Epilogue

Epilogue I completed this book at 3 a.m on Wednesday 05/05/1428 AH (22/05/2007 CE) by the grace of Allah. I ask Him to accept this work, and open people's hearts to benefit from it. May He bless it by His grace, generosity and favor. Allah (SWT) says: {Whatever Allah grants to people of mercy, none can withhold it; and whatever He withholds, none can release it thereafter. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.} (Quran 35: 2 ) At the end of this book I cannot but stand with a humble heart before my Almighty Creator and my most generous God, acknowledging His grace, favor and generosity, and denying any power or strength on my part, turning to Him in all my actions, in life and in death, for Allah my Creator is the most generous; my generous Lord is the only helper; my Almighty God is my only source of aid. So to Him be praise for the blessings that He has bestowed upon me first and last, and I ask Him, glorified is He, by His most beautiful names and His sublime attributes to make this work of mine for His sake only and make it of benefit to His slaves; to reward me for every letter that I have written and place it in the scale of my good deeds, and to reward my brothers who helped me to complete this humble effort. We hope that every Muslim who reads this book will not forget in his supplications its author who is in need of the pardon, forgiveness, mercy and great pleasure of his Lord. {My Lord! Enable me to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do righteousness, that of which You approve, and admit me by Your Mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous servants.} (Quran 27: 19)
