Calling oneself a Deobandi

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2019-06-25 07:54

Q:

1. I wanted to know your opinion on calling oneself a 'Deobandi'. I know that there is nothing wrong in follwoing the Ulama of Deoband and that is why I say that "I follow the Ulama of Deoband". However, I don't understand why people call themselves 'Deobandi' as it has become like name-calling now and although it might not be intended, it is causing uncessary groups and sects in Islam. The Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) told us to be united as Muslims. These days, no one calls themsleves Muslims, they call themselves 'Deobandi', 'Barelvi' 'Salafi', etc. Please give me some guidance on this name calling and what the correct way of referring to oneself.

2. if someone asks you what kind of Hanafi Muslim you are, what would you reply with? Would you call yourself a 'Deobandi'?

Is Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) superior to the other Ambiyaa (alaihimus salaam)?

Q: Two persons, a Muslim and a Jew, quarrelled. The Muslim said, "By Him Who gave Muhammad superiority over all the people! The Jew said, "By Him Who gave Moosa superiority over all the people!" At that the Muslim raised his hand and slapped the Jew on the face. The Jew went to the Prophet and informed him of what had happened between him and the Muslim. The Prophet sent for the Muslim and asked him about it. The Muslim informed him of the event. The Prophet said, "Do not give me superiority over Moosa, for on the Day of Resurrection all the people will fall unconscious and I will be one of them, but I will be the first to gain consciousness, and will see Moosa standing and holding the side of the Throne (of Allah). I will not know whether (Moosa) has also fallen unconscious and got up before me, or Allah has exempted him from that stroke." (Buhari 3.41.594)

Please give me a description, I thought that Nabi Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) is more superior than Nabi Moosa (alaihis salaam)

Following one mazhab

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2019-06-18 06:42

Q: I heard somewhere that all schools of thought are permissible to follow in Islam as long as you only follow one. For example, if I choose to follow Hanafi, I have to follow all of their rulings regardless of what the other schools of thought say. I just wanted to confirm if this is true.

Also, if Hanafis permit something that other schools of thought prohibit, would it be okay for me to ignore the others, or should I avoid it as a precaution?

The grave of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) being greater than the Arsh of Allah Ta'ala

Submitted by user2 on Mon, 2019-06-17 07:26

Q: Can you please clarify this view mentioned in (Manasik of Mulla Ali al-Qari, p. 531-532)

"The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) is the best and most beloved of all creation, thus even the place where his body rests was given this status that it became the most virtuous of places, even greater than the Arsh."

Is this the view of the Deobandi Ulama and those of the Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah? I am very confused. How can the grave of Nabi (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) be greater than the Arsh of Allah ?

Signs of the end of time in the bible

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2019-04-06 07:01

Q: I just heard that this year 3 super moons appeared and "The third Supermoon of the year is evidence of the biblical end times approaching because it coincides with the Spring Equinox and the Jewish holiday of Purim, a Christian evangelist has claimed."

Is this true? And are end times signs in the bible the true signs or not? Or the signs given in the Holy Quran will only mark signs of end times? Are the bible signs of end times going to happen or is it just fake? Kindly guide because I'm confuse and many people nowadays are saying that Dajjaal is near. What are the signs of Dajjaal coming or Mahdi coming? Is there going to be a war or what?

Participating in the Hindu Holi festival

Submitted by user2 on Wed, 2019-04-03 06:47

Q:

1. I read online that if one plays holi (hindu festival) then they are out of the fold of Islam. Is this true?

2. What if one is walking, not intending to play holi, just going out for work or leisure and colour is thrown on them. Are they out of the fold of Islam?

3. I also read that if one prefers holi or thinks it's fun, etc., then it takes one out of the fold of Islam and their nikah will be nullified, is this true?

4. Does just merely thinking this take the person out of Islam and is their nikah nullified?

5. Does just thinking holi is fun or wanting to play it but actually don't play it as they know it is a kuffar thing, are they out of the fold of Islam and is their nikah nullified?

The person would never actually play holi as they know it is against Islam. They just want to know if they just think it's fun, etc. what affect would it have.
