A Concise Manual For Basic Islamic Teachings

In this age of materialism, it is a reality that our children are growing up in a spiritually deficient environment.

As a consenquence of our awareness of the importance of this issue, we have published this Concise Manual.

In this book, all Muslims may find that basic religious information which is essential in their daily lives.

PREFACE

Endless thanks and praise to Allah the Most High, Who has created mankind and the entire universe with divine wisdom and for a great purpose.

May blessings and peace be upon Muhammad, the means of compassion to the universe, the most distin-guished intercessor, and the most beloved Prophet of Al-lah our Lord, and be upon his family, upon his compan-ions, and upon all those who have followed and continue to follow his holy path.

The content of this work (A Concise Manual) pertains to a branch of islamic knowledge that provides information about faith (iman) and worship (ibadah).

Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him (Sal- lAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)*, said that it is compulsory for every Muslim man and woman to acquire the knowledge. The knowledge (A Concise Fiqh) in this manual gives es-sential information about faith (iman) and worship (ibadah) which will guide its adherents to happiness both in this world and in the Hereafter. One cannot become a com-plete and perfect Muslim without learning and believing these essentials, known in Arabic as "Dharurah al-DTni- yyah" (Necessary Rules of the Religion).

Although a great many llmihal books have already been published we found it useful to compile yet another book with the aim of helping every Muslim, adults and children, learn and memorize the basics of Islam.

May Allah, the Most Supreme, be pleased with us for our endeavour.
