Basic Tenets of Faith

My daughter is 4 year old and she saw a video on youtube of “Bismillah”. In the video there is this demon figure representing Shaytaan that flies around the little girl, and when she says Bismillah the shaytaan goes away. Since she saw that video, she is afraid of Shaytaan and does not stay in room alone, or go anywhere alone at all. Is it ok if I explain her that Allah resides in out heart and when we are remembering Allah always, and when Allah is in our heart, Shaytaan is far away. Is it ok to tell her Allah resides in our heart. Please let me know.

What they did is wrong, they must not do that. You have to explain her that we don’t know how shaitan looks and the video was wrong. Tell her that Allah always protect us and she must not be afraid. Do not tell her that Allah resides in our hearts as this is totally wrong! […]

I recently had a conversation with a Muslim who believes that Adam was not the first human being merely the first prophet. He bases this claim on the scientific discovery of human skulls dating back several years before the existence of Adam. Does this belief contradict our Aqeedah? And how can we refute it.

As Muslims, we pay no attention to such rubbish! We believe that all mankind came from the offspring or Prophet Adam, peace be upon him. Believing otherwise can be an act of apostasy!

Some people get to see Allah morning and evening. Is there anything we can do to be amongst these people?

No one can see Allah! It is blasphemous to believe that!

It is only recently that I have found out that it is very important to study Aqeedah. So can you please suggest some books, audio / video lectures, websites from where I can learn Aqeedah. I prefer it to be in english because that is the only language I understand properly.

Since more than fourteen hundred years Islam is same as described in Quran and Sunnah and shall remain like this till the end of time.

it was about music and similar matters which the quran doesn’t have an explicit comment, but we do have direct evidence from hadhith and commentary of the Salaf regarding certain verses also agreement of vast majority of scholars. This brother questions the reliability of sources other than Quran and calls to use logic and reasoning in order to know whether sometime is good or bad. and according to him this is a commandment of Allah. We don’t need to argue with him but he is generating some following that we are worried about. So just need some evidence from quran and hadhit that forbid following one’s own logic in such matters.

Such a person is following the footsteps of Satan who was the first one to use his logic when he refused prostrating to Adam, saying that he is better than him; he was created from fire while Adam was created from clay! Such a person is deviant and an innovator and can be in danger […]

Is there any evidence in the Quran or Sunnah explaining whether the sun orbited the earth or the earth orbited the sun?

“And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term (appointed). That is the Decree of the All‑Mighty, the All‑Knowing”[Ya-Seen 36:38] which Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):“And the sun runs on its fixed course”[Ya-Seen 36:38]“Each running (on a fixed course) for an appointed term”[al-Zumar 39:5]“each in an orbit floating”[al-Anbiya’ 21:33]
