Maulana Sheikh Nuru Mohammed

Yes she is allowed to talk so long as there is no other option available.

Yaa Ali Madad is a form of tawassul. Saying it with the thinking that Imam Ali is independent of Allah will amount to shirk. Otherwise, there is no problem if one wholeheartedly believes Imam Ali is not independent of Allah but rather amongst the greatest manifestations of Allah on earth

This verse doesn’t contradict the need for Tafsir. Tafsir is trying to understand what Allah meant by referring it to Ahlul bait.

The verse you quoted means:
We made the pronunciation of the verse of the Qur’an and understanding of its meanings easy for those who want to. It doesn’t suggest you should not seek to learn

The above verses are about offensive nicknames and not just every nickname.

The challenge is to fight those thoughts and respond to the calling of Allah.
Always seek refuge from Allah against the cursed Shaitan. Shaitan will always make disobeying Allah pleasing and beautiful to us.

Increase the recitation of “Auudhu billlah …….

Q: Is Marijuana Haram ?

A: Yes.

Q: Haram, according to every marjaa'

A: Yes.

Q: Why ?

A: Marijuana is an intoxicant. As per famous hadith from Prophet Muhammad(p.b.u.h) accepted by all muslims 'Any substance that intoxicates is 'khimr'(wine). This means that all intoxicants are equivalent to wine in their prohibition, as wine is explicitly made haram in the Holy Quran.

Stopping someone from it depends on the level addiction.

Discussing with the person and explaining the danger of it is the first step. The person may need rehabilitation if the addiction is of high level.

It’s always better to confirm the time the cabin crews as well as the current position.

There is nothing wrong in discussing Dajjal for the purpose of enhancing one’s knowledge on the subject. What you mentioned above are what some considered agents of dajjal. This cannot be entirely truth and require further examination.

It’s not acceptable to think negative of another Mu’min. Thinking bad about people without acting on it can count. Let’s be careful.

It’s important we try control our thoughts about others. It’s not allowed regardless of whether the actions happen or not.

This sounds like a game of chance. In this case, it’s not allowed

1. It means the manifestation of Allah. They indicate to Allah.
2. Yes both are Nafsulullah
3. Prophet is no doubt higher than Imam Ali (as)

Yes there is a tradition in Bihar Al-Anwar volume 63, page 187 regarding the significance of eating Babana. It helps with blood circulation, strong memory etc

3. The dowry has to be an agreement between the two of you. Something of monetary value should be added to make it complete. Obviously base on your capability

This hadith is indicating to the deeper meaning of what actually Human is , which is the True self.

If this part of us is fixed , the minimum would be seeing the remedy within and maximum would be knowing our Lord, by which the hidden becomes manifest.

To fix your true self is to be sincere in what you do, associate or hang around with God fearing people, do self assessment now and then and seek divine intervention through prayers, patience and steadfast.

Aqeedah refers to the belief system.
Religion is made of roots and branches.

Roots are the beliefs and are extremely important. Without which, one cannot claim to Muslim or even Shia.

Examples are aqeedah are belief in Allah, prophet, imams, day of Judgment etc

Branches are the practices such as salat, fast, hajj etc

You don’t have to clean the whole house for you to be able to pray. Find a space within the house, clean it and pray. If not at all, make a space in your own bedroom and then pray.

4. It’s an attribute of Allah and He gives to whomsoever He pleases

Our scholars are not sure if we currently have true Ahlul Kitab. Hence their rules on the marriage

These are the references:
1. Kitab al-Mazar Al-kabeer by Jafar Mashhadi
2. Kitab Al-Mazar Al-Kabeer by Allama Tabrasi
3. Al-misba Al-Zahir by Ibn Tawus

Allama majlisi also narrated from the above 3 books.

The three books reported from the Nuwwabs of the 12th Imam.

There is nothing wrong with Dua Nudbah

Yes you are right. He created us out of love and gave us the choices. Our destinies are in our hands.

The question makes sense. There is no need to to start the tashahud afresh so long as the pause is not long. Repeating the statement suffices.

It’s neither your fault nor that of your dad as to the way he was buried. Allah will make it easy for him in his life of Barzakh.

There is nothing wrong with the subscription so long as what is been watch is halal.

It’s your duty to make it clear to your brother that he should watch only what is halal or else you will stop the subscription or not allow him to use it . Otherwise, you will have share of the sin if he watches Haram. Your duty is to make it clear to them. As to whether they listen to it or not it’s not your duty. Your responsibility is to convey a clear message of your stand

It should be Ayatuallh Sistani’s definition since your question is regarding his fatwa

Yes she is allowed to do so since it’s a legal requirement and beyond her control.

Not all traced back to Ibn Arabi. Yes Scholars normally quote and discuss his views. This is not to suggest his is the origin of Irfan.

Ahlul Bait are the origin of Irfan. Check the following link for books in this regard:

It’s halal to take the job in this case.

The good thing is that she informed him before their marriage. In this case she cannot be blamed.

Discuss other ways of making love with the wife instead of just intimacy.

It’s correct. One cannot talk with Na Mehram for talking sake

It was Green according to some narrations bearing the name of Allah and that of the prophet

I haven’t come across any narration regarding the symbols.

The main evidence we have in this regard is the Holy Qur’an.
Chapters 12 and 28

The knowledge of the unseen belongs to Allah. He taught his prophets, messengers and the imams as and when there was need.

Ordinary people like us have the potential to be inspired by Allah. It’s possible to receive inspirations from God.

What do you need to do be inspired?

1. Have pure and sincere intention
2. Stay away of harams
3. Obey Allah, His messenger and the Infallible Imams
4. Maintain the best Akhlaqs

Indeed Allah protected both Adam and Hawa and they did not commit any sin. What happened was a source of procreation on earth.

It will be a sin to break it without the consent of the other party. Unless in a case where you were forced or lied to to sign a contract. In this case, it will not be a sin to break since it involves force and lying.

It is within your right to make it clear to them why you are not proceeding with their requests. You cannot be forced as I said before.

Abu Lulu wasn’t a Mulsim. He was a fire worshipper

He was not Muslim

The word Allah is no doubt Powerful but no harm in using God instead of Allah

Indeed God is the necessary infinite and there is no plurality in necessary infinite

One has to have a background in the science of Hadith to be able to know if Hadith he hears is authentic or not.
Another way of doing it is to approach the Maulana/Sheikh for the proof of what he is quoting

The younger brother and the rest of the family should take the responsibility of paying it back

It’s possible for a Mujtahid to meet the 12th Imam. However, I haven’t heard of them meeting Imam in their dreams

Yes devil can mislead in dreams. It’s important to seek the interpretation of a dream from the experts in this regard

You will continue to pray Qasr until you decide to make it your home

I haven’t come across such a tradition. Kindly ask your freind to show you the refrence if there is any

There is nothing wrong in discussing Dajjal for the purpose of enhancing one’s knowledge on the subject. What you mentioned above are what some considered agents of dajjal. This cannot be entirely truth and require further examination.

I haven’t come across a tradition saying we should not cut our nails or hairs on Tuesdays

The purpose of Namaaz is to soften our hearts and make us better human being.

Quran 29:45 makes it clear that stops us from committing sins.

