Question 5: How is it to say the prayer ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Change our sins to virtues!’?
Answer: It is allowed. Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ said in the Glorious Quran:
اِلَّا مَنْ تَابَ وَ اٰمَنَ وَ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ یُبَدِّلُ اللّٰهُ سَیِّاٰتِهِمْ حَسَنٰتٍؕ-
Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: The one who repents and believes and does good deeds, so Allah will change their evil deeds into virtues. (Part 19, Surah Al-Furqan, Ayah 70)
It is stated in Tafseer Siraat-ul-Jinaan: Commentators of Quran have stated different meanings of this conversion of evil deeds into virtues. One of the meanings is that the sins committed in the state of Islam by those who have the attributes mentioned in the Ayah, will be changed by Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ into virtues on the Day of Judgement. (Siraat-ul-Jinaan, vol. 7, pp. 61; summarized)

Question 6: [Some Urdu-speaking] children use the Urdu words “Chanda Mamoo” for moon. Is it allowed?
Answer: It is allowed and there is no harm in it by Shari’ah. Some Urdu-speaking people also call a fool “Mamoo” or when they fool anyone, they say ‘I have made him Mamoo’. Remember! It is not allowed by Shari’ah to call any Muslim a fool.

What to recite when seeing something good?
Question 7: What should be recited when something looks good?
Answer: When anything looked good to the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, so he would recite ‘لَـبَّیْکَ اِنَّ الْعَیْشَ عَیْشُ الْاٰخِرَۃِ’ i.e. Labbayk, indeed the afterlife is [actually] the life. (Musnad Imam Shaafi’i, pp. 122) Similarly, if you like something, whether it is your own or that of anyone else and you recite ‘مَا شَآءَ اللّٰہ’ or ‘بَارَکَ اللہ’, so it will remain safe from the evil eye, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ. (Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 6, pp. 244)
