25 What is Sirah? (I.e. : Sirah tun Nabi (S.A.W))
Category (Allah (SWT) / Prophets of Allah)
27 According to many Scholars, especially from Saudi Arabia, they say that by applying the Ya bit on the name of the Prophet (S.A.W) is not acceptable, due to the reason that our Beloved Prophet (S.A.W) is not among us, at this moment in time He is in His grave in Medina. He (S.A.W) is not amongst us, unlike Allah (S.W.T). He is the all knowing and all seeing. So it is acceptable to say Ya Allah. Why then is the Ya added to the Prophet (S.A.W) name?

36 Is the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) Noor? Because Ahle Sunnah wal Jamaat believe HE (S.A.W) is and Ahle Hadith believe that HE (S.A.W) is not Noor and was a normal human being like us.

449 I would like to ask the Imam Saab that I read a book in which it stated that after our Holy Prophet (S.A.W) had the first revelation, then our Holy Prophet (S.A.W) didn't have another revelation for a while. Our Holy Prophet (S.A.W) felt depressed and thought Allah (S.W.T) had abandoned Him and out of despair wanted to jump off a cliff. Can you please confer the Sunnah version of this thank you.

458 Respect for Rasulullah [Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] dictates emulating his teachings. It would be disrespectful to do anything against the Sunnah of Rasulullah [Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam]. Kissing the thumbs upon hearing the name of Rasulullah [Sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] has no basis in Shariah. To carry out such an act as a Sunnah is bidah and sin. A Fatwa by Mufti Ebrahim Desai (Deobandi) Please give me a reply to this Fatwa, is this Fatwa correct?
Category (Allah (SWT) / Prophets of Allah)
459 I have read on a Deobandi website that in the grave Nabi (S.A.W) doesn't himself appear, but an image of Nabi (S.A.W) is presented, could you please confirm if this Fatwa by Mufti Ebrahim Desai is correct?

463 The first thing that was created by Allah (S.W.T) was the Noor of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W). The first thing that was created after that was the Pen. What was the first thing created on earth? I have been told it was the tree. Is there any truth in this thinking?

508 I heard from someone that once Hazrat Musa (A.S) was on His way to Toor and a man approached him and asked oh Musa (A.S) ask Allah (S.W.T) if the beauty of offspring is in my fate. Hazrat Musa (A.S) put the question before Allah (S.W.T) and Allah (S.W.T) replied NO. After some time Hazrat Musa (A.S) passed the same place and a young child was playing in the same house. On enquiry He (A.S) discovered that it was the child of the same man who questioned him a few years back. He (A.S) in his next recollection with Allah (S.W.T) asked “O master of the universe you told me that no offspring has been ordained in the Haq of that man. How come now he is benefiting from this pleasure? Allah (S.W.T) said to Hazrat Musa (A.S) go and get me some Human flesh, then I will answer your question. After asking people, who all replied in surprised mannerisms that how can a living person cut off a piece of his body and give it to Hazrat Musa (A.S). Searching everywhere the response He (A.S) received was that no, then someone told him to go and see a Fakir in a jungle. Hazrat Musa (A.S) ended up in a deserted forest where he met a Fakir. He (A.S) asked this Fakir, who replied which part of my body would you like me to cut off for you? The Fakir cut off a chunk of meat from his Thigh (the most precious part pf the body) and gave it to Hazrat Musa (A.S). On return with the meat chunk on mount Toor , Hazrat Musa (A.S) conveyed the whole events before Allah (S.W.T), and asked YA RAB (S.W.T) now tell me the answer to the question I asked you earlier. Allah (S.W.T) replied that the man who could cut his body part for my sake made dua for the offspring of the man who asked you the question. Such is his devotion I granted the man what had not been in his Haq. My question is that is the above event correct and if so then where can the evidence of this be found (with references please)?

617 I have been told that to do Zikr of Allah (S.W.T) whist saying Allah Ho out loud and directing the Ho towards the heart is a very good practice to do as it helps clean the black marks made on the heart by Sin.

706 A common question Atheist's ask is that as you believe that God can carry out anything He wishes, can He create a rock that God himself cannot lift due to it being too heavy. Also can He do bad things, e.g. tell lies. Some Muslims believe that these CAN be done by Allah (S.W.T), their reason being that as we the creation can tell lies, then of course God can, as he can do anything He wishes. However He will never perform bad things because this is a decision God has made to not do as this would otherwise not accord with the attributes of perfection. Apparently the Maturidi and Ash'ari Scholars have said that yes, it is contingently possible for Allah to act against His previous word. But, Allah is true to His word and we can say with surety that it won't happen. This is the meaning of the verses in the Qur'an that state: "If it were not for a word already issued by Allah," [al-Qur'an 10:19]" How do we respond to these claims?

There is Like A Gold Coin Color Shape Drawing Design (To the nearest meaning), where we see the name of Allah on top, something underneath, and Our Prophet's Name (S.A.W) on bottom (I hope you understand), and what does this mean?

1085 Please can you help me. In my heart I am Muslim with strong Islamic beliefs, but in my mind I am constantly looking into science and creating doubt about Allah, I am fighting a battle between my mind and my heart. In my mind I think of death and that life ends there. I read and watch science documentaries showing no proof of Allah. Please can you help me ease my mind as I am drifting away from Islam even though I know it is the right religion in my heart, but I can’t seem to get my mind to accept that there is Allah and that there is life after death? What can I do to convince myself of this? Thank you
