The name of Sufism" is neither new nor untouched but has been reliable, honorable and respectable in every era. Ever since I started working on Ahl-e-Hadith Sufism, Ahl-e-Hadith friends and sincere followers have supported me wholeheartedly, which surprised me because I did not realize that Ahl-e-Hadith sincere followers and lovers would support me so much. 

Among them, especially noteworthy, are those Ahl-e-Hadith gentlemen whose relationship with this poor man is one of allegiance and devotion. They considered my mission as their own, and despite being adamant about Ahl-e-Hadith, they worked alongside me in highlighting the Sufism of the predecessors of Ahl-e-Hadith, that is, those for whom we are called Salafis. 

 They ran, worked, and met according to my instructions. Their mission is to transfer the text of each individual from pen to paper. In other words, two prominent men have supported me in my Ahle Hadith endeavors, one of whom is Maulana Syed Muhammad Adel Shiraz bin Syed Kabiruddin (deceased, Tasbeeh Khana, Lahore) and the other is my very dear 'Azizi Dr. Muhammad Usman Salafi' who has not left me alone in my sincere efforts and hard work day and night.

I am grateful to both of these men, and for this book, I am especially grateful to Dr. Muhammad Usman Salafi, and I pray from my heart that Allah Almighty will make him my partner in further spreading the true Sufism. Just as we are together in this world, may Allah Almighty bring us together in Paradise in the same way. Ameen, Ameen!
