About this work

كتاب يبحث في التمييز بين أولياء الله وأولياء الشيطان، مستندًا إلى الأدلة من الكتاب والسنة. يوضح صفات أولياء الله المتقين المؤمنين، ويفرق بينهم وبين من يدعون الولاية وهم من جنس الكهان والسحرة أو المنافقين. يتناول الكتاب موضوعات الإيمان والتقوى، والحب في الله والبغض فيه، وبيان أن ولاية الله لا تكون إلا بالإيمان والعمل الصالح، وأنه لا طريق إلى الله غير الإسلام.

Translation

A book that examines the distinction between God’s friends and Satan’s friends, based on evidence from the Qur’an and Sunnah. It explains the characteristics of God’s faithful, pious saints, and differentiates between them and those who claim guardianship and are of the kind of soothsayers, sorcerers, or hypocrites. The book deals with the topics of faith and piety, love for God and hatred for Him, and a statement that God’s guardianship is only through faith and good deeds, and that there is no path to God other than Islam.
