Melting Pot of Sins A Family Divided: The Hereafter

By Gamel Abdullah

First I must give praise and thanks to Allah for without his guidance I would be lost. Second, I give praise and respect to the planter of my physical being, my father Nassardin Abdullah and to the womb that bore me, my mother Sayeeda Abdullah and also to her mother that bore her Doris Garrett, my grandmother who has been there for us since the beginning of my knowledge of her. I give thanks to Allah for my wife Tanya and my sons Kareem Ali, Raheem Hameed, Tariq Jalil and also my stepdaughter Natisha Reid who I pray for each time I prostrate myself to Allah. I pray, "O Allah guide and protect my family for you are the best to guide and protect, and lead them to yourself and make me a good example for them. May the peace and blessing of Allah be with all my brothers and sisters on this day until the hereafter. Sura 6 Ayat 32 says: What is the life of this world but play and amusement? But best is the home in the hereafter, for those who are righteous. Will ye not then understand? My purpose for writing this book is to help those searching for their purpose and reason for existence in this life on this earth. By The use of the holy Qur'an I pray to Allah that this will be achieved. Here is a verse of this great book. Sura 3 Ayat 7 says:

He it is who has sent down to thee the book: in it are verses
Basic or fundamental (of established meaning);
They are the foundation of the book: others are allegorical.
But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part
Thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord, and searching
For its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden
Meanings except Allah. And those who are firmly grounded
In knowledge say: "we believe in the book; the whole of it
Is from our lord: "and none will grasp the message except
Men of understanding.

My plan is this, to bring the basic message in the Qur'an to the surface of this book without most of the allegorical parts so that the seeker can grasp the message of Allah easier but also develop a hunger for the knowledge in the great book of enlightenment. The seeker of Allah's message when reading this book should also have the Qur'an with them to verify that I am correct, for I am just a man and Allah knows best. May the peace and blessing of Allah be with you.
