This is the story of the Muslim prophet Yusha' ibn Nun (as), known in English as Joshua, who was both the servant and the inheritor of Moses (as). It is the story of heroic deeds and spiritual triumphs, but also of humbleness and submission to God. Content to remain in the shadow of his master, Yusha's (as) own story remains partially hidden. To help uncover it, a comparison is made to 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (kw) the companion of the Prophet Muhammad (sas). Warriors, scholars, and spiritual champions, they teach us something about the path of service whose destination is the holy land.

This book covers the Mothers of the Prophets, the Prophet Muhammad's wives, his daughters and the most famous of the female Companions.

Just how much more beautiful would it be that the believing servant is consistently conscious of this blessed meaning, which this Hadith illustrates, "who has been kept away from Fitan," meaning that Allāh keeps Fitan away from him and shields him from its evil. This Hadith is inclusive of the following connotations. It is unbefitting for the Muslim to seek out Fitan, expose oneself to it, involve himself in it, or be entangled in its complexities and dire consequences. Let alone put oneself through its wicked outcome(s).Instead, Islām requires the servant to keep one's distance and avoid it. He should make efforts to remain safe from its evil. Avoiding Fitan is the main objective here; not heading long into it or being entangled. Instead, one should seek refuge with Allāh and beg Him for well-being. Well-being is unparalleled to anything else. Whoever has been blessed with it has been gifted with a tremendous amount of good. Numerous supplications have been cited where the Prophet (May Allah elevate his rank & grant him peace) asked Allāh (The Exalted) for well-being.

He established tremendous meanings, lofty facts, and beneficial details that every Muslim cannot do without.The author did not give this poetry this name himself; instead, this name was taken from his statement in the beginning: "Oh one asking about the Manhaj al-Haqq (the right methodology).He began it by encouraging the one who hopes for happiness and seeks out success in this life and the Hereafter, that one contemplates what this poem contains much good, in the right manner.Allāh had made easy the obtainment of two manuscripts for this poem. The Shaykh's grandchildren sent them to me.

From his pieces of poetry is this poem entitled 'Al-Hāʾīyah.' It concerns a lofty aspect and an essential matter of knowledge. It is concerning having Zuhd (abstinence) in this worldly life, cautioning from being tested in it. This poetry contains safeguarding it, from making it one's most significant importance, from it being the scope of one's knowledge, and from it is the extent of his objective.Whoever is like that, this worldly life will cause him a great deal of harm. It will be the cause of his destruction and being deprived of any good.The poet has undoubtedly done well and was proficient in writing this poem. Along with its conciseness, it is comprised of many excellent and tremendous benefits.

The topic of this treatise is one of tremendous purpose which every Muslim, male and female, needs, "Our duty concerning what Allāh orders us with." Our duty concerning what we have been commanded with has been mentioned in the Book of our Lord (i.e., Allāh) and in the Sunnah of our Prophet (May Allāh elevate his rank & grant him peace).This lofty topic before us is a reminder that Allāh (The Mighty & Majestic) did not make this creation futilely nor did he bring it into existence for play and amusement. Our Lord (i.e., Allāh) is free from that. Rather, He made the creation upon truth. Allāh (The Exalted) says,"He has created the heavens and the earth with truth. High be He Exalted above all they associate as partners with Him." [Sūrah an-Nahl 16:3]Allāh (The Blessed & Exalted) declared Himself above making this creation in falsehood or bringing it into existence for play throughout numerous verses in His Book.

So if we need pondering and reflecting over the Qurʾān and understanding it, then our need for due contemplation over al-Fātihah-which is the Mother of The Qurʾān, the best chapter in the Qurʾān and the one generally containing what the entirety of the Qurʾān covers -is more dire and severe. This is why it behooves every believing servant to give this magnificent Sūrah what it deserves from the contemplation and understanding of its meanings and proofs so that he can benefit and ascend by the grace of the King and the Giver of All (Allāh).This book contains a reference to some of the guidelines of this blessed Sūrah, along with its tremendous benefits and abundant goodness-the origin of which are lessons that I gave and then later revised, summarized, and released in this form. I hope that Allāh brings about religious and worldly gains and benefits through it. I firstly and lastly praise Allāh, and I thank Him inwardly and outwardly. I cannot let this moment pass to extend my gratitude to my brother, the virtuous Shaykh, 'Abdul-Hādī Ibn Hasan Wahabī, for his appreciated efforts and noble work to produce this book. May Allāh reward him with good and place this (his endeavors) on his scale of good deed.I ask Allāh, the Most Generous for Tawfīq (ability to be successful) and acceptance. May He elevate the rank of our Prophet Muḥammad and send peace upon him, his family, and companions.

The most virtuous of words - the word of Tawhīd- Lā Ilaha Illā-Allāh- will not be accepted by mere utterance on the tongue. Rather, an implementation of its fundamental principles is necessary. For example, disproving polytheism and affirming the oneness of Allāh with a firm belief and adherence to all that it entails. This is the only way can anyone be considered a Muslim or be in the fold of the people of Tawhīd (Lā Ilaha Illā-Allāh). This great word signifies the falsehood of any deity besides Allāh. To affirm any deity other than Allāh is the most atrocious aggression and most evil deviation.

When one handles this significantly elaborate topic of soul purification and its aspects in light of verses and authentic aḥādīth, one deduces solid principles and comprehensive foundational rules that pave the way to purifying souls.

The topic of this discussion is entitled "Our obligation concerning the noble companions" (May Allāh be pleased with them); which is an enormous duty and a great demand (by Islām) that is fitting for us all to peek our interest and devote the utmost concern. The honored reader should also know that our obligation to the companions is a part of our obligation to our religion is a part of our obligation to our religion; the religion of Islām which Allāh has approved for His servants. No other religion besides it will not be accepted from them as Allāh says,"Truly, the religion with Allāh is Islām." [Sūrah ʿAli ʿImrān 3:19]Likewise, Allāh says,"And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter, he will be one of the losers." [Sūrah ʿAli ʿImrān 3:85]And Allāh says, "This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion." [Sūrah al-Mā'idah 5:3]This true religion and straight path are the religion of Allāh (The Mighty & Majestic). Allāh selected a trustworthy Messenger; one who is a sincere advisor and wise; an honored Messenger who is Muḥammad (May Allāh elevate his rank & grant him peace).He conveyed this religion in a complete manner, explained it fully; and established what His Lord (The Blessed & Exalted) ordered in the most perfect aspect

So, sadness, distress, and anxiety can be replaced by happiness. How can this heart be happy? Saying these supplications without thinking about its meanings would be meaningless because these remembrances and supplications are worthy of deep consideration. When one is afflicted with sadness, distress, and anxiety, he should mention starting with "O Allāh! I am your servant." This is a confession that he is a servant of Allāh (The Glorified & Exalted), who is His Creator and Sustainer. A servant means a worshipper who obeys the orders of Allāh (The Glorified & Exalted). "O Allāh! I am your servant the son of your servant, the son of your maidservant." I am your servant, and my father's till Adam are servants of You; all of us are servants of You and You are our Creator, Lord, and Sustainer. "My forelock is in your hand;" forelock is the forehead. I do not have anything unless with Your will and Power. If You want me to live, I will live. If You want me to be happy, I will be happy. If You want me to be healthy, I will be well and healthy. If You want me to be rich, I will be rich. If You want anything else like disease, poverty, I will be ill and poor. My forelock is in Your hand, your Will and Power rule all things
