FOREWORD
Verily, all praise is due to God, Allah the Almighty. We praise Him and
seek His help and forgiveness. And we seek refuge in Allah from the evils of
our own selves and from our bad deeds. Whosoever has been guided by
Allah, none can misguide him. And whosoever has been misguided, none can
guide him. We bear witness that there is no deity but Allah, being alone,
without partner or associate. And we further bear witness that Muhammad
is His bondsman and messenger.
