Haqiqatul-Wahi (The Philosophy of Divine Revelation) — Page xvi
xvi HAQIQATUL-WAḤI-THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION May Allah reward them all abundantly in this world and the Hereafter. Amin. may It be noted that the book contains some poems in Arabic which have been translated into Urdu and Persian in the original book itself. Our English translation is based on these translations. The work of the English translation section was carried out under the auspices of Haḍrat Khalifatul Masiḥ Vaba. My humble self had the blessing of submitting to beloved Ḥudūraba the various translation issues to seek his guidance. Nizārat-e-Isha'at, Wakālat-e-Taṣnīf, and Research Cell were also consulted during finalization and research. May Allah reward all of them for their wholehearted cooperation, Amin. The first edition was published in 2018. However, multiple reasons have necessitated a second edition. Foremost among these reasons is the demand which depleted the first edition stock much earlier than antic- ipated. Additionally, the original book, which was published during the lifetime of the Promised Messiah as, did not contain Arābs (diacriti- cal marks) on the Arabic text. These are now inserted where applicable. Lastly, the index entries have been expanded to considerably increase their utility and relevance. Apart from various central departments of the Jama'at who helped to update this edition, the following members also assisted in this edition: Bushra Shahid, Rawan Malas, and Nasira Naseem. The Promised Messiah as has appealed in the name of God to Muslims, Āryas, and Christians respectively to study this book care- fully from beginning to end. I pray that the study of Ḥaqiqatul-Waḥi strengthens the faith of every Ahmadi Muslim and becomes a source of enlightenment for all seekers after truth.
