x Jesus, Prophet of IslamThis work is the result of thirty years of study. My thanks are
due to Amat'ur-Rashid who went to the trouble of searching for
out-of-print books sold on the streets of many cities in the USA.
These books were unavailable in the libraries of Karachi, so the
help she gave me was of vital importance.
His Excellency Mr. Ahmad Jamjoom of [eddah visited me in
Karachi, and his encouragement and support were always avail
able to me whenever 1 was facing any difficulty.
Thanks are also due to His Eminence Shaykh Mahmoud Subhi
of [amiat Dawa Islamia in Tripoli for making it possible for me to
come to London in order to undertake the study of this subject in
depth.
ln London, 1 met His Eminence Shaykh 'Abd al-Qadir as-Sufi.
At every step, he extended his helping hand to me. This resulted in
the collaboration of Mr. Ahmad Thomson with me. He helped me
to structure the collected material and without him work would
have been painfully slow. Hajj 'Abd al-Haqq Bewley was always
ready with useful suggestions and advice,
The affection and heart-warming friendship 1 received from Dr.
Ali Aneizi cannot be described, only deeply felt.
Lastly, in the words of Qur'an,
Nothing from me except with the help of Allaho..-u... .1. ~ I-id '--.:)-..-JY .. L. J
