Alhamdulilah, you are a Muslim

Q: I converted several months ago. I read books on Islam and all I needed to know about islam from online. And then later I had realized that Islam was for me so then later went back online and found the transliteration of the shahadah with English said it by myself at home with Allah and the two recording angels as witnesses. I also said it with the Imaam on TV as the people were converting that same night.

Now Br Imaam I come to the musjid where i live and the sisters were having their halaqah and they tell me I did it all wrong. So now you tell me, am I a nonMuslim? Or Muslim? So all I prayers was wasted? Fast wasted? You tell me what i do?

thoughts

Q: In Islam are bad thoughts a sin? (query)

A: No.

If one persists upon evil thoughts, then this could lead to sins.

Our time should be spent positively, not with matters and thoughts that do not concern us (Derived from hadith).

Think positive, be positive. Shaytan prefers the opposite.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.

just could not wait

Q:My wife was in iddaat (the waiting period after divorce) when we got married. She only told me this after I married her. We want to know if our nikah is valid? Our marriage is legal and nikah. We are married 17 months. (ioq)

Its your parents for crying out loud

Q: we are two brothers and 5 sisters. I am a Alhamdulillah a successful surgeon. My brother is an auto mechanic. My sisters Alhamdulillah are married to men that are medical professionals. My brothers in law as are all wealthy.

I being the eldest had a meeting with our family and feel that to be fair we must all give our father and mother 300 dollars a month. My one sister said she would be give what she prefers to give on her own since sharia does not make it necessary for her to give. I later found out that she would give my mom 500 a month. So she is giving. But is she correct.

insurance payout

Q: My father died. We got a payout from the insurance company. My sister declines its acceptance saying its harem. If this is true, what do we do with her portion? (in office question.)

inmate: life, medical complications, death and burial

SA Imam Muhammed,

InshaAllah everything is going well with you. I have some questions from an inmate, here is the section from his mail:

‘My health is not the greatest and I have been asked by the Univ. of Utah that in case I happen to die on the operating table for any reason; would I want them to intervene and have them perform all the necessary procedures to bring me back to life, and once I am back would I want to be put on life support if things did not go as planned by their surgeons.

Question: A- What do I do? I have told them the last time that I was there to let me die and that I did not want them to intervene but I was not sure as what I was supposed to tell them according to Sharia
