Extract from the Introduction
A work to help answer a common question of our time :
''Has the Muslim Ummah concerned itself so much with the
Prophets and Saints (Awliya-Allah) in the last few centuries
that many are now unknowingly taking them as partners to
Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, ? ''
To answer this, we have to first know the difference between worshipping Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, alone and worshipping others besides Him. Where and when do Muslims have to stop in their praise of anyone besides Allah, subhanahu wa ta'ala, before they begin making partners with Him ? The misunderstanding of this concept is the reason why there's so much confusion within the Ummah. This is a critical difference between the qualities of Allah Almighty and those of ours that need to be understood.
The Prophet's, peace be upon them, generally presented themselves as ordinary men so that we may know how to live our lives in the correct manner. If they simply acted on their knowledge without explaining anything (the way Hadrat Khidr, alayhi as-salam, did with Hadrat Musa, alayhi as-salam) what would we have learnt?
Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, proved in his perpetual fasting that he did not need to eat in order to survive. Instead of him explaining to us the etiquettes of eating, by his simple yet graceful manner he provided a detailed visual example for us to follow.
