The short but very useful collection offered to the reader's attention contains information about the foundations and principles of religion and monotheism, to which the messengers called and which is spoken of in the Scriptures sent down from above, because none of those who do not profess monotheism will be saved. This book leads to a clear path of truth, as it explains various aspects and features of faith and talks about what destroys faith or contradicts its integrity. Each of the issues considered in it was supplied with appropriate arguments and instructions so that its essence was revealed in full. At the same time, I limited myself to using the arguments of the adherents of the Sunnah and did not cite statements following their passions and adhering to innovations, since they can only be mentioned in order to refute and criticize them from the position of the Sunnah. In addition, the great imams were engaged in identifying the shortcomings of such statements, writing special works with the aim of refuting and eliminating them. And although something can be cognized with the help of its opposite, after sunrise you no longer need to look for any arguments in favor of the coming of the day. The same applies to truth, because when it becomes clear, nothing but delusions can no longer appear. I have composed my work in the form of questions to draw the attention of the aspirant to knowledge, provided these questions with answers that clarify the essence of the matter, and called this book Milestones of the Sunnah, Marking the Views of the Religious Community That Will Be Saved and Victory, and I pray Allah to make it an expression of my sincere desire for His Highest Face, and to use what we have learned for our benefit, and to teach us that which will benefit us and which would be a manifestation of His grace and mercy. Indeed, He can do anything, He is kind to His slaves, and He knows everything about them, to return to Him, and to Him to decide the fate, He is our Patron, and this Patron and Protector is wonderful!
