The sixth advantage is that this book argues its points in a very solid, reasoned and balanced fashion, but without compro- mising the requirements of grace and lucidity. This manner of argumentation will prove to be an excellent means of fostering knowledge and lending maturity to thought and perception. The study and use of sound rational arguments sharpens the intellect, the understanding of subtle points helps enhance the power of comprehension, and the exercise of proper argumentation estab- lishes one’s mind squarely upon the truth. It also helps to develop and perfect the ability to discern the basis and real truth of every point of contention—which is essential for the perfect develop- ment of our intellectual faculties and on which depends the hon- our and prestige of the human self. Here ends all that we intended to write in this preface. All praise belongs to Allah, who guided us in all this. But for His guidance, we would never be guided aright. The End of the Preface.
