It is truly one of the most valuable books in its place. The issue of Imamate is a great matter among the important religious issues, so a special chapter was dedicated to it in the books of Kalam and Aqeedah, and it was discussed in the books of Usul (fundamentals) generally, and in the books of Shariah Policy specifically, with what suits it from the chapters of Fiqh. Passing days only increases its importance, especially in our current era full of strange phenomena. Oh Imam and Mujahid Abdullah ibn Al-Mubarak, who says: "And may Allah have mercy, if not for the Imams, we would not have safe paths, and the weakest among us would be a prophet for the strongest." As for the second part of "Al-Ghiyathi"... it was clarified and explained by its author, Imam Al-Juwayni, who says: "I wonder what the refuge of the servants is when corruption overflows, and creation replaces moderation with excess and deficiency, and Muslims are plagued by a scholar they cannot trust for his corruption, and a ascetic they cannot follow for his deviation?! Will there remain a path of guidance after that, or will people drown in each other, neglecting their purpose, rushing towards the pits of ruin?" Furthermore, the esteemed Professor Dr. Abdul-Azim Mahmoud Al-Deeb, may Allah have mercy on him, did not stop at merely verifying the text of this great book and presenting it free from errors of misreading and misunderstanding. He also provided a comprehensive scientific introduction, including thorough studies about the subject of the book and its scientific struggles in bringing it out, highlighting the personality of Imam Al-Haramain in a way that leaves no room for more. Al-Minhaj (the approach) is proud to present this precious book... to thank Allah for revealing this noble journey, adorned with the garments of verification, and shining with the beauty of accuracy, so that it may serve as a guiding light for both ruler and governed. This book deserves to be studied in political departments at universities worldwide, so they may make it a beacon guiding their paths in this important field. And Allah is the ultimate guide.
