This is a picture of one of his books. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Generous Ruler, and peace be upon our master Muhammad and his family, with salutations. From the servant, in need of his Lord, Al-Mubdi bin Abd Allah, to the noble king, may Allah protect him from all disbelief, doubt, and argumentation from the people of Hell who fear Allah the King. It is not hidden from you that Allah is capable of all things. He has made this world a place of trial to distinguish the truthful in the abode of reward from the transient. Those who know Allah's power over all things do not imagine that anything happens in the universe except by His will and wisdom. If something happens, it is with perfect wisdom. Whoever turns away from Him out of ignorance of Him, He punishes him with a severe punishment, as the proofs of the messengers and saints who guide to Allah and what is with Him are clear. And whoever turns away from knowledge, his argument against him is like his sustenance, and his punishment is even more severe. You have already known in the letter you sent to the Dhurrun, first, that power belongs to Allah, and no one can overcome the religion of Allah except that He will overcome him. And by His mercy, He has saved you from falling into the predicament, and this indicates His guidance from darkness to light. Despite all this, the reality of the truth of this is apparent, and your inner self is aware of it. This is a response to the Dhurrun in the second letter. And you have turned away and turned away from Allah and the Hereafter only because of the life of this world, and it has become the extent of your knowledge. If your faith in Allah and what is with Him were true, you would not be seeking the base things of this world, such as wealth and possessions. And what you concealed in your heart, turning away from Allah and His guidance, was due to the hunger of the Dhurrun. And since you were a believer, you knew that those who believe in what is with Allah have endured what is more severe than what you have experienced, many times over. Their wealth has been spent for the sake of Allah, they have left their homes, and their children and loved ones have been separated from them, willingly and knowingly that this is for the sake of increasing their reward.
