Q:

1. According to the hadith, immitation of kuffar is haram. So if I eat a birthday chocolate someone gave me and went away, is it harasm? Because its a non-Muslim practice to celebrate birthdays.

E.g. If I got a chocolate on someone's birthday and I kept it and after 2 days I ate it, is it haraam because that chocolate was purchased for a haraam act which is celebrating a birthday which itself is immitation of kuffar?

2. Ruling regarding celebrating Nabi Muhammad's (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) birthday. Is it imitation of Christians, because they celebrate Christmas like Isa (alaihis salaam) birthday?

3. If a Quran is printed in an industry, like from softcopy to hardcopy, then is it man made or Allah made it? I mean if everything Allah created then what about the above case where hard copy of Quran was made by using a machine. Is it then machine made? Also if a man writes whole Qur'an, just as one photocopies, was the Quran made by a human because a human was the one who took ink and paper and wrote the Quran and compiled it or Allah made it?

Q: In Islam there are only two celebrations, namely Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha; anything other than these two celebrations is an innovated festival or occasion and it is not permissible to celebrate it or to help others to do so. Is this ruling correct? I got this from website.

Also is celebrating birthday not allowed due to this if so?

Q: What is the proper way to dispose of a miswak and pencil stubs, and pens without ink?

Q: Please list the most favorite fragrance of Hazrat Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)

Q: If I eat wihout washing my hands and if my hands were impure then after eating if I say alhamdulillah and I say alhamdulillah after eating haraam food because I ate with impure hands. So is this kufr?

Q: What if I do not celebrate the mawlid but my mother and father celebrate the mawlid. Also my father is a sufi but I only follow Allah and his Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). People from the sufi masjid label me as a wahabi or a salafi. What should I do? They say I don’t love the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) if I do not celebrate his birthday. But the early Muslims did not celebrate his birthday and it’s not in the authentic saying of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam).

Q: What is the best way to explain to a non-believer that the Quran is the words of Allah?

Q: Is future telling haraam in Islam? There is a great personality in history, Shah Naimutullah wali who predicted the future of the subcontinent and it came true.

Q: I wanted to perform salaah so I asked my husband to switch off the tv, so he said "Ey" as if he was annoyed. Is such a comment kufar?

Q: I suffer from doubts regarding many things. I am constantly remembering jokes and statements I made in the past that may have been statements of kufr. I have recently read about people singing certain songs that may have taken them out of the fold of Islam. Alhamdulillah I do not listen to music anymore. However I remember listening to and singing the same songs many years ago. I did not know the meaning of these songs at the time. I am now doubting the validity of my nikah and legitimacy of my children due to my actions prior to and after nikah. Is my nikah valid if I have commited these actions prior to nikah?
