In this era, many people are trying to learn everything concerning the
material life aiming at making their living conditions better. In this
digest, the author has tried to write about the spiritual aspect of life
which is, as a matter of fact, more important than any other aspects.
Discussion of many topics associated with this, including weakness,
disbelief, oppression, being quarrelsome, impatience, ignorance,
forgetfulness, irritability, discontent, striving and working hard for
worldly desire, transgression and ingratitude, turning away, and more.
“And recite to them the story of him whom
We gave Our Ayat, but he threw them away; so Satan followed him up, and
he became of those who went astray. And had We willed, We would surely,
have elevated him there with, but he clung to the earth and followed
his own vain desire. So his parable is the parable of a dog: if you
drive him away, he lolls his tongue out, or if you leave him alone, he
(still) lolls his tongue out. Such is the parable of the people who
reject Our Ayat. So relate the stories, perhaps they may reflect. Evil
is the parable of the people who rejected Our Ayat. and used to wrong
their own selves.”

Publisher’s Note
The Holy Qur’ân, the word of Allâh subhanahu wa taala dealt with every
aspect of the human being. Qur’ân is a comprehensive revelation for
mankind and it suits every place and time. Allâh honored mankind and
gave them the ability to travel on land and sea. He subhanahu wa taala
also graced upon mankind a great many bounties and ordered the angels to
prostrate before Adam alayhi al salam.
Allâh subhanahu wa taala also showed us
the nature of mankind in the Holy Qur’ân. The positive and adverse
qualities of man are explained in detail, not in the way the
psychologist did, but in a divine way. The Creator subhanahu wa taala
tells us about the Creature. The qualities Allâh subhanahu wa taala
loves are detailed, and so are the qualities He subhanahu wa taala hates
in the human being. The way of the pious slaves is also shown so that
we can determine where we stand. One should know such qualities and see
where he stands, if he is on the right path then praise is due to Allâh
and if he is not he has to seek repentance and join the pious people and
take them as an example to follow.
Shaikh Abdullah M. Al-Mo‘taz has really
done a good effort to write this book of great value and we decided to
render it into English for the benefit of our brothers and sisters in
the English speaking world.
If we have succeeded it is only by the
grace of Allâh and if we have erred it is due to ourselves and the
Satan. May Allâh accept this work credit it to our good deeds and may He
raise the mention of His Slave and Messenger Muhammad salla Allah
alayhi wa sallam and be pleased with his companions and be merciful to
all of us. Amin.
