Angels seeing what we do

Submitted by user2 on Wed, 2022-08-10 08:34

Q: “Watching (raqeeb) and ready to record (‘ateed) are two characteristics of the angels who are appointed to record everything that the son of Adam does, good and evil. They are characteristics that apply to each of the two recording angels. The angel on the right is watching and ready to record, and the angel on the left is watching and ready to record.”

What is meant by “watching”, does it mean that they see all that we do?

Feeling lazy to carry out extra ibaadat

Submitted by user2 on Wed, 2022-08-10 08:04

Q: I think I'm a liar and a munaafiq because the lovers of Allah Ta'ala love to worship Allah Ta'ala. I sometimes get tired, lazy and there are days when I feel like I just want to relax and give it a break.

Many times it happens at tahajjud time where I do not want to get up, I have to force myself, and sitting from tahajjud to ishraaq is a very big problem.

How can I overcome this problem of laziness. Isn't the lovers of Allah Ta'ala cannot get enough of worshipping Allah Ta'ala? There are days I just want to sit and do nothing extra. How can I overcome this condition?

Participating in khatams and salaami

Submitted by user2 on Sun, 2022-07-31 08:00

Q:

1. I have advised my family that on my passing they should not hold any gathering of 3, 10 or 40 days but instead make dua for me to get the sawaab. Please advise if this was right or wrong.

2. I also do not attend any zikr or khatam programmes organised by my family and gave them the reason that I have noticed that during these events, the programme continues into salaah times thus many miss their salaah. Please commment.

3. I am asked again and again as to why I do not stand for salami and why I do not read salami. Can Mufti give me an answer that will satisfy them. I advised them that as far as I know the Angels deliver the salaam and durood to Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and also that I do not believe that my Nabi is present in these gatherings.

Believing that one is speaking to the souls of the Auliyaa

Submitted by user2 on Mon, 2022-07-04 07:41

Q: If a person claims to be in contact with the souls of Auliyaa Allah whom he can call to help and solve the problems of people. One day, if a person having who has marital problems has gone to that person to solve his problems so that he can lead a good married life. The first person claims that he can call the soul of a high Auliyaa Allah who can speak in 5 different languages and when he would enter his body and start conversing, the other person may start talking in any of the 5 languages and ask whatever question he wants to get any answer from the unseen.

The second person started believing the first person and when he went to the person, he started reciting a few duas to call the soul and after sometime, the person no longer knows what's happening and his eyes are closed and starts talking as if another person is talking. He claims to be Imaam Hussain (radhiyallahu anhu), the grandson of the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) who was made shaheed in karbala. He asked to the person what does he want to know. The person started talking directly to the "soul" about his problems and also asked him to make dua that he becomes rich one day. The soul said to him you will surely become but do you promise that you will give charity your whole life when you become same. He said yes. The person having the soul put his hand on the second person's forehead and started reciting dua and afterwards the soul vanished and the person regained consciousness. The second person started believing that he actually got opportunity to speak to soul of Imam Hussain (radhiyallahu anhu) and he also made dua.

Later when he asked some scholars, he came to know that there was no soul who could enter that person's body and in reality it was a Jinn who was lying. Has the person committed an act of kufr who has gone to seek help from that person and is it compulsory for him to renew his nikaah after he renewed his Imaan?

Teaching children Hajj and Tawaaf around a box covered in cloth like the Ka‘bah

Submitted by user2 on Sun, 2022-07-03 06:39

Q: The school my child attends has asked me to dress my children in white garments, so that they can teach them how to perform the rituals of Hajj and tawaaf in a practical way but there will be a “Ka‘bah” (a simple big box covered in cloth) for teaching purposes only; is that permissible? They will make 'tawaaf' and sit facing the Ka‘bah making dua.

Confining Allah Ta'ala to space and time

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2022-06-21 08:37

Q: I want to know if it's true that Imam Abu Hanifah (alaihir rahmah) mentioned in Al-Fiqh ul Akbar that if a person does not not believe Allah is above the arsh, he has made kufr or is this attribution mawdhoo and did Imam Tirmidhi (alaihir rahmah) say that ta'weel is a bid'ah?
