The subject matter of this work is of paramount importance and utmost interest for two major reasons: Firstly, it is concerned with one of Islam's main foundations, namely the qualities of al-wala' wa'1-bara', which are two major prerequisites of true faith: al-wala' is a manifestation of sincere love for Allah, His prophets and the believers al-bara', on the other hand, is an expression of enmity and hatred towards falsehood and its adherents. It was originally submitted for a Masters Degree at the Department of Aqeedah Umm al Qorah University in Makkah.
