Kufr

Q: If a Muslim imitates a non-Muslim saying 'I am a kaafir/kaafirah' (in a voice that is obviously not his/her own), does he/she lose Imaan? It was quite clear to the onlookers that he was not speaking about himself.

Q: Some non Muslims say that your Prophet was cursed. They say he fabricated against God. They give this proof وَلَوْ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بَعْضَ الْأَقَاوِيلِ Had he falsely attributed some statements to Us. لَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ بِالْيَمِينِ  We would have seized him by the right arm. ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ

Narrated Ibn Ka'b b. Malik: On the authority of his father: Umm Mubashshir said to the Prophet (ﷺ) during the sickness of which he died: What do you think about your illness, Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)? I do not think about the illness of my son except the poisoned sheep of which he had eaten with you at Khaybar. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: And I do not think about my illness except that. This is the time when it cut off my aorta.

Abu Dawud said: Sometime 'Abd al-Razzaq transmitted this tradition, omitting the link of the Companion, from Ma'mar, from al-Zuhri, from the Prophet (ﷺ), and sometimes he transmitted it from al-Zuhri from 'Abd al-Rahman b. Ka'b b. Malik, 'Abd al-Rahman mentioned that Ma'mar sometimes transmitted the tradition in a mursal form (omitting the link of the Companion), and they recorded it. And all this is correct with us.

'Abd al-Razzaq said: When Ibn al-Mubarak came to Ma'mar, he transmitted the traditions in a musnad form (with a perfect chain) which he transmitted as mauquf traditions (statements of the Companions and not of the Prophet).

Q: Back when I didn't know much about Islam, I used to occasionally say swear words like 'oh my ******* God'. I, by no means intended to insult Allah, and was mostly unaware of what I was saying, it would just come out of my mouth automatically. Did this take me out of the fold of Islam? If so, do my prayers between then and me coming back to Islam not count. I am very regretful for every saying it and would never repeat such stuff intentionally now.

Q: I said that a certain person is kafir without knowing that he is Muslim. I thought that he was a kafir. He is unaware that I said that he was a Kafir. What to do?

Q: The below prayer is always said in my country (Ghana) in most gatherings. Please I want to know if it is good to join them and say the prayer as a Muslim because most people have belief that this prayer is found in the bible. So I want to know if it is permissible as a Muslim to say this prayer? Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one.

Q: Is magic Haram in Islam?

Q: My sister said 'mujhe ganda parda nahi karna'. She probably thinks that parda is not a part of Islam. Is this kufr and does she need to say her shahadah again.

Q: If a Muslim says that they just want to die and go to hell. Does that constitute kufar? Does their nikah break?

Q: If someone angrily retorts that he or she is a Kaafir, does he or she bocome one? And if this happens, how should he or she rectify it?
