Q: My grandmother is a non-Muslim. She has dementia so she is not able to understand much at all, but if we can get her to believe in the very basics and say the shahadah, will it be accepted from her even though she forgets the next day that she is a Muslim? Please advice how we can help her accept Islam in a valid way and please make dua that she does so.

Q: I have a friend and she is really inspired by me and my religion. I am a Muslim. I told her about the importance of Islam and why she should embrace. She looked convinced but all of a sudden she said that she will get family pressure if she embraces Islam openly. I told her to convert her heart as Allah sees whats in the heart. She has accepted Allah as God and Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) as the last prophet. Is this allowed? Will she still see hell?.I hope she sees jannah. I dont want her to go in hell. I want every friend of mine to join me in jannah. 

Q: Is it true that when you are not certain about some fact in Islam then you don’t believe in that? For example, if I don’t know about a ruling in Islam, I don’t believe in that?

Q: Which one is the shahada? Is it “lā ʾilāha ʾillā llāh muḥammadun rasūlu llāh” or the sentence in tashahhud “Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha ill-Allaah wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasooluh”? I thought they are the same but not sure. Which one should a new Muslim or a one out of Islam to say to become Muslim? 

Q: I recently was asked by a non Muslim if I can tell him the shahada to make him become Muslim because he wanted to become Muslim. So I told him the shahada in Arabic and also in English and explained what is Islam and what you should believe in to be a Muslim. He did it and he believed on what we all Muslims believe so he became Muslim.

After some time this guy asked me that someone told him that the shahada you believe and the things you believe in that the other guy told you. With that you can’t become Muslim because everything he told you is true but you must go to a masjid and repeat it with the masjid Imam so he can repeat with you then you will become Muslim. The other guy took him to a masjid and the imam repeated the same things.

My question is that is this guy became Muslim the first time I repeat the shahada with him or no he became Muslim when he met the masjid imam which one is truth  Can someone regular not an imam make someone become Muslim ? Or no only imam can make someone Muslim ? Am I sinful because I told him shahada first time and he believed it?

Q: If someone takes the shahadah to become a Muslim, is it valid if he says it without sound (but with moving lips)? Or it must be in a loud enough voice to hear himself?

Q: I have a serious problem of blasphemous abusive words that comes frequently for Allah. Now I am just ignoring it but before I didnt know how to deal with them. A few years back, I used to correct those thoughts and repeat within my mind, by saying that Allah is great. And then I used to say blasphemy words to shaitan that you are this..... (bad and vulgar words). Sometime ago I was talking to my relative, and all of a sudden when I was correcting her I spoke those bad words for Allah. Since then I am very upset and have feeling remorse. Sometimes this thought comes that I am actually thinking these words on purpose.

Q: Why do the the Barelvis call the Deobandis Wahhabis?
