I went for a trip with my friends in India. We visited a historical temple over there. There was a long queue, and i was pushed inside. I reached the inner chamber and my friend told me to wave my hand over a lighted candle and touch my chest. This was their act of worship. All this happened in a split sec. and I didn’t even think. I just did it to show my respects. How should I perform tawbah?

You have wronged yourself greatly and this is an act of shirk! You must repent to Allah and show sincere and deep remorse. You must ask Allah for forgiveness and never do such a thing in the future. You must cut ties with such friends and only have Muslim friends.

if a non muslim in a street is swearing or having a cigarette is it my duty as a Muslim to tell him that swering is wrong or smoking is wrong?

Please tell me if I say anything incorrect. I’m in America. I have enmity, hate and disavowel for every non muslim.

This is something in the heart. We treat them well to show them the beauty of Islam without compromising Islam […]

During Diwali I and my Hindu friend were invited to someone’s home. My Hindu friend had purchased an idol of Ganesh as a gift. She had said that we will share the cost of the idol, out of fear that she would feel bad I did not say anything. Will it be permissible for me to give the money for the idol? IF not how can i refuse so that she does not feel bad?

I am shocked by your your question. You are afraid for her feelings but not afraid to commit an act of kufr! A Muslim must not participate in other’s festivals let alone buy them idols! You must not take that idol neither pay for it. Tell her straight that Muslims beleive in one God that […]
