Publisher's Synopsis
Praise is only for Allah. We praise Him, seek His help, seek His forgiveness and seek refuge in Him from the evils of our nafs (souls) and the evils of our actions. The one whom Allah guides, there is no one to mislead and the one whom he misleads, there is no one to guide. I testify that there is no true god except Allah, He is One, He has no partner. And I testify that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is his slave and messenger. Amma ba'd (afterward):
It is not permissible to waste the things that Allah Ta'ala has made obligatory, it is haraam to transgress (tajauz) the limits that Allah has fixed, and it is impermissible to degenerate into the things that have been made haraam.
