Only Allāh Deserves To Be Worshipped

 

Imām ‘Abd al-Raḥmān ibn Nāṣir al-Sa’dī said:

“If He alone is the Creator, Inventor of all things, and Bestower of forms, possessing no partner in any of these actions, then He is the only  deity worshipped in truth. There is none  besides Him deserving of any form of worship. For He is the creator of the essences, actions and attributes of His creation. He guides  whom He wills and sends astray whom He wills. He allows the believer to believe and the disbeliever to disbelieve, without forcing or compelling His servants to engage in that which is undesirable to them."

Do You Want To Enjoy Your Life?

 

Shaykh Aḥmad bn Yaḥyá an-Najmī –may Allāh  have mercy on him- said:

“The man’s condition is not  perfected and he does not enjoy life (fully), except by (getting married to) a righteous wife. And a woman  is not tranquil and she does not enjoy  life (fully), except by (getting married to) a righteous husband.”

Ta’sīs al-Aḥkām (4/172)

How can we prefer the fading over the everlasting?!

 

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymīn رحمه الله said:

…how can we prefer the fading over the everlasting?! By Allāh, that’s ignorance from us and heedlessness. How can we value this life over the next even though we see it disappear without returning – so if we do not take the opportunity to fill our lives with righteous actions, we will lose out on this life and the next.

The Salaf and their fear of Allaah

 ..... 

Imām Aḥmad Ibn Naṣr Al-Marwazi reported in Kitāb Aṣ-Ṣalāh (the Book of Prayer) that Abū Al-ʿĀliyah said, “The Prophet’s Companions used to think that no sin would harm a person who says ‘Lā ilāha illāllāh,’ just as no good deed would benefit a person who joins partners with Allāh. So Allāh  revealed,

Obey Allāh and obey the Messenger and do not invalidate your deeds.

This made them fear that some sins could nullify their deeds.”*

*Aṣ-Ṣalāh by Al-Marwazi 2:645.
