Suppose i am carrying too heavy bags and i ask someone to help me or i ask somone to help me with my work. Can you please clarify the difference between asking allah for help and some ordinary human being.Some people may say why ask ALLAH in the first place

Salam Alaykum, ShaikhI overheard some poeople in a park discussing the issue of seeing Allah ( subhanahu wa ta'ala ) in a dream to the extent one said that a person can get some zikr given in such a dream . I am not sure about this but need some clarification from you .may Allah continue to guarantee your health and eeman - ameen  

Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum. In the holy Qur'an, we read:  [then once you have taken a decision, place your trust in Allah (tawakkal `ala Allah)] (Aal `Imran 3:159). The concept of trust in Allah (tawakkul) includes action done to ensure a certain thing one has intended to do; the Prophet also told one of his Companions, "Tie the camel first."however, the above-mentioned verse and many other similar verses on tawakkul do not mention at all the "action" aspect. Why? Jazakum Allahu khayran.

please tell me in the quraan allah speaks of of himself as we no i ,why is this?

Salaam,My questions are that does everything in life happens for a reason or is it self inflicted?? Has Allah written our whole lives for us before we were born?? When one does wrong in their life (i.e divorces his wife) and upsets Allah does Allah punish that person in that lifetime??thank you.

As salamu 'alaykum. Is the name Hadi Ahmed acceptable? Is Hadi Allah's name? Can we use Hadi without `abdul? Please correct me. It's urgent. Please pray for my new baby. Salam

Respected scholars, as-salamu `alaykum.how can God place humans in Hell knowing that they would have done sin since He has foreknowledge of what they do? Jazakum Allahu khayran.

