Aqaaid

Q: My best friend who is elder than me (age approx 35) was normal person and use to pray and believe in Quran & Sunnah. He also performed ummrah this year with his family. Last week I meet him and he discussed few things with me on religion which made me surprised. He believes in Quran and everything Quran says. He believes in our Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) but does not believes in the Ahaadith which are mentioned in different books. As per him, Holy Quran Says right and is a complete book (thats true) but he says ahadees are manipulation by human beings and challenge authenticity of Ahadees. Also he do not believe in praying Salah five times because number of Salah and ways of offering Salah is not mentioned in QURAN. Also he belief Salaah means being close to Allah Ta'ala and do good acts. Also he disrespect different books of Ahadees and (ALLAH TALLAH for give me ) says why DAROOD SHAREEF is not in QURAN which is a complete book and says, DAROOD SHAREF is human made (NO DOUBTS HE COMPLETELY BELIEVES EVERYTHING WRITTEN IN QURAN AND HOLY PROPHET MUHAMMAD (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) IS OUR LAST PROPHET) After knowing his thoughts I am scared if my friend is loosing right path. Also if his thinking and actions can lead him out of Islam. Please tell me the easiest way to bring him back since I am also not a very practising and educated Muslim so I am facing difficulties to do the right thing.

Q: I live in Paris. I am contacting you for a serious case about a person who wants to convert to Islam. The person who converted to Islam is stuck because of his parents. He can not separate from his parents but he wants to convert and practice Islam, at the same time he is afraid of his parents.

It would be greatly appreciated if you could give the answers to these questions as I was speechless.

Q: What is ruling of celebrating the prophet's birthday. There is a authentic hadith that Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) was born in rabiyul awal 12. Ibnu taymmiyya mention mawlid in nabi.

Q: I want to ask if Allah Ta'ala thinks of a person that is thinking of Him aside from doing fards and sunnats? For example everytime I’m alone and I start to think/remember of Allah, His greatness, Sovereignty, Excellence etc. will He also think of/remember me the way I think of/remember Him?

Q: What if a person says these kind of words "istakhara is for world and we should follow our brain. We should not do istakhara, we do not need istakhara. People do it to cheat others." Actually I did istakhara and a man said these words to change my decision. My mom and I got the same answer, but I said to him that it is Sunah to do istakhara. He still did not believe it to be right, although he said I am making decisions using istakhara. And istakhara misleads you. Can that person be called a munaafiq? He was told that it is Sunnah.
