In my book, I have considered what I have considered as a religion, from the study and research of at least the quarter-century. Think of each of his departments as a result of the favor of the Lord and the benefit of the thought of my Jalil-ul-Qadr teacher, Imam Amin Ahsan Islahi. If you see something weak in it, add it to my deficiency of knowledge.
Various topics included are Imaniyaat, Qanoon E Ibaadat, Aqlaqiat, Qanoon E Moashiraat, Qanoon E Siasat, Qanoon E Jihaad, etc.
