Accept Islam first and then learn the basics or vice versa

Submitted by admin on Sat, 2012-09-01 13:48

Q: When one wants to become a muslim, do we first say the shahada and then learn the basics of Islam for example how to make Salaah or must we first learn these basics and then recite the shahada?

Place of Hashr

Q: I was told that there is no proof in the Quraan that we will gather on the plains of Arafaat on Judgement day, rather that there is proof in the Quraan that we will meet on the plains of Palestine(Jeruselem). Please clarify.

Significance of the 15th of Sha'baan

Submitted by user on Tue, 2012-06-26 15:15

Q: I heard from an Arab Shaykh that although there are some Ahaadith regarding the virtues of the night of shab-e-baraa'at (15th Sha'baan), none of the Ahaadith are authentic. Accordingly, we don't need to attach special reverence and significance to this day or night. Is this true? If not, please provide the authentic Ahaadith.

Following the Sighting of the Moon

Submitted by user on Wed, 2012-06-20 15:44

Q:  I humbly ask you please help me to find sukoon in the following matter what bothers me all the time nowadays. It is about our Islamic calendar. The Muslims in South Africa have Eid day on another day through observing the moon and we Turkish people follow the Turkish calender from "Diyanet" Musjid (this is a very big Turkish organisation in Istanbul and one of their Musjid in my town). I asked an Aalim what should I do on Eid day and whom should I follow. He replied that I should follow the Musjid announcement. I explained to him that they follow a calendar that is written a year before and that they do not observe the moon before Eid day. They determine somehow when is Eid day a year before. Next year we start Ramadhaan on 20.07.2012, Eid day is on 19.08.2012, Eid Adha on 25.10.2012, Ashura 24.11.2012. This is the Musjid announcement. I want to clear the issue if it is okay to follow their announcement for Eid days, Ashura and so on. Here in  Germany it is dark and most of the time cloudy and I can not go outside and observe moon. The place where it can be seen is little bit far from here.

Waswasas of Kufr

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2012-06-06 16:01

Q: I suffer from a lot of waswas about kufr. So sometimes I utter the Shahada to calm my mind. Does this affect my Nikah? If I hadn't actually comitted kufr but uttered the Shahada out of fear I had comitted kufr, would I consequently have to renew my Nikah as well? Sorry if you find the question strange, but these kind of things are in my head.

Birthdays

Submitted by admin on Wed, 2012-05-09 16:00

Q: What is the ruling regarding birthdays? Our muslims greet one another on this day and feel insulted if one does not greet them. Another issue is regarding birthday cakes, gifts and parties. Please advise.

Changing One's Madh-hab To Fit In With The Local Community

Submitted by user on Mon, 2012-04-30 15:45

Q: A friend of mine who was born in Pakistan had migrated to Indonesia. He has no intention of going back to Pakistan. Now, he has a family in Indonesia. He is asking is it right that he changed his mazhab because he don't want to be the only one different in his own house and the community. His wife is also a local there and his children are sent to the local madresa.

Keeping Good Opinions About Ulama

Submitted by user on Thu, 2012-04-26 07:16

Q: I'm a youth and there's just something that's been bugging me for a while: Sometimes when you go out then you hear people saying that nowadays a lot of the Ulama only want to know you if you are wealthy or if you pious i.e. the ordinary person is overlooked ( I know this is not true for every Moulana and there are many Ulama who are not like this). This has happened to quite a few people who I know where a well known Aalim will greet selective people. This kind of attitude puts a young person in a position where they feel a bit despondent. I was just wondering if you could advice me on this.
