| This is an image I made some time ago with caligraphy and PSP the computer graphic software. It reads "Allah is the Greatest" in Arabic. |
The
perfection of Tawheed is found when there remains nothing in the heart except
Allaah, the servant is left loving those He loves and What He loves, hating
those He hates and what He hates, showing allegiance to those He has allegiance
to, showing enmity towards those He shows enmity towards, ordering what He
orders and prohibiting what He prohibits.
(Ibn al-Qayyim, al-Madaarij
3/485)
----------------------------
This saying of Ibn Al Qayyim, is something I try and relect on all the time. I am not sure of the Arabic, but from the transliteration, I can only assume that one would have to go through a lot of hardship to attain this level of emaan. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever read. Brought tears to my eyes actually. I would dare to say that you would have to study Tawheed in order to perfect it. A person can not obtain something through ignorance of that thing. Wallahu Alim. Alhamdulillah, may Allah grant all the believers this level of emaan, ameen.
