Asalam O Alikum By grace of Allah i have a good business of my own. Many years ago one good friend of my who now lives in a different city wanted to start a construction business but he didn’t had enough money to do business. I had agreement with him that i will become sleeping partner in his business and invest money in his business. He gives me profit return according to our agreed terms. He also does work of good quality of customers but recently i came to know from some people that he takes construction contracts by giving commission. But there is no confirmation of this since we both are in different cities and i never interfered in business since I’m already busy in my own work. Currently I’m confused is the profit which im getting Halal or not? And also have no idea how to talk about this with him because this can also break our friendship.

Assalam o Alaikum, I already know that cutting the eyebrows in Islam is Haram but what about the Unibrows(The Hair Between Eyebrows). They look very bad on my face and I have trimmed my Unibrows 2 times. But I am still not clear that It is Halal to Cut the Hair between Eyebrows because it doesn't look good.

Like for instance, if I was to choose a name like Aqeel Arif El... would that be accepted in Islam, Or should I keep looking.

Is there any text with respect to: Could it be the case that on the Day of Judgement, a person is in front of Allah, and when finished, he thinks that Allah forgave him, yet he falls down to Hell when passing the siraat bridge. Or, is it the case that nobody will know whether he is forgiven or not, until actually passes that bridge?

Here it says that preservation of Nasab نسب (lineage) is one of the major goals, Maqasid al-Shariah مقاصد الشريعة of Islamic law and that falsification of lineage can be not only a major sin but kufra: > Lineage (Nasab) is a foundational element of human identity and a > crucial aspect of Islamic teachings, deeply intertwined with family > structures, inheritance rights, and societal order. Islam places > immense emphasis on preserving lineage, considering it one of the five > fundamental objectives of Islamic law (Maqasid al-Shariah). The Holy > Quran and Hadith explicitly prohibit altering, concealing, or falsely > attributing lineage, classifying such acts as major sins (kabira) and, > in some cases, as acts of disbelief (kufr) when committed > intentionally. This study explores the legal, moral, and social > dimensions of lineage in Islam, analyzing the severe consequences for > those who falsify their ancestry. > > Islamic law establishes clear guidelines regarding lineage to ensure > justice in inheritance, prevent confusion in kinship, and maintain the > sanctity of marriage prohibitions (mahram relationships). The Quranic > command "Call them by (the names of) their fathers; that is more just > in the sight of Allah" (Surah Al-Ahzab 33:5) serves as a divine > directive to uphold the integrity of lineage.

Assalamu alaikum brother, I'm a huge movie addict. I know watching movies is a sin. But I was wondering if downloading the pirated movie, will that be considered as stealing??? (Humble request -Please try to answer with valid Hadith, not just a blind shot)

Is it permissible for a man to marry the mother of a girl he used to have a relationship with? The relationship was in the past and involved physical touching but no penetration. I understand from [4:23](http://quran.com/4/23) that marriage to the wife's mother is permanently prohibited from the time a man enters into a marriage contract with a woman, whether he and his wife have engaged in sexual intercourse or not. The act of marriage itself gives the mother-in-law the same status as the mother. However in this case, the man never married the girl. Is her mother haram for him to marry?

The topic of death penalty for apostasy (defection form one's religion) in Islam seems to be a controversial one since many people have both positive and negative answers regarding the issue. Now, since Quran is the only source of guidance for all Muslims regardless of opinions or sects etc I wanted to know how the Quran tackles this issue if it tackles it at all. I know about the Sahih Hadith in which the Prophet of Islam clearly prescribes death for apostasy but it seems Muslims have mixed responses to it, one of them being it a "dhaeef" or weak Hadith. > **Bukhari[52:260]** "...The Prophet said, 'If somebody **(a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.**' " The only verse from the Quran I've been able to find (allegedly) regarding apostasy is the following: > **Quran[4:89]** "They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, > and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends > of them, until they emigrate in the way of God; then, **if they turn > their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them**; take not > to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper." I haven't studied the Tafseer of this verse so please forgive my nuisance. So does anyone know whether the Quran really does prescribe the death penalty like the above mentioned Hadith? If there is then the other part of my question is the following: If I was brought up as Muslim, meaning that since my childhood being a Muslim wasn't really my choice and it can be argued that it was my parents who "forced" me to be Muslim, wouldn't it be wrong to forbid me from exercising my freedom of consciousness and freedom of thoughts? The classic argument from Muslims supporting the penalty is of "treason". It is true that being a traitor to my country can bear severe consequences, possibly death or life sentence. But this is a weak argument and it can be argued that religion and country are two different things. I can never change the fact that I was born in a certain country but I **can** change my beliefs which I **wasn't born with** at all. Quran says that there is no compulsion regarding the practice of religion. > **Quran[2:256]** "There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the > religion." So bottomline, what does the Quran really have to say about this issue? References of Ahadith are not welcome because no matter how authentic, they are still hearsay sayings of the prophet and prone to exaggerations or manipulations. Quran is the only source of authentic Islamic teachings. Thank you.. **Edit:** Another argument from Muslims is that everyone in the world is born a Muslim but their parents mislead them towards other religions. Thus death penalty for apostasy is justified. This argument is a foolish one, has absolutely no logical or natural basis and impossible to be true.