“CONVEY [unto others] whatever of this divine writ has been revealed unto thee, and be constant in prayer: for, behold, prayer restrains [man] from loathsome deeds and from all that runs counter to reason; and remembrance of God is indeed the greatest [good]. And God knows all that you do”

What you heard from the Maulana is true.

There is nothing wrong so long as Islamic ethos are upheld ie, no hand shaking with the opposite gender etc

Traditions says about heaven: “ one will see what he has never seen, one will hear what he has never heard and one will see what he has never thought of”

Allah is more than capable of doing so. Although the tradition says we will be in our human form in Heaven.

Let’s continue to be obedient to Allah, His messenger and the Ahlul Bait (as).

We pray that Allah bless us with Heaven on the day of Judgment. Elahi Ameen

Indeed Allah is infinite. Allah created the universe and it’s existence depends on Allah.

Nothing to worry about from the Islamic perspective since it isn’t intentional.

1. It’s a choice. You are allowed to say “Ya Muhammad Madad” I guess we mention “Ali” because of the oppression done him and how enemies didn’t want anyone to mention Ali. Help is indeed from Allah and Ahlul Bait are our main ways to Allah.

2. There is nothing wrong so long as they are sincere servants of Allah like Bibi Zaynab, Bibi Masumah, Hazrat Abbas etc. Remember help is from Allah and they are means to Allah

3. They may not be among the 14 infallibles but one cannot point any sin they committed. They were devoured servants of Allah.

4. Quran 4:64

5. I haven’t come across that but that doesn’t mean we cannot so long it’s not with the intention of worshiping an Imam but rather as means of approach to Allah

There is nothing wrong in studying Forensic science.

Running water is ok and Najasa will not stay there.

This hadith is indicating to the deeper meaning of what actually Human is , which is the True self.

If this part of us is fixed , the minimum would be seeing the remedy within and maximum would be knowing our Lord, by which the hidden becomes manifest.

There is nothing wrong in achieving your goals in the above described way

Keep reading and you will discover a lot.

The best way to clear the confusion is to follow the teachings of our Marjas. Ayatullah Sistani says “ we should do it with care and with the aim of educating and not undermining anyone as majority of Muslims follow them”

My humble suggestion is follow your marja’s guidance in this regard

1) The best way is to give them book such as “ Then I was guided” to read and then later on discus with them.

Link to the copy of the I was guided
https://www.al-islam.org/then-i-was-guided-muhammad-al-tijani-al-samawi

2) The only way to sort out any differences is to have friendly and open discussions on what you share in common as well as what is unique to each school.

3) We have our four main books but I would suggest your check this book of Ayatullah RayShahri:

4. Nade Ali:

This is from Kaf’ami although it’s not authenticated that it’s from the Prophet or any of our Imams. Having said that, note that there is nothing wrong with the recitation of these beautiful words. It’s a form of Tawassul and Tawassul is not Shirk.

5. Wa Ajjil Farajahum:
Take your time and read this:

https://al-m.ca/is-saying-wa-ajjil-farajahum-bidah/

The literal meaning of 'kufr' is 'to conceal' or 'to hide'. It also means 'disobedience' or 'thanklessness'. Shia’s grand jurisprudents have said that one who denies the oneness of God or associates anyone with Him is a kafir (disbeliever). There are other meanings and instances for kufr (disbelief) which have been mentioned in the treatises written by Muslim scholars and which we do not mention here for the sake of brevity.

As for the impurity of a kafir, Muslim scholars rely on the Quranic verse which says, “Verily, the pagans are impure…”. Shia jurisprudents are almost unanimous about the impurity and uncleanness of disbelievers.

However, when it comes to the People of the Book (Christians and Jews), they hold diverse views; some say that they are ritually and essentially pure. That is to say, if we know that they do not have any physical contact with impure things and have not used them either, then they are not impure.

In any rate, if it is said that this ruling or injunction is an insult to them, it should be said that, first of all, the reason behind Islam’s injunction about the disbelievers’ impurity could be considered as ‘politically motivated’.

Thus, we can say that the purpose behind this injunction is to prevent Muslims from associating with them so that Muslims may not be influenced by their destructive thoughts.

God created us because of love He has for us. He wants us to represent His beautiful names and attributes. He provided us all that it takes for us to achieve that. His knowledge about our failure doesn’t mean he causes it.

A good teacher will always give his students what he knows the student is capable of doing. Unless if the student fails to prepare or the teacher doesn’t know what he is doing.

God will never put burden on us. He loves us and He only wants to see us succeed. Remember there is a difference between knowledge and cause

Using the instrument is not allowed

What is recommended is to fast either every 3 days in a month or every Thursday and Monday and during other important occasions.
I haven’t come across a Hadith regarding intermittent fasting

Qur’an teaches us to be kind and obedient to our parents. At the same time, the Qur’an warns us not to obey them when it comes to sins. Meaning, you cannot obey them for example if they ask you to do things contrary to the teachings of Allah.
It’s important we maintain our respect for them even if we disagree with them.

If it is possible to wipe the water off the carpet by using a piece of cloth or a vacuum cleaner, it can be purified with qalil water, provided that the water is wiped off the carpet, in the process. Conversely, it must be purified by kathir water [i.e., by using a hose pipe connected to the tap]

1) Keep busy from time to time with different activities such as reading, physical exercise etc
2) Engage in different acts of worship such daily optional prayers, recitation of the holy Quran etc
3) I would advise counselling if it’s to much.

Allah is all forgiven and Merciful. The person will be rewarded according to his or her intention.

Q2. It is preferable for you to repeat if possible and it will not take long.

She has the right to ask for Khula when she is certain that injustice is done to her in her marriage.

Yes iddat is still necessary.

It’s indeed a right deed. However, make sure people don’t make noise when Quran is been recited.

There is nothing wrong so long it’s not for a specific religion or religion.

It’s an historical event which wasn’t in favor of the Shias. It was anti Shia empire.

1. Personal development:
a. Do lawful and stay away from unlawful (sins)
b. Increase your knowledge about the prophet, imams and particularly the 12th Imam. Enhance your understanding of our beloved 12th Imam’s life.

d. Seek to excel in your circular studies by representing the school of Ahlul bait (as).

The good thing is that she informed him before their marriage. In this case she cannot be blamed.

Discuss other ways of making love with the wife instead of just intimacy.

Dhikr is remembrance of Allah.

Example:

“Laa hawla Walaa quwwata illaa billah”

“ Hasbunallahu WANI imal waqeel”

This is not the right way of asking forgiveness. Allah is all Forgiving and Merciful. One cannot put conditions. What is important is for one to be sincere in asking Allah’s forgiveness

Yes listening to swear is haram and not acceptable.
Many things invalidate fast include Eating and drinking intentionally, sleeping while in the state of Janaba intentionally till fajr time, masturbation etc

It depends on an individual. The general Islamic guideline is that we should eat what is lawful and good. Something that will not expose our health to danger.

The forty days is a recommendation and not compulsory. It’s definitely beneficial for those who are able to do it

By making sure you wait for the prayers and not for the prayers wait for you.
One should also try to say away from sins

4:103 .
And we have numerous traditions of Ahlul bait in this regard

1) Allah is definitely changeless because He is neither limited by time nor by space.

