The Taqua of Marriage

And when it is said to them: Come, the Messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for

you, they turn back their heads and you may see them turning away while they are

big with pride. (Q. 63: 005)

for them; Allah will never forgive them; surely Allah does not guide the

transgressing people. (Q. 63: 006)

Abu Haneefah (d. 150H) (rahimahullaah) said:

"Adhere to the athar (narration) and the tareeqah (way) of the Salaf (Pious
Predecessors) and beware of newly invented matters for all of it is innovation"

Shaykhul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said:

"This is why those who are in authority are of two groups: the scholars and the rulers.
If they are upright, the people will be upright; if they are corrupt, the people will be
corrupt."
