As for what you asked about the verse of monotheism and the word of abstraction, know that this is beyond my level, and I am nothing but a humble servant. It is He who holds the dominion of knowledge and in His grasp is the power of wisdom. He knows what He wills, whenever He wills. There is no god but He, the Mighty, the Beautiful. His command extends to all those in the heavens and earth, and He does what He wills. He is the almighty, the all-powerful, and nothing can escape His knowledge or overpower Him. He is not questioned about what He does, and indeed, He is the Dominant, the Invincible, the Mighty, the Exalted.

However, in my weakness, pain, poverty, and need for what I love in myself, I still want to show what Allah has given me with His bounty, so that I would not be among those whom Allah has described in His mighty, protected book by saying the truth, "Those who are stingy and enjoin stinginess on others, and conceal what Allah has given them of His bounty" (Quran 4:37). Therefore, I share with you what Allah allows to flow through my pen so that you may be proud of what we have distinguished you with among people. Perhaps, you will be among those who cut off from worldly desires; and give thanks to Allah for what He has given you with His bounty and revealed to you the verses of which the knowledgeable people are bewildered.
