Guidance for Perceiving Minds — Page 1
1 ِْمِ َّرَِحِْی� ِ ال �ْٰمِٰن ِح َّرَ ِ ال ِہّٰلل� ِْسِْمِ ا ِب� All praise be to Allah, Who disclosed a path to His saints—a path where even the sand-grouse are led astray. He illuminated for them a day so bright that even the bat cannot perceive it. He guided them along trails untrodden by camels, and for their sake, He made such springs gush forth that the birds of attainment were unable to reach them. May peace and blessings be upon the Seal of the Messengers s as , whose seal of prophethood necessitated that people like the prophets be sent from his Ummah; his trees continue to blos- som and bear fruits until the end of time, and that his impact is indelible, and his remembrance shall never cease. For this reason, it is the practice of Allah to send forth chosen servants to reju- venate this faith. He grants them the hidden knowledge of the Quran, and leads them to absolute certainty, so that they can reveal verities of the truth to all creation, along with its authority, strength, and brilliance; and so they can explain the essence, paths and signs of recognising these verities. They can safeguard people from innovations and the deluge of evil deeds. They establish the Shariah and spread it, while eradicating any form of extremity or the remissness of following it. 1.
