References to the Holy Quran contain the name of the Surah [i.e. chapter] followed by a chapter:verse citation, e.g. al-Jumu’ah, 62:4, and counts Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim [In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful] as the first verse in every chapter it appears.
Explanatory footnotes are clearly marked as being from the Publisher throughout the book.
The name of Muhammad(sa), the Holy Prophet of Islam, has been followed by the symbol (sa), which is an abbreviation for the salutation sallallahu alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
The names of other Prophets and Messengers are followed by the symbol (as), an abbreviation for alayhis-salam (on whom be peace).
The names of the companions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad(sa) or of the Promised Messiah(as) are followed by the symbol (ra), which is an abbreviation for the salutation radiyallu anhu/anha/anhum (may Allah be pleased with him/her/them).
The names of deceased pious Muslims who are not companions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad(sa) or of the Promised Messiah(as) are followed by the symbol (rh), which is an abbreviation for rahmatullahi alayhi/alayha/alayhim (may Allah have mercy upon him/her/them).
In instances, the actual salutations have been set out in full, but wherever this is not the case, they should nevertheless, be understood as being repeated in full in each case.
