People may be divided into two types, those who repent and turn to Allaah, and those who do wrong; there is
no third category. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “… And whosoever does not repent, then such
are indeed zaalimoon (wrong-doers, etc.).” [al-Hujuraat 49:11]. We are living in a time when many people
have strayed far from the religion of Allah, and sin and immorality have become so widespread that there is
no one who remains free from the taint of evil except for the one who is protected by Allaah.
However, Allaah will not allow but that His light should be perfected, thus many people have awoken from
the slumber of negligence. They have become aware of their failure to fulfil their duties towards Allaah, have
regretted their carelessness and sin, and so have started to move towards the beacon of repentance. Others
have grown weary of this wretched life of misery, and so they are looking for a way out of darkness and into
the Light.
But these people face many obstacles which they think stand between them and repentance, some of which
exist within their own selves, and others in the world around them.
For this reason I have written this brief work, hoping to clear up this confusion, dispel doubts, explain
wisdom and drive away the Shaytaan.
