Sahaba - The Blessed
At the beginning of the book (The Blessed) superiority of Ashâb of our prophet, Muhammad ´alayhissalâm, is explained along with how unjust and ignorant are those who defame Ashâb-ı-kirâm. Besides, the meaning of ijtihâd is explained. In the part of cautioning, an answer is given to the book (Hüsniyye) written by an enemy of Islam. In another part, biographies of great savants of Islam - hadrat Imâm-ı Rabbâni and hadrat Sayyed Abdülhakîm-ı Arvâsi - are explained. In the part Two Apples of the Eye of Muslims superiority of hadrat Abû Bakr and hadrat Omar is explained; in the part The First Fitna in Islam events between Ashâb-ı-kirâm are explained beautifully from the pen of hadrat Imâm-ı Rabbâni Ahmad Fârûkî Sarhandi who explains that to love all of Ashâb-ı-kirâm is a fundamental condition of being Ahl-i-sunnat.

CONVERSION OF THE HIJRI LUNAR YEAR<br />
into THE CHRISTIAN YEAR<br />
A hijrî lunar year is 10.875 days shorter than a Christian year. A<br />
hijrî year begins approximately eleven days earlier in the Christian<br />
year following the Christian year in which the previous hijrî year<br />
began. Once every 33.58 hijrî years, which means once every 32.58<br />
Christian years, the beginning of the first one of two successive hijrî<br />
years coincides with the initial ten days of January, and the second<br />
one begins on one of the final ten day of December, within the same<br />
Christian year. <strong>The</strong> hijrî year-beginnings following them move<br />
yearly from this twelfth month backwards to the first month,<br />
coinciding with each of the Christian months. Chart I (on the<br />
following page) shows the the second one of each of the pair of hijrî<br />
years taking place within the same Christian year, i.e. the hijrî years<br />
which begin within the final ten days of December.<br />
<strong>The</strong> beginning of any hijrî year which the chart does not contain<br />
and the Christian year corresponding to it are as many years later<br />
than the hijrî and Christian years written on the chart.<br />
For finding the Christian month corresponding with the<br />
beginning of any of such hijrî years which the chart does not<br />
contain, the hijri year that is closest to it and which the chart<br />
contains is found on the chart, and thereby the Christian year next<br />
to this hijrî year on the chart. <strong>The</strong> difference between the two hijrî<br />
years is added to the Christian year found on the chart. For<br />
instance, let us find the Christian year coinciding with the beginning<br />
of 1344 hijrî: 1344-1330=14; 1911+14=1925. It coincides with July,<br />
which is below number 14 on Chart II.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Christian year with which a certain Christian month within<br />
a certain hijrî year coincides, if this certain month is before the<br />
month with which the beginning of the hijrî year coincides, is one<br />
year ahead of the year found.<br />

eleventh chapters of the fifth fascicle of Endless Bliss.<br />
Before your body goes out of your possession,<br />
Before destiny demolishes your construction.<br />
As the façade and the inner essence are together,<br />
As both the worlds are still in your possession.<br />
Dispel love of the world from your heart,<br />
So that from the world of souls you get information!<br />
Abstain from harâms, engage in doing the farz,<br />
Negligence of the farz will bring you destruction!<br />
