Introduction

All thanks and praises are due to Allah, Whom we
thank and seek for help and forgiveness. Whomsoever
Allah guides will never be misled, and whomsoever He
misguides will never find guidance. I testify that none has
the right to be worshipped except Allah, Alone without
partners, and that Muhammad is Allah‘s slave and
Messenger.
