Therefore, let none of the readers of this treatise allow his habits, customs, upbringing, or what he has been taught to keep him from accepting the truth, submitting to it, and striving in its defense, for the truth is the most precious goal one can pursue and the noblest object of desire.

We ask Allah the Almighty for success, sound judgment, upright guidance, and right direction; to guide those of His servants who have gone astray and to break the power of those who cloak themselves in disbelief and obstinate defiance.

And our final supplication is: all praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.
