"The Introduction"

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful

Praise be to Allah, the Exalted, the Worshipped, the Manifest, the Existing, the Bestower of blessings upon His servants by their existence, and He perfected His blessing upon them outwardly and inwardly, and He manifested in what they manifest His mercy, and He resembled them in the forms and differed from them in the essence. I praise Him with the praise of one who is purified from his impurity, and connected his love, and knew his Lord, and witnessed in the unseen the manifestation, and stood upon the realities of matters. And may Allah bless the First Light, and the exalted Mim, and the Sin of peace, and the Abode of Permanence, a pure blessing until the Day of Resurrection and Religion. And after, so this is a book extracted from many of the books, and by Allah is the success.
