Ibn ul-Qayyim (رحمه اللّه) said:
“The heart’s safety and soundness cannot be perfected, absolutely, until it is secure from five things:

- From bid’ā (innovation) which opposes the Sunnah
An inscription bearing the name of Sayyiduna ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb (رضي الله عنه) has been discovered in Medina. It reads:
“Allah is the friend of ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb in this world and in the Hereafter.
There is no god but Allah.”
