  • Prayer of repentance is not a condition for making repentance

    I want to know if Istighfaar (asking forgiveness) with the intention of repenting (regret, sincerity, and so on) is counted as repentance or if the only way of repenting is praying Salat At-Tawbah(prayer of repentance). This is the fifth time I ask you this question; would it really be that hard to write me a specific fatwa instead of redirecting me.. More

  • Attaining Firdaws possible for every Muslim

    Assalaamu alaykum, Scholars. I was discussing with the imam of our Islamic communtity how a person can get the highest rank in Paradise (Al-Firdaws), and he told me that each person is skilled in different forms of worship; for instance, a person often fasts voluntarily, another person prays a lot at night, another gives a lot of charity, and he told..

  • How person feels about people who wronged him

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. I am being wronged by disbelievers. They trouble and torture me.

When I see them being happy, cheerful, joyful, and laughing out loud, it causes me to feel pain inside, for they.. More

  • Worshipping Allah to have prayers answered

    My problem is that I feel that every act of worship that I perform is done for the sake of having my prayer answered. I fast because the supplication of the fasting person will be answered; I pray the supererogatory prayers in order to come nearer to Allaah so that He would accept my supplication. In brief, I feel that all my worship is not purely for.. More

  • Good morals required towards all people

    Assalaamu alaykum. Is it okay for a woman to onlyfully respect her husband and not be kind (even to the extent of being arrogant) towards others such as her in-laws, children, siblings, and other people?

  • Doing obligatory worship only and dedicating time to worldly advancement

    Assalaamu alaykum. Is it permissible for someone to just limit themselves to the obligatory duties of Islam to dedicate most of their time to a wordly, permissible field that they think they will do exceptionally well in? For example, someone wants to be a great mathematician, so they spend almost all their time to be the best at it without neglecting.. More

  • Fear of showing off in reciting Quran

    Asaalaamu alaykum, Shaykh. I am on the path of memorising the Quran. Since I started this path, I have been having doubts whether I memorise Quran to impress others with the way that I recite (Tilaawah). I am very afraid of that, so I sometimes change my Tilaawah to another one that does not cause me such thoughts, but I do not like it that much. I.. More

  • Fearing insincerity of intention in doing good deeds

    Asslaamu alaykum, Shaykh. I have read almost all the fatwas regarding the intention, but I still have the same concern. The fact is that I am memorising the Quran, and I recite it in a particular way which I think causes me to think that I recite like this to gain fame, for example.

  • How to attain Jannatul-Firdaws

    Assalaamu alaykum. 1) In the Quran, it is said like, “I have prepared for My slaves what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart can imagine.” Recite if you wish, “No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do.” So is 'recite if u wish' a prescribed supplication for Paradise? If it.. More

  • Pardoning others but continuing to hate them

    Assalaamu alaykum. My question is regarding forgiving others who have hurt you: is it enough to forgive the person by saying, 'I forgive you,' while the feelings of hatred are still present in the heart? I have tried forgiving a person who backbit about me; I said, "I forgive him," but not in his presence. I even backbit about him, so if I forgive him.. More
