God (Allah)

Allah The Exalted Has Created the Noor of the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS) with out any witness. They were the first creatures. Creating these most sacred servants of Allah (SWT) is the start of the creation of the heavens and earth and took place with out any witness.

‘Wassalam.

Faith in Allah (SWT) has many degrees. Feeding of hell makes people avoid sinful acts. Keening for Paradise makes people do more good to gain Paradise. Higher degrees of faith of most humble servants of Allah, make them not only higher than fearing hellfire and keening Paradise but loving and worshiping Allah as He is entitled to be worshiped. Real love for Allah in the heart of His most humble servants  makes them worship Him for His Greatness as He is The Only entitled to be worshiped.

‘The Quranic verses you mentioned are for usual believers who have a certain degree of faith and love for Allah. Such degree does not apply to the most humble servants of Allah (SWT) who have the higher degrees of faith and love for Allah (SWT).

Wassalam.

!- The Mercy of Allah is much greater than our imagination, so seek His Mercy and be hopeful that Allah will never let down any servant who sincerely seeks His Mercy.
2- Never think hopeless even after being away from Allah and keep in mind that the gates of the Mercy of Allah are always open.

3- Seek forgiveness and sincerely beg to Allah to Help you to be away from evil.

4-Start re doing your missed Prayers gradually as much as you can. Allah will Help you as far as you seek His Help.

5. Seek the intercession {Shafa’ah) of the Prophet and his Ahlul Bayt (AS). Their intercession has a great value in front of Allah (SWT).

We believe that Allah The Exalted does not have a physical shape and He is not limited to a place. Allah SWT said in Quran about Himself  ''LAYSA KA MITHLIHI SHAY'E'' Surah 42 Ayah 11, which means nothing at all is similar to Allah SWT. Allah SWT does not have any objective existence, but he is everywhere, and he mentioned that the most humble of his servants hear on His behalf, and they serve Him and implement His orders. '' Ears'' of Allah SWT are those most pious servants who hear on behalf of Allah. ''Eyes'' of Allah SWT are the most humble servants who Seefor the sake of Allah SWT. ''Hands'' of Allah SWT are those most humble servants who implement the orders of Allah SWT using their hands for the sake of Allah. So there is no Literal meaning in these words at all, but these words should be understood as part of understanding the Arabic language, which uses the words as can be understood as the the literal word.

Our religion is never based on people's opinions or culture but on clear orders from Allah which came in Quran as explained by the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his holy progeny0. Our scholars never state any act as forbidden or permitted or recommended or disliked or obligatory without very clear evidence from Quran, Sunnah, Aql or Ijma'a (consensus). Sexual relationships without marriage is no exception as Allah in Quran said about the pious believers '' And those who guard their chastity (i.e private parts, from illegal sexual acts).Except from their wives. Sura  70 Aya 29. Social and cultural factors differ in different countries and different times, while the Islamic rules are always unified as code of conduct for humans everywhere and every time.

Our existence  has been created by Allah, The Creator of all creatures. Creatures are never part of The Creator. We exist by His help and Mercy and can never live without His help and Mercy. That can never mean that we are part of Him. Allah Says in Quran : Nothing is like Allah ليس كمثله شيء.

Wassalam.

You have to always keep the respect of your parents but not obey any order which is against the orders of Allah (SWT). The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) said: No obedience to any creature in the disobedience of The Creator. If you are sure that the order given to you by your parents leads to sinful act, then you must refrain from committing sins.

Wassalam.

No. We must ask and beg to Allah to forgive our sins. Without being humble to seek and beg to Allah for forgiveness, our sins will not be forgiven. Not asking Allah for forgiveness, means that the sinner is still arrogant even if he decides not committing the sin again, but as he has already committed the sin, he must seek and beg to Allah (SWT) for forgiveness.

Wassalam.

Those who shut down the Masjid Al-Haraam during the Covid 19 crisis were not the real religious leadership of the Muslim world but just officers in a government and they are responsible about their acts. They never represent the Islamic jurisprudence.

'Wassalam.
