Ruling on praising the religion or laws of non-Muslims
Assalamu alaykum. I read that praising the religion of the disbelievers is disbelief. What does that mean exactly? Are the following statements included in that:1. "The idea of democracy/communism is good by itself." (Meaning if you would view this matter irrespective of islam, but because it contradicts islam, you reject it.) 2. "Judaism is a good.. More

A misconception about the interpretation of Allaah being Al-Dhaahir and Al-Baatin
Dear shaykh, in a hadith, it says that Mohammad, salallahu alayhi wa salam, said, "You are Al-Dhahir and there is nothing above You, and You are Al-Batin and there is nothing underneath You." (Muslim) Is this hadith an argument that Allaah is not above his throne? What is the explanation of this hadith according to the earlier scholars of Ahlu Sunnah,.. More

Asking a mujaahid to intercede on the Day of Judgment
Assalamu alaykum. What is the ruling on asking a living person for intercession on the Day of Judgment? For example somebody says to a mujahid: If you die, then please make intercession for me with Allah (because the mujahid is allowed to make intercession). Would that be shirk (polytheism)? I heard a scholar say that it is shirk. May Allah reward you.

Faith comprises words, deeds and intentions
Assalamu Alaikum Shaykh. I am sending this question on behalf of some family members who state that they have a solid belief in Allah but who don't see a need or reason to follow all Quranic/Prophetic commandments.

Ruling on studying at the hands of non-Muslim teachers
I read a statement of Ibn Taymiyyah, and some people say that it shows that the so called marks in schools come under the same ruling. The statement is:
“And everyone who judged between [any] two people, then he is [considered] a qaadi (judge) irrespective of whether he is a person of war, or one commissioned into [any position of] office, or appointed.. More

Hoor is a description of color, not character
Allaah says, describing them (interpretation of the meaning): {Therein (Gardens) will be khairaatun‑hisaan [fair (wives) good and beautiful].} [al-Rahmaan 55:70] Ibn al-Qayyim said:
"They are described as being fair and beautiful. The word khayraat (fair and good) is derived from the word khayyarah, which refers to the woman who combines all.. More

A creature having mercy does not contradict the fact that Allaah is Unique in regard to Mercy
In Surah Al-Ikhlaas, Allaah says that He is absolutely One (Ahad). Ahad also refers to the fact that Allaah is absolutely ONE in each and every aspect, there is none that is similar to him in the slightest aspect. Some time ago, I read the hadith (in both Sahih Muslim and Bukhari) that says that Allaah created mercy and sent one part on earth and kept.. More

Difference between prophet and messenger in terms of conveying revelation to people
Assalaamu alaykum. What does this mean that prophets have not been commanded to convey the message. I do not understand what that means. It sounds as if prophets could keep it to themselves, but what would be the point of that? It would not make any scense to not share it with their people, so if you could explain this, then that would be great. Here.. More
