  • Case of waswaas (obsessive whisperings)

    Assalaamu alaykum. I am a junior doctor and a trainee. I suffer a lot from thoughts of dishonesty and wrongdoing. The last time when I was on duty, a patient came to the emergency room. I tried taking his blood pressure, but my apparatus stopped working. My colleague just wrote the pressure by herself. At the time, I was relaxed. Later on however, I.. More

  • Fear of difficulty to use toilets in Hajj

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I hear that restrooms at Hajj sites are hard to use, especially at Muzdalifah. I have heard this from male speakers. I wonder how a woman may use them then. It is very difficult. I mean, if I think about myself, starting from shoes (they are not open sandals like men), socks, trouser, shirt, abaya,.. More

  • Obsessive whisperings about committing disbelief

    My colleagues where discussing whether or not Allaah has a soul, and I thought of telling them that He does. However, I stopped myself, thinking that that would be talking about Allaah without knowledge and that He most probably does not have a soul as it is more likely than not that a soul is a created thing. Then I heard a voice inside me say, "Go.. More

  • Case of Waswaas

    I was muttering to myself about what I would say in an argument with someone over an Islamic ruling that I believed to be correct.

I did not remember since I had.. More

  • Doubts about committing act of Kufr

    This is about a person who said that she does not believe in Allaah. When asked whether she was a Muslim or a disbeliever, I said that I did not know. Even though I knew that the issue of ignorance or being forced to say words of disbelief do not apply to her, I said this. I had the feeling that I was missing something and was not considering something.. More

  • Transplanting body part from pig to human

    My wife will have a heart surgery and may need to change the valve of her heart. There are two options: a valve from a pig or a mechanical valve.

  • Hybridization of plants

    Assalaamu alaykum. Nowadays, hybridization of plants is popular. I am very fond of gardening. There are three types of plants: autogamous, xenogamous and geitonogamous. Either the plant pollinates by self-pollination where there is no scope of natural hybridization or by pollinating with different flowers either on the same plant or on different plants.. More

    I am a convert, and I have an old desk in my roomat which I used to eat when I was a kafir (disbeliever).

Its surface is not smooth,.. More
