Q: I have recently reverted to Islam while facing a terminal disease from which I might die in some months. I believe my terminal disease is a punishment due to my sins.
Is my shahada still accepted despite me knowing I will die?
Q: Can one take the sahadah alone without any witness?
Q: I came across the question regarding death and taqdeer. I am curious as to what is the situation when a person commits suicide. Would that person have passed away at that time either way?
Q: Can a person convert to Islam if he is continuing in sinning? For example he says that he will commit zina with this girlfriend. And he won't break up and leave her alone after their marriage. However he will not commit kufr or shirk ever again neither minor or major nor will he do any other things and he will follow all the laws of Islam except he will Zina... And he says his shahada despite wanting to continue his relationship. Is his Islam accepted or denied?
Q: If this worldly life is a test for the eternal neverending hereafter life in hell or heaven then why to bring a new innocent infant into this test of worldly life and afterlife test of heaven or hell after knowing that the probability of going to hell is extremely high? What is the reason of bringing children into life without selfish reasons? Even it is not compulsory?
Q: If a person gets wrongly murdered by someone, is it true that he would have died at the same time even if he had not been murdered? Was his life only to that point in time by the grace of Allah?
Q: Based on the Quraan, Allah Ta'ala will not accept any religion other than Islam. And it is in the hadith that if a Christian or a Jew hears about me and didn’t accept Islam and dies as non-Muslim then he will go in Hell forever. I want to ask a few questions.
1. Can a non-Muslim go to heaven? Can a non-Muslim make an excuse to Allah on the Day of Judgment that we were born in a non-Muslim family, so what is our fault if we were born in a Muslim family then we also become Muslim.
2. After the death of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), can a non-Muslim say to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala that no Muslim came to us and he did not preach about Islam and Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), so we do not know about Islam. So forgive us. If this is possible so it will apply to all non-Muslims who were born after the death of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam).
3. Is teaching Islam to non-Muslims such as Hindus, Christians, and Jews necessary on all Muslims? From my point of view it is very difficult and almost impossible to go to every single non-Muslim and teach Islam in this era. Nowadays, every non-Muslim can find information about Islam through the internet and other social media.
4. Good non-Muslims who serve humanity like mother Teresa or xyz who didn't convert to Islam and died non-muslims, will they go to heaven?
Q: Please forgive me for asking this question. Time and again this question comes to my mind so I want to find solace in your answer.
Islam is a religion of peace the only way of life to obtain the satisfaction of Allah. Allah sent so many prophets for the same until our last prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). If Islam came to our lives to bring peace, why is that so many Sahaabahs who were devoted followers of Islam, died in a brutal way? Umar (radhiyallahu anhu) was killed by a Jew, Usman (radhiyallahu anhu) was killed by so called Muslims, Ali (radhiyallahu anhu), Hasan(radhiyallahu anhu), Hussain(radhiyallahu anhu) all so devoted Sahaabahs died brutally? And if surrendering oneself brings peace than in what form and how it comes? Islam is perfect so it should make our lives peaceful, but I see the anxiety of heaven and hell, the problems of the world remains and the death of so pious Muslims die in struggle?
What is the definition of the peace? Is it spiritual peace inside and not of the physical bodily peace? I keep asking these questions to myself. We are in the right path still why we struggle more than the others who worship animals and idols? What is it that brings peace and what is the exact peace Allah is promising us?
Q:
1. Some say that actually saying the shahaadah is not required to be considered a Muslim and rather just to actually believe in your heart while others say that you have to actually say the shahaadah, which is correct?
2. Why does the Hanafi madhab believe that despite not praying, as long as they believe in the shahaadah's message, people can still be considered Muslim and eventually enter paradise. If it is said that the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)'s uncle believed that his nephew was not lying and telling the truth yet will enter hell? Is it because he refused to say the shahaadah, regardless of whats in his heart?
Q: If someone wants to revert to Islam, how do they take the shahadah? Kindly tell me those words (the shahdah) which one has to utter.
As far I know, it is like is, La ila ha illalahu mohammadur rasululah.
Are these words sufficient for the shahadah to again become a Muslim because it is basically called the first kalimah in Islam. Are there are some other words fro shahadah (for a person to again enter in Islam)?
