Is appreciating haram things like singing, dancing etc makes a person to go out of fold of Islam.

And if this is true then what about the faith of those Muslims...
To declare a person a kafir due to committing a haram act is a sensitive issue. The degree of haram is also considered in that. Singing and dancing are haram acts, and makes one a fasiq. According to some Ulama, to appreciate singing and dancing and regard them as halal takes one out of the fold of Islam. Even those Ul...

It is our belief that every human being, irrespective of his status being a Mujahid, a Wali, an Aalim or Hafiz etc. can sin. The Prophets of Allah (Alaihimus Salaam) are excluded from this. They are masoom (sinless persons). The friends of Allah are generally mahfooz (saved) and protected from sins due to their conscio...

I have come across a question and an answer from an Islamic website. Kindly confirm if the answer given is in accordance with the correct belief of Ahlus Sunnah was Jamaah? Some atheists ask questions such as, If Allah is able to do all things, can He create another god like Himself? Praise be to Allah. ...
The question can Allah create another God like Himself? is an invalid question. Allahs existence is pre-eternal. Anything that is created is not pre-eternal and thus cannot be a God. Hence, the idea of something being created and being a God simultaneously is irrational. The limitless power of Allah applies to things t...
