Essai d'Ibn Taymiyyah sur la servitude

An enlightening book written by one of the most famous scholars of Islam on the important subject of servitude. In this book Shaykh Al-Islam defines the concept of worship in Islam and explains that to be a true “slave of Allah” is a status of both virtue and nobility. The author proves that the title “slave of Allah” is one of great honor which Allah bestowed on the best of creation, Muhammad (peace be on him). While elaborating on the issue of servitude, the author highlights the prevalent traps which people fall into, when becoming enslaved by, or allowing their hearts to become attached to worldly objects. The emphasis is on servitude to Allah which is adorned with the true love we hold for Him in our hearts – a matter of central importance for every Muslim.
