This book serves all of these purposes at once and has been written specifically with all of this in mind. Utterance of the two testifications (shahadatan) regarding monotheism (taw?i?) and messengership (risalah) enter a person into Islam. This declaration has a meaning (ma?na); requirements (muqta?a); conditions (shuru?) and nullifiers (nawaqi?) which must be understood well. After a person enters Islam; he or she establishes the remaining pillars of Islam whilst seeking knowledge to increase inward Iman; which is faith. Thereafter; he or she strives for I?san which is excellence; and for the perfection of character.
