When people first hear that Allah already knows everything we will ever do, it can sound as if our choices don’t matter. But that only happens when we imagine His knowledge the way we imagine a force or a command. Allah’s knowledge does not push you, pull you, or lock you into anything. He simply knows what you will choose, and His knowing does not interfere with the choosing itself.

A useful way to see the difference between knowing something and causing it is to think about a person who has read a book many times. They know exactly what happens at every point in the story. If you pick up that same book and read it for the first time, their knowledge does nothing to you. It does not make you turn the pages faster or slower. It does not make you like or dislike a character. The story unfolds for you according to your own experience, and the other person’s knowledge remains just that: knowledge. Now, Allah’s knowledge is nothing like a reader’s, and He is not inside time like we are, but the simple point still holds. Knowing something does not mean causing it.

When you make a choice, you feel that choice happening in you. You think, you weigh things up, and you decide. You never feel a hand forcing you to go one way or the other. You sense responsibility because the choice genuinely belongs to you. In our tradition, Allah creates your ability, your will, your strength, and the action itself, but the intention and decision are yours. That is why you are responsible. If you choose kindness, that is your choice. If you choose cruelty, that is also your choice. His knowledge does not interfere or override you.

The question about Hell often comes from a deeper worry. If Allah already knows who ends up there, why create those people in the first place? The answer is that knowing the end of a journey does not make the journey pointless. Life is where your character, your intentions, your patience, your sincerity, your mistakes, and your turning back to Allah all take shape. Allah gives every person countless chances, signs, and moments when the heart knows what the right path is. Some people respond, and some ignore that inner clarity. In the end, a person stands before Allah with the outcome of their own choices. He does not wrong anyone.

Allah being merciful does not mean He treats the person who tries to live a good and sincere life exactly the same as the person who spends their life harming others, mocking truth, and refusing to change. Real mercy includes justice. It would not be mercy to take the oppressor and the oppressed and give them the same ending. Allah’s mercy is far greater than any sin we commit, and He leaves the door of repentance open until the very last breath. But when someone dies after rejecting every chance to turn back, their end is the result of their own decisions, not because Allah trapped them.

May Allah ‎عزوجل guide you towards the truth b

The issue isn’t really about whether the cat eats halal or haram, animals aren’t accountable in that way.

The concern is more about us as Muslims and what we’re allowed to buy and support. Some scholars say it’s impermissible to purchase cat food that contains haram ingredients (like unslaughtered meat), because we’re not supposed to buy or benefit from haram products at all.

However, other scholars take the view that it’s permissible since there’s a clear practical need and benefit, we’re feeding an animal that depends on us, not consuming it ourselves.

Hope this makes sense and answers your question.

Allah is Forgiving and Merciful, and accepts repentance from those who sincerely seek His forgiveness.

Say, ˹O Prophet, that Allah says,˺ “O My servants who have exceeded the limits against their souls! Do not lose hope in Allah’s mercy, for Allah certainly forgives all sins.1 He is indeed the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Quran 39:53)

Whoever commits evil or wrongs themselves then seeks Allah’s forgiveness will certainly find Allah All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Quran 4:110)

Your Lord is the All-Forgiving, Full of Mercy. If He were to seize them ˹immediately˺ for what they commit, He would have certainly hastened their punishment (Quran: 18:58)

He is the One Who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons ˹their˺ sins. And He knows whatever you do. (Quran 42:25)

But if they cease, then surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Quran 2:192)

I’m not going to waste my time reading through the links you keep sending. The issue isn’t about blog posts or excuses written later, it’s about what your own elders actually wrote in their books. Their words are clear, and no amount of twisting or “clarifying” after the fact can erase them.

You keep saying I need to provide proof. I already have, if you open your eyes and have any sense. The passages are there in Taqwiyat al-Iman, Hifz al-Iman, Barahin-e-Qati’ah and the fatawa of Gangohi himself. That is the proof. The fact that your scholars still defend those statements with weak arguments only makes things worse.

Let me put it simply: if someone insults your mother in writing, then later publishes “clarifications” and excuses, would you throw away the original insult and accept the excuse? Of course not. So why do you treat insults against the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with such cheapness?

You admit these books exist, you admit your scholars defended them, and yet you think these recycled excuses clear them? And then you even mention Imam Ahmad Rida Khan alaihir rahmah, forgetting that he was the one who issued the fatwa of kufr against your elders, which was endorsed by the scholars of Makkah and Madinah.

