Kufr

Q: The below prayer is always said in my country (Ghana) in most gatherings. Please I want to know if it is good to join them and say the prayer as a Muslim because most people have belief that this prayer is found in the bible. So I want to know if it is permissible as a Muslim to say this prayer? Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one.

Q: Is magic Haram in Islam?

Q: My sister said 'mujhe ganda parda nahi karna'. She probably thinks that parda is not a part of Islam. Is this kufr and does she need to say her shahadah again.

Q: If a Muslim says that they just want to die and go to hell. Does that constitute kufar? Does their nikah break?

Q: If someone angrily retorts that he or she is a Kaafir, does he or she bocome one? And if this happens, how should he or she rectify it?

Q: Recently I have heard one scholars speech regarding kalima e kufr (saying bad words about Islam even in a joking way) can cause an individual to become a kafir and his nikah will break.

Actually my wife used to make comments about my beard some times that she doesnt like it and it doesnt suit me. The scholar said that saying this will make her a kafir (in the video).

Please suggest whether my nikah is valid and if not then how do I renew my nikah.

Q: I want to ask, I'm a Muslim wife and in the state of anger I committed a sin...Me and my husband used to fight everyday in the start of our marriage. One day I got frustrated and in the state of extrme anger I said why Allah did this to me... I'm angry with Allah... and from now I'm not a Muslim... I'm kafir etc... but I was very angry at that moment but after that I realised how could I do this... I'm a true Muslim and perform salaah 5 times a day... I made taubah to Allah for that sin committed in anger and promised him not to do it again... Kindly let me know if this will affect my marriage.
