PROLOGUE بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيم.
ان اجرى الا على رب العالمين -وما اسألكم عليه من اجر
ان اجرى الا على رب العالمين -وما اسألكم عليه من اجر
يُؤْتِي
الْحِكْمَةَ مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَن يُؤْتَ الْحِكْمَةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيْرًا
كَثِيرًا ۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّا أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ
Allah is the one Who
granteth wisdom to whoever He pleaseth; and the wisdom so granted is, indeed, a
benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the Message but men of understanding
(Alquran.2:269).
"My
knowledge is confined to that which Allah has taught me and I profess no
secret, whether spoken, voiced or uttered. While the magnificence, if
any, in my work/Ideas comes from Allah, the mistake, if any, in my effort
constitutes human errors and is entirely mine."
Praised be to ALLAH for
His bounty towards those deserving it by performing virtuous acts prescribed by
Him for His adoring creatures! Not only are we, the mankind, thankful for His
mercy but also acknowledge His might, bend before His power, revere His
greatness, beseech the continuance of His mercy and wish to be preserved from
change!
Long after any other
messenger had appeared from above, justice had fallen into neglect and the true
way of life had been forgotten, He sent to us Muhammad (PBUH), (on whom may
repose the blessing of ALLAH), the greatest leader with the mission of a
prophet to eliminate injustice from all walks of life.
Allah did, indeed,
through Muhammad (PBUH) cure of blindness, save from perdition, increases what
before was small and collect what before was scattered. Praised be to
ALLAH, our Lord! And may His glory increase, and may all His names be
hallowed – Allah besides whom there is no God; and may His benediction rest on
Muhammad (PBUH) the Prophet and on the descendants of Muhammad!
The learned in times
past, and amongst the nations ceasing to exist, were constantly employed in
writing books about several issues in the various branches of knowledge. They did so while bearing in mind those that
were to come after them and with the hope for a reward proportionate to their
ability; they trusted that their endeavors would meet with acknowledgement,
attention, and remembrance, content, as they were, even with a small degree of
praise; small, if compared with the pains which they had undergone, and the
difficulties which they had encountered in revealing the secrets and
obscurities of nature.
Some out of them
applied themselves to obtain information, which was not known before them, and
left it to posterity; others commented upon the difficulties in the works left
by their predecessors, and defined the best method (of study), or rendered the
access (to science) easier or placed it more within reach; others again
discovered mistakes in preceding works, and arranged that which was confused,
or adjusted what was irregular, and corrected the faults of their fellow
laborers, without arrogance and without taking pride in what they themselves did.
The rules of refined social ethics are as necessary to teach today as it was
centuries ago.
My confidence rests
with ALLAH, in this as in everything, and in Him I put my trust. He
is Lord of the Sublime Throne. May His blessing descend upon all of the
prophets (heavenly messengers) and their faithful followers? My motivation
for this humble effort is nothing beyond a desire for the betterment of
society. I am also, in this endeavor, guided by the affability and
condescension which Allah shows to the learned, the promptitude with which He
protects and supports them in the elucidation of obscurities and removal of
difficulties. I have, in the light thereof, been encouraged to compose a
system for reorganizing society on the lines found to be the easiest and most
useful for human beings.
