Methodology

Advocating the sincere worship of Allah ﷻ - the one true God; without association of any partners with Him - لا إله إلا الله. Usman's methodology for understanding Islam as a complete way of life and submission to Allah is based on the Book of Allah (Al-Qur'an) and the Authentic Sunnah of His Final Messenger and Prophet; Abū al-Qāsim Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib ibn Hāshim al-Qurashi ﷺ in accordance with the ṣaḥābah (companions). He strives to adhere to the Prophetic tradition and takes the middle path in all affairs whilst avoiding all forms of extremism and innovations. He focuses on coming closer to Allah ﷻ through the Beautiful Names and Lofty Attributes of our Lord.
