In explaining the reason of the paper, al-Qadri said in the book's preface :
With his (Stephen Hawking) passing away from the world, a debate in the Muslim communities around the globe infuriated grasping their own beliefs on whether the celebrated scientist would made it to Jannah / Paradise or not being the disbeliever. This happened to be the position taken in complete absence of facts and figures of the Islamic jurisprudence. Particularly in Pakistan, where the social fabric is divided into two main groups the Secular or Liberals and the Mullahs or the Conservatives, both the factions of society is until this date blaming each other of falsehood and trying to uphold their own belief and point of view.
