Is it haram to have a crush on someone? I have a crush on this girl (who is also Muslim) but I haven't yet spoken to her properly. I haven't made much effort to get in touch with her or have any sort of relationship with her. We used to go to the same coaching class and our schools were separated into boys and girls. I did not intentionally gaze at her, it was unavoidable and purely unintentional as we were in the same coaching class. She just knows that I exist and nothing else has happened between us. I just wanted to know whether the feeling I'm having towards this girl is haram or halal? Secondly is it permissible for us to make a wish to Allah swt to get us married to the person that we love?

## Question ## Suppose a Kafir publicly defames, slanders and mocks the messenger of Allah in a country where doing so is legal for him, and executing him for his slander against the messenger would be illegal. Is it permissible in such a case for a muslim citizen of that country to break the law of the country and execute the slanderer for his crime of blasphemy in a vigilante fashion? ---------- ## Research Effort ## Regarding the permissibility of breaking the law to execute a slanderer of the messenger, in this hadith > It has been narrated on the authority of Jabir that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Who will kill Ka'b b. Ashraf? He has maligned Allah, the Exalted, and His Messenger. Muhammad b. Maslama said: Messenger of Allah, do you wish that I should kill him? He said: Yes. He said: Permit me to talk (to him in the way I deem fit). He said: Talk (as you like). So, Muhammad b. Maslama came to Ka'b and talked to him, referred to the old friendship between them and said: This man (i. e. the Holy Prophet) has made up his mind to collect charity (from us) and this has put us to a great hardship. When be heard this, Ka'b said: By God, you will be put to more trouble by him. Muhammad b. Maslama said: No doubt, now we have become his followers and we do not like to forsake him until we see what turn his affairs will take. I want that you should give me a loan. He said: What will you mortgage? He said: What do you want? He said: Pledge me your women. He said: You are the most handsome of the Arabs; should we pledge our women to you? He said: Pledge me your children. He said: The son of one of us may abuse us saying that he was pledged for two wasqs of dates, but we can pledge you (cur) weapons. He said: All right. Then Muhammad b. Maslama promised that he would come to him with Harith, Abu 'Abs b. Jabr and Abbad b. Bishr. So they came and called upon him at night. He came down to them. Sufyan says that all the narrators except 'Amr have stated that his wife said: I hear a voice which sounds like the voice of murder. He said: It is only Muhammad b. Maslama and his foster-brother, Abu Na'ila. When a gentleman is called at night even it to be pierced with a spear, he should respond to the call. Muhammad said to his companions: As he comes down, I will extend my hands towards his head and when I hold him fast, you should do your job. So when he came down and he was holding his cloak under his arm, they said to him: We sense from you a very fine smell. He said: Yes, I have with me a mistress who is the most scented of the women of Arabia. He said: Allow me to smell (the scent on your head). He said: Yes, you may smell. So he caught it and smelt. Then he said: Allow me to do so (once again). He then held his head fast and said to his companions: Do your job. And they killed him. **[ [Muslim](https://quranx.com/Hadith/Muslim/USC-MSA/Book-19/Hadith-4436/) ]** it (In my fallible interpretation) appears that the messenger permitted Ibn Maslama to deceive the maligner (Ka’b) in order to execute him. From this I thought that a muslim citizen’s breaking of the law in order to execute a slanderer of the messenger would be analogous to the deception Ibn maslama used in killing ka’b. On the other hand, a Muslim citizen is bound by a covenant to the laws of the country that he agrees to simply by being a citizen, while as far as I know Ibn Maslama did not have any similar covenant. So in this respect I’m unsure if the Hadith provides a sound basis for breaking the law of the land to implement a blasphemy death penalty. ---------- Regarding the permissibility of executing a slanderer of the messenger in a vigilante manner: > Ibn 'Abbas narrated that : There was a blind man during the time of the Messenger of Allah who had an Umm Walad by whom he had two sons. She used to slander and defame the Messenger of Allah a great deal, and he would rebuke her, but she would not pay heed, and he would forbid her to do that, but she ignored him. (The blind man said) One night I mentioned the Prophet , and she slandered him. I could not bear it so I went and got a dagger which I thrust into her stomach and leaned upon it, and killed her. In the morning she was found slain. Mention of that was made to the Prophet and he gathered the people and said: "I adjure by Allah; a man over whom I have the right, that he should obey me, and he did what he did, to stand up." The blind man started to tremble and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I am the one who killed her. She was my Umm Walad and she was kind and gentle toward me, and I have two sons like pearls from her, but she used to slander and defame you a great deal. I forbade her, but she did not stop, and I rebuked her, but she did not pay heed. Finally, I mentioned your name and she slandered you, so I went and got a dagger which I thrust into her stomach, and leaned on it until I killed her. The Messenger of Allah said: “I bear witness that her blood is permissible." **[ [Sunan Nasa’i](https://sunnah.com/nasai:4070) ]** It appears ( to me ) the messenger permitted the application of the blasphemy death penalty in what appears to me, a vigilante fashion. But in this case, the slanderer was a slave under the authority of the one who killed her, and l’m unsure if the statement >I bear witness that her blood is permissible Can be applied to cases other than in which the slanderer of the messenger is a slave of a Muslim. Although, Nasai’s chapter heading for this Hadith is: >Chapter: The Ruling on the One Who Defames the Prophet So I consider this as somewhat of an evidence that the permissibility of the vigilante execution of the blasphemous slave woman is to be extended to free persons as well. ---------- An answer would be very much appreciated, Jazakallah.

As Salamu Aleikum My First question: i am seeking the help of my senior and brothers today concerning gathering to recite the full Quran whereby anyone will be reading a Juz or two. I recently heard that is somehow an inovation (bida'a) so i have been thinking about a lot because i do give myself to such event that we hold every friday morning and when one of us is in need of help, so i went online to make some researches concerning this topic and i almost all the islamic platforms i've visited say that the way we've been doing it is an inivation in a way. So i have this strong doubt about it since then and i couldn't ask my imam because we practice it at his house and most of the imam and big sheikhs in our erea practice it so my only solution was the internet and i'm still learning arabic i have not reach a level where i will start learning the hadiths and the Fiqr. My second question is since i am having a strong doubt i wanted to come up with lie so that i could escape in the participation of such event... PLEASE I AM A BTROTHER IS DISTRESS, I WOULD SERIOUSLY BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

In Qur'an 33:56, the translation is "Indeed, Allah showers His blessings upon the Prophet, and His angels pray for him. O believers! Invoke Allah’s blessings upon him, and salute him with worthy greetings of peace." But somebody said the correct one is "Indeed, God and his angels pray for the Prophet" The Arabic word for pray is "يصلى " and the arabic word for "send blessings on" is "صلى على " and the word in the qur'an is "يُصَلُّوْنَ" So Pray = "Yusalli" Send blessings on = "Salli 'ala" Word in the qur'an = "Yusalluna" I know this is incorrect bcs ppl who can speak Arabic would notice about this ofc. However, i can't speak Arabic (i can only read it), so how do i refute this? Thanks.
