Chapter Seven: that the previous ruling applies to every mosque except the Prophet’s Mosque.

Scattered throughout these main chapters are additional subsidiary sections which, by Allah’s permission, contain important and beneficial points.

I have entitled this treatise: Tahdhīr al-sājid min ittikhādh al-qubūr masājid (A Warning to the Worshiper Against Taking Graves as Mosques).

Such is what I wrote in the introduction to the first edition. I now ask Allah—blessed and exalted be He—to grant the Muslims even greater benefit from this edition than from its predecessor, to accept it from me together with all my righteous deeds with a good acceptance, and to reward the one who has overseen its printing with the best of rewards.
