Steps to Exercise — Page 8
- 8 - FOREWARD In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Ever Merciful We Laud Him and Invoke His Blessings of Peace on the Prophet of Allah And on his Servant, the Promised Messiah With the Blessings and Mercy of Allah About two years ago, the Department of Physical Health promised to publish a brief booklet on health. However, due to unavoidable circumstances, the fullment of this promise kept being delayed. Last year, a sincere friend was asked to prepare a booklet. Although the department is grateful to him for preparing a book rather than a booklet full of interesting statistics about games, it could not be published because it was too voluminous and slightly irrelevant to what was needed by the Khuddam at that time. Finally, it was decided that a completely new booklet should be prepared which should be a summary of Islamic teachings about physical health. It should contain instructions from Hadhrat Ameerul Momineen, Khalifatul Masih II, some knowledge about physical energy and such exercises that the Khuddam brothers can carry out daily, with ease and in a short time. Mohtamim Sehat-e-Jismani confesses that it is with regret that the publication of such a booklet was delayed due to a combination of other engagements and oversight. We hope Khuddam will overlook this delay. After this apology the author and publisher of this book, praises Allah the Benecent as only He can grant knowledge to an illiterate person and only He is the fountainhead of all knowledge. It is only with His Grace and Blessings that this booklet, in its present form, is being presented to the readers. All Praise to Allah for this!
