Q: There was a time before I knew of whispers of the devil. I should think what if  Prophet Muhammed (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) or someone else wants the women that I want or I should not pursue to marry a women because I have great love for her ,she's beautiful, etc and maybe Prophet Muhammed (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)  or someone else wants her. I should also possibly think other stuff in this regard. I may have said stuff in this regard, will I be forgiven for them and are these thoughts whispers of the devil?

Is that act permissible in Shariah?

Q: Recently I was told by a family member that I am committing biddat by attending a zikr programme at a friends house. Once a week 4 ladies including myself  gather at her house to make zikr.  Before we start we read 11 times durood sharief, and the following tasbeeh \"Bismillahir rahmanir raheem\" 12000 times. After every 1000 1 person will read 2 rakaat salatul hajaat. While she reads the salah the others are engaged in silent dua individually. After she completes the salah we start reading the zikr silently till another 1000 is complete, and again a 2nd person will read the salatul hajaat while the others are engaged in dua. This way we all have a turn 2 read the salah. At the end of the zikr 1 person reads surah Faatiha, ayatul kursi, the 3 quls and a short dua is read. During the entire zikr no one is allowed to talk or engage in any worldly conversation. We concentrate and focus on what and how we read, and have firm belief Allah Ta'ala will accept our duas and effort. We make duas for the entire ummah, the marhooms, the sick, poor, rich, family members, friends, etc. Mufti saab please inform me as to how this falls under biddat. Looking forward to your views and opinion insha allah.

May Allah Ta'ala reward you abundantly in all your efforts striving for deen.

Q: I was advised that taking a mannat in the first 10 days of Muharram is wrong. Is this true? If so, why?

Q: I’m a 16 year old student from Northwood school and I have a few questions I am hoping you can help with.  

I’ve recently just finished reading the Qur’an and found it both an enlightening and thought provoking experience. I’d be interested to further learn about Islam though, so if you have any suggestions on how I should go about that, it would be greatly appreciated.

While researching Islam, I came across an interesting school of Sufi, Tariqa Casnazaniyyah. The followers of this group seem to be able to perform truly remarkable things, such as inserting metal rods through their cheeks without feeling any pain, without bleeding, without infection or, most amazingly, without suffering long term damage (it heals within hours or even minutes.) What is the mainstream Islamic point of view on such religious supernatural acts? Are there any practitioners of this school of Sufi in KwaZulu Natal, or in South Africa at all? 

It’d also be helpful to know where a non-Muslim could learn Arabic? Is the Mosque an option? I’m not sure when or if a non-Muslim is permitted to enter a Mosque. I never had the chance to go with my school as I am not an art student (they recently visited a Mosque, Temple and Cathedral for an art excursion.) What is the general protocol?

Q: I need some help with a definition and classification of bid'ah please, as per the scholars of Islam.

Q: Is Quran the words of God? Why Muslims don’t believe that the bible is the words of God?
