What you must believe about your Creator - Kalamullah.Com

Allamah Ibnul-Qayyim (rahimahullah) writes in Nuniyyah:"Worship of Allah is utmost love for Him,along with the worshipper's submission,these are the two axis upon which the orbit of Ibadahrevolves.It does not revolve until the axis are established, andthat which causes it to turn is the command of theMessenger, not desires, soul or Shaytan.”Allamah Ibnul-Qayyim (rahimahullah) likened the revolution ofworship upon love and submission for the beloved (i.e. Allah) - to therevolution of a celestial body upon its axis. He mentioned that therevolution of worship is by the command of the Messenger and whathe has ordered - not desire or what the soul or the Shaytan orders himbecause such would not be worship. So the orders of the Messengerrevolves the orbit of worship - not innovations, desires or blindfollowingof the forefathers."[end quote from Aqeedah at-Tawheed]- 44 -
