In the book of Mark chapter 12 verse 28 through 30 it reads, 'One of the teachers of the law came and heard him debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important? 'The most important one,' answered Jesus, "is this: O Isreal, The Lord our God is one Lord. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind and with all your strength.' This was the first advice given.

In verse 32 it reads, 'Well said teacher," the man replied. "You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him.'

In verse 34 it reads, 'When Jesus saw that he had answered widely, he said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God.'

I say, verily the Messiah peace be upon him, bore witness that Allah is the only true God and there is no true god other than Him: and that the person who believes in Him as One is close to the kingdom of God. Therefore the one who associates partners with Him or deems Him to be three is far from the kingdom of God.

From the Back of the Book:

Noble Shaykh, no doubt you know the bitter reality of the religious condition of the Ummah. There is ignorance about 'Aqeedah and 'Aqeedah issues. There are differences in methodologies and negligence in most parts of the world with regard to the propagation of Islaam based upon the original 'Aqeedah and the original methodology that was instrumental in making this Ummah righteous.

This painful reality has certainly caused a sense of zealous concern in sincere people and a desire for change and correction of these shortcomings. However, they differ about the way to correct this reality because of their various schools of 'Aqeedah and methodologies, as you are aware Noble Shaykh.

There are also a number of movements and groups that have been claiming for decades that they can correct this Ummah. However, no success has been written (granted) for these groups or movements in this regard. On the contrary, these groups and movements have brought tribulation, calamities and great difficulties to the Ummah because their methodologies and their beliefs oppose the command of the Messenger of Allaah صَلَّى الله عَلَيهِ وَ سَلَّم. This has left the Muslims, especially the youth among them, in a state of confusion about the way to remedy this reality.

..to adorn oneself with beautiful etiquette, noble manners, good behavior, and pious conduct are distinguishing characteristics of the people of Islaam, adn knowledge - the most precious pearl in the crown of the purified Sharee'ah - cannot be attained except by those who adorn themselves with its etiquette and those who leave evil qualities associated to it. For this reason the scholars devoted their attention to this etiquette, outlined its importance and wrote books solely on this topic; either pertaining to [general conduct] with all types of knowledge or to specific types of knowledge such as the etiquette of carriers of the Noble Qur'aan the etiquette of the muhaddith, the etiquette of the muftee, the etiquette of the qaadee (judge), the etiquette of the muhtasib (the one who enjoins good and forbids evil for the sake of Allaah) and so on. The issue of this book is the general conduct of those who take the path of seeking the knowledge of the Sharee'ah.