Change exist in relation to creatures because we are limited by time and by space.

Allah is beyond change because He created it

2) Allah has authority over everything. It’s like a coin in your hand. You turn it the way you want.
Allah turn the world according to needs and not anyhow for the sake of turning it

Try to make time to pray within the time of the salat.

If this is not possible, there is nothing wrong to pray later after work

Make sure you wash the back so long as you are certain the water goes inside

Ritual purity (wduhu and ghusl) are very effective on the child's upbringing and education and it is better or the mother not to breastfeed her child whilst she is in the state of ritual impurity (janabat). Also, there is no problem in having sexual intercourse with one's spouse in a room in which there is a child, if the child is not discerning (mumayyiz) between good and bad. However, if the child is awake, having sexual intercourse close to it is abominable and disapproved (makrooh).

In short, it’s better to breastfeed after ghusl

1. The appointment will be done by the Imam through Allah’s permission. It will only be the close elite companions of the 12th Imam. It’s like the cabinet of a political leader

2. There are different opinions in this regard. It will be something that the current world is used to.

3. In addition to to having strong belief in Allah and the Ahlul bait, professions such as engineering, pilot, journalism, general business would be needed. The general advise from the scholars is that whether one does should do it with perfection.

It was in the battle of Siffeen.
That shows Imam Ali is an epitome of Justice and guidance. He did that to guide the gentle.
The man eventually joined the camp of Imam Ali

15 Shaban is a great and blessed night. It’s second to the night of Qadr. In addition to that, it’s the night of the birth of our 12th Imam.
It’s not bida at all.

That’s not true. We have the holy Quran and our four major Hadith books

1. Kitab al-Kafi of Kulayni (divided into Usul al-Kafi, Furu al-Kafi and Rawdat al-Kafi)
2. Man La Yahduruhu al-Faqih of Shaikh Saduq.
3. Tahdhib al-Ahkam of Shaikh Tusi.
4. al-Istibsar of Shaikh Tusi.

Yes your strong inclination has a value.
Constant doubting person should not pay attention to the doubt

Mainstream shia view is that everything is possible and all are in the hand of Allah.

I would advise to check “ the enlightening commentary of the Holy Quran”

Yes there is nothing wrong for her to pray with her piercing either of the nose or ears.

There is no harm so long as the delay is not too long and the salat will still fall within time

It’s important you do the intention when performing the Ghusl.
However your Ghusl is not invalid due to ignorance or forgetfulness

One time payment suffices

The truth is that shooting stars are used to stone the jinns (devils) who go to eavesdrop in the heavens, in order to hear news of the unseen.
The Quran says in the Quran in Chapter 15 Surah Hijr verse 16-18:

Shooting stars are like missiles for Jins

Seek Allah’s forgiveness and reach out to the one you harmed in the process for their pardoning and forgiveness.
This doesn’t affect marriage so long as your sincere in your intention

The above is one of the Tafsirs and it’s accepted. Kindly read “Tafsir al-Mizan”, “ enlightening commentary in the Holy Qur’an”, or “ Tafsir Namooneh etc for more information on this verse.

Visit al-Islam.org for the above tafsirs

There is no need to pay Khums on it every year since it was used in the year you bought it

Salamullahialyhi is used to both who are alive and those who are not and it indicates that the person is purified (infallible) whereas Rahmatullahi Alayhi is used only for the one who is no more in this world.

Sunnis use Radiyallahuanhu because it’s general and it doesn’t indicate to Ismat

Quran - 4:103
And we have numerous traditions of Ahlul bait in this regard

1. There is nothing wrong to have early Suhoor. However it’s better when you have it a bit late. It’s called Suhoor bcos of the timing. There is more baraka in that when you have it late.

2. Keep doing the salat Layl and eventually you will see the benefits insha Allah. It is powerful

3. Different ways of connecting with Imam Zaman:
1. Stay away from sins
2. Do your waajibat properly
3. Put up good behavior wherever you may be
4. Be sincere in whatever you do
5. Recitation of Dua Al-Hujjat and other related Duas

There is nothing wrong in having it. However, it should be be removed during wiludhu or Ghusl since it’s not properly established as to whether it serves as a barrier or not.

Your Saliva is clean so long as the Najis is out and the mouth is cleaned with water.

Shias do Duas only to Allah either directly or through the Ahlul bait.
Shias don’t ask Ahlul bait directly but rather ask God through the Ahlul bait. This is what is called “Tawassul”

Proof for your Reference : 5:35

1. You will determine who is the most Learned by asking great scholars who are well versed with Islamic jurisprudence. Discuss this with your resident Alim
2. Yes, she require permission.

You cannot look at a paint and say Salam. It’s not acceptable practice and that should not be repeated. Allah forgives since we have regretted and repented.

Your love for Allah and Ahlul bait is cherished and valued by Allah and the Ahlul bait. Allah loves you and He doesn’t want you to be negative and think of taking your life. Take care of yourself, your family and keep loving Allah and the Ahlul bait. All shall be well Insha Allah.

However, if it will be Qaza, then you pray in the Sunni mosque with the intention of “Furada”, meaning, you will recite your Fatiha, sura and all the zikrs. You don’t have to fold your arms as not all the Sunni do that. Get a Tasbeeh made up of clay to prostrate on.

1. The basis as per the teachings of the Quran and prophet is Obedience to Allah
2. This is true so long as it’s intentional. Meaning the person knows the truth and intentionally rejects it. Others will enter jannah so long as they are sincere in what they are doing.

The name is Qatam bint Shajna


She was a woman from Kufa who played a role in motivating Ibn Muljam to martyr Imam 'Ali .Since her brother and father were killed in the Battle of Nahrawan, she conditioned her marriage with Ibn Muljam upon the murder of 'Ali (a). Qatam was famously very beautiful, and her condition for marriage motivated Ibn Muljam to murder Imam 'Ali (a).

Note that Some contemporary scholars take this story to be fictional and not authentic . Hence you don’t hear about her.

1. Make sure not to miss the daily recitation of the Qur’an.
2. Repeat the recitation of Qur’an 7:126. Do it as much as you can.
3. Consulting anger management experts in this regard is encouraged.

Sumerians are not Muslims. Islam has nothing to do with Sumerians. They have different gods

Yes it’s obligatory precaution. So far there is no marja with different opinion.

Allah’s time is always the best. Try to do the dua while in wudhu. Keep doing it from time to time and not to give up. Allah eventually make it easy for you.

2) Restarting is definitely better if you can. If not, you just pay the day back and continue

There is a difference between a curse and an insult. Curse is the deprivation of Allah’s mercy.

He was the closest son to his father and had the light of prophethood. Hence the respect and honour

1) It’s not allowed just for the sake of going for site seeing. Unless if it’s part of your studies at Univeristy or work related. In that case, no problem but Islamic ethos must be upheld

1. Shaitan cannot read your thoughts. However he is able to influence your thoughts.
2. The angles cannot read our thoughts. Their duties are to record what we do of good or bad
3. We are not judged by our thoughts. We are Judged mainly by our actions. Thoughts lead to actions. Therefore it’s important we try to manage our thoughts by remembering Allah
4. Nafs controls our thoughts. Remember intellect plays role of analysing within our systems
5. You will not be penalised so long as you do not act on the thoughts. Keep remembering Allah to reduce negative thoughts

It is permissible to have one’s tubes tied (Tubal Ligation - Tubectomy) to prevent pregnancy as long as this procedure is temporary (reversible) and would not lead to a woman being permanently unable to conceive nor would this act cause any sort of life-threatening conditions.

