Taqdeer

Q: At times we get positive thoughts for example to give in charity / or visit a sick person but due to whatever reason (most probably due to tricks from shaitaan) we do not put it into action and later we regret having not carried out that act. Does this situation come under Taqdeer (predestination)?

Deen-e-Ilaahi

Q: I have read a lot about the new religion followed during the time of King Akbar called Din I Illahi. Do you agree to the things mentioned in Din I Illahi as it was derived from all the religions?

Sunnis and Shias

Q:

  1. From where the term sunni and shia came and why?
  2. Do Shias believe in the same Quran as Sunnis believe and in Bukhari , Muslim or they have other hadith books?
  3. Can we consider the both same in Touheed?

Will a person come out of the fold of Islam by committing sin?

Q:

  1. I just want to be clear about this, if you do haraam things like receive interest from a bank, drink alcohol etc but consider them haraam, so if you consider haraam things to be haraam but still you do them, would you come out of the fold of Islam?
  2. A Hadith said with people little amount of Imaan will come out from hell but as far as I know Quran doesn't says people will come out from hell. Qur'an says those who enter hell will remain in it forever. So will those people be in hell forever and is above hadith correct?

Superstitions

Q: In India there is rodent which is like a rat. In Gujrati they call it cher. It walks on the sides of the room. I heard you shouldn't kill it because it brings blessings in the house. Is this true?
