In footnotes of the translation of book "Bad al amali" it's mentioned that if a believer commits grevious sin he isn't a disbeliever. > We, the Ahl al-Sunnah say that regardless of the enormity of a person’s sin, he remains a believer; and Allāh may punish him or forgive him. Additionally the ***SINCERE*** muslims among bani israil who worshipped calf weren't labelled mushrikun in quran. Another relevant incident from sunni corpus is about a man who asked his sons to burn him and disperse his ashes in the sea so that Allah cannot catch him . Isn't this major kufr to deny the ressurection ability of Allah? I am not sure the incident of prophet Adam eating from the tree can fit the above category. Therefore the question are sincere muslims not labelled kaafir/mushrik if they commit major shirk/major kufr. I am not taking into consideration the concept of ***Establishment of proof*** since I am asking this question for sincere muslims only. Sincere muslims promptly accept the mistake once told .

Is it considered kufr if I do not pray out of laziness, but I make dua every now and then? Is it kufr or just a major sin?

Assalamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu, I hope all of you are having a blessed Ramadan Ameen I need advice on a topic that has been on my mind for a very long time. I think I may be on the spectrum and this has been very hard on me, I keep thinking of it over and over again and have all the symptoms which match with people of this disorder. I am very depressed and don't know what to do. My Imaan is lower than ever, infact ever since Ramadan began, it went down to the point where I struggle to pray the five Salah now. I feel like I can't open up to anyone and think that I am doomed because Allah has removed Salah from me or something. Please note that I still go to school and external factors are also affecting my Imaan. For example, my kafir teachers do not allow me to wear the abaya and this grieves me a lot, especially since I go to a mixed school (classrooms are separated though) even though ma sha Allah I score great marks in tests and etc, there is an emptiness inside me. Teachers like me but my peers don't because I am rude to them even though I don't want to be. At this point it feels like I have no softness left in my heart because I fail to sympathize with others and struggle to speak about my feelings, I keep saying stuff I don't mean too. The constant mood swings are getting to me. Please bi idhnillah provide me with support on what i should do. I also have very bad anxiety which makes it close to impossible to be in public. In summary, I want to know if i will be held accountable for my actions if I actually end up having autism because I have no evil intentions whatsoever. My imaan is lower than ever and I don't know who to speak to it, I barely have friends and those that I do have I fear they will judge me for my condition, I know I may misdiagnose myself but I had a feeling that I have ASD and my parents hid it from me, that's why they act differently with me than my siblings :( Jazakumullahu khairan and may Allah accept our deeds this Ramadan.. Ameen

What happens before a muslim graduates from the 1st degree of Islam إِسْلَام to the 2nd degree of Islam, Imaan إِيمَان?

I hope if someone can prove Islam to me (and to anyone who reads this) in a way that is based on facts, way that applies to human logic and can't be denied. It is well-known that most religious people are having a happy life, and I wish to have one too, but which religion is the most logical? or is Islam the absolute truth?

So I was just surfing the web. I was typing the number keys in my keyboard. Then suddenly a question appeared in mind. "Can Allah swt change the laws of maths and how it works?" I found an agnostic dude giving the answer below: "You're question implies you are thinking in terms of an anthropomorphic god. If you buy into this version of god then you will quickly find yourself asking questions that will puzzle you. 'If god is so powerful he could make a huge rock that he couldn't lift, but since he is god he should be able to lift it.' The fact that these types of questions arise is not necessarily due to there being no god, but that you are thinking of god in the wrong way. If you were to think of god as infinite and pervading everything then god cannot change anything because that which includes all cannot change. There is nothing to change into since that would mean that he is currently not something that he could change into. This leads to the concept of non-duality and the idea that the underlying reality has no separation within it. You can't call it a 'oneness' because one implies two. It is neither. Consequently, the idea of mathematics or logic becomes irrelevant at the deepest level of reality. The universe simply is now. You are like a wave in the ocean experiencing itself as separate from the ocean. The wave asks, ‘When and where will I find the ocean? Who can give the ocean to me?’ But the wave was always the ocean, from the very beginning, even in its seeking! It’s the ocean looking for itself. Even within the ocean’s failure to find itself it is still the ocean; every wave is one hundred per cent water. As all the authentic spiritual teachers have been telling us for hundreds and thousands of years, you already are that which you seek. 'The dude in the sky' concept of god is an easy idea to believe in and it is an easy idea to refute." Idk if my imaan is weak or not but I'm getting doubts. I know this isn't the right place to ask these questions but I'm getting thoughts like what's the point of life or what's point of living. PLEASE someone help me. What do our Islamic scholars say regarding his points? Jazakallahu Khair.

Asalamu-alaikum, I feel embarrassed and guilty for asking this question but Allah Almighty knows what is in my heart.. I started praying very recently, I'm 23 years old. I got inspired by my father who was making big mistakes in his life and Alhamdulillah he is now a man of God and started praying more, which inspired me to do the same. I am not perfect with my prayers, but I do try. Last night was the first time in my life to offer Qiyam Al-Layl, and I also fasted today since it's Thursday. After maghrib, I got into a huge fight with my mother and I went crazy almost as if shaytaan entered my body. I was angry, full of hate, pain, and could not control my actions. It is the first time I have ever done such a thing. To be fair, my mother has been causing me much pain over the years. It is not her intention to do so, but I pray Allah gives her guidance. It is fair to say it has been anger built up over the years. However, today has severely damaged our relationship. Why is it when I strive to be a better Muslim, it's harder for me to continue? I cannot pray Isha because I am afraid. Astaghfurallah. Every time I pray, I get a very bad outcome almost immediately. Please brothers and sisters, offer me guidance. I don't want to lose faith. God bless you all

The orthodox view from what I understand it, is that all muslims will ultimately enter heaven, even if it requires a period of chastisement. Were there any major scholars who disagreed with this, who believed some muslims would be in hellfire for an eternity?

