Day Questions

If the parents of a person do not want their duty-bound (baligh) son to do something that is recommended, and the son does not perform that act in front of them, is he allowed to do it in a way that his parents do not get to know about it and they do not get hurt emotionally? For example, the parents tell the son not to go to the mosque and pray in congregation, can the son go in a way that his parents do not get to know about it and they do not get hurt emotionally?

Yes, it is permissible for him to do so without them knowing.

Am I allowed to marry a woman who believes in God but does not have any religion?

No, it is not permissible to do so.

I have come to know that my brother – who is 15 years old – has started a relationship with a girl, who he meets at times and mostly they communicate via the internet. I was shocked to find this out, and I feel it is my duty to bring him back to the right path. However, I fear that if I say something he would take it negatively and do something worse. What is your advice in this situation?

You are advised to deal with your brother with calmness and wisdom taking into consideration his young age and the stage of adolescence that he is passing. You can explain to him the negative effect of the non-religious relations on his future. He may react positively to your calm advice and reasonable way. We ask the Almighty to guide you in this mission.

What do the names of Allah, al-Hannan, al-Haseeb, al-Basit mean?

Al-Hannan is He who shows compassion and kindness. So, it is close to the name “Raheem” which means ‘merciful’. Al-Haseeb means the One who accounts for everything, so no deed is left accounted for. Al-Basit means the One whose bounty encompasses His slaves, so His power surrounds them.
