Preface All Praise is due to Allah, and His peace and blessings on the final Prophet Muhammad, upon his good and pure family, and upon all of his noble companions.
Praise be to Allah, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and it is the most rapidly prevalent among people. Indeed, one out of every five persons on earth is a Muslim. I have been working in Islamic Office for more than eight years and thank to Allah hundreds of people converted to Islam during this period . I found that it is our duty to take care and follow up those new Muslims. For this reason, I have compiled and prepared this book which consists of all the basic matters ,the New Muslims need . This book is a modest attempt to help the new Muslim to understand and apply Islam correctly based on the Quran and Sunnah. It was prepared in an easy and systematic way to strength and preserve their belief.

Foreword of Dr.Saad Bin Abdullah Albreak The Chairman of The Islamic Office in New Industrial City. In the name of Allah the most Gracious The Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our prophet Mohammed, and his family and companions. My dear brother, Allah preferred us by mind, in which we can distinguish between right and wrong, between good and evil. So we should thank Allah for that and following his commandments. No doubt that Islam is the religion which Allah has chosen for us and it is the only way of happiness here and in the other life . Here are the most important commandments:- Worship Allah only. Be honest Obey your parents. Be kind with your wife and children. Visit your relatives. Give charity to the poor and help the needy. Respect the others. Do Your job perfectly. Don’t break your promises. Always smile. These commandments were revealed to us from Allah the most merciful to show us the right way of salvation.
