The Translation of "Hazar Hikmat (A Thousand Wisdoms)"
Tags:
Millions of thanks to Allah that [the book] "Hazar Hikmat" has now been translated into the global language. This momentous feat has been accomplished by my great friend, whom I cherish like my own soul, even more than that. The reason for this is that he is a great devotee and a distinguished scholar of true knowledge. It is this universal attribute that has endowed him with many other virtues and qualities. He is a great asset to the nation, a treasure of knowledge of the exalted Imam, a repository of Pirs, a model of living books, an incomparable pearl of the ocean of knowledge, unparalleled in his time in high ambition, a moth of the lamp of the light of Imamat, a sign of the success of friends and a signet ring of the sovereignty of pen. This elegant mention is of Dr. (Ph.D.) Faquir Muhammad Hunzai sahib.
The personality in terms of knowledge of his esteemed life partner Samsam Rashida Noormohamed-Hunzai is very astonishing. Every one of her lectures is a real scattering of flowers and pearls. If a fortunate person wants to present knowledge in the choking voice of the miracle of Mawla's love, they should learn this unique skill from her. But this is not a skill; it is a miracle, and a Divine gift. Such pure souls and such great angels have come to this world from the higher world (calam-i culwi) so that together they may spread the light of Qur'anic knowledge and wisdom on the planet Earth, al-hamdu li'llah.
We are extremely pleased with the ever-increasing progress in knowledge of all the cazizan of Markaz-i cIlm-u Hikmat, London. However, this is an occasion to appreciate Zahir Lalani, Record Officer, Life Governor, Chief of Material Science Institute (MSI). He possesses many qualities and has rendered many services; therefore, he is going to have a golden and glorious history. Dr. Faquir Muhammad Hunzai sahib and Samsam sahibah praise him highly. I am sure that my dear Zahir Lalani has spiritually become an angel of the time for his service to knowledge. God willing! His house is now going to become a hub of knowledge.
New Dedication: The honour of sponsoring this pleasant book goes to three virtuous families of Atlanta. The first family is: Mukhi Nizar Ali Ali Bhai, LG; Mukhiyani Almas Nizar Ali, LG; Nayab Nizar Ali, LG; Hina Nizar Ali, LG; Saba Nizar Ali, LG. Second family: Nasiruddin Khanjee, LG; Khairunnisa Nasiruddin, LG; Hina Nasiruddin, LG; Kashif Nasiruddin, LG; Komal Nasiruddin, LG. Third family: Sultan Ali Ladjee, LG; Shawkat Bano Sultan Ali, LG; Azeem Ali Sultan Ali, LG.
There is no doubt that every useful book is an evergreen and fruitful orchard of the paradise of knowledge, from which countless faithful men and women will continue to acquire the fruits of intellect and soul. Thus, those who render service to knowledge and wisdom will (God willing) continue to receive the reward and recompense of this noble deed.
Friendship and love based on faith and knowledge are unique and eternal, and it is indeed a great blessing of God. By God's grace and mercy, this bounty increased manifold during my visit to Atlanta. Students' love works like a telegram. True students are as dear as one's children, and in this lies a great wisdom, al-hamdu li'llah!
