DO MUSLIMS WORSHIP THE BLACK STONE & THE KA'BAH?

Question:

What is the rebuttal to the Malaahidah (atheists) who say: You O Muslims worship a stone and circumambulate around it! So how can you reproach others from worship of idols and statues/images?
Answer:

This is an evident lie, we do not worship the [black] stone but rather we touch it and kiss it - the same as the Messenger of Allaah SallAllahu 'alayhi wasallam did - in worship of Allaah and in emulating the Messenger of Allaah SallAllahu 'alayhi wasallam.

ALI - MAY ALLAH BE PLEASED WITH HIM - CAN HELP NO ONE AFTER HIS DEATH

Question:

Does Ali - may Allah be pleased with him- help anyone in times of calamities?
Answer:

Ali, may Allah be pleased with, was killed without being aware of his assassin's scheme, nor was he able to protect himself from it .How then could it then be alleged that he can ward off calamities from others after his death, when he could ward off from himself when he was alive? He who believes that Ali or any dead person can extend a benefit to others, or help them obtain it, or ward off evil from them is a Mushrik, because these things are restricted to Allah, Glorious is He.

Therefore, whoever believes that a creature can do that and he seeks his help, then he takes such one for God, Allah the Exalted , says : {And if Allah inflicts harm on you there is none who can remove it except He, And if He intends to do good for you, there is none to repel His Bounty. He makes it reach whomsoever of his slaves he wills. He is Forgiving, the Merciful}Surah Yunus, ayat 107

PLACING A WREATH(CROWN, CORONA, IE CROWN OF FLOWERS) ON A GRAVE

Question:

:Is placing a wreath on a grave of a unknown Soldier equal to aggrandizing the Awliya and pious people to the point of worshipping ?
Answer:

This practice is a innovation, and excess in terms of revering the dead, and it is similar to the practice of those who over-rever pious people. It is feared that this practice may lead to building domes above their graves, seeking their blessing, and their taking them for gods besides Allah, Glorious is He. This practice should be stopped lest it lead to Shirk. May Allah exalt the mention of our Prophet Muhammed, his household, and companions and render them safe from evil.

HE WHO MAKES OFFERING TO JINN SHALL HAVE NO GOOD DEEDS OF HIS ACCEPTED UNTIL HE REPENTS.

Question:

Some students of knowledge told us that he who makes offering to jinn, neither his prayer nor Hajj would be accepted from him. When I heard this, I repented to Allah because I use to do so, and I performed Hajj, but they said that my Hajj was void? .Is it true that my Hajj is void? And if so, do I have to perform Hajj again?
Answer:

Sacrificing animals for Jinn is Shirk. He who does so, and dies before repenting, would live in Hell-fire eternally. No good deed is acceptable in the state of Shirk. Allah says: {Were they to commit Shirk, their (good) deeds would have been nullified} Al-An'am 6:88. All praise to Allah Who has accommodated you to repent from this grave sin with which no good deed is accepted.

Perform Hajj again, and if you are sincere in your repentance, Allah has promised to forgive those who repent, and replace their bad deeds with good ones. He says: {And those who do not worship another God besides Allah, nor kill another person that Allah has forbidden, except rightfully, nor commit adultery ( or fornication), and he who does so shall be punished.

His torment shall be doubled on the day of Resurrection, and will live therein disgraced forever .Excluding those who repent, and believe and do good deeds, and Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful} Al Furqan 25 : 68-70
