I hope this question can be answered by the Sheikh himself. I have the intention to repent from my old sins and have decided that I want to continue memorizing the Qur’an and getting closer to Allah. Can you give me some steps in worship and character that I can do to build myself up as a religious person after I repent? I don’t know where to start.

There was a flood in Chennai, a state in India, a few days ago. And people were in trouble. Many organizations started relief work. They helped villagers with food, shelter and many things. They rescued people from flooded areas. After the flood, two Muslim organizations cleaned the whole city; homes, masjids, etc. And they added a temple and an idol within that area. Is this allowed?

I am a Muslim male. I respect my mother so much but a few days back she told me that she had talked to her brother about getting his daughter married to me. When I said I don’t want to marry her, everyone stopped talking to me and started cursing me, saying that I will never get success. In this situation, what should I do? I really don’t want to marry her. How do I explain this to my mother?

They are not allowed to force you. Be kind with them and tell them the results of such a marriage. The wife will not be happy and neither will you and this would cause problems in the family.

FROM TIME TO TIME, MY DAD COMS TO MY CITY. HE IS A NON- MUSLIM. SOMETIMES I FEAR THAT THERE IS A JINN WITH HIM AND MY FAMILY AND I DON’T FEEL COMFORTABLE WHILE HE IS HERE BECAUSE WE FEEL THAT HE IS ACCOMPANIED BY EVIL. IS IT ALLOWED TO REFUSE HIM AS HE DOES HAVE OTHER PLACES WHERE HE COULD STAY? ALSO, WE DONT FEEL HE IS CLEAN AND I CLEAN/SANITISE THE TOILET BEHIND HIM EVERY TIME HE USES IT JUST SO MY FAMILY CAN BE SAFE.

This is wrong. If he felt that from you, he will never accept any dawah from your side. You have to be kind and loving with him. Nothing would harm you without Allah’s will. Keep your morning and evening supplications and be confident. We know how the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam dealt with […]