The purpose of life is to connect with Heaven, Earth and Human beings.

Heaven here means , Allah and hence the emphasis on the importance of prayers within religions. It’s not enough to connect with only human beings and earth. Connecting with our maker is crucial and central to any other connection. You will definitely get reward by being a good to people. However is that enough? Something to think about.

Common sense dictates that we should always be grateful to those who are good to us.

Not doing it means being ungrateful to our maker. This is when the sin comes in. Common sense dictates that we should always be grateful to those who have done something good to us. The best of all is Allah. Therefore salat is away to be Grateful.

Q3. Prayers is not just to avoid Hell. More importantly, it to connect with the world of the unseen and reality.

Believing that prophet had other daughters may give values to some of those who stood against the Ahlul bait

The nature of the Imams in Qur’an 5:12 is different from the nature of our beloved 12 Imams. Our Imams are all children of our beloved prophet whereas 12 of prophet Musah are 12 sincere and pious leaders from different tribes of that time. They were those who knew Allah than others within their tribes. Their roles were less complicated than that of our beloved 12 Imams

We are permitted by the Qur’an and Ahlul bait (as) to either supplicate toward Allah directly or via medium such as the Prophet or the Ahlul bait.

Thank you for the question. Both parents and their daughter have rights over each other.
The right of the parent is for the daughter to be respectful and obedient to them so long as it’s not against the teachings of God.
And the right of the girl is for the parent to look after her respectfully, instil Islamic values in her and be good role model for her.

The parent should avoid forcing her. They need to discuss things with her and humbly show her why what they want is right.

In this case, my humble advise to the daughter is that she should not lose her respect for the parent, she should ask a scholar or someone revered in the community to go and speak to the parent.

The daughter definitely needs expert counseling. In addition to that, she should not forget the recitation of the Quran daily. Allah will make it easy for her

This could be denying them access to their game, phone for sometime etc

Generally speaking, your children and your wife are the most closet to you and you can be tested by someone close you then the others.
Not to say others are not tests. Allah knows best and that’s His wisdom

Science has limitation. Namaz is a means of connecting with the absolute unlimited, The Creator of all including the scientist as well was the absolute sustainer. Namaz responds to at least 3 natural needs

1. It provides us with peace and tranquility
2. It relieves us of our challenges in life
3. It’s a means of talking to Allah when we are overwhelmed with issues in Allah.

There is nothing wrong imagining and visualising things

The sharia laws says that” it’s recommended to take care of her irrespective of whether she has a child or not until she finds something for her livelihood”
This is according to the husband’s capability and means.
It’s a recommendation.

Indeed it’s from Imam Ali (as). It’s worth pondering and reflecting. It highlights on the merits of our beloved Imam Ali (as)

Prophets were chosen conditional to whether someone in the society was capable to accepting the position

Yes, it’s possible for ordinary person to reach the level so long as meet all the requirements. However, the number of the prophets was destined

Intelligent might not be a controllable factor, however it’s usage is controllable. Up until today, ordinary people receive inspiration in place of Wahy.

The bottom we are created with choices to exercise. Whoever makes good use of his intellect, desire and imagination, Allah strengthen him and made him to excel and vice-versa.

Indeed we all have choices to make. Our beloved prophets and Imams had choices too.

Jin/ Sehri/ jinn etc are real as outlined by some verses of the Quran. What you need to do is to be good person, remember Allah and Ahlul bait now and then. All shall be well and nothing to worry about

Your salat is not batil since is thinking. You don’t have to repeat your salat.
However, it’s important to reduce the thinking:

Few advises:

1. Prepare for salat in advance. Meaning, make wudhu some minutes before the actual salat time. Do some optional payers before or do some long prostration before the actual obligatory salat.

2. Try to spend time to understand whatever you recite in salat.

Your namaz is not invalid for correcting mistakes in pronunciation. However, try to spend time learning to avoid correcting it during Namaz.

Allah is Great and you will be fine.

My advise is as follows:
1. Kindly consult your GP for professional and medical advise on this. It’s very important you do this as soon as possible. Allah has blessed the professionals with wisdom for them to be able to reach out to those in need.

2. Try as much as you to ignore the doubts either after wudhu or salat. One wudhu or salat is enough in this regard

3. Try as much as you can not to miss reading and reflecting on verses of the Quran daily

4. Don’t forget Sadaqa to those indeed from time to Time

Allah will make it easy for you

You should still take the opportunity take the opportunity to advise the person not to talk ill of others during their absence. This should be done respectfully and diplomatically.

Yes so long as the wife is needy and the husband has no extra money to look after his wife. Remember, upkeep of the wife is husband’s responsibility irrespective of zakat fitra

The husband should be able then to take care of his wife. She is his sole responsibility when it comes to her livelihood. She cannot depend on Zakat fitra If her her husband is not needy

Yes he is allowed to recite Azan and iqama in sitting since he is unable to to it standing due to illness

Unfortunately we cannot rely on internet for every information we want. This information is not accurate at all. Mukthar honoured and respected Imam Zainul abideen. Imam had no issues at all with Mukhtar revenging.

Indeed it’s haram. The reason is haram is that it may affect your marital relationship in future or you many end up not having a child.
There is no specific dua. However, I would advice you to prolong your sajda after salat by asking Allah to intervene on your behalf to be able to stop it.

Note that it triggers Allah’s punishment. So try as much as you can to stay from it. It requires your strong WILL POWER.

Indeed one of the most important act of worship is upbringing of our children. Children are trusts from Allah and parents will be questioned on how they raised their children.
Both father and mother are equally responsible.
Consider the following points:
1. Let your children see in you what you want to see in them
2. Show priority to their madrassah studies
3. You and your husband should invest your time in teaching them Islamic values at home.
4. Always take them to Islamic programs
5. If you feel the environment is harmful, there is no harm in moving to more suitable and convenient environment for their upbringing

Do not worry. Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. Try as much as you can to stay away from it. Spend time with trustworthy friends who do not indulge in such an act. Do your Namaz regularly and ask for forgiveness of Allah.
Allah is Absolute kind and Merciful.
Make effort to change and Allah will bless the effort. Don’t despair at all

It will be good not to face your back towards qibla. This is for the respect and honor of the qibla. Although it’s not serious as in the case of the washroom

Indeed life has a great purpose. And that’s to represent Divine beauty by reaching perfection. Death according to Islam is not the end of life but rather a transition from lower type of a life to another.
Challenges in life are very unpleasant, however they are there to equip us with mechanisms to realize the goals of life which was stated above. Therefore, do not get discouraged. Every challenge is a learning curve.

Wslm my dear Brother
Ramadan Mubarak to you and all your loved ones. This is indeed an excellent question and there is nothing wrong with the question. I do understand how it feels when you expect certain result but without avail.
My humble advise to you is that you should not get discourage at all. Allah knows and sees your effort. Be rest assured your effort will not be in vain. Keep making the efforts and eventually the door of Allah’s presence in your heart would be eventually opened. Never think you are not good enough. You are good enough and Allah definitely appreciates your humble efforts.

