Hazrat Mir Muhammad Ismail (ra) — Page 84
84 The rare spontaneity found in Bukhār - e - Dil , lives up to its meaning - “ Vapour of the Heart ”. Like his poetry, his prose too, reflects the same purity of heart, genuineness and enl ightenment. In th is respect indeed, the prose written by Ḥaḍrat Mir Ismail ra , equally deserves to be called the “ V apour of the H eart". His articles and essays deal with an array of topics, ranging from deeply mystical themes to “ Sīratun - Nabī ” (Biography of the Holy Prophet s as ) , and from scholarly subjects such as the “ Muqa ṭṭ a‘āt of the Qur’ān ” (Segregated Letters of the Holy Qur’ān ) to everyday issues such as personal hygiene. Following in the footsteps of his guide and mentor, the Promised Messiah as , Ḥaḍr at Mir Ismail ra wholeheartedly participated in the "Jihad of the Pen ” and proved that the pen is indeed mightier than the sword. He has left for us a treasure of insightful writings, truly worth reading.
