Page 231
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. The best outcome is for the righteous. Peace and blessings be upon His slave and Messenger, the trustee over His revelation and His Chosen One from among His creation, our Prophet, Imam and master Muhammad, son of 'Abdullah, and upon his family, his companions and those follow his way and adopt his guidance until the Day of Judgment. To continue:
It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islâm), to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh) hate (it).
He it is Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islâm), that He may make it (Islâm) superior to all religions. And All-Sufficient is Allâh as a Witness.
"And verily, this (i.e. Allâh's Commandments mentioned in the above two Verses 151 and 152) is My Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His Path. This He has ordained for you that you may become Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2)."
Say (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳﻠﻢ): "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from: Join not anything in worship with Him; be good and dutiful to your parents; kill not your children because of poverty - We provide sustenance for you and for them; come not near to Al-Fawâhish (shameful sins, illegal sexual intercourse) whether committed openly or secretly; and kill not anyone whom Allâh has forbidden, except for a just cause (according to Islâmic law). This He has commanded you that you may understand."
"And come not near to the orphan's property, except to improve it, until he (or she) attains the age of full strength; and give full measure and full weight with justice. We burden not any person, but that which he can bear. And whenever you give your word (i.e. judge between men or give evidence), say the truth even if a near relative is concerned, and fulfil the Covenant of Allâh. This He commands you, that you may remember.
And I (Allâh) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).
And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad ﺻﻠﻰ ﺍﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭﺳـﻠﻢ) but We revealed to him (saying): Lâ ilâha illa Ana [none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allâh)], so worship Me (Alone and none else)."
All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists). The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The Only Owner (and the Only Ruling Judge) of the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything).
That the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to Mu'adh: Do you know what is the right of Allah upon His slaves? And what is the right of the slaves upon Allah (may He be Exalted)? Then Mu`adh said: I said: Allah (may He be Exalted) and His Messenger (peace be upon him) know best. Then he (peace be upon him) said: The right of Allah upon His slaves is that they should worship Him and should not associate any partner with Him...
Whoever dies while still invoking a rival (in worship) to Allah, will enter Hell (Fire).
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) drew a line with his hand and then said: This is the path of Allah; it is straight and then he drew other lines on its right and left side and then said: All these paths have a Satan on it inviting people to it. Then, he (peace be upon him) recited: And verily, this (i.e. Allâh's Commandments mentioned in the above two Verses 151 and 152) is My Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His Path.