Aslaamu Alaikum wa Rahmat Allah wa BarakatoDear scholars,I have a couple of questions please and I hope I get the answers Insha-Allah. The first is in Sora Al-Kahf  18:50 says Iblees is from the Jin. Also in Sora Al-Aaraaf 7:11-12 also says he was from Jin (created from fire). So my question is, how did Iblees disobeyed Allah The Almighty when Allah commanded the ?Angels? to bow to Adam and not Iblees since he is a Jin? It?s not like the Christians where they say he is a fallen angel because the Quran Clearly states he was created from fire and angels are from light. Second question is, I am confused about the Islamic law for the Murtad (Apostasy). Why they are stoned to death? I mean is there a verse commands to do so, or the prophet did it? Didn?t Allah said in Sora Al-Bakara 2:256 ?La Ekraah Fel Deen? and also in Sora Al-Kaferoon 109:6 says ?Lakum Deenakum Wal Yadeen? and also Sora Al Kahf 18:29 says ?the Truth is from your Lord, anyone who wants to believe then let him believe, and anyone who doesn?t then also let him?? So I don?t understand the law against a Murtad. I once asked a sheikh (mulla) and he replied with an answer I didn?t like. He said what if a person from one military force go and joins an other country military force? He said they (the army) will kill him because he has secrets of the military. I respected the sheikh and didn?t say anything to him. But I told myself what are we hiding from other people? Is there something to hide? Then I asked another sheikh and he said he might bring harm to Islam so he should be put to death. I also respected him and went away without saying a thing. But in reality aren?t we bringing more harm to Islam by killing him? I mean what will other people (non Muslims) say if the see this act? In Sora Fusilat 41:33 says ?Who is better in speech than a person who makes Du-aa to Allah and do Righteousness and say he is among who is a Muslim?. So we should do righteousness. But like I said, if the prophet ordered us or the Quran ordered us to put ?death? to the murtad then of course I have no rejection.Third one is, what does ?what your right hand possess? really mean? I asked a sheikh and he told me slave girls that we can have sex with. I really don?t believe in that and certainly I know my religion don?t support slave girls. Although it is mentioned in the Bible in the old and new testament. Like in Deuteronomy 20:10-15, Exodus 21:20-21, 1 Peter 2:18 and so on. It can be found about what your right hand possess in Soora Al Nesaa 4:3-24-25-36 and Sora Al Nahhel 16:71 and Sora Al muumenoon 23 and finally in Soora Al Noor 24:31. And in Sora Al Noor it talks about what does ?women? right hands possess so I don?t think it?s slave or slave meant for sex. Because slavery is ONLY for Allah. We are Abd Allah (meaning slave of Allah). Also in Sora Aal-umran 3:64 says we should not take among ourselves Lords except Allah. And slave means someone is your Lord/Master/Controller. Or according to www.dictionary.com slave means ?a person who is the property of and wholly subject to another; a bond servant?. And also in Sora Yaa-Seen 26:61 Allah said to us (Banee Adam-Children of Adam) to only worship Him. Also in Sorat Huud 11:26 Allah say to only have him as our Lord and also in many many other verses. So can you please explain to me what does ?what my right hand possess??Third question is, how did Kuffr came into being? Adam and Eve taught their children about Allah without a doubt. Then their children also did the same, and so on. So the question is, how did not believing in Allah came in the first place?Forth, there are people who say that Allah is a pagan moon god for the old Arabs. I know this is 100% false but what is logical reason to argue. In sora 41:37 it clearly says not to worship the sun and the moon but worship Allah. I have used this argument but it isn?t effective against them. How can I convince them logically?Fifth, Allah said in Sora al-nisa 4:82 that there is not contradiction in the Quran and if there is, then it?s not from Allah. The following verses ?seems? opposed to each other but I know there should be an explanation for it. For example, in Sora albaqara 2:253 says we prefer some prophets over others and in 2:285 says we don?t prefer one prophet over another. Also in 6:34 and 15:9 and 18:27 and 6:115 and 10:64 says the word of God cannot be changed. But in 2:79 implies that the word of God can be changed. Furthermore, in 2:106 and 16:101 Allah himself says some verses are changed and deleted. Also 19:16-19 says only one angel spoke to Mary but in 3:42-45 says more than one. Also in 7:27 says Allah chooses the Shaitan to be with humans but in 7:30 says people make the Shaitan their ?Awle-yaA?. Also was Pharaon Drowen or saved? In 43:55 says he drowned and in 10:90-92 says he was saved by his body. Also will the Jews and Christains go to hell or heaven? In 3:85 says anyone who is not a muslim will go to hell and in 5:72-73 also says they will go to hell, but in 2:62 and 5:69 says they will go to heaven. Also in how many days Allah created the heavens and the earth? In 7:54, 10:3, and so on says six days. But in 41:9-12 says eight days. Finally, how was the Human created? In 25:54 and 24:45 says water. A clot in 96:1-2. A clay/mud in 15:26, 32:7, 38:71. From sand/dust in 30:20, and 35:11. There are more but I want to answer (explanation) to these if you please.I have few more but I will only ask this last question. This one IS THE most important one and I really really need an answer to it please. I want an honest answer please. The question is simple, has the Quran been tampered (changed, edited, played) with? For example, in Sora Al-Fateha 1 some scholars says that the besmellah al rahman al raheem is the first verse of the Sora and other don?t agree. I mean how did verses came to form in the first place? If when the revelation was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and at that time the Basmalah was a verse, then why are we changing this? Second, if you follow this link please (From your own site) http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar/FatwaE/FatwaE&cid=1119503545902 you will see that there are some verses (according to islamonline scholars) from the Quran were abrogated (meaning taken away from the original revelation). Like the verse (also according to your site) ?A married man and woman, if they commit adultery, stone them to death.?. I really am NOT understanding this. Is there any proof for this? Also in that very site you people also say there is a Wisdom in doing so. What are these wisdom? I really don?t know why Islamic people are doing this? Are they ashamed from the words of Allah The Almighty or there are verse they don?t want us (normal Muslims) to read? Also in that site you people say In another narration, `Umar added: ?By the One in Whose hands is my soul, had it not been that people would say: ?`Umar added to the Book of Allah, I would have reinserted it. It (the verse) read: ?A married man and woman, if they commit adultery, stone them to death. This is a punishment from Allah. Allah is Almighty and Wise.? Why did people remove the verse?!?! Is there a proof for the verse if it really exist? Why are they playing and tampering with Allah?s word (according to islamonline?or I misunderstood it?)? When did this happen? Is there not the original Quran to copy from in the first place? Yes there is, but why the removing and adding. I really don?t like the idea to go the way the people of the book (Jews and Christians) went. After I read the site I gave you I did a very small research and came up with these sites http://www.masjidtucson.org/quran/noframes/ch9fn.html http://www.al-islam.org/encyclopedia/chapter8/2.html http://rossdouthat.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/01/the_origins_of_the_quran.phpthese people argue that the Quran is either changed or not in it?s true order and some verses alike like Sora Al-Tawbah 9:33 and Sora Al-Sa-Fa 61:9 are exactly the same and also in sora al-safa 61:1 and sora al-hasher 59:1. I don?t know what they mean but is there explanation? The first link also says that the last two verses from Soora 9 (al tawbah) are false (128 and 129). They also say that the last two Sora are actually only Du-aaA and not really the word of God. Is this what the Shiates say? Because I am a Sunni. This all came on me at once and I don?t know how to react.Didn?t Allah said in his Holy Quran ??We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (fro m corruption)?? (15:9 from Sora Al-Hijr). So Allah The Almighty is the God of the heavens of earth and everything in between them. He said he will guard the Quran himself and we all know God cannot be mistaken (he is perfect), but if anything did a mistake, anything/anyone, then he is not God. Am I true? Allah said in Sora Al Bakara 2:79 YUSUFALI: Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from Allah," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby. Please help me maintain this wonderful religion as of now I am thinking (thaa?an) it has been corrupted! I really wish Insha-Allah you will guide me to the truth behind this. I just want to clear my heart, the same as when Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said to Allah ?Kay Yaatma-eena Kalby? (Sora al-bakara 2:260) Thanks!Sorry for the LONG questions and Slaamu Alaikum wa Rahmat Allah wa BarakatuBader Alawadhi, Dubai, U.A.E

