"It is a great favour of Allah by virtue of Whose Beloved we received the blessed month of Ramadan. The month of Ramadan comes every year; however, very few people are aware of its etiquette and respect. As such, it has been my intention for quite some time that I should prepare something so as to remind those brothers who are unaware, which is now fulfilled. I am ill and it is the third fast of Ramadan [today]. Presented are the issues pertaining to Ramadan and Eid, that are neither too detailed nor too brief, and they should suffice, Allah-willing, and should be enough to fulfil [people’s] needs. Nevertheless, it is respectfully requested from the observant reader to let me know of any deficiency herein so as to enable corrections in the second edition.
Whatever I could muster in this haste is presented [before you]. I have spent only a few moments in three days in dedication to the religion of Allah (Most High) in this regard; may He (Most High) accept it from me by the grace of His Beloved . Āmīn – by the sanctity of Ṭāhā and Yāsīn, may Allah (Most High) bless him, his Progeny, and all his Companions. All praise is for Allah."
