Foresight Before The Wall

Have you ever encountered a truth-something you've heard, seen, or felt deeply-that you couldn't quite explain?

What if that truth stemmed from revelation, whether recited (the Qur'an) or unrecited (the Hadith)?

What would you do?

We were moved when we recognized certain truths we had come across in the teachings of scholars, the books we had read, and the films we had watched-only to later find those same truths echoed in the Qur'an and the Hadith.

Our eyes filled with tears, just like the People of the Book described in Surah Al-Ma'idah (5:83): "And when they hear what has been revealed to the Messenger, you see their eyes overflowing with tears because they recognize the truth.

They say, 'Our Lord, we believe, so count us among the witnesses to the truth." We then shared these truths with our students, with our community.

And as we spoke, our words found their depth and blessing in truth.

Encouraged by their heartfelt response, we gathered what we had written between two covers-alhamdulillah.

This is the brief story behind the book you now hold in your hands.

May our Lord count you and us among those who bear witness to the truth.
