I was born Muslim but as I grew up I started having doubts . I believe in shahada but I doubt the authenticity of the Quran . I am a good performer and go for salat when I visit my family but I do not believe in doing it otherwise .I do not fast in Ramadan I do not know if I will ever want to do Haj. I have recently met a Muslim woman who I love a lot and she is also in love with me . I shared my doubts regarding my faith and now she is concerned that our marriage may not be halal . I do not want to lie to her and want to know if our marriage will be a sin for her or a halal marriage.

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. Prophetic traditions > reinforce this by warning that falsely claiming another lineage > invites divine curses, social rejection, and severe punishments, > including exclusion from Paradise. Scholars from various Islamic > schools of thought have consistently affirmed that altering lineage > disrupts familial responsibilities, weakens social bonds, and leads to > moral and legal complications. > > Furthermore, this paper highlights the negative societal impacts of > lineage falsification, such as identity crises, psychological > distress, disputes over inheritance, and the risk of incestuous > relationships due to a lack of clarity in family ties. The study also > examines historical and contemporary interpretations of > lineage-related rulings, emphasizing the necessity of honesty in > lineage attribution to preserve familial harmony and societal trust. > > This research synthesizes Islamic jurisprudence, Quranic exegesis, and > Hadith analysis to conclude that safeguarding lineage is a religious > obligation and a critical measure for maintaining social justice, > legal clarity, and ethical order.

How can falsifying lineage be kufr?

man made laws are below Sharia. But what if a person likes or is pleased with man made traffic laws like the ones in the west . Would that be kufr?

Assalam o Alaikum, I have a case which I don’t know whom to ask my husband cursed Allah in anger as we are going through financial difficulties, I asked him to seek forgiveness as saying that is kufr, he said those words loud in front of me, do you think it would have any impact of our Nikkah as I haven’t heard him saying for any forgiveness from Allah. And if he does want to seek forgiveness from Allah what would be the status of our nikah. Please enlighten me. Thank you

Is it correct to study machine learning? If a match is played by the teams and based on data in my subject, it shows 58% team A will win, is this haram? >machine learning give output of unseen data according to subject >the subject contains statements "will wiN"

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 .

What should we do if we need help of beings other than Allah in necessary situations?

I know that every Muslim should wear a beard, but what can I do if I don't like it? Have I become a kafir? Because I have heard that dislike for at least one of the provisions of Islam is enough to fall into kufr. I don't dislike the beard, I'm just shall we say "not a fan".

For example now a days in some TV programs, some pornography or some other videos on YouTube contain kufr and shirk and even in some books and in some websites there is some kufr or shirk in it. So is it kufr or shirk if someone reads or watches something that contains kufr and shirk in it ?

As Salam Alaykum brothers I wanted to know if playing games that contain knowledge of magic like The Witcher 3, or consulting an oracle in Assassins Creed Odyssey, does this entail shirk or kufr? Even if my intention is not to do these sins and i dont believe even a little bit in these acts, just doing it to advance in the game For example, im pretty sure that killing in a game is not considered killing in real world, but knowledge of magic and consulting an oracle, i think there is more depth on the subject

Is animal communication (AC)/"animal whisperers" considered haram? AC is the use of intuition to communicate with animals, and animal whisperers (AW) are people who act as a "middle-man" by relaying messages, feelings, and insights between humans and their animal companions, by addressing a wide range of concerns, such as behavioural issues, health problems, or simply deepening the bond between pet and owner. I engaged one recently after a suggestion from a friend when my pet cat had a detrimental change in behaviour. This was when visits to the vet and other medical resources couldn't find anything wrong with it. In the remote session with the AW, it was "conveyed" to the communicator "by my cat" that there was a health issue that had been bothering it that the vet had missed. From this, we went to a different vet for a fourth opinion, and true enough this vet managed to pick the issue up and just in time. Of course, I was initially sceptical of the AW and thought it was through educated guess that she got it. I engaged her another time for another pet of ours to prove my sceptism right. However, during this remote session, she described some things through the POV of our pet. The descriptions she gave was definitely not a guess as these were things or incidents that only those within our household would know or see. The AC isn't Muslim and is non-denominal. She doesn't use chants or prayers during these sessions to "communicate". She simply gets into a state where she is "calm and of empty mind", and then gets her answers and questions mostly through thought and intuition. These are the same methods mentioned when I read up about AC and in a class I attended when I wanted to find out more. (All by different people.) I was afraid that this was shirk or kufr, so I asked an asatizah about it. She didn't explain much except that if this was done for the welfare of our pet, and its well-being, then it's okay. I tried to look up some more on this, but there's not much out there on AC in Islam. The little that I got was that communication with animals isn't an ability that any mere human has. Only the gifted, like Prophet Sulaiman (SAW) was blessed with this.

