Addressing Allaah with third person pronoun
Assalaamu alaykum. Thank you for replying to my message. This question is bothering me a lot, and I pray to Allah to satisfy my search through your advice. In Islam, we see everywhere that Allaah, The Exalted, loves His slaves to praise, worship, respect, and honor him. We always show our respect to elders and people of high ranks by addressing them..

Impossibility of Allaah lying
Assalaamu alaykum. I have heard scholars say that it is wrong to say that Allaah, The Exalted, can lie. Defects are not under His Power, since lying is a defect and Allah, The Exalted, is free from all defects. It is not possible for Allaah to tell a lie. Can we still say that it is possible for Allaah to lie? May Allaah reward you.

Abu Haneefah's view on istiwaa' over Throne
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu Shaykh. I would like to know whether the narration of Imam Abu Hanifa about Allaah, The Exalted, being above the throne is authentic (Sharh Aqeedah Tahawi). Some Deobandis (Asharis) are claiming that this narration is weak and munqati (discontinous). Can you please provide the full chain of this narration?

Meaning of Al-Kursi - Affirming that Allaah Almighty has two feet
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu. I would like to know what the Kursi of Allaah is. I would like to know whether Allaah, The Exalted, has two feet. What is the proof for that? I read that the hadith of Ibn Abbas that says that the Kursi is the place of Allaah's feet is weak. If it is authentic, could you please tell me which Hadith.. More

The appropriate approach to draw analogy between Allaah and His creation
Assalaamu alaykum. Is it halal to use comparisons that include The Most High to prove a point? For example, when I want to prove that disbelieving is disgusting, could I compare this to somebody being given many gifts and then just acting arrogantly? For instance, a man is on the street and someone gives him ten dollars, but he does not thank him but.. More

Describing Allaah as 'sitting' on the Throne in a narration by Ibn Al-Qayyim
Our Shaykh, may Allaah be good to you. An Ash‘ari shaykh (may Allaah guide him) has caused many doubts in the hearts of the Salafi youth. Among many of them is the following: Ibn al-Qayyim mentioned a fabricated hadith to prove his creed in Ijtimaa’ Al-Juyoosh, where he mentioned the hadith: “...For indeed, the first one to pray (janaazah-burial)..

Using the masculine pronoun
Assalaamu alaykum. I have one question. When I was young, I read why Allaah says 'He' in the Quran, I learned that the reason is that there is no neutral gender in the Arabic language, and I read that we negate gender for Allaah (being male or female). A few days ago, however, I heard a sheikh say that asking about the gender of Allaah is forbidden.. More

Imaam Abu Haneefah believed that the Quran is not created
Assalaamu alaykum. I know that stating that the Qur'an is created is kufr (disbelief). But what is the ruling on saying that one does not know whether it is created or not and declining to investigate or make a decision on the matter? Is it true that Imam Abu Hanifa refused to give a fatwa on this issue, and if so, why? May Allaah reward you.

Refuting an allegation about the resemblance of Allaah to creatures
Assalaamu alaykum. I hope it is possible to answer this question as soon as possible, because I am confused and sad. This question is so hard for me, but I need someone's help. I had a bad situation with one person who hates the creed of Ahlus-Sunnah (the people of the Sunnah) and our affirming of Allaah's attributes, such as His Hands, Face ... He.. More
