The Turkish original of the book Se’âdet-i Ebediyye consists of three parts, all of which add up to more than a thousand pages. We have translated the entire book into English and have published six individual fascicles. Se’âdet-i Ebediyye is a book prepared according to the Hanafî Madhhab. There is not a bit of knowledge or word which does not confirm the creed of the Ahl-i Sunnat and Jamâ’at in this book. This is the first fascicle. We invoke Allâhu ta’âlâ to help us deliver it to our dear readers. There are two hundred and forty (240) chapters in Se’âdet-i Ebediyye, and it consists of three parts. Forty-one of the ninety-eight chapters in the first part, thirty-four of the seventy-two chapters in the second part and thirty-three of the seventy chapters in the third part are translations of the letters in the Persian original of Maktûbât (The Letters) by Hadrat Imâm-i Rabbânî ‘rahmat-Allâhi ’alaih’ . A few of them are translations of letters by Hadrat Muhammad Ma’sûm ‘rahmat-Allâhi ’alaih’. The remaining chapters are taken from many valuable books. Maktûbât by Hadrat Imam-î Rabbânî consists of three volumes (I, II, III) and they contain five hundred and thirty six letters. All of them were published in two volumes in Pakistan in 1392 [1972 A.D.], and it was printed by offset in 1397 [1977 A.D.] in Istanbul. Maktûbât by Hadrat Muhammad Ma’sûm, his son, is also of three volumes (IV, V, VI). The volume number and the number of each letter translated is given below. The additions in brackets are explanations made by the translator, (i.e. Hadrat Hüseyn Hilmi Işık 'quddisa sirruh'.). Subjects relating to belief of ahl as-Sunnat are quoted from famous Ahl as-Sunnat scholars' books.

ealize his superiority will mean to realize and to believe all the<br />
superior traits. This means to say that a person who denies this<br />
exalted Prophet and who dislikes Islam, which he brought, is the<br />
worst, the basest of ummats and people. It was declared in the<br />
ninety-eighth âyat of Sûrat-ul-Tawba: “The disbelief and<br />
irreligiousness of the illiterate is more vehement than that of<br />
others.”<br />
The meaning of two Persian couplets:<br />
Muhammad ‘’alaihi’s-salâm’, born in Arabia,<br />
Is the dearest here and in the Hereafter!<br />
Let them be underground, crushed, ruined<br />
If they don’t wish being dust and soil at his door!<br />
Gratitude be to Allâhu ta’âlâ, who sends all blessings and<br />
favours, for it is seen that you like and thoroughly believe this<br />
Religion and its Messenger (Hadrat Muhammad), and that you<br />
repent for your unsuitable behaviour. May Allâhu ta’âlâ increase<br />
this awareness of yours! Âmîn.<br />
Gratitude be to Allâhu ta’âlâ that a very good belief and<br />
thought for Islam and for its owner ‘’alaihissalâtu wassalâmu<br />
wattehiyya’ is seen on you very easily, and a continuous<br />
repentance for your unsuitable deeds falls into your lot. May<br />
Allâhu ta’âlâ grant you more.<br />
Secondly, I would like to add that Shaikh Mustafâ, who has<br />
brought this letter to you, comes from the family of Qâdi Sharîh.<br />
The children of that pure family have been endeared and<br />
respected in this country. Materially, they have led a simple life.<br />
Shaikh Mustafâ, the aforesaid, has not a salary. For this reason, he<br />
is on his way towards being a soldier. He has the necessary official<br />
papers with him. It is hoped that he will get over this problem with<br />
your help and obtain inner peace. Let me not write more, lest I<br />
should cause you a headache. Tell the Grand Vizier his problem<br />
exactly and request him to solve it so that he will be safe against<br />
this discordance and have inner peace. Wassalâm wal ikrâm.<br />
