Allah’s Guardianship for Those Who Are Content with Performing the Obligatory Acts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Is the one who is content with performing the obligatory acts considered among the awliya (close friends of Allah)?
The Shaykh:
That he is content.
The questioner:
with performing the obligatory acts.
The Shaykh:
As previously mentioned to you, the believers are in three categories: among them is the one who wrongs himself, the one who is moderate, and the one who hastens toward good deeds. This one who is moderate is the one who limits himself to performing the obligatory acts and avoiding the forbidden; he limits himself to performing the duties and avoiding the forbidden. Yes, he is higher in rank than the one who wrongs himself, who has fallen into some of the major sins that are less than shirk (associating partners with Allah). This one is the one who wrongs himself. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