Few suggestions

-Make sure to do more istigfar
- Recite and reflect on few verses of the Quran daily for softening of the heart
- Night prayers is also an excellent option to add in your basket of act of worship if you are able
- Go to Sajda now and then and ask for divine intervention.

Allah is forgiven and He will not let you down

You answered the question at the end.

The choice is in our hands. Whatever we choose, gets activated by Allah.

This is an excellent question. Knowing God involves doing the following:

1. Know yourself in the sense that you know your weak points and trying to work on it.
2. Understand the teachings of Qur’an and try to implement the teachings. Read few verses of the Quran daily and reflect on them
3. Befriend and associate with people who always remind you of your duty to Allah.
4. Take care of your daily prayers, it’s timing etc
5. Be discipline - meaning do what you know it’s right and try to stay from what’s wrong.

Sorry to hear about your family situation. Allah is Great and He will make it easy for you and your family.

“ dua is the weapon of a believer”
You need dua to be able to overcome the challenge insha Allah.

I would recommend the recitation of the following:

1. Dua jawshan sageer and kabir
2. Chapter Yasin as much as you can
3. Dua tawassul and Ziyarat Ashura

Bismillah is indeed independent part of the Quran. One is not allowed to recite Surah in salat without Bismillah. Doing so will renders the recitation incomplete.

Yes you are allowed to change your mind to recite different Surah

Yes you cannot abandon it unless if you are stuck and you don’t know what to do. In that case, you are allowed to recite new chapter with new Bismillah

Indeed as a Muslim or a believer, God has to be always in our lives. The name must be respected and elevated. So yes, we have to be in wudhu etc

There will be no problem if the names are not referring to Him.

According to the late Ayatullah al-Khu’i, donating some of the organs (whether minor or major) after the death is permissible provided you have expressed your intention clearly in your will.

Ayatullah Nasir Makarim also holds the same opinion.

Ayatullah Khamenei allows this provided the body does not look like a mutilated body — so donating internal organs would be permissible but cutting off the external organs would amount to mutilation of the corpse which is not permissible.

However, Ayatullahs Sistani and Jawad Tabrizi do not recognize the validity of such a will at all; and, therefore, donating an organ after death is not permissible in their views

There is nothing wrong so long as the Qurkhani is held after the main salat times. One should try to quite place to offer his prayers if possible

Yes indeed the new ruling is correct. However, it does not apply to you in this situation since you not legally binding on you. The responsibility is on the legal owner of the house

The sun rotates around the earth

Holy Quran 36:38
------------------
وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِي لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَّهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ

And the sun runs [on course] toward its stopping point. That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.

Ayatullah Sistani allows donation during life time and doesn’t permit it after a person’s death even with the availability of a WILL.

It is permissible, but it is not permissible, as a measure of precaution, to cut an organ of a dead Muslim if he bequeathed, unless a Muslim’s life is in danger.

Indeed it’s ok to enjoy the blessings of this world in moderation without extravagance. And at the same time doing your Islamic obligation by paying your khums and reaching out to those in need such as orphans, poor etc

Try the following in addition to taking expert medicinal advice:
1. Keep wudhu at all time if possible
2. Recite Quran now and then
3. Increase the recitation of “ laa hawla walaa quwwata illaa billah” or “ HASBUNALLAHU WANI IMAL WAQEEL”

Note: don’t forget to establish your daily compulsory prayers.

Note the following:
1.Death is not the end of life but rather transition from lower level of life to the higher one. There is a strong correlation between this world and the hereafter. The real life begins after our departure from this world. Allah’s love and mercy will be more there than what we see here in this world.

2. Allah Created us for the love He has for us. He is perfect and He Created us for perfection. Nothing in this world will go astray.

3. Note that your feeling is not something negative. Go back to Allah ( Salat, Zikr, etc ) as the feeling become more. You will be amazed how this feeling will turn into peace and tranquility.

We will not abe to see Allah with our naked eyes. It’s possible to see Him with our heart. Meaning to feel His presence and be overwhelmed by that.
There is no one who saw and will see Allah. Even our Imams didn’t see Allah. This is impossible simply because Allah is not a matter that has weight and occupies a space. He is not limited by time nor by space. He is everywhere

The relationship has to remain the same except that you will not follow or participate with them in going against the teachings of Allah.

Continue to pray for Allah to guide and soften their hearts

All Nafilah prayers can be offered while sitting, but then, certain Fuqaha say that 2 Rak'ats prayed sitting should be counted as one Rak'at. For example, if a person wishes to offer Zuhr Nafilah which consists of 8 Rak'ats, in a sitting posture, he should offer 16 Rak'ats. And if he wishes to offer Witr prayers while sitting, he should offer two prayers of 1 Rak'at each. This later preference is not known from any sources; however, they may be followed with the hope of earning divine pleasure.

t’s indeed possible to meet Imam Zaman (atf). However, it’s not easy. It’s a level that all lovers of Imam aspire to get to. If not at all, to miss Imam’s presence is also an excellent stage. Consider the following acts of worship according to traditions:

1. Be sincere in your worship of Allah
2. Stay away from sins even if it’s small
3. Do act of worship or charity and gift to the Imam
4. Remember him and mention his name as much as you can

Has the husband ever explained to his wife the reason as to why he doesn’t visit his in laws?
Islam expect him to have relationship with his in-laws. They are like his parents. My advice will be based on the response to the above question

My advise will then be to seek the intervention of a scholar, or elderly person or any person you think the husband respect. He needs someone to sit and speak to him and advise him on the need to have relationship with his in-laws. He should understand there is life and death and anything can happen. It will always be healthy when one has positive relationship with his in-laws

I totally understand what you are talking about. Indeed Allah is Great and He will never let you down. Try to keep wudhu at all time if possible, also increase the saying of the following:
1. Auuzu billahi minashaitan Rajeem
2. HASBUNALLAHU wa ni IMAL WAQEEL
3. Laa Hawla walaa quwwata illaa billahil aliyyil Azeem

One will know that Allah is happy with him when he does what Allah wants and continue to do it out of steadfastness
Reference : chapter the Believers. Kindly go through the chapter and it will tell you what behavior makes Allah happy.

2. You will know if you don’t go back to the sin or the like of it. Also if you continue to ask for forgiveness.
Hadith says: Someone who repents from sin is like the one who has never committed a sin and the one who always ask for forgiveness is loved by the most Merciful”

Racism has no room in Islam. Try to talk to them and may be get someone such as scholar, their friend or elderly person to speak to them on your behalf. It will be nice for them to be part of the marriage. If after all these, they still refuse because of his ethnicity, then you are allowed to get marry

It becomes obligatory on one of you to go to Hauza and gain the knowledge. It’s called Wajib kifaa’i meaning sufficient obligatory

In this case, I will advise not to rush since you have your mom to take care of. What you can do in the meantime is to enroll online with some the Hauzas we have either in iran ( al-Mostafa International university) or in london ( Islamic University college of london).

This will be a step toward achieving your aim while you are at your comfort zone taking care of your family for now.

