Kufr

Q: My best friend who is elder than me (age approx 35) was normal person and use to pray and believe in Quran & Sunnah. He also performed ummrah this year with his family. Last week I meet him and he discussed few things with me on religion which made me surprised. He believes in Quran and everything Quran says. He believes in our Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) but does not believes in the Ahaadith which are mentioned in different books. As per him, Holy Quran Says right and is a complete book (thats true) but he says ahadees are manipulation by human beings and challenge authenticity of Ahadees. Also he do not believe in praying Salah five times because number of Salah and ways of offering Salah is not mentioned in QURAN. Also he belief Salaah means being close to Allah Ta'ala and do good acts. Also he disrespect different books of Ahadees and (ALLAH TALLAH for give me ) says why DAROOD SHAREEF is not in QURAN which is a complete book and says, DAROOD SHAREF is human made (NO DOUBTS HE COMPLETELY BELIEVES EVERYTHING WRITTEN IN QURAN AND HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) IS OUR LAST PROPHET) After knowing his thoughts I am scared if my friend is loosing right path. Also if his thinking and actions can lead him out of Islam. Please tell me the easiest way to bring him back since I am also not a very practising and educated Muslim so I am facing difficulties to do the right thing.

Q: You know 90% people including muslims watch movies today which is very sad but my question is that when muslims watch movies where zina is shown other sins are shown and kufr and shirk is shown, then people come out of the cinema and say "Wow! That was and awesome movie". Do these muslims become kafir by saying that?

Q: If someone does or says something kufr or shirk due to lack of knowledge or ignorance or unintentionally, can he/she be excused or will it be recognized as kufr?

Q: If one sees someone wearing a cloth or shoe with a cross sign on it and one does not tell him this is haraam and kufr to wear, does one fall in kufr?

Q: Last night my husband came to bed late, so I thought i'll spend some time with him. I asked him and he said no his "tired and his not going to take a bath and shit" or his "not going to take a ghusal and shit" due to it being late. Does such a comment affect his Imaan and our nikaah?

Q: I need a clarification about the commentary of Holy Quran I downloaded online. The commentary was trying to describe the importance of Surat Al-fatiha and it made mention of one Ahmadiyyah Movement in the name of Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad saying he claimed to have fulfilled the prophecy relating to the second advent of Jesus by holding in his hands the little chapter, Al-Fatiha relating it to revelation in the New Testament prophecy precisely Rev. 10:1-2. I just want to confirm the authenticity of this commentary before I continue reading. I am very cautious of Islamic materials I read. I just to you, sheik to confirm or explain more about the commentary relating it to Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.

Q: I am working in Birmingham city university and some of my Muslim colleagues due to spending most of his time around non believers are a bit away from deen. He has this objection against hadith that we should just follow the Quran as its authentic and not Hadith. I do try explain him that without hadith one cannot understand Islam. Can you please help with it as you can provide me some verses from Quran so that I can relate it to him and any other means to make him understand.

Q:

1. I have heard that if a person insults Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), he becomes a kaafir. Will a person become a kaafir if he insults other Ambiyaa (alayhimus salaam)?

2. Will a person become a kaafir if he insults the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu anhum) or the angels?

Q: Few years before I have uttered some blasphemous words for Allah because of my compulsive waswasah. I was combating with Shaitaan in my mind and whatever Shaitaan puts in my heart I directly says to Shaitaan verbally. So one day my tongue slipped and unintentionally whatever waswasas I had came on my tongue. I have heard that all this is from Shaitaan and I need to reject and ignore these waswasas. My question is were my all past good deeds gone? Because I watched one video of a mufti, he said one who uttered kufriya kalimaat would be gone beyond the pale of Islam.

Q: I have emigrated from an Arab Muslim country to US and lived there for almost 20 years. I became a US citizens and gave up my original arab muslim country citizenship even though I can keep both citizenship in both countries. My original arab muslim country ruled by islamic law but there is a lot of corruption and in America we have freedom of religion and we have mosques. I love America, and have my home there, and my understanding that a Muslim should love the land he lives in and be a good role model citizen and respect the law as long as he is not asked to do anything prohibited in Islam. I wrote and said the following oath upon taking US citizenship:" I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God." One day I was searching something on the net and read something that was concerning, which was a fatwa by someone (I think from Salafi school of thought) answering someone who asked about the US citizenship oath and the sheikh said that such oath is an absolute allegiance (Wiliya Mutlaga) and hence is considered Kufur! I love my religion Islam. I also love The United States and alhamduliallah feel happy there. Did I commit any apostasy (kufr) by saying and writing the above oath? Am I still a Muslim! Please advise me.
