The word Jacob son of Isaac Al-Hadrami

Othman Said Al-Daniti Researcher Dr. Hatim Saleh Al-Damen Introduction In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Introduction Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and peace and blessings be upon the noblest of His creation, the trustworthy Arab Prophet. After; this is a precious book published for the first time, and it is a collection of Yaqub Al-Hadrami Al-Basri who died in 205 AH. The author of the book is Abu Amr Al-Dani who died in 444 AH. This collection is issued at a time when we are living in a bitter reality that distresses scholars, which is the theft of their efforts in research that they have dedicated years to. Every book published is stolen after a few months, and it bears the names of paid individuals who have lost conscience and ethics, and who have accepted humiliation and disgrace for themselves, living off forbidden money. It is regrettable that some of them have taken titles like "Sheikh," and some have written "Permitted in Recitations," and a section of these thieves have targeted books of recitations, distorting their content with heinous errors. The Noble Qur'an is innocent of these people, and Allah — Glorified and Exalted — will hold them accountable for their heinous deed. The publishers of these stolen books have taken false fronts claiming to be related to Islam and knowledge, but Islam and knowledge are free from them. People's morals have changed; modesty has been lost, loyalty has decreased, scholars have been wronged, consciences have died, nations have been bought, and rights have been oppressed. I call upon scholars and officials to expose these thieves and prevent these libraries from participating in the annual book fairs, for whoever is safe from punishment has behaved badly. It is a mere venting of frustration, and the one to whom I complain is Allah, and there is no power and no strength except with Allah. He is the best protector and the best helper. 25 Dhu al-Qi'dah 1428 AH Hatim Saleh Al-Damen
