بشم الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الله نَحْمَدُهُ وَنُصَلِّي 1 FOR THE ATTENTION OF RESPECTED ARYAS No reasonable person can deny that since the beginning of time the Shariah [religious law] emanating from God has been divided into two parts: (1) The first and foremost is to believe that God Almighty, with all His perfect attributes, is One without any associate, and to believe that He has no partner, both in His being and in His attributes, and that one should believe that He is the Source of all blessings and is the Source or Fountainhead of every phenomenon and the Creator of every being that exists, and has the power over everything which is con- sistent with His greatness, majesty, and glory, and is not inconsistent with His perfect attributes. He precedes every being that exists and is the Ultimate Refuge of the entire universe. He comprehends all perfect attributes. He is Holy and Pure from the defect that His attributes may fall into decay at any time in the past or the future. He is the Creator since eternity, the Provider since eternity, and the All-Powerful since eternity. Nobody knows what He did in the past or what He will do in the 1. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. We praise Him and invoke blessings. [Publisher]
