Preface to 2nd edition
All praise is for Alla>h and may He praise and send
peace upon our beloved Messenger, his family,
companions and all those who follow his way.
It is by Alla>h’s favour that He has granted a
widespread acceptance to this book in all the
languages it has been translated into from the
original in Arabic. The number of copies printed of
the English version alone runs into a number of
hundred thousand copies, and all praise is for Alla>h.
This new edition of the English version has been
updated to reflect the current Arabic version which
is in its 23rd edition. There are a few changes, not
too many, and some errors that were found in the
first edition of the translation have also been
corrected.
