This Muslim scholar’s sense of humor is ON POINT
Shaykh Azhar Nasser lives and works in Canada and according to this twitter bio he’s a lecturer and also a religious adviser. Being a man of his stature and knowledge, he obviously gets a LOT of questions on Islam and what to do and what not to.
It’s not clear why, but Shaykh Azhar started tweeting out some of the most regular questions he gets, followed by what can only be assumed to be the answer his inner voice gives:
Right off the bat, he’s savage
Sheikh, how was my Quranic recitation?
Aside from proper pronunciation it was great.

The man cannot control the results of an istakhara

Sheikh, why are the domes of the shrines of the Imams gold when people are starving?

Think twice before inviting this Sheikh over for a talk
Sheikh, can you speak for exactly 45 min as our program ends sharply at 8:52pm?
So when was this khoja center established.

*Snaps all around*
Sheikh, can I have your email in case I have questions?
No, because it will never end.

The man likes cleanliness (and water not being wasted too)
My respected brothers and sisters,

WHAT. A. BURN

The Shaykh is very well connected with his people
Sheikh, Can you do a istikhara for me?
Absolutely, I love doing istikhara's at 3am about someone your parents don't want you to marry
— Shaykh Azhar Nasser (@ShaykhAzhar) November 3, 2017
He knows us really well too
Sheikh, is it haram for a Sayida to marry a non-Sayid?
I'm assuming you're from Pakistan. Total guess

Shaykh Azhar doesn’t like his number making the rounds
Sheikh, is it haram to celebrate halloween?
First of all, who gave you my number.

And lastly…
Sheikh, how can I train to wake up for Fajr prayer?
Not watching Netflix until 3am would definitely improve your situation.

He may be a Sheikh but he sure knows how to make people laugh. Religion is often thought of as something so very serious that there is no room to joke about, but it seems that this one Sheikh is determined to change that narrative. More power, twitter followers, likes and retweets for you sir!
