I am trying so hard to ignore but this latest question has been sent to several Muftis and I am currently anxiously awaiting their answer


Assalamu Alaykum,

Some years back, I am pretty sure i uttered the words "Kali Ma Shakti De" which are words from a film. At the time I may have had an inkling what the words meant but wasn't sure what the words meant but just said it because it sounded good. Today, I looked this up on the Internet and discovered that the meaning of this phrase is: "Invoking the spiritual power of Kali, the Hindu goddess of creation, preservation, destruction, fear and death. It is referred to a quote in the movie "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". Would this be kufr?

Knowing the meaning, it is Shirk
Not knowing the meaning, it is not commiting an act of Kufr. Tawbah should still be done nevertheless.

Please do not post questions on the forum that should be directed to Q&A sections and to the Ulamaa who dedicate their time and expertise for this purpose. Future questions will be removed from the forum. Hoping this makes sense and is acceptable.

I have been sitting all day in bed having lost all hope of ever getting better and wanting to vent my frustration on someone. I don't see the point of getting up if, for the rest of my life, it is going to take me 30 minutes in the bath & I am going to have constant kufr thoughts. I am, unfortunately, angry with Allah in my mind but have not uttered words to that effect, although in my state of mind I can't be sure. I have questioned his decisions and feel iman has been extracted from me. You need to understand categorically that I have tried for 10 years to ignore the thoughts when making wudhu & ghusl but they are so powerful I am always drawn to act on them. Hence, I rightly or wrongly question whether the diagnosis of waswasa is correct. I have even thought in my mind that (a) there is no such concept or (b) if there is, it is inapplicable to me. I am contemplating suicide

Assalaamu 'alaykum Brother Tadees
well, suicide will only add to your problems...and these problems will not end till the aakhirah!

And getting angry at Allah is a bit unfair! He gave you the sunnah to follow, so how can it be His fault if you cannot follow our belove Nabi (sallallaahu 'alayhi wasallam) and his way.

Brother in Islam, you have to help yourself to get better. We can make du'a for you and we do, but you will have to take those steps to help yourself and insha Allah you will get better

Assalamu alaikum ww

It is truely upsetting to see how shaytaan is getting to you, in one of the most worst possible manner. I seek protection in Allah from shaytaan,the rejected one.

Reading the following book may help.I havent read this particular book but others from the same author.

Combating the Whisperings of Shaytaan

Everyday, I make firm intention that I will make wudhu & ghusl according to Sunnah. Through no fault of the Sunnah whatsoever I find myself experiencing immense mental discomfort if I do not wash more times. The fear of the spread of germs & to alleviate the mental discomfort I feel compelled to continue washing. The result is physical & mental exhaustion coupled with despondency and sinning (which I acknowledge is wrong) to numb the pain. I am now broken because the strength to wash as I do is no longer there yet I feel too unclean to pray.

Brother in Islam,
Assalaamu 'alaykum

Perhaps you should seek professional help (medical or with a qualified Shaykh like Mufti Zubair Dudha of the Islamic Tarbiyah Academy in Dewsbury) rather than on a forum. I pray you find peace of mind. Shaytaan works in many devious ways to stop us from performing our worship. We must seek Allah subhaanhu wata'ala's refuge from him.

The most effective advice of the topic. Locking topic now as this thread has sufficient information to benefit and any more posts just makes things more difficult. Remember the Hadeeth, "Religion is easy" - Let us not let Shaytaan so easily make it difficult with evil thoughts.
