Q: What is the condition of a person who says that the kalimah is just 'la ilaaha illallah"?

Q: I know that nikaah is not prohibited in any month of year. But my question is that, other ceremonies like birthdays, engagements, and any other celebration is permissible in Muharam and Safar month?

Q: If someone from your blood relations becomes a Qaadiyani then what should you do? I mean what should be your attitude towards them?

Q: I recently received the following message: Ihyaaud-Deen WhatsApp Broadcasts *Wearing black clothing in the month of Muharram*

Q: In South Africa, should one avoid wearing black clothing during Muharram as the Shias wear black clothing?

A: Yes, if wearing black clothing has some resemblance with the Shias then this should be avoided.

My question is, I wear niqaab, majority of my clothing is black, because I simply love wearing black. Whenever I go out of my house, I have gloves that are black, a jilbaab that is black as well as a niqaab that is black. Even in my house I wear black most of the time. Can I wear black clothing without the intention of following the shi'ahs?

Q: I am an Egyptian girl, 16 years old and I was born a Muslim in a Muslim household. I’ve always believed in Allah and prayed. I never had any doubts towards the existence of God because I was born a Muslim and my parents taught me from a young age, since I was born, therefore I had no option but to believe, of course like any other born Muslim kid.

I didn’t know anything about other religions and the possibility of existence of atheists except in ancient times as I learned at school etc. like any typical child. I was like “OF COURSE THERE IS ALLAH.” I was happy, I prayed, everything was ok untill a month ago. I started diving deep on the internet, after I had bad thoughts like “how is there a God... does God really exist?’ etc.

I fell into a state of depression, gradually. I didnt sleep, I didnt eat, I lost weight and I got sick and I had to tell my mom to help me because I can't tell anyone else such a thing. She kept telling me “Its the Shaitan, and stuff like that... and we watched videos together to make me feel better.

I became slightly better after overthinking all the time to thinking less. I was always afraid, but now I feel empty. Im so afraid that I feel like I surrendered to my thoughts. I need guidance again, I just want my strong faith back... What do I do? Please help me.

Q: If I uttered a kufr word or shirk word and said the shahadah but did not repeat the mistake again and never sought forgiveness from the sin and were to die upon that state what will happen to me on yawmul qiyamah?

Q: My family has a katham every year, the changing of the flags. I know it's not as per the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) teachings, and it's innovation. But I'm forced to do it, as I will get shouted at.

Please advise, am I sinning if I do the katham? I tried to refuse previously and I got swearing. They don't understand it's not as per the sunnah and I'm living under their roof. So I'm basically forced to do it. What do I do?

Q: When we say Allah ki Raza and Allah ka Ghussa what does that mean? I read that Allah doesn’t not experience emotions like humans so when we say of a quality of Allah that resembles humans, we take the end result as it’s meaning.

For example Mercy of Allah means Allah’s Favor. So please explain Raza and Ghussa in this context.

Q: Can a Muslim child follow his mother or father to church in order to make them happy?

Q: After my coming to my husband's house, his condition is getting bad. He got sick, he became bad looking, his father's business got hampered, his car is getting ruined from many parts. I cursed him many times that he should be destroyed. Is it because of this? Or I am just a bad luck? Because even before, once I went with him somewhere and everything was getting wrong. Should I leave him? Because I want him to be happy. What should I do ? This is not only my negative thinking. This is very clear that bad luck is after him right after our marriage. I can not take it anymore. Is there something like bad luck? Am I a bad luck?
