The translator wishes to express his deep appreciation,
gratitude and warmest thanks to Mr. Hadi Abughazalah, and Mrs.
Kawther M. Hall, who, both, have greatly contributed to the
polishing, editing, formatting, revision and moral and mental
support while rendering this book into English.
This
rendering, I have to admit, was not possible without their
relentless efforts, sincere work to present the book in the
best possible fashion. Together we worked as one team whose
essential aim was to produce a useful and accurate piece of
literature that is of benefit to those who are interested in
learning about the view point of Islam on this subject.
I am truly
indebted to both of them. I can neither thank them enough, nor
reward them for what they have done, but I pray Allah
(subhanahu wa ta'ala), to bless them for their efforts and
reward them according to His Generosity.
