  • Finding it difficult to perform the 'Ishaa' and Fajr prayers

    As-salaamu 3laikum, I heard a hadeeth about fajr and 'isha being the most difficult of the five prayers for the hypocrites and I was wondering if you could explain it.

  • Avoiding sin out of fear of the law of the land

    We have to follow Sharia law and we also have to follow the law of the land. Is it shirk to not commit certain sins because of the law of the land and not because of the laws that Allah has sent to us?

  • Delivering the message of Islam inefficiently to non-Muslims

    As-salaamu 3laikum, My question is about surat at-Tawbah ayat 113.
