    As-salaamu-‘alaykum. I want to say I am confused about saluting followers of the Prophets (Allah’s Blessings and Peace be upon them and other good people). We have a tradition of using saluting them (Allah’s Blessings and Peace be upon them and other good people) with phrases like “Allah be Pleased with them” or “Allah’s Mercy be upon them” or even “Peace be upon them.” I know We should not fall short of properly saluting the Prophet Muhammad (Allah’s Blessings and Peace be upon him and his followers). At the same time, I do not want to salute followers of the Prophets (Allah’s Blessings and Peace be upon them and their followers) in an incorrect way, so can you tell me if there is a better salutation than “Allah’s Blessings and Peace be upon the Prophets and other good people”? And what about good people who follow faiths other than Islam only because they do not know about Islam (meaning, they would follow Islam if they knew of it) (Allah’s Blessings and Peace be upon the Prophets and other good people)?

      Wa alaikum salam dear brother. Thank you for your query. I will try my best insha Allah to answer you.

      We are allowed to say: Peace & blessings be upon him (PBUH)
      We can also say: Peace & blessings be upon him and his family (PBUH & HF)
      Or, we can say: Peace & blessings be upon him and his family (Aalihi) and his wives (wa Azwajihi) and all his companions (wa Sahbihi Ajma’een).

      The Prophet [pbuh] once said: “Say: O Allah bless Muhammad and his household in the same way as you blessed Abraham and his household. Verily you are worthy of all praise full of all glory!”.

      Concerning the other prophets, we say [peace be upon them]
      Concerning the sahabas, we say, may Allah be pleased with them [radiAllahu anhum]
      Well, there is no specific word concerning good people, but there is nothing wrong to say concerning a muqmiin, “may Allah be satisfied with him/her”
      When someone has done a good deed, we can say simply, may Allah grant him paradise, may Allah accept his good deeds done sincerely, may Allah provide him with the best…all these are allowed to say…

    Furthermore, I have noticed something about Kung-Fu and sorcery. In Kung-Fu, you use energy called ‘Chi’ or the ‘Force’ (Star Wars term)(provided to us by Allah, of course) to make yourself fit for a fight, and in Islam, strengthening yourself for a fight is nothing new. From Star Wars, I get the impression that sorcerers use this energy to influence others and other things, rather than make themselves fit. Does this mean Kung-Fu is sorcery or rather a halal exercise for us to preserve peace against mischievous folks (as stated by martial artists)?

      May Allah help me in this question Indeed, fighting and defending ourselves are allowed in Islam. It is even recommended.
      In the hadith, the prophet [pbuh] gave us a variety of means in order to train our bodies, mind and soul. Now, i do not know the principles of kung Fu. Kung Fu is a discipline of self-defence. I do not think that kung Fu is related to sorcery. but there are many other activities that are used by sorcerers which are called negative energy to defeat the opponent. Non muslims also observe some types of meditation or yoga which are not allowed in islam because they carry along some rituals… I sincerely hope i have replied to your query. If any more question, you can still ask.

    Moreover, I have noticed that a certain amount of ethanol (a component of alcoholic drinks) has been declared to be ‘too little’ to intoxicate (like maybe 0.000000001 ml). I know that Allah’s Messenger (Allah’s Blessings and Peace be upon him) prohibited us from drinking even a palm full of wine because that is enough to intoxicate us, just as he (Allah’s Blessings and Peace be upon him) prohibited us to wear silk out of pride. However, I heard of a report that he (Allah’s Blessings and Peace be upon him) allowed us to use silk bandages to cover wounds, not to wear them out of pride. Does this mean that we may drink levels of ethanol that are too little to intoxicate us, knowing that these cannot intoxicate (like maybe 0.000000001 ml) us? After all, I know Islam has scientific bases behind at least a number of rules.

      Brother, what i can provide you as answer is this. Normally in all drugs which are used as curative purposes contain a small amount of alcohol. Sometimes they will indicate the amount, sometimes they will not notify. In any way, drugs do contain a very small amount of alcohol. But this amount is so few, that it is allowed by the majority of scholars. AS you have yourself stated the amount.000000001ml

      However, you will notice that in some sirops, example for cough, they use a more consequent amount and they will even notify this in the list of ingredients. So, this one you should avoid. Why? simply because it is illegal and you will feel the after effect, dizziness, drowsiness etc.

      Concerning silk. Well the wearing of silk is haram for men in this world but will be allowed in the after world. Because silk tends to effeminate. On women, they tend to beautify and render the skin soft. Whereas if you use if as a bandage, there is absolutely nothing wrong.
      May Allah forgive us for our shortcomings.

    In this post that disappeared I wanted to say that I want to know if there is any better salutation for good people (apart the Prophets (Allah’s Blessings and Peace be upon them and other good people)) that is better than “Allah’s Blessings and Peace be upon the Prophets and other good people”, because we used salutations like “Allah be pleased with them” or “Allah’s Mercy be upon them.” This is as I know it is a sin to fall short of properly saluting the Prophet Muhammad (Allah’s Blessings and Peace be upon him), and I do not want to fall short of properly saluting followers of the Prophets (Allah’s Blessings and Peace be upon them and other good people) and those who would follow Islam if they knew about it (but do not know of Islam).

      The answer is simple: we need to obey Allah and His messenger.

      there are only two festivals in the islamic calendar: Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul Adha. The prophet [pbuh] never celebrated his birthday nor did the sahabas.
      rather the prophet [pbuh] used to fast every Monday, the day on which he was born.

      I want to remind muslims and myself that the date upon which the prophet was born is the same as he departed from this world. So, why do we need to celebrate Milad un nabi?

      Yes, sending salam on the prophet [phub] as we do during swalat, is recommended. Like darood ibrahim.

      But if you praise the prophet [pbuh], this of course is not allowed. Why? because the prophet himself hated this attitude. There are hadith which speaks about this issue. You cannot raise the prophet [though he was perfect among all human beings] to the same level as the Creator, Allah. Allah is supreme in all His attributes. The prophet is a creature of Allah
