Chapter Three

اعلم أرشدك الله لطاعته

Know, may Allah direct you to obedience to Him,

أن الحنيفية ملة إبراهيم

that alhaneefiyah - milet ibrahim

*The wisdom behind the order from Allah subhanu Watala to follow the alhaneefiyah - milet Ibrahim, Alyhi alsama and not any other Messenger even though they all shared the pure Tawheed.

*a) The reason why the author mentioned Ibraheem without mentioning (Alyhi Alsalam)

b) The etiquette of fully writing (Sallah Allahu Alieh Wasalam) without abbreviating or shortening as stated by the Ulama of hadith ans saying it as you write and hear it.

c) The ruling on saying (Sallah Allahu Alyhi Wasalam) when the Prophet's name is mentioned or written {(Sallah Allahu Alyhi Wasalam)}.

*the next phrase is

أن تعبد الله وحده،

is that you worship Allah alone

a) Definition of Ibadah/worship

b) The wisdom behind Allah Subhanu Watala ordering us to worship him even though he is independent of us and does not need us or our worship.

-Allah Subhanu Watala is not harmed by our sins nor does he benefit by our deeds.

-Universal submission to Allah Subhanu Watala vs. the Special submission to Allah Subhanu Watala

-Worship of Allah Subhanu Watala is his right over us

-From among the biggest mercies of Allah Subhanu Watala is that he directed us to worship him because that's our benefit not his.
