INTRODUCTION
Praise be to Allah, we praise Him and seek His help and forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our own selves and from our evil deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides, none can lead him astray, and whomsoever Allah sends astray, none can guide him. I bear witness that there is no god except Allah, the Alone, with no partner or associate, and I bear witness that Muhammad() is His slave and Messenger.
ياتها الذِينَ ءَامَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَانِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ
(O' you who believe! Fear Allah [by doing all that He has ordered and by abstaining from all that He has forbidden] as He should be feared. [Obey Him, be thankful to Him, and remember Him always] and die not except in a state of Islam [as Muslims (with complete submission to Allah)].) (Qur'an 3: 102)
ويناتها النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِى خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً وَاتَّقُوا اللهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا )
(O' mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person [Adam], and from him [Adam] He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from them both He created many men and women; and fear Allah through Whom you demand [your mutual rights], and [do not cut the relations of] the wombs [kinship]. Surely, Allah is Ever an All-Watcher over you.)
(Qur'an 4: 1)

This book appears at a time when many other books and ideas are being propagated to justify the status quo of the ummah, and the position of those who are not ruling by what Allah has revealed and to detract from the seriousness of the situation.
This book is a detailed discussion of the extreme views of both the Murji'ah and Khawaarij, which are clouding the ummah's vision as they have done for far too long. The view of the Murji'ah states that faith is simply the matter of belief in the heart, with no link to action, whilst the view of the Khawaarij is that any sin equals a major kufr act which puts a person beyond the pale of Islam. The author highlights these distorted views, then explains the middle way of Ahl as-Sunnah wa'l-Jamaa'ah, based on the Qur'an and Sunnah, where faith is composed of both belief and action, and it may increase and decrease; while sin does not necessarily equal a major kufr act, but there are some major sins which do constitute major kufr acts and put a person beyond the pale of Islam, such as ruling by something other than what Allah has revealed.
Once this idea is clear in the minds of ordinary Muslims, the Muslim ummah will not accept anything from their governments and rulers except shari'ah, to rule their lives, and they will realize that any other system or law is nothing more or less than kufr disbelief and a deviation from Islam.
