  Ruling on the Wife of One Who Reviles Religion In Islam, reviling Allah, His Messenger ﷺ, the Qur’an, or the religion of Islam is an extremely serious matter. It is not something that should be treated as ordinary insulting speech. At the same time, rulings concerning a person’s faith, marriage, and family life must be handled with knowledge, caution, and proper scholarly authority. The Seriousness of Reviling Religion Islam commands believers to speak about Allah and matters of religion with the utmost respect. Allah says: “And if you ask them, they will surely say, ‘We were only conversing and playing.’ Say, ‘Was it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?’” — Qur’an 9:65 The verse demonstrates the gravity of mocking Allah, His revelations, or His Messenger ﷺ. A Muslim must therefore avoid every form of contempt, ridicule, or deliberate insult directed toward Islam and its sacred matters. What If a Husband Reviles the Religion? If a Muslim man de...

  Can Ahaad Hadiths Be Accepted with Regard to                                ‘Aqeedah? Introduction One of the important discussions in the sciences of Islamic belief (‘aqeedah) is whether ahaad hadiths can be used as evidence in matters of faith. This question has been discussed extensively by scholars of hadith, ‘aqeedah, and usool al-fiqh. The answer requires understanding what an ahaad hadith means, what level of certainty it provides, and how the early scholars of Islam dealt with authentic reports from the Prophet ﷺ. What Is an Ahaad Hadith? Hadiths are commonly divided according to the number and manner of their chains of transmission. A mutawaatir report is transmitted through numerous independent chains in such a way that agreement upon a fabrication would ordinarily be inconceivable. An ahaad report, broadly speaking, is a report that does not reach the level of mutawaatir. This does not ...

             What Is the Meaning of Tawhid? Introduction Tawhid is the foundation of Islam and the central message of all the Prophets. The word Tawhid comes from the Arabic root وَحَّدَ (wahhada) , meaning to affirm something as one and unique. In Islam, Tawhid means believing that Allah alone is worthy of worship , affirming His perfect names and attributes, and recognising His absolute uniqueness and sovereignty. The message of Tawhid is simple yet profound: There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah. This is expressed in the testimony of faith: لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ Lā ilāha illā Allah — There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah. Tawhid is not merely a statement that Allah exists. Rather, it shapes a Muslim's beliefs, worship, character, actions, and relationship with the Creator. The Three Dimensions of Tawhid Scholars commonly explain Tawhid through three interconnected aspects: 1. Tawhid al-Rububiyyah — Oneness of Allah's Lo...

            Atheism Is a Greater Sin Than Shirk Introduction Islam teaches that the greatest purpose of human existence is to worship Allah alone and recognise Him as the Creator, Sustainer, and Lord of all creation. The Qur’an repeatedly calls people to affirm the oneness of Allah and warns against rejecting Him or associating partners with Him. Atheism—the denial of the existence of Allah—represents a fundamental rejection of the very foundation upon which faith is built. Shirk, on the other hand, means associating partners with Allah in His Lordship, worship, or names and attributes. Both are forms of disbelief when they involve conscious rejection of what Islam establishes. However, it is important to understand the terminology carefully rather than making broad statements without qualification. The Greatest Sin: Shirk The Qur’an explicitly describes shirk as an enormous wrongdoing. Allah says: “Indeed, shirk is truly a great ظلم (wrongdoing).” — Qur’an...

  Definition of the Islamic Character and Its Main Features, and a Warning Against Spoiling or Distorting It Introduction Islam is not merely a set of beliefs and rituals; it is a complete way of life that shapes a person's faith, worship, character, relationships, and conduct. One of the most important aspects of Islam is developing an Islamic character (akhlaq) —a character guided by the Qur’an and the Sunnah and reflected in a Muslim’s words, actions, intentions, and dealings with others. The Islamic character is not based on culture, nationality, personality, or social trends. Rather, it is rooted in obedience to Allah, sincerity, justice, mercy, modesty, patience, honesty, and good conduct. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was the finest example of this character, and Allah praised him, saying: “And indeed, you are of a great moral character.” — Qur’an 68:4 Therefore, Muslims should strive to understand the true Islamic character, develop it in their lives, and protect it from a...

Is There Scholarly Consensus on All Ten Things That Nullify Islam Mentioned by Imam Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhaab? Imam Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhaab رحمه الله is well known for his concise treatise Nawāqid al-Islām (The Nullifiers of Islam), in which he mentioned ten matters that can nullify a person's Islam. His purpose was to warn Muslims about beliefs, statements, and actions that contradict the foundations of Islam and to encourage them to understand and protect their faith. A frequently asked question, however, is: Did Muslim scholars unanimously agree on all ten matters exactly as they are presented in this treatise? The answer requires some clarification. According to a detailed scholarly discussion of the ten nullifiers, there is broad scholarly agreement regarding the underlying principles of most of them, but there is not an unqualified consensus concerning every detail of all ten categories. The clearest area of disagreement concerns the seventh nullifier: sihr (mag...
