13 — FIRST VOLUME, 312th LETTER
This letter, written to answer the questions asked by Mîr
Muhammad Nu’mân ‘quddisa sirruh’, informs that it is not
good to raise one’s finger when sitting in namâz:
Thanks be to Allâhu ta’âlâ, Who creates all classes of
beings, all creatures, Who keeps them in existence, and Who
sends them what they need! Salât, salâm and benedictions be
over the highest of Prophets, Muhammad Mustafa ‘alaihissalâtu
wassalâm’, to his brother Prophets, to angels and to those who
are honoured with following him! The valuable letter which you
sent through Molla Mahmûd has arrived and made us happy.

made at various times, and today’s twelve-staired minbar was
sent by (the Ottoman) Sultan Murâd Khan III from Istanbul in
998 Hijri.]

earth is Ka’ba-i Mu’azzama [together with the mosque around it
which is called Masjid-i harâm]. Next comes the Rawda-i
muqaddasa, which is in Medina. Thirdly comes the blessed city
of Mekka. This means to say that it will be correct to say that
the Rawda-i Mutahhara is higher than Mekka.
