Uswatun Hasanah

In this world, each of us is a new traveler. Both the paths and the destination here are unknown. It would have been a cause of boundless suffering for us if our Lord had left us just like that, and we had wasted our little lives spinning in circles trying to determine our paths and destinations. In His infinite mercy, the Most Merciful has shown boundless compassion here as well. To provide guidance to the right path, He has sent a great personage to the surface of the earth, upon whose footsteps and toward whose destination our journey unfolds. Nothing new needs to be discovered; we simply need to watch our step and place our feet in his footsteps. How fulfilling, how deeply peaceful it is to walk behind a person guaranteed of Paradise! We are certain that the distinct feature of the book that will draw a reader like a magnet and awaken the "self" within—the "I"—is the author's concise, profound analysis. In almost every story, he demonstrates through the reach of his intellect and the subtlety of his thought that just as the noble companions attained the supreme fortune of earning Paradise by keeping company with the Prophet, if later generations follow that exact same ideal, the sun of good fortune will smile upon their foreheads as well.
