In the beginning, when I wrote this book, the situation was very different from now. Thereafter, the sudden manifestation of the providence of Allah [the Almighty] made me, the humblest of men, aware—like Musa [Moses]—of a world which I was totally unaware of before. In other words, this humble one was also wandering, like Hazrat Ibn-e-Imran, in the dark night of my own ideas during which I once heard the voice from the unseen, [‘Verily, I am your Lord’], and such mysteries were then revealed [to me] as were beyond the reach of reason and imagination. Therefore, the Lord of all the worlds is now the Guardian and Manager of this book, both manifestly and intrinsically. I have no knowledge of His will as to its size and volume. The reality is that the extent to which the blessings of the divine origin of Islam have been manifested up to Part IV is sufficient as conclusive arguments. I hope that with His grace and munificence, He will continue to grace me with His support from the unseen until He totally dissipates the darkness of doubts and suspicions.
Although my humble self is not sure about my own life, I am extremely glad that the Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining, who is free from destruction and death, is the Supporter of the religion of Islam until the Day of Judgment and that His grace upon Khatamul-Anbiya’ [the Seal of the Prophets], may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is such as has never been bestowed upon any Prophet before.
Here, I am obligated to thank those good-natured believers who have supported the publication of this book to this very day. May Allah the Almighty shower His mercy upon all of them; and, for every single moment in which they exerted efforts to support His Faith [of Islam] with their heartfelt love, may God the Benevolent bestow grace upon them in the very same manner.
Some people have considered this book to be merely a matter of financial give and take, whereas God has opened the hearts of others and established their hearts upon sincerity and goodwill. But the latter category, until now, consists of those who have very limited financial resources. The same has been the way of Allah with His holy Prophets, that only the weak and the indigent initially inclined towards them. If it is the desire of Allah the Almighty, He will also open the heart of some resourceful person to bring this task to its conclusion.
[And Allah has the power to do all things].
