Maiurno, Sennar, Sudan
Book design by Muhammad Shareef
The ornate design on the cover is the hatumere` of the Quranic chapter called al-Ikhlaas and
comprises the essence of tawheed (Divine Unity) where Allah ta`ala says: Say: He Allah is One. Allah
is the Eternally Self Subsistent. He neither begets, nor was He begotten, and there is none like Him.
These five statements can be read in five directions representing: [1] the five fundamental principles of
Islam; [2] the fifth of the spoils of war; [3] the five People of the House: Muhammad, Ali, Fatima, alHassan and al-Hussayn; [4] the five Vicegerents: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, al-Hassan and
Muhammad ibn Abdullahi al-Mahdi; and [5] the five Spiritual Poles: Shaykh Abdl-Qaadir, Shaykh
Ahmad ar-Rufai`, Shaykh Ibrahim ad-Dasuqi, Shaykh Ahmad al-Badawi, and Shehu Uthman ibn
Fuduye`. The design also represents the Wu Xing (five elements) and their correspondence with the five
organs, the five colors, the five powers, and the five forces.
