Full Description: Verily, the foremost matter individuals should put to effect is:
To learn the purpose for which Allah created them, took the covenant upon them, sent His Messengers to them, and sent down His divine scriptures. For this purpose, the worldly life, the Hereafter, the paradise and the hell-fire were created. Additionally, owing to this purpose, the Judgment Day will be established, the scales of deeds will be set, the sheets of deeds will be scattered, and sorrow and happiness will be on that Day and on which light will be distributed.
Allah says,
“And he for whom Allah has not appointed light, for him there is no light.”
Allah instructs us that we are created to worship Him. The backbone and foundation of worship is Tawheed; with which all the Messengers had been missioned to proclaim. The simple profession that comprises Tawheed on its entirety is very short, copious of implications, and critically significant; it is:
“La ilaha ill Allah”
It is the testmony of faith and the key to the abode of happiness. It is the foundation of this religion, the trunk of its tree, the pillar of its pavillion; while the rest of the pillars and obligations branch out of it, integrate requirements. The whole purpose behind creation is crystallized in Allah’s saying:
Allah says,
“And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me.”
Allah has obligated upon every accountable individual to profess that nothing is worthy of worship except Allah and act accordingly.

Publishers Note: In the Name of Allaah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of mercy
As a publisher we are required to provide accurate translations of the books and texts that we publish in the English language and we will be held responsible for this.
Therefore, it is incumbent upon us to clarify an error that has occurred in this particular treatise.
Allaah, the Most High, said:
“(And remember) when Allah took a convenant from those who were given the Scripture to make it known and clear to mankind, and not to hide it, but they threw it away behind their backs, and purchased with it some miserable gain! And indeed worst is that which they bought.”
The mistake is that the translator chose to translate “Laa ilaaha illa Allaah” to mean “there is no God but Allaah”. This is clearly incorrect and unacceptable. Rather, an accurate translation would be: none has the right to be worshipped in truth except Allaah.
This mistake occurs on pages:
