Book ofEMAANACCORDING TO THE CLASSICAL WORKSOF SHAIKHUL-ISLAMIbn Taymiyah[d.728H rahimahullaah]byDr. Muhammad Naim YasinAl-Firdous Ltd, LondonAbout the BookAccordingly, the most noble knowledge a man can learnand teach to others is the basis of belief (emaan) and its requirements. The best precautionary measures he can protect himself with is the knowledge of the characteristics of disbelief (Kufr), its causes and exigencies. If man has insight into these two important things, he will know the way of his happiness and follow it, and avoid the way of his misery.In this book, we hope to elucidate the pillars of emaan and the characteristics of Kufr and its causes. Allah 3 is the One who guides us to truth. If we do right, it is only from Allah, the Truth. If we err, its only from ourselves and from Satan. We ask Allah to forgive us.الفردوسAL-FIRDOUSAl-Firdous Ltd.LondonISBN 1-8742636-5-5781874263654IntroductionTable of Contents6THE BASIS OF FAITHChapter 1Faith in Allah The Glorious and Exalted Types of Tawheed (Monotheism)1- The Tawheed of Lordship (Rububiyyah) 2- The Tawheed of Worship (Uluhiyyah)The Prerequisite For The Tawheed of Uluhiyyah3- The Tawheed of Names and AttributesThe basis of Tawheed of names and attributesTypes of Attributes14191919203323485 2284456The Evidence For The Tawheed Of Names And Attributes: 61Faith In The Angels73The Characteristics of Their Creation76Creatures of Light77The Ability of Metamorphosis78Honoured Servants80Their Relationship With The Universe and Mankind83Mankind is also Supervised by The Angels85Other Responsibilities86They Accompany Man Throughout His Life87Angels Encourage the Believers to Worship and Obey Allah89The Angels Encourage The Seekers of Knowledge92The Number of Angels96Belief In The Angels98The Effect of Belief in the Angels on the Life of a Believer107Chapter 3111Faith in the Prophets and Messengers1113ملےقَالَ أَهْبِطَا مِنْهَا جَمِيعًا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِي هُدًى فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ هُدَايَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقَىالله وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ بِهَا مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا۱۲۳) وحشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَىITL(Whoever follows My Guidance shall neither go astray, nor fall into distress and misery. But whoever turns away from My Reminder (That is, neither believes in this Qur'an nor acts on its orders) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection)2Nobody follows Allah's guidance except those who believe in Him, remember Him, feel His presence, attributes and His Greatness. Those who forget to remember Allah are misguided. Man is tried in this world by two things. Firstly, remembrance of Allah and following His guidance. Secondly, forgetting Him and going astray. Man is at a crossroads; facing a road of belief, guidance and happiness2Ta-Ha - Al-Aayataan 123-124.11
