Question:
Benefits from the explanation of the book *Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim li-Mukhalafat Ahl al-Jahim* by Ibn Taymiyyah. Honorable Shaykh, the linguists say that the path is not called "straight" unless it is broad. Is there in the description of this path as "straight" a persuasion for the followers and others that it is broad enough for them, and that they have no need for anything other than it?
Answer:
Without a doubt, the straight path is sufficient in place of others, and it is broad enough for the entire Ummah, from its first to its last. The straight path did not become narrow to the point where they would seek other paths. Islam, praise be to Allah, is broad and comprehensive, and its rulings are sufficient for what humans need in matters of belief, worship, transactions, morals, and news of the past and the future. Praise be to Allah. It is abundant. Yes.
