Now after this, Muhammad Ismail (rah), hopeful of the mercy of God the great, says that the knowledge of God in summary, is the seed of trees of obedience to Him and is the water of the meadows of goodness; and in details, this knowledge is the fruit of gardens of worship and the summit of the orchards of good deeds.

A band of devotees has stirred up for the achievement of that knowledge and the champions among the people competed with each other in a race of it. And why not, when the people always throng around the sweetest fountain?

Among them Sufis proper, are the foremost and supreme. No champions have ever succeeded in reaching their goal, even though they availed of a variety of means and sought the help of many a thousand.

Thus, whosoever likes to listen to their news and desires to follow their footsteps, then let him do so, because they are such people that he who sits by them does not go wretched nor their ally entertains any fear from them, as they do not break their word nor are they ever stigmatised in their course of conduct He who holds his hands out for rain will find them filled with it. Man is certainly found in the company of him whom he likes.

The true guide (God) led me to the ways by means of which certainty and truth are acquired. In consequence, I succeeded in studying two small books Al-lamahat and Al-Sata’at and other smaller books like them which were composed by Al-Shaykh Waliullah, may God shower on us from his blessings.

He is undoubtedly the best of investigators (Afdal-ul-muhaqqiqin), the pride of those who probe deep, a protection for the philosophers, a leader of Gnostics and one who is more informed of god than them.

I came to learn from those two books, Al-Lamahat and Al-Sata’at what the people like us are entitled to, and came to understand what men like our type are fit for.
I have derived diverse profits and various kinds of benefits and such useful points which Al-Shaikh Al-Akbar, the chief of the mystics, their leader, their head and their scout failed to catch hold of.

He (shaikh) is, no doubt, the swollen sea of knowledge, the most learned scholar and the illustrious imam. Even Imam Rabbani, that unique Al-Shaikh Ahmad, the chief saint lost sight of those points in the course of his search after the realities.

However, I availed of the truth which God made him to reveal. He has raised him to perform the duty of directing and guiding the people to the right path. Through him He illuminated the hearts of the devotees and by him He renovated the community and Religion.
