8 The reader should note that all capitalised pronouns, nouns and adjectives such as His, Him, Dear, Darling, Belovèd, Love, the One, the Pure and the Friend are used strictly with reference to God. When used for the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) or for anyone else, such pronouns are never capitalised. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the gracious help of all those persons who reviewed this translation and offered valuable advice and suggestions. The comments received from these persons helped immensely in improving the final translation. Any shortcomings or errors that still remain are the sole responsibility of the translator.
