EDITOR'S NOTE
This work contains numerous words, terms and expressions of
Arabic which carry meanings, as understood by the author, which
are mostly quite different from their meanings as ordinarily
accepted in conventional Muslim thought. This aspect of the book
requires special attention from Arabic and non-Arabic speakers
alike. Therefore, in order to familiarise readers with those concepts,
the nearest English equivalents of Arabic have been given in the
glossary. The reader is strongly advised to consult the glossary for
clarity of the Qur’anic terms used in the book.
Note:
With reference to the Qur’anic verses cited in the book: The Surah
number precedes the Verse number. For example, (4:6) means
Surah number 4, Verse number 6.