Did any of the prophets ever speak to God directly or did they all recieve their messages through Gabriel? If this was the case then why did God not deliver the message directly? Also how did Mohammad pbuh recieve the messages? Did he memorize them in the moment and then retold them as soon as possible so that they could be written before he forgot?

Assalamalaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Can we call ALLAH (SWT)a Thing because HE created everything so HE is a THING? Is it right to call HIM a Thing?, Jezakhulahokhairan

As-Salamu `alaykum! Dear scholars, i have a few question although its sounds simple but i kinda get a different answer from my friends n relatives.1. What is the first thing that Allah created is it Nur Muhammad or the prophet adam a.s or is it the angels?2. What is Nur Muhammad? Is it true that every single thing that Allah created is with Nur Muhammad?3. What is Lauh Mahfuz?

What is the concept of Rights of people over other people (Haqooq el Ebad) in Islam according to Quraan and Sunnah? Is it true that these rights have precedence over the responsibilities, which people owe to Allah (Haqooq Allah)? For instance If  a patient waiting for the doctor  to see him and the doctor wants to say his  prayer with Jama?at,---- what should he do?

The eminent Muslim scholar and renowned Da`iyah, Sheikh `Abdel Khaliq Hasan Ash-Shareef, states: “Mentioning Allah or thinking of Allah in the battlefield has many forms. The most important of which is to make a sincere intention, in a way that coincides with the circumstances of the battle.”

Allah has created us to test us. But we don?t know what route we are going to take in this world, but only Allah knows, so why is he testing us even though he knows where we are going to end up. Yes, one mite say Allah put us in this world to prove to ourselves that we did do those actions which led to us being in heaven/hell, but yet again, Allah new where we were going end up in the afterlife.Yes, no human will complain if he went to heaven without being given a chance in this world, but a sinner WOULD complain that he want given a chance in this life. But yet again Allah has already said when we are born whether we going to heaven or hell?..but we didn?t have a choice from the day we were born, but rather it was Allah  is who decided our fate and not ourselves, so what?s the point of testing us and having choices, when Allah has already said that im going to hell/heaven when im born.

As-salamu `alaykum. What is the time and the conditions when repentance is not accepted? Why is it closed at this point? Can you explain this by providing reasons?

Scholars of Islam, As-Salaam `Alaykum. Is the God of the Bible “Yahweh” the same as the God of Islam “Allah”, since I am new to Islam and one of my Muslim brothers told me that the God of the Bible is the God of Israel and the God of the Qur’an, Allah, is the true God. Is that true because I am confused, for Moses and several other Prophets are mentioned in the Qur’an?

