Acknowledgment

Endeared Syed Ali Muhammad Naqvi (Aligarh) August son of an August father Syedal-ulema Syed Ali Naql Al Naqvi known as Qibla “Naqqan Saheb” had undertaken to publish English Version of this book from Aligarh. While the translation was in progress, I reached Aligarh after itinerating to Delhi, Azamgarh and Calcutta.

Syed Ali Muhammad Naqvi for some reasons gave the translated portion and the remaining papers of the book to me and suggested that it was better if the remaining portion was translated in Karachi, the book published from Karachi and the files of the composed manuscript then be sent to him for publishing from Aligarh also, thus on my return, I brought the entire matter with me.

In Karachi Mr. Syed Ansar Husayn Naqvi proved to be an associate of confidence who not only translated some of the remaining portion but also got the Qur’anic Ayats composed in Arabic Script and translated them into English.

He at the same time got the Persian and Urdu Verses composed in Urdu script, versified them to make the book complete in all aspects and to keep its originality and eloquence maintained. Mr. Ansar Husayn was in close contact with me for such advices which he deemed necessary to equipoise the two pans of the scale, that is, to match the English version with the original Book as much as possible.

I am grateful and thankful to both Syed Ali Muhammad Naqvi (Alig) and Mr. Syed Ansar Husayn Naqvi with core of my heart. May God remunerate them for this noble work!

In my office, Mr. Muhammad Yousuf and Mr. Ameer Abbas put their wholehearted and best efforts in completing the composing work for which I gave my appreciation and extend my all-good wishes to them.

I confidently hope that our small but sincere endeavor will meet assent of God Almighty who will acknowledge our prayer and supplications

Ameen Ya Ilahi Al-Aalameen.

I willl grant the Dua the “voice” inviting my attention, just call on Me.

Your Lord Says:

Call unto me, summon me and I will answer you. (40:60).

Most humbly,

Syed Ali Akbar Rizvi
