xviii Ā'ĪNA-E-KAMĀLĀT-E-ISLĀM―DĀFI‘UL-WASĀWIS Publishing a book of this magnitude and calibre demands a tre- mendous effort and I would personally like to extend my sincere and heartfelt gratitude to all those who contributed towards its success. An initial translation of a significant portion of the Urdu section was car- ried out by Qadi 'Abdul-Hamid and published serially in The Sunrise magazine. It was then revised by Wakālat-e-Taṣnif. The Arabic parts were translated by Wakālat-e-Isha'at and reviewed by Ibrahim Ikhlaf and Umar Nasser. The translation was finalized by Munawar Ahmed Saeed with valuable support from Dr. Waseem Ahmad Sayed, Naser- ud-Din Shams, Bushra Shahid, and Mirza Abdul-Wahab. The team that contributed to this immense task in Additional Wakālat-e-Tasnif con- sisted of Hassan Faiyaz Khan, Luqman Tahir Mahmood, Naveed Malik Qureshi, Jaleel Ahmad Akbar, Fouzan Mansoor Pal, Tariq Amjed, Sardar Anees Ahmad, Rawan Malas, Nasira Naseem, Amjad Mahmood Khan, Naeemuddin Tahir, Salman Muhammad Sajid, Sabahat Ahmad Cheema, Asifah Wahab Mirza, and several others. I am also grateful to the various departments who were consulted for research and finaliza- tion—particularly the Taṣnīf and Ishā'at Departments, the Arabic and Persian Desks, and the Research Cell. May Almighty Allah reward them and their families for their selfless services in this regard, Āmin. al-Haj Munir-ud-Din Shams Additional Wakilut-Taşnif, London July 2025
