Through it, luminous and shining expressions were perfected; its meanings penetrate the minds and settle in the basins of the hearts, increasing the heart of the Monotheist believer in strength and desire for his religion and insight in his certainty. Thus, the book was organized, by the praise of Allah and His good success, upon what it comprised and contained of the sublime knowledge and the shining essence regarding the Monotheism of the Eternal, the Most High, and what we included regarding the knowledge of the Name (al-Ism), manifest and hidden. What follows that increases the one who habitually looks into its meanings and deeply investigates what it contains and harbors in guidance, virtue, and a Monotheism that purifies—those who profess it in knowledge and action—from the entanglements of humanity, elevating him to the high, luminous stations.

A book stripped of all corruption, guiding to the path of righteousness, calling to the way of goodness and correctness; so blessedness, then blessedness, to whoever knows it and acts upon it. How his journey shall be praised and his face whitened on the day he meets his Master! By my life, none shall be granted success to that except those of the People of the Right, whom Allah the Almighty described in His Manifest Book.
