احلمداهلل حنمده ونستعينه ونستغفره ونؤمن به ونتوكل عليه، ونعوذ باهلل من شرور أنفسنا ومن سيأت أعمالنا من يهده اهلل فال مضل له، ومن يضلله فالهادي له، ونشهد أن الإله إالاهلل وحده الشريك له، ونشهد أن سيدنا وموالنا حممدا عبده ورسوله. أما بعد: أعوذباهلل من الشيطان الرجيم. بسم اهلل الرمحان الرحيم. َِّ ِ ِ ِ ِ إِ َّن الذ َين يـُبَايعُونَ َك إِنََّما يـُبَايعُ َون اللَّهَ يَُد اللَّه فـَْو َق أَيْد ِيه ْم فََم ْن نَ َك َث ِ ِ ِ ِ َّ ِ ِ فَإنََّما يـَْن ُك ُث َعلَى نـَْفسه َوَم ْن أَْوفَى بَما َع َاه َد َعلَْيهُ اللهَ فَ َسيـُْؤتيه أَ ْجًرا ِ َعظ ًيما. )الفتح:١٠( Translation: Indeed those who pledge their alle- giance to you, they, in reality, pledge their alle- giance to Allah (because they do this to please Al- lah). Allah’s hand is above theirs (Allah approves of it). So whoever breaches (the pledge) does so to his own detriment (because only he will suffer the consequences). Allah will soon grant a tremendous reward to the one who fulfills the pledge that he makes with Allah.(Al Fatah Ayah 10) Foreword
