Does the Indian National anthem contain any lines of shirk?

Salam, A while back I heard that the Prophet used to wrestle in the mosque with his friends when they would see each other but not like wwe or actual punching but more like grappling and throwing to the floor. ***My question is where can I find this Hadith if it exists?***

In the Qur'an it says that Shaitan disobeyed Allah and we should make sure we do not fall in the trap of Shaytan as Adam (AS) and Hawwa did. Why doesn't Allah make sure we do not do things which he doesn't want us to do since he has power over all things? I know this is a test and we are supposed to learn from Shaytan's mistake but at the same time I don't understand why Shaytan has been allowed to have so much power. The good people will be rewarded and the bad punished but why did Allah make bad people? Why didn't Allah just make good people?

My husband just found out he had a 1 year old child. The mother is non Muslim. He goes over there to see baby alone. I do not like mother’s dialogue with my husband. She is personal with him and way to intimate. She says ThIngs like it’s amazing how much she looks like us and our sleeping beauty. Yes it’s their child but there is no us or our to me in a co parenting plan. She let this child be fatherless for a year and now feels like she has some right to my husband. I haven’t met child yet and that hurts also. Please tell me if it’s haram that he is there alone? I am so lost and don’t know what rights I have. This all seems so wrong to me.

Does a jinn have the ability to kill a human being? And can they show us their real form if they want to?

I’ve been suffering since February but it’s never been as bad as it is now. I’m 99% sure I have OCD. I’ve been getting these weird feelings of shirk in my heart as well as frustrating thoughts in my head. I swear at myself to stop myself from saying/doing something stupid in my mind. I know that swearing is bad in Islam but I feel like it’s the only thing I can say to “snap me out of it“. I am extremely scared I will curse Allah at one point or go astray, I don’t want to lose Allah and sometimes I feel like I am not even a Muslim anymore. I do my daily surahs and duas but at the back of my mind a voice keeps saying “you’re a hypocrite why are you even doing this still?“. I don’t want to swear at Allah or have these feelings of shirk in my heart. I’m aware this is wrong. Sometimes I feel out of control and I’m slowly losing my memory. I can’t remember if I washed my feet or not. If I recited this specific surah or not. I can’t remember the most basic things any more when before I could. Some days I feel like giving up and Islam feels so overwhelming to me. I feel like Allah is mad at me and will never forgive me. I feel like I’m intentionally committing shirk or something internally but I don’t believe in anything besides Allah and His Messengers. These weird feelings/thoughts come to me at the most trivial of times. For example, I could be watching a Twitch stream of a game and relaxing and something relating to shirk or cursing Allah will attack me and I freak out and I don’t know how to respond. So much anxiety loads in. And when I wake up in the morning, I am constantly fighting this and I can’t even function properly or do basic human life things without killing myself. I don’t know if this is waswas or a medical condition but I have had normal waswas before and I handled it and it went away. But this is so mentally and internally spiritually frustrating making me feel like I’m doomed in Hell forever and that Allah will never forgive me. Or that, I’m a mushrik. I’m unworthy/don’t deserve anything. It’s so bad. I feel bad and like a complete psycho. I confided in 2 friends of mine and they both think I have religious OCD. When I want to say “Alhamdulillah“ for something to Allah. My eyes will fall on a photo of a human or an object and it would feel like I said “Alhamdulillah“ to that person/thing. I repeat Dhikr/Duas so many times until it “feels right“ because I feel it’s inadequate or something. I’m extremely scared that I will go astray. I don’t feel Muslim anymore. And I feel as if I’ll never find peace and that I’ve ruined my present life and my Akhira. I’m not sure if Allah forgives shirk but I’m not even sure what’s wrong with me. I cry so often and feel like absolutely worthless and like a piece of garbage just walking around with an empty soul. Back when I was normal, I used to practice Islam so calmly and nicely and it used to give me a sense of closeness to Allah and tranquility. Now I don’t feel that anymore. Islam has become so hard for me although I know it’s not meant to be. I ask myself “was my imaan fake from the beginning?“ or “was me feeling this connection/tranquility with Allah fake?“ or “Was it real?“. I don’t know how long I can go for. Some days are good and some days everything comes crumbling. I am also suffering from depression and anxiety. I observe everyone around me and everyone looks so happy and at peace with Islam. I think to myself “Why can’t I be like this too?“ and I fall into a pit of sadness. I am constantly fighting this ongoing battle of my Imaan, Shirk, swear words and uncertainty. I really need some advice.

