Meaning of Haneef

Q: What is the religion known as Hanif? I know it is related to Hazrat Ibrahim AS. There was a website saying that we should follow Hanif Islam (the religion of Hazrat Ibrahim AS). At that moment I thought angrily and in disgust that there should be no other religion in Islam that should be followed. Have I done kufr by belittling the religion of Hazrat Ibrahim AS?

Thoughts of kufr

Q: I suffer from waswas regarding kufr. I had said something and doubted whether what I said was correct or not and what if I have done kufr. Later on I completely forgot about what I said. So I took my shahadah and said that I wouldn't do it till I get it confirmed. In a sense I was neither confirming nor denying it. Have I done correct. I'm afraid I might have disbelieved in what I must believe in

Allegation made by the Shia

Q: I read somewhere that the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) threatened his wives to divorce and Hazrat Aisha (RA) is threatened many times with divorce in Quran. By threaten, I mean in a very severe manner. Is this true? Or is it a malicious allegation by Shia?

False allegations and accusations levelled against the Ulama of Deoband

Q: I was watching a religious show on TV, there was this Mufti who said that we should not offer salah behind a Deobandi since they say bad things about RasoolAllah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). How should we reply to such people who say such things and are misguiding the innocent people and creating doubts in their hearts and minds regarding the Ulamas of Deoband?

Committing evil with the intention of repenting later

Q: In Islam it's all about the intention. I read that if a person had an intention to commit a sin and he refrained from that for some other reason than Allah, he will be punished for that sin. So according to this, will a person be punished for being ready to commit shirk with the idea of asking forgiveness? Because I am suffering from waswas for long time. For some reason I thought asking doubt is shirk then I thought of doing that and ask forgiveness from Allah after that I got to know that asking doubt is not shirk but I was ready to ask doubt so will I be punished for this? Do I have to say the kalima and do sahada again?

Uttering statements that lead to kufr

Q: Recently I have heard one scholars speech regarding kalima e kufr (saying bad words about Islam even in a joking way) can cause an individual to become a kafir and his nikah will break.

Actually my wife used to make comments about my beard some times that she doesnt like it and it doesnt suit me. The scholar said that saying this will make her a kafir (in the video).

Please suggest whether my nikah is valid and if not then how do I renew my nikah.
