Foreword

Allah’s will (Be done)! There is no power But with Allah, the Almighty, praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds, and PBU the Prophet Mohammed, on his progeny and all of his companions.
Quran states: “When comes the help of Allah, And you see that the people enter Allah’s religion (Islam) in crowds, So glorify the praise of your Lord, And ask for His forgiveness, verily, He is the One Who accepts the repentance and forgives.”[110:1-3]
Dear reader, the aim of writing this small book is a unique one.

It has been observed that the bookshelves which contain books for new Muslims possess many publications which deal with the fundamentals and basics of Islam.
No doubt these books are well-written and present the facts related to the basics of Islam elaborately and extensively.
However, very few publications have dealt with the significance of the fundamentals of Islam.

This small book attempts to present not only the fundamentals of Islam but also the significance of each pillar of Islam. It tries to highlight the basics of Islam and clothe them with their practical utility not only to the individual Muslim but also to the society as a whole.
It avoids presenting the fundamentals of Islam as just rituals like those of other faiths but lays emphasis on depicting their practical implications and relatedness to the basic needs of human society.
However, the writer admits that the book has not ventured into the minute details of the basics and fundamentals of Islam, rather, it concentrates on their significance.

The writer feels that the new embracer of Islam is in real need of such unique information that satisfies him and forms a foundation for developing his Islamic intellect by further readings.
The writer expresses his high sense of gratitude to all those who contributed to the publication of this Islamic material. May Allah, the Almighty, accept and add it to the deposit of their virtuous deeds and manifold His blessings for them.
Finally, we pray to Allah, the Almighty, to increase our Islamic knowledge and help us to devote it to the service of Islam. Dr. Abdel Rahman M. Yeddi Elnoor
