Indeed all praise is for Allah (alone); We praise Him, and we seek His
assistance and we seek forgiveness from Him. We seek refuge in Allah from
the evil within ourselves and our evil actions. Whomsoever Allah guides, then
none can misguide him, and whomsoever Allah misguides, then none can
guide him. I testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah
alone, having no partner, and I testify that Muhammad (sal-Allahu 'alayhe wa
sallam) is His slave and His Messenger.
As for what proceeds...
Then indeed, I have mentioned the subject of fasting in some of my books,
and (now) wish to single it out (for mention and discussion) in a separate book
due to its importance. (In doing so), I have included more topics and
supplications so that the reader can benefit from them, especially in the
blessed month of Ramadan.
I ask Allah to grant it beneficial to the Muslims and I render it sincerely for His
sake.
