Renewing one's Imaan

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2018-09-18 08:17

Q: I recently discovered that some of my past actions were kufr and I sent some messages containing shirk. I have sincerely repented and vowed never to do them again. I made a general taubah regarding all my past actions then recited kalimah.

1. I would like to ask if it is necessary to repent specifically for each action as all I have thought about since is remembering specific kalimat I said. Do I need to do tajdeed e iman again if I remember those past actions after making general taubah?

2. Also do I need to perform ghusl after tajdeed e iman?

3. Can tajdeed e iman be made whenn one is junub.

4. What about my prayers that I said while not realising my kufr?

Was it predestined for Aadam (alaihis salaam) to eat from the tree in Jannah?

Q: Someone I know asked me a question regarding Islam, and I didn't have a substantial answer to give due to lack of knowledge. And frankly, I myself am in a delimma regarding it.

In surah al Baqarah 2:30 Allah Ta'ala told the angels that He is going to create a new being who will act as his khalifa on earth. This was prior to creation of Adam (alaihis salaam). As I understand, Adam (alaihis salaam) was predestined to be sent to earth even before he was created. However after his creation, he had to eat from the tree to be expelled from earth.

From my feeble understanding, Adam (alaihis salaam) didn't have any choice because Allah Ta'ala created Adam (alaihis salaam) with the specific purpose of functioning as His khalifa on earth.

So was Allah Ta'ala going to send Adam (alaihis salaam) to the earth regardless of his disobedience? Doesn't this also mean that Adam (alaihis salaam) predestined to disobey Allah Ta'ala?

Going out in jamaat

Submitted by user2 on Sun, 2018-09-16 07:36

Q: Is there any proof to show that a person should go out in jamaat for three days, forty days and for an Aalim to go out for one year?

Also, is mastoorat jamaat proven and can a person use the hadeeth of jihaad where Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) went with few ladies to treat the wounded ones can that be a proof to prove mastoorat jamaat? 

Performing Salaah behind a Salafi Imaam

Submitted by user2 on Wed, 2018-09-12 08:11

Q: Please give us guidance on the following:

1. We hear that Salafi’s don’t follow any Mazhab. Does this mean they are on the wrong path?

2. Will it be permissible to perform Salaah behind a Salafi Imaam and will the Salaah be in order?

3. Are the Saudi Imaam’s Salafi’s?

4. Does being a Salafi affect your belief’s, Imaan, fasting, haj, etc.?

Your comments will be appreciated.

Celebrating the birthday of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)

Submitted by user2 on Mon, 2018-09-10 08:33

Q:

1. According to the hadith, immitation of kuffar is haram. So if I eat a birthday chocolate someone gave me and went away, is it harasm? Because its a non-Muslim practice to celebrate birthdays.

E.g. If I got a chocolate on someone's birthday and I kept it and after 2 days I ate it, is it haraam because that chocolate was purchased for a haraam act which is celebrating a birthday which itself is immitation of kuffar?

2. Ruling regarding celebrating Nabi Muhammad's (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) birthday. Is it imitation of Christians, because they celebrate Christmas like Isa (alaihis salaam) birthday?

3. If a Quran is printed in an industry, like from softcopy to hardcopy, then is it man made or Allah made it? I mean if everything Allah created then what about the above case where hard copy of Quran was made by using a machine. Is it then machine made? Also if a man writes whole Qur'an, just as one photocopies, was the Quran made by a human because a human was the one who took ink and paper and wrote the Quran and compiled it or Allah made it?

Celebrating moulood

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2018-09-04 06:53

Q: What if I do not celebrate the mawlid but my mother and father celebrate the mawlid. Also my father is a sufi but I only follow Allah and his Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). People from the sufi masjid label me as a wahabi or a salafi. What should I do? They say I don’t love the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) if I do not celebrate his birthday. But the early Muslims did not celebrate his birthday and it’s not in the authentic saying of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam).

Doubts regarding one's Imaan

Submitted by user2 on Mon, 2018-07-30 08:45

Q: I suffer from doubts regarding many things. I am constantly remembering jokes and statements I made in the past that may have been statements of kufr. I have recently read about people singing certain songs that may have taken them out of the fold of Islam. Alhamdulillah I do not listen to music anymore. However I remember listening to and singing the same songs many years ago. I did not know the meaning of these songs at the time. I am now doubting the validity of my nikah and legitimacy of my children due to my actions prior to and after nikah. Is my nikah valid if I have commited these actions prior to nikah?
