The questioner : Did you ever say that *Ma'alim fi al-Tariq* is tawhid (the oneness of Allah) written in a modern style?
The Shaykh : I say that in this book there is a very valuable chapter; I think its title is "La ilaha illa Allah: A Way of Life." That is what I say, and I said it just now. And as they say about us in Syria, "He is not a scholar, but he has words in which there is light and knowledge, like a way of life." I believe that many of our Salafi brothers have not adopted the meaning of this title, "La ilaha illa Allah: A Way of Life." This is the talk we were having just now.

The Shaykh : May Allah guide him, may Allah guide him, my brother. What benefit is there in this book?
The questioner : I mean, he wants you to look into them. And in the book *His Beliefs and Thought*. These two books, of course, this meeting was brief, and the books were at home, so I was not... until the brothers came to me in the mosque and said to me, "The meeting is now withThe Shaykh : So the books are at home, but I gave a copy of everything to Shaykh Ali Hasan.
