This is the second and concluding part of the explanation of this very important hadith 

taught by Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq

Whoever Allah Wishes Good For

Whoever Allah Wishes Good For – Part 2

The Book of Servitude is one of Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn-Taymiyyah’s (rahimahullah) great and excellent works. A small treatise but very profound and beneficial. Shaykhul-Islaam was asked to elaborate on the following four questions:

- What is Ibadah (worship) and what are its branches?
- Is the whole of the Deen embodied within it?
- What is the reality of ‘uboodiyyah (servitude)?
- Is it the highest station in this world and in the Hereafter, or are there other stations above it?

His reply is contained within this treatise.
