5. THE CONCISE LEGACY

In answer to the question of abu’l-qasim al-maghribl: this is a request to the Shaykh and Imam, the remainder of the pious predecessors (salaj), the fine example (qudwa) for those that came after, and the most knowledgeable man I have met in all of the East and the West, TaqI al-Din Ahmad Ibn Taymiyyah.

It is my request that he grant me advice for rectifying my religious and worldly life, and that he direct me to a book on the science of hadith and other Islamic sciences upon which I can rely. I would like him to tell me about the best deeds of righteousness after the obligatory actions and to clarify the best ways of earning (the acceptance of Allah).

I seek a brief reply and a reference to what is right, may Allah, Most High, grant him protection. Abundant peace and the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon him.

The answer:

All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

By Shaykhu’l-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah
