed [against Jesus]; but God brought.. More

  • He has whispers about accusing a fellow Muslim of disbelief

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have seen your links, but my question remains: if you consider somebody who ascribes himself to Islam as a disbeliever but you do not show it outwardly for any reason (for example: shyness, amicable atmosphere at that moment, you like that person, you want him to be pleased with you, and so on). What is the ruling thereof? Is that.. More

  • We can neither confirm nor deny that Allaah 'walks' or 'runs'

    Assalaamu alaykum. Some Salafi student of knowledge said that you cannot affirm or deny anything about Allaah that He or the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,have not affirmed or denied. So he said that you cannot say that Allaah does not walk around, he then said that he is not saying this, but as Allaah has not said it himself, we have to just.. More

  • Denying a story stated in the Quran is an act of disbelief

    Dear Shaikh, assalamu Alaykum. What is the sharia ruling on a person who says that the story of Prophet Ibrahim, alayhi as-salam, that fire did not burn him is an imaginary story and not a real story because Allah has created fire with the ability to burn things so how could Prophet Ibrahim not burn in it? Could you please let me know whether the person.. More

  • Satanic whisperings about the truthfulness of Allaah

    Please consider all the possibilities when you answer this answer. For a while now, the devil has infected me with this question, and it is making me uneasy. My question is: What is the proof that Allaah does not lie at all? In other words, what is the proof that Allaah is Honest and Truthful? What is the proof that He does not deceive us at all in..

  • No authentic Hadeeth saying that Allaah sits on the Throne

    What is the authenticity of the Marfu hadith reported by Imam Ahmad on the authority of Ibn Abbas that says that Allaah sits on the Throne, and of the statement of Kharijah bin Mus'ab concerning this that Ibn Al-Qayyim mentions in As-Sawa'iq as well as Ibn Al-Uthaymin in Fatawa Arkan Al-Islam? Is there any 'istawa' without sitting? .. More

  • Asking the dead to intercede with Allaah for the living is impermissible

    I believe that going to the Prophet's grave or the grave of a righteous man and asking them to make dua to Allah for you is in innovation in the religion, However, on a forum I frequent, one person claimed that it is mentioned in Fath Al-Barithat the majority of the scholars say that the dead can hear the living, and that person also claims that the..

  • Eternal punishment for the disbelievers is part of the wisdom of Allaah

    My question is the following: Why will Allaah burn the disbelievers eternaly if humans are unjust and have a finite life and knowledge and many built-in temptaions? I agree that some believed also, yet why not make the disbelievers rocks or any other non-living thing instead of burning them in fire "eternally". I do believe in punishing for a limited.. More

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatah Shaykh. Please explain what, 'There is nothing below you,' means in the following supplication.

  • Satisfaction at the sentencing of a Muslim by man-made laws

    Assalaamu alaykum. Is it disbelief if you feel some kind of satisfaction when a Muslim is sentenced by a taghut legislation? For example, somebody who you do not like is sentenced, or somebody whom you view as an extremist in the religion, or somebody who has commited a crime, or somebody whom you are envious. And would it also be disbelief if you had.. More