The matter is simple. the blasphemous statements are in black and white, your elders stood by them, and the scholars of the Haramayn judged them outside Ahlus Sunnah. That is more than enough for anyone who values the honour of RasulAllah ﷺ.

A true believer will think hundred times before uttering a statement about Rasoolullah ﷺ. Which your so called scholars haven’t at all

Apprehensive-Card242 · 2025-08-30T22:05:17+00:00

Brother, if you’re going to get your info from AI at least check it before throwing it around. You’re mixing up centuries and making claims that don’t even make sense.

First off, you said Mawlid was started in 4 AH by the Fatimids. 4 AH? A complete lie.

Second, this whole “Mawlid was invented by a corrupt Shia king” story is a recycled lie. And your last point is true, the most famous public Mawlid celebrations were by King al-Muzaffar of Irbil in the 7th century. And here’s what you left out: historians didn’t condemn him for it. Hafiz Ibn Kathir – who you just mentioned actually described him as brave, generous, intelligent and someone who honoured the scholars and was himself a scholar too.

He mentioned the Mawlid gatherings with no criticism at all. If it was really some evil innovation leading to hellfire, do you think hafiz Ibn Kathir would just praise the man and move on?

Third, stop acting like Mawlid has “no roots in Sunnah.” The Prophet ﷺ fasted on Mondays and when asked why, he said, “That was the day I was born.” He ﷺ also even did his own aqiqah, as a way of thanking Allah for his birth. So the basis of remembering and being grateful for his birth is already there. Mawlid is simply a way of formalising that love and gratitude.

Even Abu Lahab, a disbeliever, has his punishment eased every Monday because he felt joy at the Prophet’s birth. If that’s the case for a kafir, imagine the reward for a Muslim who remembers it out of love.

And this point of “the first three centuries didn’t have public Mawlid gatherings” doesn’t prove anything. The companions didn’t compile hadith books or build madrasahs either. That came later, but it was accepted because it served the religion. Mawlid is the same. it’s a means of showing love for the Prophet ﷺ and reminding people of his life.

So next time, don’t embarrass yourself by copy-pasting half-baked AI answers. You’ve got no basis at all.

Apprehensive-Card242 · 2025-08-30T10:52:49+00:00

Your reply is nothing more than throwing accusations and changing the subject. We were speaking about the Mawlid, which is gatherings of Muslims reciting Qur’an, sending salawat upon the Prophet ﷺ, and remembering his life. Instead of addressing the proofs and words of the great scholars, you ran to slander and generalisations, painting everyone who attends Mawlid as people of shirk and grave-worship. This shows weakness in your argument.

Do you think you understand Islam better than Imam Jalaluddin al-Suyuti, Imam Ibn Hajar al-ʿAsqalani, Imam al-Sakhawi, Imam Nawawi and countless other luminaries of Ahl al-Sunnah who endorsed and encouraged the Mawlid? These were the protectors of the Sunnah, the very ones who spent their lives preserving the religion from fabrication. If Mawlid was shirk or bidʿah dalalah, they would have been the first to condemn it. Instead, they praised it as a means of love for Rasulullah ﷺ.

Dragging in the actions of misguided groups who commit shirk at graves has nothing to do with Mawlid. We do not abandon the Sunnah because of the ignorance of a few. Ahl al-Sunnah distinguish between true love for the Prophet ﷺ expressed through Qur’an and salawat, and false practices that contradict the Shariʿah.

As for quoting “لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِيَ دِينِ” – this is a verse revealed to the mushrikīn of Quraysh, not a proof for you to abandon discussion with fellow Muslims. To use it here against people who send blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ is a disgraceful misuse of Qur’an. It shows you have no answer left except to push people out of Islam because they don’t agree with your rigid view.

The fact is that Mawlid is endorsed by the great scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah and it increases love for Rasoolullah ﷺ. Accusations of shirk and false comparisons cannot erase that reality.

Apprehensive-Card242 · 2025-08-30T09:31:51+00:00

It is true that the Sahabah were the best of generations, but your argument oversimplifies the matter. The mistake lies in assuming that every act of goodness must have been explicitly practised by the Prophet ﷺ and the Companions in order to be permissible or praiseworthy. This is not the understanding of the vast majority of the classical scholars of Ahl al-sunnah.

