Volume One

Ibn al-Qayyim · Madārij al-Sālikīn

1. "It is شِرْك in itself before and after the prohibition. So whoever says that immorality, abominations, and sins only became such after the prohibition is like one who says that شِرْك only became شِرْك after the prohibition, and was not شِرْك before that."

2. "Then He said: "Say, 'My Lord has only forbidden immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed.'" If their being immoralities was only due to their prohibition, and they were not immoralities before that, then the essence of the statement would be: "Say, 'My Lord has only forbidden what He has forbidden.'" Similarly, the prohibition of sin and oppression, their being immorality, sin, and oppression is like the association of partners being شِرْك."

3. "Thus, it does not fulfill the purpose of repentance from this sin, which involves two rights: a right of اللّٰه, which is the prohibition of slander, and repentance from it through seeking forgiveness, acknowledging its prohibition, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it; and a right of the individual, which is the disgrace inflicted upon them, and repentance from it through denying the accusation."

Ibn al-Qayyim · Timeless Classics

1. "A section: God has a command upon the servant in every limb of his body, and upon him in it a prohibition, and in it He has a blessing, and through it the servant has benefit and pleasure.

   Source in al-Fawāʾid II →

   Source in al-Fawāʾid II →

3. "it is a prohibition of it by way of entailment, not by way of intent and demand. Likewise with the prohibition of a thing: what the prohibiter intends by the primary intention is desisting from what is forbidden, while one's being occupied"

Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din

   Source in The Lawful and the Unlawful →

2. "The rule varies when considering a single individual versus two individuals. For one person, the prohibition is definite, while for two, it becomes doubtful, as each is unsure about the prohibition concerning himself."

   Source in The Lawful and the Unlawful →

3. "Undoubtedly, approaching such wealth is far from piety, but determining if this constitutes transgression against righteousness is complex. In terms of transmission, no clear text condemns such actions, although narratives from the Companions and the Successors indicate abstention driven by piety rather than prohibition."

Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din

Book 1: The Book of Knowledge

Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din

Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din

Futūḥ al-Ghayb — Revelations of the Unseen

Shaykh Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani · Timeless Classics

1. "God Almighty said: "And We will surely test you until We make evident those who strive among you and the patient, and We will test your affairs." Surah Muhammad 47:31. If you stand firm with the truth through your faith and align with His actions through your certainty, all of this by His guidance and grace, then be forever patient, aligned, and submissive to Him. Let no event occur in you or others that departs from His command and prohibition."

   Source in Futūḥ al-Ghayb →

2. "In This Let the Competitors Compete When His prohibition comes, be as though your joints were slackened, your senses stilled, your heart stricken with grief, your capacity straitened, your body lifeless, your desire gone, your outward marks effaced, your very features wiped away, your traces forgotten, your annihilation darkened, your edifice torn down, your house empty, your roof caved in — no sensation and no trace."

   Source in Futūḥ al-Ghayb →

3. "so that you may be illumined by their light amid the darknesses of the decrees; hold fast to the command and the prohibition, travel by them upon the road to your Master, and surrender all else to the One who created you and brought you into being — do not disbelieve in the One who created you from dust and nurtured you, then from a drop, then fashioned you a man — so desire nothing but His command,"

Abu Bakr al-Siddiq

Ibn Kathir · Timeless Classics

1. "Abu al-As returned with it to them and gave back every man's property to its owner. Then he bore witness to the truth and emigrated to Medina. The Messenger of God, God's peace and blessings be upon him, restored Zaynab to him upon the first marriage. Between her separation from him and their reunion were six years, and this was two years after the prohibition of Muslim women to idolaters at the Umra of al-Hudaybiya."

al-Fawāʾid — Points of Benefit, Volume One

Ibn al-Qayyim · Timeless Classics

1. "The point is that his words, "Your judgment is ever executed upon me, Your decree concerning me is just," are a refutation of two parties: the Qadariyya, who deny the universality of God's decrees concerning His servant and exclude the acts of servants from being within His decree and destiny, reducing the decree to mere command and prohibition; and the Jabriyya,"

   Source in al-Fawāʾid →

2. "upon the justice by which He deals with them. He is upon a straight path in His speech, His action, His decree and His determining, in His command and His prohibition, His reward and His punishment. His every report is truth, His every decree is justice, all He commands is benefit, and all He forbids is corruption and harm."

Book 19: The Book of Commanding Good and Forbidding Evil

Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din

1. "so too scripture upholds matters opposed by the Hanafi, such as marriage without a guardian and neighbor's preemptive rights. Understand that issues divide into two categories: First, those in which it's conceivable that multiple interpretations can each be correct, concerning actions and their permissibility or prohibition."

Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din

1. "If he regrets and repents before completion, there are three opinions: One group says his prayer is not valid with the intention of ostentation, so he should start anew. Another group says he must repeat the actions, like bowing and prostration, but it's the actions that are invalidated, not the prohibition of prayer."
