Iqtida as-Sirat al-Mustaqim

اقتضاء الصراط المستقيم

A treatise on the obligation to follow the straight path and avoid imitating non-Muslims in their religious practices and customs. Ibn Taymiyyah discusses the principles of Islamic distinctiveness (mukhalafah), the evidence from the Quran and Sunnah, and the scholarly consensus on maintaining the unique identity of the Muslim community. The work addresses festivals, customs, dress, and other areas where external influence had crept into Muslim practice.
