Translation of Title Page, First Edition
A Guidance for the Righteous
I have received glad-tidings from the Unseen
That I am the Reformer of this faith and the Guide.
I am the Messiah, and proclaim aloud,
That I am the Vicegerent of the King of heaven.
What a time! What an age! And what blessings!!!
If you remain bereft, how very unfortunate you are.
May I be disgraced if in my heart,
I have any desire other than that of the Beloved.
A Lecture by the name of
Islam
