"of guidance. If you need details on zakat, pilgrimage, or more elaboration on salah and fasting, refer to what we have outlined in our book, Ihya Ulum Al-Deen. Part 2. Avoidance of Sin. Prelude. Know that the religion has two parts. One involves leaving prohibitions, and the other involves performing acts of worship. Refraining from forbidden acts is the more challenging, for acts of worship can be performed by anyone, but only the truthful can abandon desires."
