Q: My mom circles money around my head and sometimes even eggs for some kind of protection. I have a feeling this practice is not Islamic so I was wondering if it it permissible in Islam.

Q: I understand that it is shirk to intend to do worship for the sake of Allah as well as someone else (that the intention should only be for Allah). Is it shirk to have both the intention to achieve something as well as to please Allah when you're doing tasks that normally are not worship?

Say for example, you are cooking, both to feed your family but also because you hope Allah will be pleased with you and reward you for feeding your family. Or, giving your mother a foot massage both to please your mother and to please Allah. Is this shirk? If not, how does it differ?

Q: Hope all is well. My question is, 'does reason support or refute the existence of God?' I have been asked this by my Christian friend and would appreciate an answer.

Q: Is celebrating mawlood permissible?

Q: Someone says that the Ashaaira were never found in the time of Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and also in the time of the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu anhum). He says that they are only recent and its not good to follow them. What is a good answer to to give him?

This is what he is saying: Among the ulama in the time of our Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), there were no Ashaaira. Most Muslims know that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is of the highest level in all aspects. He says that the ulama believe that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is of the highest in all aspects of Islam. Who knows about Allah more? Till the big ulama like the 4 imams, there was no one who was part of the Ashaaira. Why were they are not Asharis? This Ashari thought is a bidah. No Sahaabah or Tabieen had even an iota of belief as an Ashari.

Q: I have an English project at school in which I need a very specific kind of urdu poem. However, I did not find any suitable urdu poem, so I thought of making up a poem based on a false story, or a real story but with false details, just to achieve the requirements of my assignment. My intention is not to report the story in the poem, but to illustrate the details like setting and characters, genre and the language in it. Is this permissible in Islam, or will this be considered a lie?

Q: What is the Islamic perspective on Black Friday sales? I’ve read that this day is linked to Christian holidays. Even some Muslim businesses are promoting items for this day.