Dear scholars, As-salamu `alaykum. I read some verses that seem to indicate that the slaves of the Most Merciful are only the believers, such as this verse:  (And the (faithful) slaves of the Most Gracious (Allah) are those who walk on the earth in humility and sedateness) (Al-Furqan 25: 63). But some other verses indicate that all people are the slaves of Allah, such as the following: (There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes unto the Most Gracious (Allah) as a slave) (Maryam 19: 93). How can we reconcile between these verses? Jazakum Allah khayran.

As salam alaykum dear scholar, I hope everything is at its best by the grace and blessings of Allah Subhanahu wa Taala. I want to get more and more closer to Allah Subhanahu wa Taala. Alhamdulillah I pray 5 times,recite quran everyday, try to act as much as I can according to the Quran and Sunnah. I still want to learn more about Islamic Fiqh, Islamic Ruling. I feel sich when I see that the world is going astray and even the muslims are trying to compromise with their Deen. I get confused at times. I feel so guilty myself. I cry out to Allah alone. I dont need the materialistic pleasure of this world. My life has been totally haphazard. Please guid me and help me. Also remember me in your duas and prayers. (please do not publish my name and email) jazakumullah khair.ma salam.

Assalamu alaikum.Will Allah change fate?This Verse says?Allah blots out what He Wills and confirms(what He Wills)?13:39.If Allah changes fate then what is the difference between a ruler who goes on amending constitution and Allah?.Also explain to me clearly,as I asked many and did not get an answer-Has Allah already DECIDED our fate or is it only written?Was Salaam.

Assalamualaikum,as part of an ongoing debate my R.E class have been asked for the next session to forward arguements for and against to this question "Do you think that natural disasters disaprove the arguements that the universe was created by God?" I would be grateful if you could Please help me to prepare myself to put forward arguements to prove that Allah did create the universe, i cant argue that He didnt cz im a believer and i want it to be positive. Jazakallah kheyr. ps. i am 12 and in class there are some who believe in evolution, atheists, christians and 4 Muslims including myself.

What is our `Aqeedah with respect to the attributes of Allah when Allah says referring to Himself, “Istawa `ala al-`arshi” in the Qur’an; do we interpret these literally? Is it valid to say Allah is above the throne?

Assalamou 3alaykoum,After reading a book about distances in the cosmos I'm wondering about whether there is only one creator almighty Allah which had had create this universe(I believe I'm conveinced that Allah is the only one is present in the skies and earth):Allah said in the holy Koran that if there was (?in the skies and the earth? ) another God than Allah he had had sought to the one who owned the throne a way.And also: if there was ( ?in the skies and the earth?) another God than Allah then they would be spoiled.Also that the throne of Allah wide enough to the skies and earth. AYATE AL ARCHfinally I've heard about a Hadith where The Almighty Allah Glorify himself before he create the universe.I'm wondering about the knowledge and the power  of Allah soubhanah beyond the skies and the earth I think I'm sure that Allah Know all about Earth and skies because he is the creator but what about elsewhere?: is it allowed to wonder about this things or to follow the ayat:? la ta9fou ma layessa laka bihi 3elm? known that I still doing my prayer...? and if you could put more light on the subject I will be greatfull.Jazakoum llahou khayeran

As-salamu `alaykum. Please explain a matter of `aqeedah (belief) to me. Is Allah Almighty everywhere? I know He has power over everything. Does believing that Allah Almighty is everywhere lead to shirk (associating other partners with Allah), as it seems to indicate He is everywhere in creation and therefore a part of creation (na`wuzubillah)?

how to prove oness of allah?

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. After the repeated defeats that have befallen our nation, we want to know what is the right path to Allah’s victory. We have lost all confidence in the glittering and false promises our leaders give us. We want to know the right path to Allah’s victory so that we follow it. Jazakum Allah khayran.

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. How do I overcome my infertility even though I had a child a year ago with some very tough medication and du`a’ (supplication), etc. Why this test from Allah again? Will I succeed with the same du`a’? Please make du`a’ for me. Thanks.