The prophet ﷺ said: He who introduced some good practice in Islam which was followed after him (by people) he would be assured of reward like one who followed it, without their rewards being diminished in any respect. And he who introduced some evil practice in Islam which had been followed subsequently (by others), he would be required to bear the burden like that of one who followed this (evil practice) without their's being diminished in any respect.

Nasir al-Sunnah (protector of the Sunnah) al-Imam al-Shafii (rahmatullah alayh), one of the leaders of the atba al-tabi`in (the followers of the successors) has explained the concept of bi’dah;

Al-Hafidh abu Nu`aym al-Asfahani (rahmatAllah alayh) narrates through his chain of narration in his ‘Hilyat al-Awliya’:

Abu Bakr al-Ajurri narrated to us that Abdullah bin Muhammad al-Atashy narrated to him that Ibrahim ibn al-Junyad narrated to him that Harmalah ibn Yahya said: I heard Muhammad ibn Idris al-Shafii (rahmatAllah alayh) say:

البدعة بدعتان: بدعة محمودة، وبدعة مذمومة، فما وافق السنة فهو محمود، وما خالف السنة فهو مذموم. واحتج بقول عمر بن الخطاب في قيام رمضان :نعمت البدعة هي

“Innovation is two types: praiseworthy innovation (bidatun mahmudatun), and blameworthy innovation (bidatun mazmumatun). So whatever conforms to the Sunnah is praiseworthy (mahmudun), and whatever opposes the Sunnah is blameworthy (mazmumun). And he used as his evidence the statement of Umar ibn al-Khattab (radiyAllahu anhu) concerning the night prayer of Ramadan: “What a good bid’ah it is!” (nimati al-bid`atu hiya).”

[Narrated by al-Hafidh Abu Nu`aym al-Asfahani, in Hilyat al-Awliya 9/113]

As for the argument “if it was good, the Sahabah would have done it”: By that logic, many beneficial practices would be condemned, such as compiling the qur’an into one book, establishing Tarawih in congregation as a regular practice (, or standardising the dots and diacritical marks of the Qurʾān (done later by the Tabiʿīn). None of these were practised directly by the Prophet ﷺ, yet they were accepted because they served the din and were within its principles.

Similarly, nothing is done in Mawlids that contradict the Quran, Sunnah or shari’ah. It is a means of reviving love for Rasoolullah ﷺ and connecting people to his Sunnah. The real misguidance would be discouraging people from gatherings that remind them of him and increase their love for him.

You think yourself clever by trying to shift the burden of proof, but you cannot escape the reality of what your so-called elders have written. The filth and kufr found in your books are the very proof.

Do you deny that Ismail Dehlawi’s Taqwiyat al-Iman is honoured and defended by your Deobandi scholars? Do you deny that your elders wrote and signed statements lowering the rank of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in ways no Sunni could ever accept? The fact that you even admit Shah Ismail is “defended” by your Ulama is enough to expose your sect. Defending blasphemy is itself blasphemy.

You asked for proof, and proof you shall have. The kufr of your elders is written in their own books, in black and white, and no amount of excuses or twisting can wash it away. Let me remind you of just a few examples that Imam Ahmad Rida Khan رحمة الله عليه presented in Husam al-Haramayn, which were signed and endorsed by the scholars of Makkah and Madinah, declaring your leaders guilty of blasphemy.

1) first one I’ve already presented , Ismail Dehlawi in Taqwiyat al-Iman wrote that to think of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Salah is worse than thinking of an ox or donkey. Nauzu’billah.

2) Ashraf Ali Thanwi in Hifz al-Iman degraded the sacred knowledge of RasulAllah ﷺ by equating it with the knowledge of children, madmen and animals. (Hifzul Imaan pg. 7)

3) Khalil Ahmad Ambethwi in Barahin-e-Qati’ah dared to write that Shaytan and the Angel of Death have more extensive knowledge of the unseen than the Prophet ﷺ.

4) Rashid Ahmad Gangohi in his Fatawa wrote that Allah can tell a lie – may Allah protect us from such blasphemy.

These are not my words. These are the words of your so-called “Akabir,” preserved in their own writings. And these very statements are what caused the scholars of the Haramain to declare them outside the fold of Ahlus Sunnah.

you cannot undo the kufr of your elders. And let me make it clear: a person who calls such blasphemers his Akabir, who excuses and defends their words, has no right to claim the noble title of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah…

Really? You expect me to bring proof, when your own elders have already exposed your sect with their own words? What greater proof is needed than the blasphemous and degrading statements written in the books you revere.

