Translators NoteAfter a long and persistent team effort, we have the honour ofpresenting to our readers/benefactors the English version ofthe third of ve volumes ofAsm al-Nabi al-Karm |,incorporating the original Arabic and Urdu translation. Thiscorresponds to the book printed and published under the closeeditorial supervision of Mian Muhammad Sha Gondal at Dr-ul-Esn (Faisalabad, Pakistan) on15 Shabn al-Muazzam1398 AH (21 July 1978 CE). The rst drafts of the basictranslation into English were accomplished by Imtiaz Ahmad

Quraishi with the help of Professor Ghulam Nabi Saqeb. Thetext has also received the careful attention of Dr Abdul Wahab,Qari Muhammad Khan, and Professor Muhammad Zaman, byway of crosschecking the translation, ascertaining referencesand verifying grammar and syntax. Sajeda Maryam Poswalassiduously gone through and improved upon the English textof the successive manuscripts. All along brother Imdad AllAhmad Poswal has applied his essential skills and has nallyset the whole by computer graphics. The Arabic and Urducalligraphy of the original book, corrected where needed forthis edition, has been done in hand by Late Haz MuhammadYousuf Sadidi whom the author most kindly honoured with

the title ofRas al-Qalam. May his soul rest in abiding peace!Amin! Lest we forget thanks to Al-Haj Mian MuhammadSaeed Kamboh and Abdul Razzaq Zaki are recorded for theinvaluable help and directions on preliminary artwork andprinting processes.

The reader will notice that we have copied MawlanaAbdullah Yusuf Alis translation for theQurnic references,and have attempted our own for the remaining Arabicreferences. This is because with the exception of thosequotations of theadth from the collection ofMuwaa ofImam Malik , the remainder were found either lackingor unavailable in English.

The ground rules followed in the transliteration of non-English words are a hybrid of both the British and Frenchsystems and a key of the two alphabets mainly used for writing

Arabic in English phonetically is printed at the end of the

book.This institution records its most sincere thanks to its

contributors, especially all those un-named who have so verygenerously contributed nancially towards its printing. Inactual fact we all feel privileged to have been assigned thisproject by its author, arat Abu Anees Muhammad Barkat Ali,whose supplications alone have brought it to fruition. Sadly,he passed away on 16 Ramadan ul-Mubarak 1417 AH (26January 1997 CE), leaving millions of his novices mourningthe tragic loss. The much felt void thus created in the realm ofFaqr will be hard to ll in by a spiritual man of his stature. Bethat as it may the Will of Allah the Almighty, we believe these

contributions, however innitesimal, are our credit for theDay of Judgement with AllhSub

Among many qualities of arat isha , one relatesto the fact that Allh the Almighty cleared her of all theaccusations made by rumour mongers. Allh the Almighty

sent down a revelation that cleared her reputation, proving herchastity, a revelation that Muslims shall recite in their prayersand within their mosques until the Day of Judgement. Allh theAlmighty bore witness that she was among the most honourableof women, guaranteeing her forgiveness and blessed living.He also made clear that accusation to her proved the goodnesswithin her. It was not based on evil, nor did it diminish herhonour. On the contrary, Allh the Almighty increased herdignity as a result, glorifying and clearing her name for thepeople of this world and for those in the Heavens. (Glory be toAllh the Almighty!) How sublime are her qualities!
