Answer:

Whom should we ask the question to ?

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad(saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

May Allah Subhanah reward you with the best of this world and the Hereafter for your kind comments of encouragement for our humble efforts in the propagation of the Truth. If our humble and modest efforts have helped even one brother or sister get closer to Allah and His Deen of Truth, then we would consider ourselves indeed fortunate to have been given this opportunity by the Lord Most Merciful to serve in His Cause. We hope, beg, and pray the Merciful Lord accepts our humble and weak efforts, forgives us our shortcomings, and saves you, us, and all the believers from the torment of the Hell Fire. Ameen.

Beloved sister in Islam, our precise intention in forming this humble forum was for the exact same reason, that our brothers and sisters could ask any question they wish on this beautiful deen in absolute anonymity. You can forward your questions to us on the same format you send this message, and if Allah Wills and Helps us, we will address your questions in the light of the guidance of the Glorious Quran and the Sunnah of the Noble Messenger of Allah (saws).

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 218 Narrated by Anas ibn Malik

Allah's Messenger (saws) said: ‘The seeking of knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim.’

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 2879 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As

The Prophet (saws) said: ‘Knowledge has three categories; anything else is extra.

1. a precise Aayah,
2. or an established Sunnah,
3. or a firm obligatory duty.’

May Allah Subhanah increase yours and our quest for seeking this knowledge of Truth, bless you and us, guide you and us, have mercy on you and us, and save you and us and all the believers from the torment of the Hell Fire. Ameen.

If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws), he can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), he can be assured of being led astray.

We look forward to receiving your questions.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