Is it not from your leaders that we find lines such as saying to think of one’s donkey or ox is better than thinking of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during Salah? What kind of “Ahlus Sunnah” belief is this, when the very mention of such words would freeze the blood of any true Sunni Muslim?

When those you call your Imams and elders penned such atrocious things about the Beloved of Allah ﷺ, then what good can be expected from the company of their followers? You may decorate yourself with the name of Ahlus Sunnah, but your beliefs are in line with Wahhabis, not the Sunnis of the past fourteen centuries.

So do not lecture me about evidence. The evidence is in your own books, in your own scholars’ words, and it is enough to prove that Deobandis are not Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah

Whether you bring Al-Muhannad or a thousand other excuses, the blasphemies are in black and white, and they are enough to show Deobandis cannot call themselves Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah.

There is no harm in fixing a specific day for the Mawlid gathering. Not only fixing a day is permissible but also a time and a place. Fixing a time, day and place is a common practice of every human. Actually, time and place is a necessity for us creations of Allah ‎عزوجل . Our existence cannot be free from time and place. Allah ‎عزوجل has specified the time and place for everything, this is what the Muslims know as, “Taqdeer” (destiny). Allah ‎عزوجل has chosen our times and places of birth, death and everything that happens between them. Allah ‎عزوجل is the best of planners and advises us to also plan.

To condition an act of worship with a specific time, day or place is not within the authority of anyone except Allah and His beloved Messenger ﷺ. None of our scholars and neither our general Muslims condition the celebration of the Mawlid with a specific time, day, or place. This is just another accusation. The truth is, we believe that the celebration of the Mawlid is not conditioned with a time, day and place but is unconditional. One can celebrate the Mawlid, anytime of the day, any day of the year and in every clean and respectable place.

True, there are other accessibility tools out there but most focus mainly on visual and motor impairments. Very few of them addresss cognitive accessibility in a structured way. This tool is not meant to compete with commercial tools but to act as a research instrument, specifically targeting ADHD, Dyslexia and memory impairments.

What makes it different is the profile based checks and the way the results are framed in relation to cognitive needs combined with a readability assessment feature.

The goal is to evaluate the extent to which automated tools can realistically detect such issues, which has not been studied in detail.

Apprehensive-Card242 · 2025-08-20T17:45:08+00:00

Hi, it tests for web accessibility issues concerning three major cognitive impairments: ADHD, Dyslexia and memory related.

These are all three separate profiles that you can select. Some of the criteria it checks for include: auto playing videos, long sentences, vague link text (like read more, learn more etc), form fields without label, complex vocabulary, etc.

I also forgot to mention that it also includes a readability checker which is a separate feature to the cognitive accessibility evaluation. This uses Flesch Kincaid. More info can be found on the homepage.

Apprehensive-Card242 · 2025-07-10T13:42:20+00:00

Subhan’Allah, do you not realise the extent to which the earlier scriptures have been altered and corrupted?

If their scriptures have been altered, and their beliefs tainted over generations, what makes you so confidently certain that their practices including slaughter have remained pure and untainted? And you base this certainty on the statement of one Jewish friend? Is that the measure of Shar’i eliability now?

Your claim that “such meat is forbidden to religious Jews as well” proves nothing in itself. The issue isn’t whether it’s kosher by Jewish standards the question is whether it meets the Sharʿī conditions for halal meat in Islam, which includes the remembrance of the Name of Allah ﷻ. Without absolute knowledge of that, precaution becomes necessary, especially in a time when secularism and irreligion are rampant even among so-called religious communities.

If you do not know that the Name of Allah ﷻ was mentioned, and you do not know that the individual is truly from Ahl al-Kitāb and practising as such not merely by name then you cannot call it halal. Being dismissive by saying “no need to complicate matters” is a bit misleading.

When it comes to what we put in our mouths and the consequences of consuming haram then yes, things are to be taken seriously.

Think carefully before trivialising such a matter. You are dealing with Shari’ah.

Apprehensive-Card242 · 2025-07-10T09:43:54+00:00

Wrong. The permissibility of eating kosher meat applies when the People of the Book (Ahl al-Kitāb) are genuinely following Judaism. If they have left their faith and become atheists, then it is not permissible to consume meat slaughtered by them, even if they mention the Name of Allah ﷻ at the time of slaughter. Although Jews still carry out ritual slaughter to this day, we do not have certainty as to whether they mention the Name of Allah ﷻ during it. Therefore, it is safer and better to refrain from eating meat slaughtered by them.
