Subject: Re: obligations to a family who adopted you.... Author: Moustafa morsy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:15:58 09/10/02 Tue Author Host/IP: mt.24.171.69.29.charter-stl.com/24.171.69.29 In reply to: Salma 's message, "obligations to a family who adopted you...." on 20:53:12 09/09/02 Mon Assalaam Alikom. You have to thank Allah that He guided you to the Islam ,to worship Him alone,Alhamdlilla. Many people they say (fatwa) or answer questions about islam without knowledge which is not right and it is a big sin too,Allah says in the Quran (what it means): Say (O Muhammad SAW): "(But) the things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are Al­Fawâhish (great evil sins, every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly, sins (of all kinds), unrighteous oppression, joining partners (in worship) with Allâh for which He has given no authority, and saying things about Allâh of which you have no knowledge." . About your first question ,the answer is in theQuran ,where Allah (S W T ) says(the meaning): Call them (adopted sons) by (the names of) their fathers, that is more just with Allâh. But if you know not their father's (names, call them) your brothers in faith and Mawâlîkum (your freed slaves). And there is no sin on you if you make a mistake therein, except in regard to what your hearts deliberately intend. And Allâh is Ever OftForgiving, Most Merciful.33/5. So, if you know your real father ,you should carry his name, but if you do not know ,then do not take a name of a certain person even for the one who adopted you ,as example you can take the name of (Abd Allah) as your fatrer,s name which it means the servent of Allah,because all men can be named by Abd Allah (servent of Allah),then your name could be : Salmaa Abd Allah,where AbdAllah is a not certain person, but your intention that Abdallah is your real father ,If it is not easy to find your real family then,it is not obligatory for you to search for them,Allah sayas (what it means):): Allâh burdens not a person beyond his scope .2/186. No,you do not have any obligations to maintain ties with them or anything like that,especially if they are not happy with you Islam and they are hurting you because of that. Allah Knows best.
