Description from the publisher:
Introduction:
Al-Walaa means loyalty and Al-Baraa means disownment. In the context of Islaam al- walaa is loyalty to Allah and whatever He is pleased with as well as friendship and closeness to the believers. Al-Baraa is freeing oneself from that which is displeasing to Allah and dis owning the disbelievers.
Shaikul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah in his book ôAl-æUboodiyyahö has described the signs that Allah Almighty has established for people who love Him as two: (a) Following the Messenger (SAW) (ittibaaÆ ar-Rasool) and (b) striving in the path of Allah (al-Jihad fee sabeelillaah). He explained the latter sign by saying, ôThis is because the reality of al-Jihad is striving to accomplish that which Allah loves of al-Eemaan and righteous deeds, and the repulsion of that whichAllah hates of al-Kufr, al-Fusooq (to rebel against Allah) and disobedience. He subsequently said, ôThe reality of loving someone is never comple except by having loyalty to the beloved one, that is, to comply with him by loving what he loves and hating what he hates. For Allah loves al-Eemaan and at-Taqwah, and He hates al-Kufr, al-Fusooq, and disobedience.
Many of us now-a-days behave in ways that often show the weak and confused nature of our love and hate towards the adherents of Islam and false religions. We should know that both the requirement and the concept of al-walaa and al-baraa stems from the shahaadah (testification that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and that Muhammad (SAW) is His Messenger). It is a matter of faith and thus fundamental importance.
To help the English speaking MuslimsÆ growing awareness of Islam and to stimulate further study, this little work by one of the scholars of the Ahlus-Sunnah wal-JamaÆah of our time is hence presented as a concise pointer in the right direction for the seeker of knowledge and true worship of Allah.
I ask Allah to unite the hearts of the Muslims in His correct worship and beliefs and to make our feet firm upon the path of Muhammad (SAW). May Allah accept this humble contribution from us and give us its full benefit, and bless and protect all the scholars and increase their likes amongst us, amen.
