The original book was written by Allah and my great grandfather, Ibn Kathir, wrote the Tafseer, and the Journey to Paradise . Many writers have copied the book without giving credit to the original authors. Furthermore, most have removed The Quranic scripture. Allah appreciates their honesty and concern for others. But to water down God's Word is not correct. Do they distribute the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of this world and have raised some of them above others in degrees [of rank] that they may make use of one another for service. But the mercy of your Lord is better than whatever they accumulate. At a time in which an individual is beset with trials from every periphery and within, comes this comforting book rooted in the commandments of God and the excellent guidance and examples of the people that came before us. The book is full of practical advice on how to replace unhappiness with a positive outlook on life.