Perfection is to feel the presence of God wherever you are

Many Muslims, Christians and Jews agree with modern scientific theories but with the understanding that God’s will underwrites the laws of physics and is the ultimate creator and sustainer of those laws. From this position, He can allow the miraculous to occur as well as Creating in a anyway he feels befitting out of His Wisdom.

Based on this, there may be some partial compatibility between Islam and Evolution. However, the school of ahlul bayt is very clear about the creation of man, as oppose to evolution of man completely from apes.

If the objective is to arouse one’s spouse and guide him/her in masturbation to the point of having an orgasm, then this would not be permitted.


If one avoids masturbation, but has an orgasm by merely having an conversation with one’s spouse, then this also does not seem to fall into the unlawful, provided the objective was not to masturbate or have an orgasm.

only seeing or talking about sexual things or imagine about it halal way even you get orgasm...

It’s not required because it may be granted or not on a genuine ground or not. Emotions may be involved.
As I said before, he cannot just take second wife simply because permission is not required but he must make sure he qualifies to do so. Otherwise, he will be answerable on the day of Qiyama

The response will be more than one God will create confusion and anarchy.
This God will want rain at a particular place and the other God will say no. There will be a lot of contradictions. God must be One only and absolute independent

Both Sistani and Khamenei are accessible in English language. Anyone of them will be a good idea

1. Divine test is not for Allah to know us. But rather for us to know our limit and the unlimited potentials given to us by Allah. Test is to make us perfect and to appreciate the free will given to us by Allah.
The test neither harm not benefit Allah. It’s rather for our benefit if we truly ponder and reflect

Indeed Jinn exist and they do obey or disobey Allah depending on how they exercise their choices like us human beings. However, the whole talk on bad ruh or evil spirit cannot be substantiated or traced through the teachings of Quran and Sunnah.

No ruh of dead person will come and harm after his or her departure from this world.
Witch or evil do exist and can harm but our belief is that whoever obey Allah and strive to purifies his or her souls will not be harmed.

2. Jinns can harm like the way human beings harm.
Refrence is chapter
Quran 6:112
Understanding of the whole chapter Jinn helps one to understand the world of jinns

1. Ask them of their reason as to why the Hadith is Weak. They cannot just say it’s weak without pointing to what makes it weak. Is it the chain of transmission or what?

2. Allah knowing about it doesn’t mean that we cannot grief. Ask them why do they feel sad when loose their loved ones in the family? Allah knows everything including Good or bad. Allah’s knowledge about everything doesn’t necessarily means Allah is the cause of. Human beings have Free Will and we have hands in what happens.

Allah is in charge and so He must know.

Angels have no Free will: yes and they do things according to Allah’s Command. Cursing of Muljim is one of the command and they had no choice to do otherwise.

God almighty has different and unique way of exposing His message to the world. Imam Husein (as) is the most unique and the only choice of the time to expose the world the message of Allah. The result is that Issah will come back and follow the son of Imam Husein.

Majority doesn’t mean that they are on the right way. In fact Quran says, few of my servant are grateful. The fact that millions do Easter doesn’t mean they are right.

1. Yes someone who attends majlis, pay attention to the discourse and takes note is regarded as a seeker of knowledge without a shadow of doubt. Majlis is an institution of learning too.

2. Reading a book such as Al-Kafi etc with proper understanding and contemplation is considered verification of the tradition you mentioned.

3. Indeed the Hadith regarding fatima is authentic. And it simply means Allah’s pleasure is connected to that of Fatima. Allah is happy with a person when Fatima (as) is happy with that person and vice-Versa

Indeed remembering beautiful names of Allah has a positive impact on the soul. It brings peace and tranquility to the heart. This is benefit is realised when a seeker of the truth remembers these names with clear understanding of they represent. It also increases the love of Allah in one’s heart under the same condition.
In short the best way to attain maximum benefits from these beautiful names is to actually understand the names and their secrets or what they represent. This will ensure that you experience the names during Zikr.
I don’t know any English book. There are books written in Arabic in this regard

Constantly reciting Asma al-Husna with true and sincere reflection will assist a person reach perfection.
Although the best Zikr is Quran recitation and establishment of Salat

To become an Arif no doubt need high level of self purification. And the best way to start is to stay away from all haram and do the waajibat

3. Be kind at all time like the way you will expect kindness to be done to you
4. Respect others like the way you would wished to be respected at all time
5. Ask Allah sincerely to make you humble after salat

If you are able to hold the air without coming out, then it's fine and your salat is accepted. No need to repeat

There is no marja who has said we should add that in the tashahhud. Stick to what you have been doing in your tashahud.

They differ due to number depending on their understanding of the traditions as well as the traditions available to them. They normally differ on Ahkam in relation to it being musthabb, makrooh and the Likes. They don’t differ in what is Wajib or haram

I'm sorry to say the person misunderstood what the shia Ithnasheri is all about and where it emanate from. Shiism never emanated from deception and it's far away from deception.
1. Ahlul bait are the legitimate successors of the prophet
Reference on who are Ahlul bait in the Quran 33:33 from Sunni books : a) Swahiq al-muhriqa, vol. 141 b) Tafsir Kasshaf, vol.3, page 538 c) sahih Muslim vol 15, page 194 (sharh Nawawi), Ahlul bait in the verse referred to the prophet, Ali, Fatima, hassan and Husein. Kindly go and check the references provided above. Also check Sahih Muslim vol 7 page 122 and Sahih Tirmizi Vol 5 page 621.

2. 5:55: do you know the reason for the revelation? And why do you refer to it as deception. It was revealed in Ali. Check Sharh maqasid fi ilm kalam of taftazani 2/288
If you claim it's a deception, what's the reason for the revelation? Provide me with references to check.

3. Ghadeer is not deception: check the following references: Sunan Ibn Maja vol 1, Sahih Muslim vol 7, Musnad Ahmad ibn Hambal vol 4 etc

4. 33:33 is not a deception. It's real and truth. Check the references in no 1.

The verses you provided here are quoted out of context.

Once once the chickens are fed clean and lawful good for three days, they become halal for you to eat. Nothing to worry about

Imams are Arabs and so they always used Arabic language. Khuda is used as translation of Allah in both Persian and Urdu languages. And there is nothing wrong with that.
Yes, it may not give the whole meaning of the word “Allah”, but it’s the closest

Where were women forcefully made to bed unrelated to them against their wish? Prophet never did or allowed that. There was always a procedure in each and every marriage.

Yes indeed she observed iddat according to the traditions available to us.

You have the choice to consider it Watan since your parents are there. It is always better to feel at home when visiting your parent and not only bcos of fasting

So long as as you are sure of your doubt, the salat is void.

1. Allah never created Evil. This is simply because Allah is absolute Good and nothing else
2. Evil doesn’t exist. It’s rather relative as oppose to being in existence. Only Good exists
3. No doubt Allah is everywhere. Lack of something means, the thing is not there. So how can Allah be in something which is not there.

Roza is always wajib and there is no age limit unless if it's harmful to one's health. In that case he will feed instead of fasting and if he cannot afford to feed, then nothing on him

This is not Haidh but rather Istihaza. You will go by the ruling of Istikhaza and continue with your prayers and fasting until the blood comes and continues the way it normally comes. That’s the time you will consider haidh. For now, it’s not Haidh.

