Page 7:
This compilation is almost purely narration (naql) i.e. it consists almost entirely of quotations, extracts and excerpts. We have minimized the use of our own words because of two reasons. Firstly, what is collected here is not our personal opinion. Secondly, the statements of our elders and senior scholars obviate the need for our comments. Considering their knowledge (‘ilm) and God-wariness (taqwa), their understanding and commentary of the Shari’ah far outweigh what we can produce. After all, we are only ‘blind followers’ (muqallideen). Although we have relied on quotations, we have amended some texts to facilitate comprehension and/or for brevity. 
Books and theses on Taqleed are numerous. This document however is intended to be a textbook on this subject. It is only in educating ourselves in the basics of this religious requirement that we can thwart the menace of Salafism. Allah is the giver of Guidance and He is the best of Helpers.
Wa Salam.
Jami’ah Masihiyya Ashrafiyya,
