As for what follows:

Dear, beloved Sisters in Al-Islâm

We at DTSSBC was excited to publish this book by our beloved Shaikh Ahmad An-Najmi (may Allâh have mercy on him), which was a lecture on such an excellent topic “Sincere Advice & Guidance to the Muslim Women and the rulings of the evils of the Wedding Celebrations” especially, during these times where you find the sisters confused about what it is that we (the women) should be doing concerning the affairs of our Deen (religion). So much so; that you have sisters turning to drugs, imitating the disbelieving women in their dress and mannerism intermingling, dating and marrying non-Muslim men; as a result from all this you find them leaving Islâm all together Allâh’s aide is sought!

Furthermore, you find the young Muslim women not learning what Allâh has obligated upon them (who is their Lord, who is their Messenger, Salât, Zakât, Saum and Hajj), as well as commanding the good and forbidding the evil, but instead you find them following he said and she said and they think that this is knowledge, but in reality this is just a distraction from Shaitân and his party.

This is why we felt that it was very important to have this work translated for the English speaking readers; we are never to short in receiving reminders from the people of knowledge concerning the affairs of our Deen (religion). Those of us who say that we follow the way of the Salaf-us-Saalih (pious predecessors), will read this book and reflect upon the many benefits that the Shaikh (may Allâh have mercy on him), brings concerning our Deen (religion) and insha’allah will implement them.

We must say that the Shaikh (may Allâh have mercy on him), gives excellent advice for the Muslimah (female Muslim) on the importance of listening and obeying Allâh and His Messenger  This advice can be very useful for the Muslim woman if she chooses to follow it.

The Shaikh (may Allâh have mercy on him), also brings about clarity on many topics pertaining to marriage celebrations which we tend to fall into not knowing if it is from the Book and the Sunnah.

In all we hope that this book will be of great benefit to our beloved sisters in Al-Islâm and we ask that you continue to support us in our efforts to educate and cultivate the women of this Ummah (Islâmic nation).

Barakallahu Feekum
