بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ وَ بِه۪ نَسْتَع۪ينُ

IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MERCIFUL, THE COMPASSIONATE

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَم۪ينَ وَ الصَّلَاةُ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلٰى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلٰٓى اٰلِه۪ وَ صَحْبِه۪ٓ اَجْمَع۪ينَ

And from Him do we seek help. All praise be to Allah, the Lord and Sustainer of All the Worlds, and blessings and peace be upon our master Muhammad, and on all his Family and Companions.

[Brother! You wanted a few words of advice from me, so listen to a few truths included in eight short stories, which since you are a soldier, are in the form of comparisons of a military nature. I consider my own nafs to need advice more than anyone and at one time I addressed it at some length with eight Words inspired by eight verses of the Qur'an from which I had benefited. Now I shall address my nafs with these same Words, but briefly and in the language of ordinary people. Whoever wishes may listen together with me.]
