Between Claim and Proof

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Shaikh Al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

What is not a proof cannot become a proof through the claim of the one who utilises it to say that it is a proof.v[1]

He said: It is not permissible that anything is taken to be obligatory or recommended (in the religion) except with a Shariah proof necessitating its obligation or recommendation. [2]

He also said: Anyone who follows the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, Allah will suffice, guide, aid and provide for him”. [3]