I’m just wondering about this ruling on asking questions about Islam. Some say it’s discouraged and some say it’s haram but my question is would it be considered kufr if you ask too many questions about Islam. So in my case I asked “it doesn’t make sense, why does Prophet Muhammad love us more than our mother loves us if he didn’t meet us in the first place?” Edit: is my question in quotations considered doubt

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?

I mean listening to Hindu mantras with the intention that it will have some effect on someone or yourself. As far as I know black magic is a part of hindu religion, so I would like to know if listening to such thing with the intention that it might effect us in some way (positive or negative). If it is indeed Kufr or Shirk, then how does a person repent from it?

Assalamualaikum, What I'm about to say, I know it isn't nice to hear or anything. I am a born "Muslim". I never practiced Islam until before 2023 when I was 12-13. All was well, I felt connected to my lord and genuinely asked forgiveness for my sins. I started to slowly put on the hijab and you know, I just felt connected with my religion. Then in 2024, we moved to another city and I had stopped praying. I started commiting those sins again for that whole year. I would pray only some months when I really felt that Iman boost. Now in 2025, I promised myself to get back to my Deen. I started praying again from February and even made some goals I wanted to achieve this Ramadan. During this, I would get a lot of doubts about Islam and you know my heart felt heavy at some rules, but I concluded it's the words of Allah and I shouldn't question it. Now in Ramadan, these doubts only increased and before long, I started having negative thoughts about Allah. I questioned my faith so much and just 3-4 days ago, I have started to become arrogant to Allah (Astagfirullah) and my heart feels heavy whenever someone praises him. I know this is INCREDIBLY wrong, but this feeling isn't going away. Since when did I feel like this about Allah? NOW, I don't like that Allah calls us his servants (ASTAGFIRULLAH). I tell myself I have to be obedient and I do still pray daily so I can be an obedient servant of Allah. But idk man, my heart has now become empty and I am (ASTAGFIRULLAH) doubting Allah's existence even though there are signs Infront of me. I keep thinking of that verse, "Indeed, Allah guides whom he wills and he sends astray whom he wills." I believe I have become astray. WAY TOO FAR FROM MY RELIGION. I am aware this arrogance takes me out of the fold of Islam and so I repeat the shahada and ask Allah to take away this disgusting arrogance. I try to remember my humble origins but nothing is of help. Today, I felt like I couldn't feel Allah's presence in that way, you know. I cannot focus on anything and my heart feels empty, lost and unaffected in some way. Please, Please tell me I can still be redeemed. I don't want Allah to abandon me and nor do I want this disgusting arrogance.

Is wearing clothes **with names** a Sin? I have heard that clothing with names is a glorification of non-believers. Does it mean that wearing clothes where there are names such as: jordan, d&g and others is Sin? **What if I can't buy another one yet?**

If a person calls his brother a kafir for example when they are fighting and said it out of anger(or really meant it) or without thinking but regretted it immediately afterwards, does that person become a kafir, since it is not true and there is no evidence that the brother is a kafir?

My parents don’t really like Islam that much and I’ve tried to tell them that I am Muslim, but they simply don’t understand and when I give them reasons why I am a Muslim. They shrug it off and it seems like they really want me out of Islam and so out of the fear That both they won’t accept me and that they will spread wiswas into my head, causing kufr, I lie to them. is this kufr please respond quickly. If I did commit kufr Do I need to retake my shahada?

What is the ruling on the one who finds entertainment in TV shows or comic books that depict humans with abnormal abilities like resurrecting the dead? For example, one sees this action and says to themselves "this is pretty cool, I wish Allah (swt) permitted me with such an ability that befits me as a human" and they say this in a fictional or fantastical way? Would such type of entertainment or fantasy be considered an act of kufr al akbar, let alone sinful? How would this apply to other fantasies as well like wishing to fly or so and so. Likewise, I understand such type of thinking may not be useful or time well spent, but it greatly troubles me that it could be considered something to be an act of kufr al akbar.

As per Qur'an or Sunnah, once the good deeds are erased, can they ever be brought back? Or are they lost forever? I know it is entirely Allah(SWT)'s will, to return them or not. But, I want to know if any evidence exists that a certain deed or action can return the lost good deeds.
