INTRODUCTION
Indeed all praises belong to Allah. We praise Him;
we seek His assistance, we seek His forgiveness, and
we seek refuge with Allah from the wickedness of
ourselves and our evil deeds. Whomever Allah
guides no one can mislead him, and whoever has
been led astray no one can guide him. I testify that
none has the right to be worshiped, in truth, except
Allah alone who has no partners; and I testify that
Muhammad is His servant and Messenger.