It's not only about 313. There is also the need for other numbers to assist our beloved Imam in carrying his duties. Once all the needed numbers are met, imam will appear.

I don’t think there is too much confusion. It’s about the understanding of the teachings of the marja we make Talqlid of during the major occultation of the 12th Imam. According to our Marja Ayatuallhi Sistani, one should physically see the moon and must have two just witnesses.

No doubt breaking a promise under general is not acceptable let alone breaking the promise with Allah. The good thing is your conscious of your action. What i suggest you do is to strive to stay away from the sin, increase the sayings of Astagfirullaha, give out charity to those in need depending on your capability. It’s not an excuse to keep going back to the sin. You need a strong will power. Surround yourself with people who remind you of your duties toward Allah. Avoid going to places that are tempted.
He is always Merciful so long as we keep trying

Allah is Great and He will be with you always and not let you down.
I will first suggest that you seek medical advice
Secondly, keep wudhu at all time

Try to recite Quran daily
Remember the tragedy of Karbala from time to time.

Allah will make it easy for you.

To make the problem go away you will need the following:

1. Appreciate yourself and thank Allah for who you are. Be yourself and don’t try to be like others
2. People are of different kind: some may be happy with you and others may not
3. Keep wudhu at all time
4. Increase saying : HASBUNALLAHU WANI IMAL WAQEEL

• The claim that there is more than one god is logically invalid

Islamic theology scholars mentioned various evidence in order to prove the oneness of Allah. The most important of them is the evidence called reductio ad impossible that refutes the claim that there is more than one god.

When we assume that there are two equal gods in the universe, it is definite that there will be discussions between them and conflicts between their wishes.

In the end of such a conflict, for instance, when one god wanted something to happen and the other wanted it not to happen, one of the following three possibilities would happen.


1. Both of the gods’ wishes would take place.
2. Neither of the gods’ wishes would take place.
3. One of the gods’ wish would take place and the other’s wish would not.

All of those possibilities are rationally invalid and impossible.
If the wishes of both of them took place, a state in which something would happen and would not happen at the same time would take place, that is, two opposites like existence and non-existence would come together, which is logically impossible.
If neither of the gods’ wishes would take place, it would mean something would be deprived of existence and non-existence, that is, the opposites would disappear, which is also rationally and logically impossible.

In addition, the gods would suffer weakness when their wishes were not realized. Weak beings cannot be divine beings; they cannot create anything.
In the third possibility, the wish of one of the gods would take place and the other would be prevented; then the god whose wish did not take place would become weak. A weak being cannot be a god.

Moreover, we mentioned that the gods would be equal; when one of them turned out to be weak, the other would be weak too because they were equal. Then, both of them would be weak. Weak beings cannot be gods.
Thus, all of the possibilities turned out to be invalid; and the theory that there are two or more gods is proved to be invalid spontaneously.
Then, the divine being that created the world is one. And that being is Allah, the Exalted, who has absolute perfection, power and greatness as a necessity of the existence of His pre-eternal and post-eternal personality.

There is other evidence that proves the belief in one God.

In my understanding, it brings integrity and honour to one’s life. However, one should not take it for granted but always try to do honourable actions and deeds.

You start counting from the Hadd tarakkhus. Thanks

Yes so long as it's not drug and anything related to that

Indeed he is capable of creating it within a twinkle of an eye. he did so in six days to show us that things are achieved through step by step process and not over night

The delay me be due to number of reasons:

1. What you are asking for is not in your well being
2. Allah loves to see you praying and making duas always
3. Your sins are being forgiven by Allah.

You should not stop asking Allah. Instead say: Yaa Allah if you think is good for me, grant it

Indeed Allah is Qadir and the Quran always reminds us not to give up hope irrespective of how long it takes to receive the good news. Although sometimes it can be difficult for insaan to keep waiting for long without complaining. The holy prophet explained reasons as to why we think our Duas are delayed sometimes:
1. May be the dua is used to forgive our sins instead of been granted what we are asking for
2. Allah is happy to hear your voice and that eventually He grant you your wish. Many stop making dua once their wishes are granted
3. May be whatever you are asking is not good for you and that Allah replaces it with something else. Hence good things sometimes happen in our lives without us asking for it

I know it can be difficult waiting but remained positive and keep insisting, the door will be opened insha Allah

Since you know and certain that one of the ingredient has alcohol, you are not allowed to it.

Yes the tradition is according to the popular description that it is of doubled edged sword.

The mainstream shia position is totally opposite what is mentioned above. The tradition above is not authentic. It’s often propagated by the enemies of Ahlul bait.
You will note that we as shia don’t claim all our books are authentic. Therefore some of the Hadith has to be scrutinised

Dua tawassul: not all that we recite are traceable from our traditions. Some part such as the first line regarding the tawassul of prophet are traceable in our traditions. Other part are not necessary traceable but we recite due to the fact that Imams are true and legitimate successors of the prophet and whatever is given to prophet goes to Imam by the fact of succession.

Dua Kumayl: The earliest and most reliable source that contains the chains for Dua Kumayl is Al-Saduq’s Kamal Al-Deen 1/274-279

From Abdullah bin Mohammad bin Abdullah bin Mohammad bin Abdulwahab bin Nasr bin Abdulwahab Al-Qurashi, from Abi Bakr Mohammad bin Dawud bin Sulaiman Al-Nisapuri, from Musa bin Ishaaq Al-Ansari the judge of Ray, from Abu Nu’aym Dhirar bin Surd Al-Taymi, from Asim bin Humaid Al-Hannat, from Abi Hamza, from Abdulrahman bin Jundub Al-Fazzari, from Kumayl bin Ziyad.

Dua Nudba:
It is an important and authentic Dua. It's deep meaning penetrates to the depths of the heart. This is enough proof that these are not the words of an ordinary person. They are uttered by the personality who has connection with the celestial world (Aalam-e-Malakoot). Allamah Muhammad Baqir Majlisi (r.a.) has quoted this Dua in 'Zaad-ul-Maad' from Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (a.s.). It is for the Imam of the time. And Muhammad bin Ali bin Abi Khura has quoted this dua from the book of Muhammad bin Husain bin Sufyan Bazoofari, from Imam-e-Asr. Apart from this, great Shia scholar Sayed Raziuddin bin Tawoos has mentioned it in his book, "Iqbal" on page no.295 to 299. Muhammad bin Jafar Mashadi Haeri has recorded it in book Al-Mazaan (Dua no.107). Qutb Rawandi in Al-Mazaar also records it and so does Allamah Majlisi in 'Zaad-ul-Maad' and 'Beeharul Anwaar'. Shaykh Abbas Qummi too has narrated it in his book, 'Mafatihul Janan'.

Who said many of the duas we read are not authentic? Most of it authentic and reposted from either the holy prophet or Ahlul bait (as).
The above duas you mentioned are from Ahlul bait. The way to be sure of the authenticity of the duas is through our books of traditions such as Bihar al-Anwar, wasaail etc

Quran doesn’t say just eat their food and marry them. The permission came with condition that if they are true believers. So long as you trust and certain that they are the real followers of Musah and Issah. This remain a concern and that’s why scholars apply precaution in this matter

Indeed the Holy Quran allows us to eat the food of Ahlul kitab. As to who represent the people of the book in this day and age is debatable

In this case, you apply precaution by abstaining from it

I wouldn’t say it’s Irfan is dangerous. It all depend who teaches you and what you read or learn about it. It’s basically learning to become closer to your Creator. Yes it can be dangerous if you don’t have right guide

In this case since you have not consummated ghusl will not be wajib on her and her fast remains valid. However such act has to be avoided at all time during fast it may lead to unwanted act in during fast or even take one out of the mood of fasting

Yes it’s allowed so long as it’s through your consent and that is your husband.

