This fright often causes them to close the Book, and thus close to themselves that ocean of wisdom and blessings. I hope this book has served the purpose of providing a comprehensive image of the Glorious Qur'an, the perfected and the unique Divine Book, so that the reader may have some idea about what he or she should expect from this Noble Scripture. No doubt there are shortcomings in this treatise, as we, the created, are limited in our abilities.
This ends all that was intended to be included in this work, though there is no end when it comes to writing about the Noble Qur'an. May Allah bless this service, and all the good intentions that have been my motivations for it. Without His consent and will, nothing could have been accomplished. So, thanks to Almighty Allah for His graceful inspiration and strength with which we have been able to produce this work. He is Sufficient and the best Guide.
May the peace and blessings of Allah the High, be on all nabiys of Allah, on the seal of the prophets and his kinsfolk, and upon those who transcend in following His Path. 15 Sha’ban[^1] 1416, L.H.C. 17 Day 1374, S.H.C 7 January 1996, A.D. Praise and thanks are for Allah, The Lord of the Worlds [^1]: This book was almost completed some six months ago, needing only a final review. For reasons unknown to me then, a host of pressing matters prevented me from accomplishing this small task.
Irritated (naively), I set the target of 27th of Rajab for completion, a noble Holy Day, commemorating the Mab’ath of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and the receipt of the first wahy, see A) 19 on page 27. But serious unexpected matters still prevented me from finalising the work even by this date. Today, I was pleasantly astonished when I put 15th of Sha’ban down as completion date! This is not a coincidence.
I believe Allah the Exalted intended this sacred and blissful completion date for this work, and I did not know it. I cannot thank Him enough for granting me such a great blessing. The 27th of Rajab and the 15th of Sha’ban are both very honourable and important sacred dates. They both are as vital as ever today.
