Project for the English Translation of
Ibn Taimiyyah's Book:

Iqtidhaau As-Sirati Al-Mustaqeemi
li-Mukhalafati As`habi Al-Ja`heem

(The Straight Path Necessitates Defying People of the Hellfire)

Why this 13th century book is relevant for this 21st century

This Book lists numerous Quran & Sunnah details clarifying Islam’s path in contrast to all other paths; guides Muslims towards applying the Straight Path in any timeframe & wherever they may live; clarifies the Manhaj (way) of Islam in aspects of life and religion towards preserving the Muslim’s special identity.

-- SHAYKH JALAL ABUALRUB

Shaikh Al-Islam Ibn Taimiyyah

His books are strikingly relevant to our time, as if he is living with us today and observing the challenges Muslims face all around them. How can a book written in the 13th century be relevant for the 21st century?

The Straight Path Necessitates Defying People of the Hellfire

Support the translation of this very essential book to help eliminate widespread ignorance of the Qur'an and Sunnah and confront today's realities: prevalent bid’ah (religious innovations); non-Muslim groups living among Muslims fighting Islam & Muslims; military, economic & industrial irrelevance; dominance by kafir non-Muslim powers; imitating kafir societies in religion, dealings, culture, customs, clothes, and celebrations.
