Otherwise, how would we claim to belong to the True Faith and how shall we acquit ourselves before our Lord? Worldly people, who have no regard for God and the true faith, are likely to take my comments ill and make wild accusations to express their displeasure upon hearing the excellences of Islam and the shortcomings of their own faith. But I do hope that there will be many seekers after truth who will find the right path through this book and will bow down in gratitude to God, who will teach and reveal to them what He has taught and revealed to me. It is for them that I have written this book and taken upon myself this heavy responsibility. It is beyond the power of my tongue or my pen to express the goodwill and concern I have for them. The pain that I have in my heart for the seekers after truth; Cannot be described in my brief statements. My heart and soul are so deeply engrossed in their concern; That I care not for my heart, nor am I aware of my life. I am nevertheless happy that I pine for God’s creatures; The cries that I utter in pain are a source of delight for me.