Dear scholars, As-Salaam `Alaykum Waramatullah Wabarakatuh! There is a case on which we need your opinion. Some people claim that we can use the word “terror” for Allah, since He can destroy everything at any time. So we can even refer to Him as “the greatest terror”. Is this correct in Islamic perspective?

Scholars of Islam, as-Salamu `alaykum. I am curious about the nature of Allah. I know Allah is not a person, nor anything like a man, but the Qur’an always refers to Allah as “He” or “Him” and even sometimes “I” and “We”. Is this just for our understanding, or maybe something that is lost in the translation? I see Allah as an unfolding, never ending source of power, but without any emotion or the same kind of thought process as mortals. I was wondering if you could help me on this.

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. I feel Allah's endless bounties showered on me, but I do not know how to show gratitude to Allah for His countless graces. I heard about Salat ash-shukr, but I do not know how to perform it. Can you please tell me? May Allah reward you!

Why are we tested so much on this earth and these tests are based on whether we have to believe that a creator exists and we have to remind ourselves of this creator 5 times a day. Why cant we go to heaven by just being kind to others, performing good deeds and being honest. Surely that will “get  a ticket in”

I was wondering if you could possibly help me resolve some conflicting issues. If God is All-Powerful, He must be able to prevent evil. If God is All-Good, He must want to prevent evil. But evil and suffering exist. How is it possible for God to be both All-Powerful and All-Good and still allow a world in which evil and su ffering exist? I would greatly appreciate a response.

Respected Sheikhs, As-Salamu `alaykum. Why is Allah referred to in the Qur'an by the masculine pronoun, "He", when Allah is neither man nor woman? Jazakum Allah khayran.

As-Salaam `Alaykum. I feel very bad about this feeling, but I don’t know how to get rid of it. All the people I know, who don’t pray and do lots of the Haram (unlawful), go on holidays and I can’t because of financial problems. Sometimes when I go out, I see someone spending money, I get jealous. I don’t like this feeling. I hate it. what should I do?

Dear Scholars, As-Salaamu `alaykum. Why should we love Allah more than anything else? And how can we achieve this? Jazakum Allah khayran.

Is it permissible for a person to seek an intermediary between him and Allah?

Dear Sheikh, As-Salamu `alaykum. I have committed evil but want to sto p and serve Allah and become a perfect Muslim. Will I still be punished for my wrongdoing?

Salam 3alykom wa rahmat Allah. I know that God has assigned certain people to be in others' service and help. I cannot hear of a person in need or help and not offer it, specialy my parents, my in-laws among my sisters and brothers .. But instead of leaving this for my ability and time. I am continually asked to do even if others can and should. My children are accusing me of being so weak and letting myself be used. I say it is God's will and it is His satisfaction that he made me servant to all. In fact, I am getting tired and wonder who is right my children or myself??

Dear scholars, as-Salamu `alaykum. The Qur’an tells us that only God knows whether the child will be a male or female. But now with the latest techniques (ultra-sound, x-rays and other modern technologies), doctors can discern whether the fetus is male or female? How can we explain the authenticity of the Qur’an following this scientific achievement? Jazakum Allah khayran.

As-Salamu `alaykum, How can I respond to a question like: “Where did God come from?” Thank you in advance.

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. Some fellow Muslims speak of the will of Allah. When they do something wrong, they simply say, "it was Allah’s will." Don't they understand that Allah willed humans to have free will, giving humans reason and the ability to shape their own destiny?

When Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said "Allah created Adam in His image" what does "his image" refer to and how should we understand it?

Dear scholars, As-salamu `alaykum. Why is there is so much fear of Allah? We should love Allah, not be scared of Him. Jazakum Allahu khayran.

Dear Sheikh! Salam `Alaykum! I would like to ask if we have right to know about Allah! Do Allah allow us to know about Him? Could you enlighten me in this regard please?

How can a person know that Allah is pleased with him?

Dear scholars, As-Salamu `alaykum. Allah will put some people into Hell fire for eternity on the Day of Judgment. How can I explain to a non-Muslim that my God is Merciful when some people will be condemned forever? Jazakum Allah khayran.
