One of the purposes of this book is to define the “perfected faith” one can attain through turning to Allah for every deed, striving to earn the approval and friendship of Allah and displaying moral perfection under all circumstances. Another purpose is to make it clear that nothing hinders man from attaining the moral perfection displayed by prophets, provided that he fears and reveres no one but Allah and strives sincerely for His cause. Over and above this, the intention in writing this book is to stress that putting forth a “sincere” effort to attain the hereafter is a praiseworthy act in Allah’s sight. In one verse, Allah states the following about this issue:
But as for anyone who desires the hereafter, and strives for it as he ought to, being a true believer, shall have his endeavours be gratefully acknowledged (Surat al-Isra’, 19)
