"O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord,Who created you from a single person
(Adam) and from him He created his wife, and from them both He created
manymen and women; and fear Allâh throughWhom you demand your
mutual (rights) and (do no cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship).
Surely, Allâh is ever an AllWatcher over you" ( Qur'ân 4:1).
"O ye who believe ! Keep your duty to Allâh and fear Him, and speak
(always) the truth, He will direct you to do righteous good deeds and will
forgive you your sins. And whosoever obeys Allâh and His Messenger, he
has indeed achieved a great success" (Qur'ân 33:70-71).
Know that the most truthful speech is that of Allâh's Book (the Qur'ân), and that the best of
guidance is that of Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam. The worst of evils are innovations
(foreign to the true teachings of Islâm), and every innovated matter (in religion) is a Bid'ah, and
every Bid'ah is a misguidance, and every mean of misguidance is in the Fire of Hell.
This is an introductory book for every Muslim. It is a summary of basic Islâmic beliefs and acts of
worship.We ask Allâh by His Names and Attributes to accept this work and make it a benefit for
those who read it and/or distribute it.
