If only our brothers would turn to the Book of Allah and the traditions of His Prophet (s) with a scrutinizing, unbiased view, they would find in them clear and explicit evidence, leaving no room for doubt or ambiguity. However, some among them, may Allah forgive them, might accuse those who seek means of nearness to Allah of worshipping the very means or label their act as an innovation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe present before you a concise discussion on these two principles: 1- The Oneness of Worship (\u003ci\u003eal-Tawḥīd fī al-ʿIbāda\u003c\/i\u003e), 2- The Prohibition of Innovation. This is to make the reader understand that one who seeks means-whether material or spiritual-believes in these two fundamental principles with the utmost faith. With this faith and adherence, they seek means that are sanctioned in divine Islamic law. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe implore Allah to unite our speech, as He has bestowed upon us the unity found in the concept of monotheism. Indeed, He is Capable of all things and Worthy of answering prayers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Household Publications,Ja 'Far Subḥānī\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798322563754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Household Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48066494005503,"sku":"9798322563754","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a02b9ec7-5a30-4e32-bf8c-93f9d18368ef.jpg?v=1768678794","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seeking-means-to-gain-nearness-household-publications-9798322563754","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
