  • Suppressing anger to please person instead of Allah

    Assalaamu alaykum. We know that anger is bad and that one who avoids being angry for Allaah's sake will be rewarded. My question is the following: suppose that a man gets angry at his driver and intends to rebuke him. Then his wife requests him to avoid being angry for her sake, and he calms down to make her happy, not for Allaah's sake. Is this act.. More

    My question is regarding the intentions for worship and related rewards. I have always tried to do all necessary acts of worship and more, such as praying, fasting, and zakah, as my obligations towards Allaah, without thinking of the associated rewards or even making an intention of getting the reward because I was always so concerned with doing the..

  • Posting pictures of one's library of Islamic books online

    Assalaamu alaykum. One of the common things that I see online is that many brothers and sisters post a photo of their book shelves or collection of Islamic books on social media. Is that considered showing off, given that I do not see any benefit in doing so? Moreover, it is showing how much of an Islamic-knowledge seeker I am, whereas we should not.. More

  • Fear of dying while disobeying Allah

    Assalaamu alaykum. I read on your site that if a person's last deed before passing from this world is good, then he may be in paradise though he is someone of the fire, and that if his last act is bad, he would be a person in the fire who is from paradise. This worries me because I sometimes do some things that are probably impermissible, such as my.. More

  • Repentant actress bears no sin for her works that people watch

    If a non-Muslim actress converts to Islam, will she still earn sins if people watch her act in her movies in which she was not wearing a hijab?

  • Listening to Nasheed with music to learn it / Growing the beard to follow the fashion

    Assalaamu alaykum. I have two questions: A) We know that singing 'good' songs without instruments is unanimously allowed. So if there is a 'good' song that contains music, can I listen to it in order to learn the song so that I can later sing it without the music? B) If one grows his beard merely to follow the fashion or in order to follow the.. More

  • Thinks that disobeying her mother made her ill

    Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu, Shaykh. On my last visit to Makkah, I got very sick. I feel that it was due to the cold water that I drank.
