  • He has doubts that his father has fallen into Istihlaal and Kufr

    Assalaamu alaykum. I had a heated debate with my dad. It was regarding mortgages. My dad says that interest is haram and that there is no doubt about that, but he says that since we live in the UK and given that there is no way to come to own a home in a halal way, by necessity, we have to take out mortgages. He says that if a person is dying from starvation,.. More

  • No jealousy in Paradise

    I have been happily married for 7 years, and I am my husband's only wife. My husband occasionally makes small comments about Al-Hoor Al-Ayn (the maidens of Paradise), which I had no knowledge about until I recently googled what they are.

  • Ruling on Indian 'Solah Shringar'

    Is 'Solah Shringar' lawful in Islam? I am from India, where I see almost all of the Muslim brides do some or almost all of the 16 'Shringar', which all Hindu brides follow.

  • People of Paradise will have no hair on their bodies

    Greetings scholars. I asked this question yesterday, but you redirected me to previous questions, which is not what I was looking for.

They will be hairless (in their body)... More

  • 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

    Assalaamu alaykum. My husband and I live in a non-Muslim country. I feel that my faith and level of worship have deteriorated, and I feel threatened by Islam-haters.

  • 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..
