Publisher’s speech
The major issue of religion is a history of human history and a continuation of the world. It has accompanied the length and width of time, so that there is no period and no place for the truth of religion to be present. Religion is born with man and remains with the man to all places and he not releases him and has nothing but a human soul.
Religion, like natural phenomena, is sometimes at the peak and sometimes in the nadir. Standing up with the Prophets and the favourites of God, it stands with their sunset it fall. When the goddesses are victorious, religion is jubilation in the minds and tongues, in wisdom and hearts, in verbs and fingers. And whenever tyrannies and devils flaunts and have the illusion of victory, religion is sad, it takes refuge in a corner and the lashes of ignorance and misleading, whipping its subtle body.
In our era, religion is not separate or except from this continuous tradition; until the great Islamic Revolution, because of the presence of the oppressors and tyrants and despots, religion went to the general scene of humanity completely eliminate, but with the uprising and courageous action of the right-handers, it returned to the scene of the community and it present with a new and fresh outfit, and with a special refresher in various fields. It came with it's the innate freshness and subtlety enlightens the society with all its facets and the human spirit with all its appearances and with its purity, it will wash all the turbidities.
But two important factors have always prevented this movement, and, it eliminates until these two, the presence of religion is not strong, and it may lead to the retreat of religion and personal and social movement.
The first barrier is internal; the truth religion is a abstraction and spiritual (not material), until it is not looker’s eyes to the pure substance, and not seen with the weapon of abstraction and wisdom and sound heart. The veil of nature and dust of material does not give material opportunity for pure intuition and pure look. The only migration of nature and impure materiality is that it enables the presence of the religion to be known as it is.
Those who will through feeling and experience or from the limited window of nature, cannot achieve the truth beyond the nature of religion, thus, they always see religion in a halo of ambiguity and darkness, they judge on this basis; Sometimes they judge to the incompleteness and inadequacy of religion and trying to overthrow this incomplete and unnecessary truth and sometimes they judge holiness and transformation of the of descent religion, and they respect religion and more honorable than they descend to the natural world.
 In our day, this intellectual process and this narrow-minded view on the East and the West is a shadow of nature. And has occupied the intellectual and mental domains of societies, especially the western communities; though its shadows have infected and darkened the minds of some open-minded in our society.

 The second obstacle is the outside; those who realized the power and ability of religion and found that religion has a strong and rigidity nature, in the text of religion, all the seditions have define and the emphasis on the struggle against seditious people is explicitly and definitively emphasized and they are also seeking to provide false wishes and desires for the colonial world and the exploitation of the people. With their military, political, industrial and eclectic strength, they have the will to abuse and dominate the societies and they want to eliminate religion in every way from the human realm and to obliterate man from both the inside and outside of the religion: They will go on fighting with you so they may turn you back from your religion if they can. Al-Baqarah  (217)So they can disarm him and dominate him from the brain to the mine.

This is where the two groups, either willingly or unwillingly, share a common purpose, and they both move towards the overthrow of the structure of religion and the breaking of the roots of religion.

From this point of view, the mission of the religionists and those who regard religion as life water and live with it and die without it is more necessary; by hand, he must remove the first obstacle so that inside the light of religion, it not sacrifice the appear to be made minds and thoughts of the unprofessional and unconscious and with the other hand, he put down the second barrier and confronted it. This is where the weapons of ijithad and jihad jointly attack the enemy; this is where the weapons of ijithad and jihad jointly attack the enemy and the scientists’ pen with blood of the martyrs is a devastating flood to eliminate any scientific intrigue and pragmatic chaos.

The present book, which is based on the thoughts and works of Ayatullah Javadi Amoli, is intended to explain and clarify the light of religion and the guidance of Islam.
