Dear Irshad Alam,

as-salamu 'alaykum. At first, I didn't realise this was a new set of translations. Herewith a couple of sentences, all I
can manage, I'm afraid, in view of my poor health and lack of energy..Do you anywhere specify the edition of the
Persian text you have used? No one comes to mind for writing a more extensive introduction; I have been out of
touch with Giv Nassiri for some time.

"This is the second volume of translations of the Maktubat of Imam Rabbani made by Sufi Irshad Alam, together with
copious annotation. It is more systematic than the first, and the quality of the translation is also superior. It is
recommended to all those interested in the Maktubat who are unable to access the original Persian. I look forward to
his translations of the rest of this important work."

wa 's-salam,

Hamid Algar
