Question:
Benefits of the explanation of the book *Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim li-Mukhalafat Ahl al-Jahim* by Ibn Taymiyyah. If the Shaykh—may Allah grant you success—chose this title, it is because the Straight Path demands opposition, so that the Muslim remembers whenever he encounters something resembling the deeds of those against whom anger was invoked or those who went astray, such as the Jews or the Christians or the people of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, or the religious innovations (bid'ah) that have been introduced into the religion, that adhering to the Straight Path directly requires opposing them in everything.
Answer:
In matters of religion? Yes, in matters of religion, without a doubt. This is because we oppose them and remain upon our religion. Their religion is not free from one of two things: either it is distorted, altered, and changed, or it has been abrogated by our religion. It has been abrogated by our religion. We do not take anything from the religion of the Jews and Christians; rather, we take our religion because it abrogates what came before it. We have no need to take from their religions, or from their acts of worship, or from their actions. Yes.
