Insha'Allah the focus of this article
will be on the similarities in the
teaching of Tawheed and the
believer reaching the Degree of the
free, as taught to us by our sixth
Imam, Imam Ja'far Al Sadiq (a.s),
and from Sayyid Ahmad Al-Hassan
al-Yamani (a.s).

comparisons and insha'Allah they
will be of great benefit to those who
are seeking to destroy the “I”
within, and to reach closeness to
Allah (swt), for those who want to
exist in only what Allah (swt) wants
for them. This is not an easy journey
and it is one that many of us are
moving through right now, and it
has shown us that we are shortcoming on a scale we cannot
understand, and defeating this great
idol is a difficult and complex
matter. However... Allah (swt) has
given us a great blessing in guiding
us to Imam Ahmad al-Hassan (a.s),
and we would not have been
guided without the extreme Mercy
of Allah (swt), and the Blessings of
resources in this age, and good
company. May Allah (s
