Introduction to the Italian edition as yet unpublished
This series of talks by Shaykh Abdalqadir as-Sufi was the turning point for the Deen of Islam in our time. A bold statement, but none the less not without merit. It is based upon the observation of the decline of sovereign Islam under the Ottomans and its final dissolution with the fall of the last great Sultan and Khalif of the Muslims, Abdul Hamid Khan II, breaking up the unified Ummah of Sayyidina Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallim, into separate nation states operating under kafir international law.

All these only led to the obscuring of Islam as the only clarification of man’s existence and purpose on this planet in this time and any yet to come.
Shaykh Dr. Abdalqadir as-Sufi states in the beginning of the preface to the publication of these talks, sweeping aside all these erroneous efforts to include Islam within the modern atheist, usurious world:
