Miftah-ul-Janna (Booklet for way to Paradise)

interpolated the Prophets’ ‘’alaihim-us-salawât-u-wa-t-teslîmât’
heavenly books and changed their utterances, past religions have
been forgotten and defiled. What is even worse, evil people have
made up and concocted bogus religions.
Because Allâhu ta’âlâ, Creator of all, pities human beings very
much, He has sent them a final Prophet with a new religion. And
He has given them the good news that He shall protect this religion
till the end of this world and spread it intact far and near despite
the evil people’s attacks and attempts to change and defile it.
We express our profound gratitude to Allâhu ta’âlâ that we
have had belief in the existence and unity of the Creator since we
were only a small child, when we attained the fortune of learning
that the Name of this Creator is Allah, that Muhammad ‘’alaihissalâm’
is His final Prophet, and Islam is the religion conveyed by
that beloved Prophet to His slaves, (human beings.) We wanted to
learn this Islamic religion correctly. Throughout our years of
education in high school and in university, we searched for a
source to learn it from. But the youth of our nation had been
surrounded by a virtually insurmountable barrier of sham
scientists who had hawked themselves to freemasons and
communists and hirelings who had been suborned by wahhâbîs
into becoming eclectics without a certain Madhhab. So cunning
had been the behind-the-scenes activities carried on by the
renegades and heretics who had bartered their faith for worldly
interests that it was next to impossible to sort the correct way out.
There was no way out but to beg Allâhu ta’âlâ. Our Allah, most
high, blessed us with reading books written by scholars of Ahl assunnat
‘rahima-humullâhu ta’âlâ’. Yet the convictions we had
been imbued with in the name of scientific knowledge by sham
scientists passing as modern people and in the name of translations
of the Qur’ân al-kerîm by sham men of religion who had been
exploiting Islam for their personal interests had penetrated deep
into our soul. May infinite gratitude be to Allâhu ta’âlâ for blessing
us with an awakening owing to the admonitions on the part of true
men of religion, so that we began to distinguish between good and
evil. We were able to realize that what our mind had been
saturated with was sequinned poison, rather than knowledge, and
that our heart had been darkened with their deleterious effect.
Had we not seen the books written by scholars of Ahl as-sunnat,
we would have been unable to distinguish between friend and foe,
and we would have been deceived by the tricks and lies of our nafs
and of enemies of religion. We would have been unable to escape
