History

Q: How did Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) manage 11 wives? Is it true that he had given talaaq one by one before marrying the other one? Is there authentic hadith in this regard?

Q: My question is pertaining to Ibnu taymiyyah. He is someone that deemed the Mongol invaders of the Muslim world to be non Muslim as they didn't rule according to the Law of Allah, he didn't say the same though about his own rulers even though they were not exactly entirely applying sharia and he was loyal to them and never instructed jihad against them. Did he do so on the grounds he thought it is wrong to fight the ruler or did he not deem his rulers as non Muslim in the same way he did the Mongols and if so why didn't he deem his own Mamluk rulers also non Muslim for not ruling by the Law of Allah?

Q: I have heard that in your kitaab on the topic of Karbala and Yazeed, the respected author quotes from the book al-Bidaayah wan-Nihaayah. Such narrations are quoted which ibn-Katheer Rahmatullahi alaihi at the end of the discussion himself says that these narrations are fabricated. Is this true? I sincerely hope that Mufti Saheb will clarify this matter for me and many others who have heard this.

Q: I just wanted to know if Muslims believe that Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) was a descendant of Ismaeel or Ishaaq or somebody else. Please provide proofs/verses from Qur'an or Hadith. Other form of evidence will be helpful.

Q: Did Hazrat Umar (Radiyallahu Anhu) really divorced his two wives for the reason they were unable to conceive. If yes, how can an act of a person who is so respectable in the religion - considering he did have his kids from other wives and there were great Prophets in the history who had wives unable to have children yet they weren't respected, rather they were kept as wives and their statuses were honored forever.

Q: Who is Tippu sultaan in Islam? What is his story? Why aalims call him Tippu sultaan (rahimahullah)?

Q: A christian asked me what do the Muslims believe about Hazrat Essa (Alayhis Salaam) when he returns to earth? She believes or has been told in the bible that Hazrat Essa (Alayhis Salaam) will return to earth get married to a beautiful lady and he will be the new ruler of this world. I replied that is incorrect. Yes, Hazrat Essa (Alayhis Salaaam), will return to this world, he will break the cross, kill the Dajjal. Please could you give me a better explanation. Though I do know as Muslim whatever we answer to these Christians they will never accept what we as Muslims know is the truth.

Q: I was wondering, according to ulema, was Adams creation instantaneous? I read someone saying this about his creation: Was Adam molded as a rigid, lifeless statue and then did Allah say "Be!" and the clay particles were transformed into a 100 trillion cells each with a nucleus containing 23 homologous pairs of chromosomes, or did Allah create him over eons of time in a manner somewhat akin to the transformation that each and every one of the 7 billion humans alive today went through? whether the fashioning of Adam from clay was literal and instantaneous or figurative and over eons of time is not clear to me.

Q: Could you explain to me the correct opinion regarding Yazeed bin Mu'aawiyah? I read the book "Revealing the True Facts of Yazeed ~ The Incident of KARBALA and the Events that Followed". I found it to be very beneficial, however I have heard that there is a weak narrator by the name of Abu Mikhnaf, who appears in some of the reports quoted in the book. Is this correct? 

Q: Mufti Saheb, I have heard that some of the narrations in the book "Revealing the True Facts of Yazeed ~ The Incident of KARBALA and the Events that Followed" are quoted through a weak, shia narrator, by the name of Abu Mikhnaf. Is this correct? If it is, then can we quote from such narrators?
