0IntroductionIn <strong>the</strong> Name <strong>of</strong> Allah Most Merciful, Most B<strong>en</strong>efic<strong>en</strong>t in MercyAll praise is due to Allah, and may <strong>the</strong> peace and blessings <strong>of</strong> Allah be upon our leader, <strong>the</strong>Mess<strong>en</strong>ger <strong>of</strong> Allah, and upon all his family and upon his companions , To proceed :Know my Muslim bro<strong>the</strong>r and sister, may Allah be merciful upon you, that it is compulsoryupon us to know four things The first is knowledge, which is <strong>the</strong> knowledge <strong>of</strong> Allah, <strong>the</strong> Almighty and Majestic, <strong>the</strong>knowledge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Prophet, and <strong>the</strong> knowledge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> religion <strong>of</strong> Islam. It is not allowed to worshipAllah with ignorance since whoever does this is astrayThe second is action, since <strong>the</strong> person who has knowledge but does not implem<strong>en</strong>t it has evokedAllah's anger, as <strong>the</strong>y had knowledge but did not act accordingly. One <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> deceptive <strong>en</strong>ticem<strong>en</strong>ts<strong>of</strong> Satan is that he discourages people from gaining b<strong>en</strong>eficial knowledge by deceiving <strong>the</strong> personinto thinking that he is excused by Allah due to his ignorance. What this person does not realize isthat if he deliberately stays away from learning while he has <strong>the</strong> ability, <strong>the</strong> pro<strong>of</strong> is establishedagainst him (for punishm<strong>en</strong>t). This is <strong>the</strong> trick that Satan played upon <strong>the</strong> people <strong>of</strong> Noah, as Allahm<strong>en</strong>tioned in <strong>the</strong> Qur’an wh<strong>en</strong> <strong>the</strong>y : put <strong>the</strong>ir fingers in <strong>the</strong>ir ears and covered <strong>the</strong>mselves with<strong>the</strong>ir clo<strong>the</strong>s …. in order to plea that <strong>the</strong> pro<strong>of</strong> would not be established against <strong>the</strong>mThe third is calling and propagating <strong>the</strong> knowledge and practice <strong>of</strong> Islam, for <strong>the</strong> scholars andcallers are <strong>the</strong> inheritors <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Prophets. Allah <strong>the</strong> Exalted cursed <strong>the</strong> Israelites because <strong>the</strong>y usedto forbade o<strong>the</strong>rs <strong>the</strong> wickedness that <strong>the</strong>y <strong>the</strong>mselves would do, and what an evil thing <strong>the</strong>y didTeaching and calling to Islam is a community obligation, and thus wh<strong>en</strong> some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m fulfill thisobligation none are blameworthy, but if all leave it, all are blameworthyThe fourth is to have pati<strong>en</strong>ce and perseverance with any misfortune faced in learning,practicing, teaching and calling o<strong>the</strong>rs to itIn order to participate in this noble action <strong>of</strong> spreading knowledge to relieve people <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>irignorance and easing <strong>the</strong> way for <strong>the</strong>m to seek that knowledge obligatory upon <strong>the</strong>m, wehave ga<strong>the</strong>red in this concise book <strong>the</strong> very basics <strong>of</strong> Islamic knowledge needed by all, alongwith <strong>the</strong> explanation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> last three parts (Juz) <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Noble Qur’an. As it is said, ifsomething cannot be attained in its fullest, one should not neglect what can be attained <strong>of</strong> it.We have be<strong>en</strong> ke<strong>en</strong> to remain precise and concise throughout this book, and we havem<strong>en</strong>tioned only <strong>the</strong> auth<strong>en</strong>tic narrations <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Prophet ().We never, however, say thatwe are perfect and complete, since this is <strong>the</strong> station <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Prophet () [As Allah madehim infallible in what he relates about Allah and Islam]. If what we say is correct th<strong>en</strong> it isfrom Allah, and if what we say is incorrect th<strong>en</strong> it is from ourselves and Satan, and Allahand His Mess<strong>en</strong>ger are absolved and cleared from it. May Allah have mercy on those thatguide us to our mistakes with constructive criticism.We ask Allah <strong>the</strong> Exalted to reward with <strong>the</strong> best rewards everyone who has participatedin preparing, publishing and distributing this work, and to accept from <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong>ir gooddeeds and multiple <strong>the</strong>ir blessings.And Allah knows best, and peace and blessing be upon our Leader, our ProphetMuhammad, and all his family and companions. Secondedition : This book was recomm<strong>en</strong>ded by several Muslim scholars around <strong>the</strong> world.For more information, please contact us at : www.tafseer.info Email : <strong>en</strong>g@tafseer.info
