The Basic Rulings and Principles of Fiqh – Foundation 1
All Praise is due to Allaah, we praise Him, we seek His aid, and we seek His
forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allaah from the evils of our souls and from the evils
of our actions. Whomsoever Allaah guides, then there is no one to misguide him, and
whomsoever Allaah leaves to go astray, then there is no one to guide him. I bear

«O you who believe! Fear Allaah as He should be
feared and die not except in a state of Islam (as
Muslims) with complete submission to Allaah»
Surah Aali-Imran (3:102)

«O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from
a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his
wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from them both He created many men

Surah an-Nisa (4:1)

«O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allaah and fear Him, and

indeed achieved a great achievement (i.e. he will be saved from

the Hell-fire and made to enter Paradise).»
Surah al-Ahzab (33:70-71)

Indeed, the most truthful speech is the speech of Allaah (ta’ala), and the best of
guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (: sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). The
worst of affairs are the newly invented matters, and every newly invented matter is an
innovation. Every innovation is a misguidance, and every misguidance is in Hellfire.
