Aqaaid

Following a mazhab

Q:

1. Is it necessary to follow anyone amongst 4 imams? Is there any ahadith? What was their ijthihad towards giving opinions on ahadith? Did four imams mention that "in case what they were doing is later found to be not correct then we should ignore them".

2. Why some Muslims believe that only two shahih hadiths are only hadith and rest hadith like Abu Dawood, ibn Maja, an nasai and tirmidhi are not correct hadith

3. Should every Muslim believe in all ahadith?

Taqdeer

Q: If something is meant to happen it will happen, even I believe in this not even a single leaf falls without Allah's permission. But my question is should we try getting what we need or should we just wait for that thing to come to us automatically.

Allah Ta'ala providing for His servants even though they disobey Him

Q:

1. Was it because of the mercy of Allah that the Bani Israel still received so many favours even after they disobeyed Allah in refusing to fight the Amaaliqah.

2. Is it possible that although Allah was displeased with them and continued to make them wander, he still provided for them although he was displeased with them? Is it possible that this happens with us also? That although we don't work towards propagating Deen, Allah still provides for us, but he is not happy with us?

Questioning taqdeer

Q: I live in a Muslim country where majority live way below the poverty line. They have no roof, food or water. They live in slums amongst sewage, without basic neccessities of life. They are lucky to find scraps to eat!

My question is what is their fault? They know praying is obligatory but when you are spending your days scavenging for food in the trash, living in squalor how will the thought of praying even cross their minds? How will Allah let them enter heaven after death? Will they be forgiven?
