Textual Note
There is the Name Allah Ju, and three phrases in this book
which appear in Arabic. The first phrase which appears on the
cover is, *1)1 , translated, "No god but Allah, Mu-
hammad is His Messenger." The second phrase appears at the head
of each section, preceding the title. It is A, translated, "Allah is
the Greatest." The third is transliterated, "Sallalahu alayhi wa
sallam," ("May Allah praise and venerate him [Prophet Muham-
mad], and grant him perfect peace," or "May the peace and bles-
sings of Allah be upon him") is a prayer which we should say,
audibly or silently, each time we read, mention, or hear Prophet
Muhammad's 5^ name. By asking that Allah's Eternal Blessings be
upon Prophet Muhammad sg, we express our devotion, rever-
ence, and respect for him. Whenever Prophet Muhammad's sg
name appears in this text, it is followed by "|g," to remind the
reader of the prayer.
