Ibn al Qayyim: Three means by which one may draw close to Allāh.

The three means by which a person can reach Allāh

Ibn al Qayyim, may Allāh have mercy on him said,
The closest means to reach Allāh by are: Adhering to the sunnah and standing by it outwardly and inwardly, and being in continuous need of Allāh, and intending His face alone in speech and actions.
And no one has reached Allāh except by way of these three.
And no one has cut off from Him except by cutting himself off
from them or one of them.
