Seadet-i Ebediyye - Endless Bliss First Fascicle
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.

Muhammad ‘’alaihis-salâm’ entails belief in all the other Prophets<br />
as well. Being a Muslim begets a civilization. And civilization, in its<br />
turn, does not mean to make jet planes and electronic devices; it<br />
means to use them not for perpetration of cruelty and oppression,<br />
but for serving mankind. Some European and American scientists<br />
are successful in their branches when they retreat from their<br />
religion. In contrast, some idiots with Muslim names experience<br />
failure when they get away from Islam. The reasons deserve an indepth<br />
analysis.]<br />

At the time of dawn His Compassion showers onto all countries, the worldover;<br />
At that time will your heart become purified; invoke Allah, the Beautiful!<br />
Make dhikr of the Name of Allah, and thereby let your soul and your heart rejoice it!<br />
Sob and bewail, as does the Philomel, invoke Allah, the Beautiful!<br />
