Sheikh-Ul-Islam Ibn Tahmiyyah, may Allah sanctify his soul, was asked about the saying of the prophet (pbuh), The invocation of my brother Yunus, ''none has the right to be worshipped save You; glory be to You, far removed are You from any imperfection; I have been amongst the wrong-doers, ''none who is experiencing difficulty employs it except that Allah would relieve him of his difficulty. What is the meaning of this du'a (prayer, supplication)? Are their any unstead conditions that have to be met when one articulates it.? What is the connection between belief in the heart and the meaning of this supplication such that it leads to the removal of difficulty? Why did he explicitly confess, I have been amonst the wrong-doers' when it is known that tawhid in itself leads to the removal of difficulty? The author replies to these questions in the form of this book. Some of the major tribulations of human existence are the consequences of committing sins and spreading evil into the world. According to the moral scale of Islam, it is known that man is imperfect and fallible and prone to committing sins. This is part of his innate weak nature as a finite limited creature. However, it is a sin if he has the ways and means to attain relative moral perfection and deliberately chooses not to seek it.
