Commentary On The Introductory Notes...
ولَا يَعْصُونَ اللهَ مَا أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ)
Who disobey not, (from executing) the Commands they receive from Allah, but do that which they are commanded (At-Tahrim 66:6)
Would He praise them in this manner, while they do not have intellect?
يُسَبِّحُونَ الَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ لَا يَفْتُرُونَ ﴾
They glorify His Praises night and day, and they never slacken (to do so) (Al-Anbiya' 21:20)
Do we (then) say that they do not have intellect?! They obey Allah, do what Allah commands them, and convey the Wahi. But we would say: They do not have intellect?! The most worthy to be described as not having intellect, is he who says that they do not have intellect.
"And His Books": meaning, His Books which He revealed to the Messengers.
And for every Messenger there was a Book. Allah, the Most High, said:
لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلَنَا بِالْبَيِّنَتِ وَأَنزَلْنَا مَعَهُمُ الْكِتَب وَالْمِيزَانَ
Indeed We have sent Our Messengers with clear proofs, and revealed with them the Book and the Balance (Al-Hadid 57:25)
This is evidence that every Messenger was given a Book; but we do not know all these Books. Rather, we only know: the Suḥuf (Scriptures of) Ibrahim and Mūsa, the Tawrah, the Injil, the Zabur and the Qur'an. These are six.
Some say the Şuḥuf (Scriptures of) Mūsă are the same as the Tawrah. While some others say that they are different.

Hadiths Concerning The Attributes (of Allah) guidance and light. (Al-Ma'idah 5:44)
He said at the beginning of Surah Al 'Imran:
نَزَّلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَبَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقًا لِمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَأَنزَلَ التَّوْرَنَةَ وَالإنجيل من قبل هُدًى لِلنَّاسِ وَأَنزَلَ الْفُرْقَان
It is He Who has sent down the Book to you with truth, confirming what came before it. And He sent down the Tawrah and the Injil. Aforetime, as guidance to mankind. And He sent down the Criterion. (Al 'Imran 3:3-4)
❖ His statement: "I seek refuge in You from the evil of my soul:" Meaning, I seek Allah's protection from the evil of my soul.
Hence, there is evil in your soul:
وَمَا أُبَرَى نَفْسِي إِنَّ النَّفْسَ لَأَمَارَةُ بِالسُّوءِ
And I free not myself. Verily, the self is inclined to evil. (Yusuf 12:53)
Yet, the soul is of two kinds:
A tranquil, pure soul, that orders what is good.
An evil soul, that orders evil.
As for An-Nafsul-Lawamah (the self-reproaching soul); is it a third, or description of the two that preceded?
There is a difference of opinion about that. Some of them say that it is a third kind of soul, and some of them say that it is a description of the two that preceded. So the tranquil one reproaches you, while the one urging evil also reproaches you. So, His statement, Exalted is He:
وَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالنَّفْسِ القَوَامَةِ

Concerning his statement: And of Eemän in Alláh is Eemán (belief) in what He describes Himself with in His Book and what His Messenger has described Him with..
There is nothing like Allah..
Concerning his saying: "Rather, they believe that Allah -Exalted is He- there is nothing like Him; and He is the All- Hearer, the All-Seer."
