Q: When Allah thought about creating humans, was prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) the first to come to mind, i.e. did Allah plan prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) before Adam (alaihis salaam)?
Q: A thought comes to me that we worship Allah’s zaat, do we worship his attributes as well?
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 haraam to put kolam (Rangoli designs) in front of our house or inside our house?
Q: I get so many negative thoughts in my mind about Allah. When I see how my husband is attracted towards other girls and some girls in public also getting attracted towards him, I feel it's not his fault and that is how Allah has created men. I feel hurt when he gets attracted towards other girls and acting weirdly with them. I know Allah has created men like this. Even if I am the best wife towards him he will still be attracted towards others and he has the right to marry another woman. Even if we have the best relationship it is not a bad thing if he marries another. Allah has given men this right and didn't care about how we will feel.
How cruel is this that in this world we women have to suffer this much for men's behavior and we are reading in Quran and hadith that our reward in jannah is less than men. They are going to have many other women and we will not feel bad about this. Allah has made women depended on these creatures which are called "men". I can logically convince my mind this is what Allah's hiqmah is. He is the all knower and He doesn't oppress anyone but my love for Allah diminishes. I cannot force myself to love Allah. So my prayers are empty.
I feel like it's inhuman to a woman, allowing men to have physical relation with their slave girls, having more than one wife and after all these hardships we will get less than men in jannah. I don't want to loose my iman and I don't know if these things are making me kafir or not. I just have to speak my heart out and I don't want to loose iman. This is why I am writing to you.
Q: I want to know if asking help from someone or asking to make dua on our behalf is shirk or not.
Q: If any Muslim unknowingly conducts blasphemy (naoozubillah) against Nabi Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and then confesses his mistake and does taubah, in that case is he supposed to be killed? His tauba was private and nobody noticed his blasphemy but only he knows that he did something wrong, so what he should do?
Q: I heard some Christians saying this among themselves the other day that they should obey their pastor, he is held accountable for them. Is this correct according to Islam?
Q: Is it mentioned in the Quran that if we obey Allah our bread baskets will be filled and if we disobey Him we will get azaab in the form of locusts and flies etc? If not mentioned in the Quran can it all happen?
Q: I follow the Ulama of Deoband but I wanted to know whether it is allowed to label oneself as a 'Deobandi' because I feel like these terms and labels cause unnecessary division in the Ummah.