If you are married, then it will be only your husband

The above verse should be recited in the last Sajda of every salat.

You fast and the day that you feel that you really need the medicine, you take the medicine and later pay back the fast of that day insha Allah.

Islam recommend recitation of Quran, dua mashlool from time to time will help ease the situation. Have trust in Allah, follow doctor instruction and you will be ok.

What we believe is that during the reappearance of our twelve imam all those who reached the highest level of faith will come out to serve in one way or the other. That’s why some of the scholars are of the view that all our Imams including Hazrat Abbas (as) will come out because they all reached the highest level of faith

Yes it can be considered hijab so long as it's not tight

You cannot pay someone to do the job for you. The job is for you and none is allowed to do except you unless if your employer allows that. Otherwise it will be haram

Since it’s a government job and not private, you cannot let the manager do the job on your behalf. It has to come from the government policy. Otherwise it is still haram and he cannot do it for you since he doesn’t own the company. There are many people out there who will need the job for their livelihood.

Since she ate without knowing and then realized later. She will pay for only one day after the holy month of Ramadan.

She will do 60 days if it was intentional.

Thanks

Yes we are allowed to take loan so long as there is no any other option and one is in need of it

My advise will be for you to start with the translation and slowly you will get into the tafsir mood. Yes al.org is good and trustworthy.
The tafsir i will recommend for now is enlightening commentary by the groups of scholars. PDF is available online. https://www.al-islam.org/enlightening-commentary-light-holy-quran-vol-1

As I said above, start with translation. Try to spend like 15-30 minutes in a day. Then you will move forward progressively insha Allah

Yes it's allowed depending on what the share deals with. Meaning halal product.

The Hadith doesn’t mean you will never be forgiven. If you work hard in the other month, you will also be forgiven although not easy.

It simply means the chances to be forgiven easily in the holy month is very high. Allah’s blessings are unlimited. His doors of mercies are wide opened every second of the holy month. Therefore we should make good use of it

Thanks for the questions. Check the link below for full details of your question from Ayatullah Sistani

https://www.sistani.org/english/qa/01136/

1. Religion is not a dream and this is because dream is an internal existence whereas Religion has an obvious external existence. It practically impacts on people’s life. The essence of religion is to discipline man spiritually and physically since man is made up esoteric and exoteric dimensions. We witness examples of how Religion impacts practicality on people’s life every single day and this made religions forces to reckons with in today’s world and you are telling me is just dream and theory. On the contrary atheism is only in the mind and nothing of it is seen outside.

2. Religion is not limited by space and time and so you cannot limit Religion to only physical things and experiments. What Morden science is proud of were predicted by the Religion years ago such as force of gravity, coupleness in everything, theory of expansion etc. Science is basically trial and luck and so it cannot be compared with Religion. Religion has been tested many times and it has proved to be the way out. Hence you have good number of sciences who are religious.

3. Theologians never pretend. They rather strive to expose us the correct understanding of the nature which the science has failed to do so. Big Bang theory doesn’t stand any chance as it has not yet been proven to be real.

4. The world need an independent Creator who is necessary infinite. Otherwise relying on science and social science doesn’t guarantee harmonisation and cohesion in the world. Scientists themselves have a lot of contradiction amongst themselves. Therefore we cannot absolutely rely on them. Unlike the view the Religion hold on the creation of the world

He became Muslim in the year 6th or 7th according to narration after Hijra and died in the year 12th in the month of Zilhajj after the departure of the holy prophet from this world.

Your fast is valid and no need to pray back

Wslm thanks once again for the question. in that case, u don't have to break your salat. ignore the thought and continue with your salat

wslm thank you for the question. the above hadith is not authentic. imam Ali and Krishna are not the same.

wslm wearing proper hijab for a Muslim women in the West should not be a problem. it's your constitutional right to wear what u feel is good for you so long as no one is harmed. having said that: there is no separate hijab for those in the West and other places. hijab is hijab wherever u find yourself.Try as much as you can and Allah will help you. don't get discouraged

Wslm in this case, you try to avoid meat products. eat vegetsbles, fish with scales and the likes. for wearing, avoid leader ones during pesers. otherwise, there is nothing wrong

Playing chess is absolutely forbidden even without placing a bet and there is no difference in this regard

shahadat has diffirent meanings depending on its usage

1. martyrdom
2. witnessing something
3. bearing witness there is no God but Allah

Fasting for seeking nearness to Allah is allowed but not for any other reason.

wslm the only way to solve this challenge is to sit and discuss with nicely. let her understand your reason in a humble way

Wslm she obeys in matter which is not contrary to the teachings of Islam. Get someone to intervene and talk to both of you. the problem will be solved. visiting her parents should not be a reason for divorce. talk to the parent about it or the community scholar to sit with both of you to bring solution to the problem. wishing u all the best of luck

‏Wslm Allah is Great and He answer our Duas. keeping taking your medication and do duas. Allah is powerful and the cure may be on your way. don't give up at all. it's possible you can overcome the disease. I will remember u in my duas

You cannot apply the same technique when it comes to salat. what you can do is to try as much as you can to do it in a congregation for at least forty days. it will help a lot and try not to prolong during this period.

Wslm Yes you are allowed to do so since buying a house is a genuine expenditure

wslm thanks for the question yes it's true. if there were empty position the fourth front part of the head, you may wipe it. otherwise it is obligatory to remove the artificial hair if it were possible

Wslm I'm good and how are you. it's not allowed in wajib salat. you are allowed only in optional prayers

Wslm thank you for the wonderful and apology for the delay. it's due toMuharrama programs. yes you are allowed but in that case you should secretly recite your own Fatiha and surah.

wslm yes you are combine as all are optional prayers

Wslm thank you so much for the question and apologies for the delay. just came back from Hajj. No one has the right to judge you. I don't think the challenge in question is associated with jinns. it may be associated with OCD but that has to be verified. however, here are my humble advises:

1. Try as much as you can to ignore the doubts. it's shaitan who try to cast doubt and make it difficult for you.
2. Try to pray in congregation as that may help withstand the challenge of doubt.
3.  Prepare for salat in advance before the salat time. try to pray few rakats before salat
4.  Always stay in wudhu
5. Recite few verses of the Quran

wslm thank you so much for your question yes you are allowed to use the money for another good intention so long as your pledge for using the money for majlis is not nazar. nazar simply means to pledge between you and Allah to do something good if your legitimate desire is fulfilled.

it's not haram and not necessarily unethical to do so but preferable to maintain the mourning mood up until the end

Wslm thanks for the questions. it is not haram but the Dolls should not be in human form. nothing wrong to pray so long as it's not of human form

Wslm so long as the money from unlawful earning is haram to eat if you know about if (Quran 2:172)

wslm thank you for the question
