Assalaamu alaykum. I have heard scholars say that it is wrong to say that Allaah, The Exalted, can lie. Defects are not under His Power, since lying is a defect and Allah, The Exalted, is free from all defects. It is not possible for Allaah to tell a lie. Can we still say that it is possible for Allaah to lie? May Allaah reward you.

Assalaamu alaykum. I recently made Hijrah (emigration) from the USA to a Gulf country, praise be to Allah.

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

I have many hobbies in life that I enjoy in my spare time,.. More