I know this sounds wrong. Currently, I feel heavily discouraged in life. I’ve been on my deen; I’ve been doing my best to stay away from sin. I had conversations with Allah, and I believe he has shown me signs in answering a dua of mine. Yesterday I believe I got a sign that a dua I’ve been making for a long time will not be answered. This has happened before, and I accepted it. However, this time I believe Allah gave me signs that he would answer this one, so when I got this answer that it will not happen, I felt really upset and felt like, What’s the point? I know Allah knows best and wants the best for me, but this is not the first time this has happened, and I’m trying to be more grateful and try to become better, but this made me very upset, and I don’t know what to do.

My father was sexually abusive for 7 years and I didn’t even understand as he started when I was ten. I cut him off two years ago and my life has gone really horrible. These tests are not bringing me closer to Allah they are making me loose faith and think about suicide a lot. After brainstorming it’s the only wrong thing I think I could have done to make this test drive me away from Allah. I don’t smoke or drink, I avoid lieing as much as I can and try to be a good person but everything just keeps getting worse. Every thing I beg Allah for hardly ever materialize yet everyone around me seems to be getting those things with ease too.

So as per the researcher the doctor say that we need to have only three child through C section after that it is risky to have the baby so this is my third time I am having my baby and it could be C section so how should I prevent that I should have not have baby in future as it's my effect my health can I go for some options for not having baby will it be accepted in Islam.

If we [used undoubtable rationality to reach the undoubtable fact that God exists and much more existential facts](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalam) , then we indeed have to use it as well to reach the fact that free will exists, or else, it isn't reliable for finding truth. Why I doubt that free will exists: - Everything has a cause except for God, so, with enough knowledge, we can predetermine the future, which doesn't apply to free will, which states that our choices are indeterministic; thus, it is illogical - I never felt that I have free will, I always find myself either driven into a choice or can't choose at all, I really have many choices inhand, but have to be driven into a choice, these are the factors on which my choices depend: - Previous experiences and knowledge - Biological factors - Genetic factors Is free will really logical or not? if yes prove it to me, else, show me on what matters logic can't be applied and why specifically these matters.

lately there is a serious issue of haram meat being labeled as halal and it has been consumed by muslims unknowingly. I read somewhere that any food that is haram or its source is from haram source will render it to become part of the flesh of the person who ate and will weaken his iman. Is this correct? Pls advice preferably with hadiths to deny or support. Jazakillah

Think about it this way. If there really was a proof that Islam is the truth, then everyone in the world would have been muslims by now. Why are you a muslim? Do you have proof? If you think you have proof, it's likely that someone can refute your proof. I don't have proof of Islam. Rather, I read the Quran. It didn't have anything that convinced me that Islam is the truth. Rather, when I read the Quran, it just "felt" like the truth. So for me, it's just an inner feeling...but not proof. Am I eligible to be a muslim even though I have no proof? Or will Allah say "I will not accept you as a muslim until you find proof"? Even though I have no proof, if I keep following that "inner feeling", eventually Islam will start to feel like the truth to me. It will be a sort of "self-brainwash". It's how the mind works. If I keep telling myself that it's the truth, my heart will open up to it. But nevertheless, why are you a muslim? I'm pretty sure you don't have any actual proof. If you're smart, then you should know that no religion can be proven. And since Allah is the all-knowing, I'm sure He knows this as well. So I believe that Allah does not expect you to find proof. If you just read the basics of Islam and feel like it could be the truth, this should be enough to be a muslim. Proof is not always easy to find. Why would Allah make you go through such a burden?

In Qur'an , it is told ( I don't remember exact verses but I am sure that it exists.) stating about prophet(s) like Musa ( Moses ) and Suleiman ( Solomon) that they came with miracles to counter magic and guide humanity with the message of God. However, atleast in this progressing era, magic is (commonly) believed to be just a game of illusion and tricks. Many magicians and there tricks have been debunked. So , is a muslim necessarily obliged to believe that magic exists as something supernatural and it's not just visual and others type of tricking of gullible people ?

WARNING: Read this at your own risk of losing your beliefs. I don't believe in Islam (but hopefully I would). I thought I was the only one ever who doubts the truthfulness of rationality, perception and reports, but I recently [asked on Philosophy SE](https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/questions/92551/can-we-doubt-all-knowledge) , and I found people, who are reputable in philosophy, doubt all kinds of knowledge... The reasons for doubting that logic is true: - The existence of free will; because it indicates indeterminism, which is illogical - Why not? What makes it impossible that there is another way of thinking that leads to truth? How can Islamic scientests respond to such doubts? If someone doubts logic, Does that mean he can never become a true believer in Islam?

Why is Muhammad (SAW) the final prophet unlike what is believed by people who are still following other Abrahamic religions?

I'm a revert from christianity, and I have been just trying to test out other religions and Islam is the one that stuck out to me even when I went back to Christianity. I saw that Islam really affected me in a good way. But every time I try to fully embrace islam I lose motivation, and I don't know what I have to do. I have faith in Allah SWT but I ask for help from Him and nothing happens and over time this has led me to just overall give up. How do I stop losing my imaan when my duas are not answered?

How do we define faith? What is faith of one person in islam and in general?

I suffer from depression, anxiety and OCD. A scholar told me to believe in tawakkul of Allah. Can you explain what that is and how does it relate to my mental health please?
