  • Impossibility of Allaah lying

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have heard scholars say that it is wrong to say that Allaah, The Exalted, can lie.

Can we still say that it is possible for Allaah to lie? May Allaah reward you. .. More

    I am pregnant by my husband, and there is an old wives' tale about gender prediction that says that if you hold a ring and thread over your stomach you will know whether it is a boy or a girl because of how the ring moves. My husband, who is Muslim, says that he cannot do this and cannot believe in it because it is a form of divination. To me, it is.. More

    Assalaamu alaykum. I recently made Hijrah (emigration) from the USA to a Gulf country, praise be to Allah. However, after I arrived here I had issues with the folks at my work and left for another job with a considerably lower pay. For me, as long as the salary is enough to get by, it is ok.

    Assalaamu alaykum. 1. I have heard that if a person insults the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,he becomes a disbeliever. Will a person become a disbeliever if he insults other Prophets? 2. Will a person become a disbeliever if he insults the Companions or the angels. .. More

    Is the following statement Shirk (polytheism): Allaah has given the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,special powers, he is all-hearing and all-seeing (omnipresent).

  • Calling Muslim 'Kaafir'

    Once, I called two muslims (let us call them A and B ) Kaafirs (disbelievers)because A said, "I am not muslim," and B said, "I am not a muslim, I am a Jew." Then I asked him (B), "Really?" Then he said, "No." Or the conversation with B was something similar. I think that they were not very serious. Anyway, later on, I read the hadith that says, "Whoever.. More
