About this ebook
If I had to swear standing between the corner of the Ka'bah and the spot of Ibrahim, I would swear that I have not laid my two eyes on anyone like him, nor has he seen anyone as knowledgeable as himself.

In the name of Allah,
The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
Indeed, all praise is due to Allāh, Lord of the worlds. We praise Him, seek refuge with Him, and seek His Forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allāh from the evils of our souls (nafs), and the mistakes in our actions. Whoever Allāh Guides, there is none who can misguide him, and whoever Allāh misguides, there is none who can guide him. And I testify that there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allāh, and I testify that Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is his servant and Last Messenger.
O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him]. [3:102]
3:102O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer. [4:1]
4:1O you who have believed, fear Allah and speak words of appropriate justice. [33:70]
33:70He will [then] amend for you your deeds and forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly attained a great attainment. [33:71]
33:71Indeed, the most truthful of speech is the Speech of Allāh, and the best guidance is the guidance of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. The worst of affairs are those that are newly introduced, and every newly introduced affair is an innovation, and every innovation is a misguidance, and every misguidance leads to the Fire. Kind speech and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury. And Allah is Free of need and Forbearing. [2:263]
2:263As for what follows: Allāh sent Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, with the pure, easy religion and the comprehensive, inclusive Sharī’ah that brings the human being to the level of perfection, and brings him to the Pleasure of Allāh, and raises his status.
Verily, We have sent you (O Muhammad Peace be upon him) with the truth (Islam), a bringer of glad tidings (for those who believe in what you brought, that they will enter Paradise) and a warner (for those who disbelieve in what you brought, they will enter the Hell-fire). And you will not be asked about the dwellers of the blazing Fire. [2:119]
2:119And with the help of Allāh, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, sought to lead his nation to Paradise, the abode of peace and security. So, he spent nearly 23 years calling to the message of Islām that Allāh had tasked him with. He faced the horrors he faced for the sake of relaying his message –
