We beseech God...

We beseech God, the Most High, to accept our humble efforts and to enable us to enhance them under the auspices of Imam al-Mahdī, His vicegerent on the earth (may Allah expedite his advent). We express our gratitude to Ayatollah Meshkini (May Allah bless his soul), the author of the present book, and Mrs. Zeynab Biria, its translator. We also thank our colleagues who have participated in producing this work, especially the staff of the Translation Office.
