A lady I know converted to Islam, but her Christian
parents want her to visit the church with them. If she
denies, then they have family problems. Can the lady go to
church, just to have normal relationship with the parents?
I am a revert to Islam from a very orthodox Christian
family. However my hunger to delve deep into Islam and
other religions never ceased. The sad part of the story is
that I never found anyone able to give at least most of
the answers for the questions I ask. But your newsletter
seems to be doing a good job. Here are a few questions I
wish you could answer.
a.
Why aren’t Islamic missionaries active the way Christian
missionaries are? Won’t Islam grow much faster and
misunderstandings removed if there are good scholars to
preach the faith? Why is there such a slack among Muslims?
b.
Is it permissible in Islam to sponsor an orphan? Not
adoption. Something like sponsoring his education, etc.?
c.
Are the views of the so-called ‘terrorists’ like bin Laden
really wrong or justifiable? I mean should a Muslim
support his activities? Can children and innocent people
be killed in wars when the prophet had declared not to do
so?
23.
Do the Muslims
Believe in Jesus (pbuh) and his Second Coming?
24.
Is it Compulsory to Wear
the Trousers Above the Ankles?
25.
Dr. Zakir Naik
talk Proves a big draw in Bangalore
26. How Shameful, We Don't Have a Media of Our
Own!
27. I am a
dentist by profession, my questions are: If a husband and
wife have a mutual divorce,
a. Is there an
‘Iddah period to be observed by the divorced wife?
b. Should the
divorced husband give the maintenance money for her?
c. Can the
divorced husband have sex with the divorced wife?
d. Can the two
talk on the phone to each other after the divorce?
28. Is a
Muslim woman permitted to go out for a job (organization
belongs to Muslims with all women staff) even if her
husband can support the family well? What does Islam say
about it? In this case the main reason why this woman
wants to join this organization is to keep her busy and to
mould herself completely in an Islamic environment.
29. (a) Can a
rich Muslim wife give portion of her Zakat to her poor
husband?
(b) Can a
Muslim husband compel his wife (working in a public sector
undertaking) to spend all her earnings on family needs and
invest his earnings and his wife’s savings on assets
solely in his name and not even in her name?
(c) What
portion, if at all, of a Muslim wife’s salary a Muslim
husband can claim for needs of the family although it is
the onus on him to provide for the family?
30.
Is it allowed for a wife to address her
husband by his name, as our previous generation didn’t do
so?
31.
What is the Islamic Ruling on
Contraception?
32.
Da'wah or Islaah - which is more important?
33.
Is Islam a cult? I don't understand how this religion can
be embraced by so many. It's inconceivable that such
hatred has ever been collected in a single population such
as that which calls itself Muslim. Mohammad, and indeed,
his followers, are way off the path. Stop your attacks on
non-Muslims?
34.
Religion, if it is true, should be able to stand
scientific scrutiny. Is there an Islamic arena where this
kind of discussion is possible?
35.
Hinduism is the oldest of all the religions and thus the
most pure, authentic and best of all the religions of the
world, and not Islam!
36.
When Muslims in India insist on having a separate Muslim
Personal Law for themselves, why don’t they also insist on
implementing the Islamic Criminal Law for the Muslims; for
example implementing the rule that the robber’s hands
should be chopped off if a Muslim robs?
37.
Why do Muslims bury dead bodies instead of cremating them,
i.e. burning them?
38.
Is there no such thing as a 'Will' in Islam? In Islam, can
a person 'Will' his assets or property as per his wishes,
after his death, to people other than those prescribed in
the methods of the Shari’ah? Is this 'Will' legally valid
in India?
39.
Does a Muslim man require explicit consent from his first
wife, to marry a second woman?

A few people in our locality raise their hands before and
after doing ‘Rukoo’. Is it a correct act while
praying?
42.
I am told by many people that it is not permissible to
read the Qur’an or do Sajdah after Asr prayers and that we
cannot pray, be it reading Qur’an or Namaz at 12.00 clock.
Kindly reply!
43.
Can a Muslim man marry a Christian or a Jew? Please
explain
44.
It is mentioned in your Qur’an that Mary was the sister of
Aaron (pbuh). Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) did not know the
difference between Miriam the sister of Aaron (pbuh) and
Mary the Mother of Jesus (pbuh), as the time span between
both of them was about a thousand years.
45.
I have a doubt about playing of musical instruments. Is
this an act of Satan?
46.
Is man created from sperm or dust?
47.
I am Bilal. I’d like to know about hair coloring according
to Qur’an and Hadith. I came to know that it is
permissible. Is it right? Please explain providing
evidence from authentic sources of Islam.
48.
Is it true that my last prayer should be witr or is this
merely recommended as a prudent course of action by the
Prophet (saw). Once I pray witr after Isha and later I
want to pray Nafil, can I do so?
49.
It is with great trepidation and alarm and not a little
grief that I read the article that you published in your
magazine written by Dr. Zakir Naik declaring that Allah
Subhanahu wa ta’ala may be called
by any name that a person finds to his liking.
50.
Why are women not allowed in the mosque?
51.
Why do Muslims follow the lunar calendar instead of the
solar calendar?
52.
Why are all prayers and supplications not answered or
fulfilled by Allah (SWT)?
53.
Why is building of temples and churches and the
propagation of any religion other than Islam not allowed
in Islamic countries like Saudi Arabia?
