Introduction
I Seek Refuge in God from Satan the Accursed
In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
"Praise be to God, who hath guided us to this (felicity): Never could we have found guidance, had it not been for the guidance of God" (Quran 7:43)
In other words, if Almighty Allah had not guided us to this righteous path, we could have never found it.
For perceptive, God seeking, and broad-minded youths, it is necessary for them to understand, when possible, the reasons for the cause of the rapid advancement of Muslims in the early age of Islam.
Moreover, they should know what has caused the current backwardness and diversity amongst this huge mass of pious Muslims. In regards to these subjects, if we recommend the reading of the commentaries, and other lengthy Islamic works; in lay terms, we have caused these pure-hearted youths to become lost in finding the black peas (almost impossible). This notion itself is deceiving and straying onto the wrong path. It does not mean that Muslim youths, in order to heal their inner pain and find answers to their complex questions, will not benefit from reading commentaries of the Quran and Hadith. But the truth is that today's youth no longer has the time to read commentaries and recite the interpretations. So, by looking at this reality, does this not mean that we refuse to answer their questions or cause people to stray onto the wrong path? The answer is yes.
Therefore, by realising this reality, we now present these truths to the brothers and lovers of Islam and humanity through '102' instructive questions in the following seven chapters.

"Surely, the readers will read this series of literary works of particular luminosities
all over, with full interest. For the faithful aware ones know well that these truths have
been received recently. They are the extract and result of 2500 verses of the Untouched Qur'an
of Islam and of related Ahadeeth of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, which the Qur'an
reveals emphatically. Thereby, the shortest path for relationship with Almighty Allah has
been perfectly clarified to Muslims and even to all humanity through the observance of
Almighty Allah's handiworks. It is understood to be more efficient than all conditional
worships. Rather, a minute of such engagement is equivalent to a year of worship untainted
by hypocrisy and an hour of it to 60 years; such understanding has come through Prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him, on the basis of repeated emphasis of the Holy Qur'an, and he has advised
us on its practice."
