Walāʾ (Allegiance) and Barāʾ (Disallegiance) for the Uṣūl

Shaykh Abū ʿIyāḍ

An introductory ʿAqīdah lesson on al-Wʿaláʾ wa-al-Barāʾ الولاء والبرااء (Allegiance and Disallegiance), discussing what Allāh and His Messenger (ﷺ) love (الحب) and are pleased with, and that which Allāh and his Messenger (ṣalllAllāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) hate (البغض) and are displeased with. Loving and hating for the sake of Allāh being from the strongest handholds of Islām and deficiency in this is from the signs of weak īmān.
