Ibn Qayyim al Jawziyyah
Man
always looks for what benefits him and what protects him from harm. However, to
accomplish this, man must be able to realize what is harmful. He must then know
whom he should need, trust, and love so that he can attain what is beneficial
as well as to feel good about his choice. He also must know the proper and good
approach that would make him achieve this goal. This latter condition requires
that man:
a)
Know about harm
b)
What ways can be used to drive harm away
Certainly,
man can have no better guidance than that which comes from the One Who had
perfected everything, and the One who Has no deficiency in Himself and in His
Attributes. The One Who is Ever-Living and Who does not die. There can be no
One better than the One Who Has no need for anything; the One Who is rich; the
Giver; the One who, after all, controls man's soul. Man is so poor to Him. He
is Allah, the True and only God. Man can bring harm to himself if he seeks
other than Allah for help. Allah is the One Who can help man drive away any
harm for it cannot occur without His Will and His Power.
Allah
(SW) sent down His Books and chose His Messengers to guide man to:
a)
Know His Lord as He (SW) had explained about Himself, and
b)
Seek Him Alone while living in accordance with His plan
