Introduction to the series (1)

* This series is dedicated to the sole theme of a very important fact in Islam, it is the more we know about Allah (S.W.T) the more we know about The Creator of this wonderful universe the more we tend to love Him, the more dedication we have in our lives, and every aspect of our lives tends to change, that’s the secret of the series and this is one of the most important secrets of Islam.

* Allah said in The Qur’an: {And I (Allah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone).} [Adh-Dhariyat 51:56],

{وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ} الذاريات: 56

Transliteration: Wama khalaqtu aljinna waalinsa illaliyaAAbudooni

so Allah created us to worship Him.

Ibn Abbas (May Allah Be Pleased With Him) said: “To worship me means to get to know me”

* What is the secret behind knowledge about Allah (S.W.T)?

Ibn Al-Qayyim himself one day said: “There is one shortcut that leads to Allah (S.W.T) and the highest ranks in Paradise, this way is very safe, there is no obstacles in it, there is no blocks on it, it is straightforward and it is the shortest way to Allah (S.W.T) but most people are oblivious about it, most people haven’t even heard about it, this way is knowledge of Names and Attributes of Allah (S.W.T) and worshipping Allah (S.W.T) through the themes and the indications of His Names and Attributes, this is what we will try to share with you in this series, we will try to highlight the fruits of getting to know Allah (S.W.T), getting to know His Names and His Attributes, then we will start to mention certain Names and Attributes of Allah (S.W.T), and see how they impact our heart, how they impact our character, and how they impact our whole being, and how they impact even the social aspects of our life, how they impact our behavior and how we can reach ultimate and true happiness in this world and Insha’Allah in The Next.
