The day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail, except him who brings to Allaah a clean heart."
Indeed it is quite possible that many people erred and strayed off the path due to ignorance or pretending to be ignorant of the correct order in prioritising knowledge, acting and calling to Allaah. So this topic, by the will of Allaah, is in order to prevent myself and my brothers from ruin, misguidance and confusion.
I ask Allaahto grant me the ability to act upon it, and to make it sin- cere and acceptable to Him, to eliminate darkness, illuminate the way and cause the Ummah to benefit from it. He is indeed the All-Hearer of invocation.
