“You Alone We Worship And You Alone We Ask For Help” | Imaam ibn-ul Qayyim (Rahimahullah)
Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [rahimahullaah] said: “
I used to hear Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [rahimahullaah)] often saying:
[إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ] – “You alone we worship” repels Riyaa
[ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ] – “And you alone we ask for help” repels Pride.”
