How can we define our existence? If there is nothing besides Allah and We are not part of Allah, how can we define our existence without Him or with Him?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Our existence  has been created by Allah, The Creator of all creatures. Creatures are never part of The Creator. We exist by His help and Mercy and can never live without His help and Mercy. That can never mean that we are part of Him. Allah Says in Quran : Nothing is like Allah ليس كمثله شيء.

What should I do if my parents ask me to do things that contradict Allah's commands, possibly leading to sin? Should I always obey them in both religious and non-religious matters, even when I know what is right?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

You have to always keep the respect of your parents but not obey any order which is against the orders of Allah (SWT). The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) said: No obedience to any creature in the disobedience of The Creator. If you are sure that the order given to you by your parents leads to sinful act, then you must refrain from committing sins.

Is never repeating a sin again considered as repentance without asking Allah to forgive you?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No. We must ask and beg to Allah to forgive our sins. Without being humble to seek and beg to Allah for forgiveness, our sins will not be forgiven. Not asking Allah for forgiveness, means that the sinner is still arrogant even if he decides not committing the sin again, but as he has already committed the sin, he must seek and beg to Allah (SWT) for forgiveness.

God has promised in Quran 3:97 that anyone who comes to the Kaba will be safe. Why then, during this crisis, has the Muslim world shut it down? Shouldn't Muslims be visiting it even more based on promise in this verse?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Those who shut down the Masjid Al-Haraam during the Covid 19 crisis were not the real religious leadership of the Muslim world but just officers in a government and they are responsible about their acts. They never represent the Islamic jurisprudence.
