As long as people know that it refers to Allah, this is permissible though it is best to use Allah’s names rather than lord.

I want to ask you a question. In the 10th verse of sura az zumar Allah says : “Say, o My servants who believe…….” , my question is, why Allah tells Muhammad (s) to address us as servant? We are servant only of the Almighty Allah. Please sir, answer me.

I have a question regarding the last ten days of Ramadan. I have heard that on Laylatul Qadr, if you give one pound of charity it acts like you have given charity for 85 years, if you read Surah Ikhlas 3 times it is as though you have read Quran for 85 years. Therefore you should read surah Ikhlas and should give 1 pound of charity everyday on the last 10 days is this true?

A brother said regarding this Hadeeth: “Allah is not hidden from you; He is not one-eyed,” and pointed with his hand towards his eye, adding, “While Al-Masih Ad- Dajjal is blind in the right eye..” How does this show Allah has 2 eyes as Ibn taymeeyah, Ibn Uthaymeen and others have said? All it shows is that Allah is not blind and has eyes.

Commentary on Hadeeth

When he said Allah is not one-eyed, this meant that Allah has two eyes.

Is it permisible to hide the reality but without lying. For example: my mother asks me what are you doing. And I say here I’m studying. In reality I’m memorising the quran (study islam) but she thinks I’m studying secular studies.Or she asks me where are you going. So I say to univeraity. But in reality Im going to meet a friend but she will think that I go to study.

There’s this confusion regarding destiny. At times we work hard for something but we don’t get it, people say it wasn’t written for us in our destiny. Then we have people asking us to work hard to achieve something. If it’s meant for us it’ll reach us no matter what, then why should someone work for it??

Divine Will and Decree

How would you know what is written for you? You have to work hard and whatever is written will happen. If you believe you don’t have to work as it will get to you anyway, then throw yourself from the highest building! If it is written that you will land on your feet, you will!
