Require the Straight Path اقتضاء الصراط المستقيم-Islamic Refutation of Innovations

Require the Straight Path (اقتضاء الصراط المستقيم) is an important classical Islamic work published by Dar Al-Kotob Al-Ilmiyah that thoroughly discusses the obligation upon Muslims to oppose and avoid the practices and beliefs of disbelievers, innovators (ahl al-bida‘), and deviationists. The book begins by emphasizing the necessity of differentiating true guidance from falsehood and opposing those who follow corrupted religious systems. It then systematically analyzes various innovations (bida‘) and heretical beliefs, exposing their origins, underlying errors, and providing detailed refutations grounded in the Qur’an and Sunnah. This edition is a carefully authenticated printing, making it an invaluable resource for students of Islamic creed (aqeedah), scholars, and serious readers who seek to reaffirm their understanding of the straight path (Sirat al-Mustaqim) and uphold authentic teachings in belief, worship, and conduct.

From Author:

This work is attributed to classical scholars focused on Islamic creed and manhaj who aimed to defend correct belief and practice against deviations and innovations. The author presents evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah to demonstrate why following the straight path — the guidance revealed by Allah — is obligatory and how various innovations contradict that guidance.