Is it permissible for someone to have their father's first name as their surname in Islam, instead of their father's surname as their surname?

I've read a Fatwa of Shaykh Ibn Baaz where he says Allah has a Shadow. Here's the Fatwa: >Question: Regarding the narration of the seven in the shadow of Allah on the Day where there is no shadow save His Shadow, does this mean Allah Ta’ala has a shadow?” > >ibn Baz answered, “Yes, as is reported in this narration and in some transmissions, ‘in the shadow of His Throne’. However, in the Swahihayn, it is, ‘in His shadow’ for He has a shadow that is befitting His Glory, and we do not know its form, just like the rest of His Attributes.” > > Ref: Majmou Fatawa Vol 28 pg 402 Is it true that Allah has a Shadow? Is there any Salaf saying on this issue?

In online Muslim support groups, I often see Muslims talking about personal struggles and others saying they will pray for them. However, (I presume) these two people only know each other online, and this strikes me as improper: - It seems risky to pray for someone you don't really know. What you wouldn't have prayed for them if you had known more about the person or their situation? You could unwittingly be praying for something bad to happen. - It feels cheap to pray for someone known only online, perhaps known to you as UsernameX. It's as if making this prayer lowers the standard of your prayer, as if they're unsanitized and you would be willing to pray for whatever. **Question**: Is it improper to pray for someone you only know online? Since this is common, it's probably okay to do, in which case, I'd be interested in learning what's wrong with my thought process. And, since this question could be regarded as subjective, I ask that answers be backed up in some way (e.g., by quoting from Quran, Hadith, a fatwa), and not just "you should think X".

Due to problems in my marriage my husband at times was not providing for me or my kids or practising Islam. I decided to ask for divorce after many attempts to fix my marriage. I wrote on paper to him saying "I divorce you" three times. He signed it and I signed it. He didn't say it and he says at times he felt pressured and didn't want to give it me. There were no witnesses at the time of signing the letter. It was hand written not, an official one. That was nearly 6 years ago. He since has married again but he says he has been told that our nikkah is still valid. He still wants me as his wife and wants to reconcile. I don't believe we are still married. I haven't remarried and have been on my own since our spilt. Is the divorce valid?

Asalamualaikum, I would like to buy a maserati but am not sure regarding the symbol which is a Trident. Maserati is made in Modena, Italy today, but they were founded in Bologna. One of Bologna's most famous symbols is the fountain that depicts Neptune, a god of the seas, complete with his signature trident. The Maserati logo is inspired by this powerful icon, which symbolizes mastery over the water's raw power. That is what it said on google. With this being said would I be allowed to buy it if I don't believe in the stuff it means as a muslim? Jazakallah

I have heard that shaitan was afraid of Umar Ibn-e-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him). Since after Ramadan, Shaitan is not leaving me alone. He is constantly attacking me by means of doubts in my heart, derailing my focus, causing me depression and anxiety and hopelessness, and putting me in a disconnected and lost, despaired state. I really want to get rid of Shaitan the rejected. Is it possible that he stays away from me and leave me alone, with Allah's help inshaAllah?

How do we define faith? What is faith of one person in islam and in general?

The translation is: > Remember, when your Lord said to the angels: "*I have to place a > trustee on the **earth*** 1....." [2:30] And these two ayah shows us how Adam and his wife lived in Janna, but after they made a mistake, God send them to Earth. **[2:35]** > And We said to Adam: "Both you and your spouse live in the **Garden**, eat > freely to your fill wherever you like, but approach not this tree or > you will become transgressors.2 **[2:36]** > .... Go, one the antagonist of the other, and live on the **earth** for a time > ordained, and fend for yourselves."3 I heard the story like this: Adam and his wife were living in Janna, they made a mistake for eating the tree because of Shaitan's temptation, Allah send them on the Earth. But as we see, Allah told angles I have to place a trustee on the Earth, then Does Allah made his decision to put them on the Earth even before their mistake? OR **Does the word Earth in first ayah means Garden or Janna but in implicit way?** --- 1, 2, 3: From **tanzil.net** , the translation of **Ahmed Ali**
