Allah has
commanded us to worship and obey Him with sincerity, reverence, love, and
gratitude. He says in the Quran: "And they are ordered only to serve Allah,
keeping religion pure for Him, to remain upright, and to establish worship and
to pay the poor due. That is true religion'' (98:5). This worship is not
possible without knowledge. This short work outlines the absolute essentials of
this knowledge. It is based on the methodology of traditional Sunni Islam,
according to the Shafi'i school of Islamic law, and its purpose is to make
ones worship valid, sound, and proper in a short amount of time.
