The three fundamental principles of Islam and their proofs | werkboek

Shaikhul-Islam Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab

Imam Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah (died 752H) stated: The two feet of a person who stands before Allah on the Day of Resurrection will not move until he is asked regarding two matters: 'What was it that you worshipped? And what was your response to the Messengers?’ The answer to the first question is by actualization of the words, none has the right to be worshiped except Allah‘ with knowledge, affirmation and action. The answer to the second question is by actualization of the words, ‘Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah‘ with knowledge, affirmation, submission and obedience.” From these words it becomes clear the tremendous importance of the treatise before us whose subject matter is: is to single out Allah alone in His Lordship and worship, and the tremendous importance and station of the Messenger Muhammad (May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and that his is the example to be followed. The great scholar, Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab (died 1206H) compiled this treatise in a manner that is easy to understand and memorise, each point being coupled with a proof.
