Ibn Kathir says: "The Mu'min are a people who have been prevented through the Qur'an from indulging in the pleasures of this world; it comes between them and what might destroy them. The Mu'min is like a prisoner in this world, who tries to free himself from its shackles and chains, placing his trust in nothing in it, until the day he meets his Creator. He knows full well that he is accountable for everything that he hears, sees and says, and for everything that he does with his body." (Al-Bidayah wa al-Nihayah, vol. 9 pg. 276)

About Me:
As Salaamu Alaikum My name is Salim Saafir, I am a muslim. My methodology is Qur'an and Sunnah. Insha'Allah I follow the way of the salaf. I am in to learning this wounderful deen of Islam. It is a must upon every muslim Shaykh al-islam Ibn Taymiyyah Minhaj al-Sunnah, 5/262-263 "It is a must upon every muslim, who testifies that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and that Muhammad salalahu alayhi wasalam is the Messenger of Allah, that his basic intention be to single out Allah in his worship of Him alone, without any partner and to obey His Messenger. He is to remain upon this, following it whever he finds it, and he should know that the best of creation after the prophets are the companions. He should not therefore, offer absolute and unrestricted allegiance to any one person except the Messenger of Allah salalahu alayhi wa salam. Nor should he offer absolute unrestricted allegiance to any one group except the companions; as the guidance remains with the Messenger salalahu alayhi wa salam, wherever he remains, and it remains with his companions and no one else's companions, whever they remain. If they are in agreement, they never agree u pon something incorrect, in contrast to the companions of a particular scholar, they could agree upon something incorrect. In fact, everything that they (ie the companions of a particular scholar) have asserted to which none other from amognst this ummah has asserted, can be nothing but incorrect, since the religion that Allah has sent His messenger salalahu alayhi wa salam with is not conferred to any single scholar and his companions. If this was so, that person should be an equal to the Messenger of Allah salalahu alayhi wa salam and this is simlar to the belief ot the Rafidah regarding the 'Infallible Imam'. Morever, it is a must that the companions and their successors were aware of that truth with which Allah had sent His messenger salalahu alayhi wa salam, well before the presence of those who are followed; those whom the madhhabs are attributed to, in relation to both fundamentals and subsidiary matters. It is impossible for them to bring about a truth, which opposes what the Messenger salalahu alayhi wa salam brought, as everything that opposes the Messenger salalahu alayhiwa salam is falsehood. It is also impossible for them to know of something emanating from the Messenger salalahu alayhi wa salam which opposes (the knowledge and understanding of) the companions and their successors in righteousness, as they (ie the companions) did not unite upon any deviation. So his (ie a followed imam's) saying, if true has to be taken from that which the Messenger salalahu alayhi wa salam brought and present with someone before him. Every statement in the religion of Islam which lies in opposition to that which the companions and their successors in righteousness were upon, which none of them have asserted, but rather have said other than it, it is indeed a false saying."

Allaah has also given the Qur’an many descriptions in His verses and amongst them are: Noor (Light), Huda (Guidance), Mau’idhah (Admonition), Shifaa’ (Healing), Rahmah (Mercy), Mubaarak (Blessing), Mubeen (Clear, Manifest), Bushraa (Good Tidings), Azeez (Mighty), Majeed (Glorious), Basheer (Bringer of Glad Tidings), Nadheer (Warner), Kareem (Noble), Ahsanul-Hadeeth (the Best of Speech) Allaah the Exalted said, in describing His Book: Allaah has sent down the most beautiful of speech, a Book, (parts of it) resembling (others) oft-repeated. The skins of those who fear their Lord shiver from it. Then their skins and their hearts soften to the remembrance of Allaah (Zumar 39:23) Originally from: Kaifa Nafhamul-Qur'aan of Jameel Zainoo, with slight modification.
