在翻译本书时，EI-Falah 的工作人员尝试研读并分析同一领域已出版的一些书籍，以求译文前后一致。尽管原书采用的是早期穆斯林学者所用的文体与措辞，译者们也只能先消化理解、再加以转述，然后以简明的英文结构进行翻译。因此，我们感谢我们的译者们。

In translating this book EI-Falah staff members attempted to study and analyze some books published in the same field in order to be consistent. Although the book was written in the same style and wording used by the early Muslim scholars, the translators, in turn, have nothing but to assimilate, paraphrase and then translate in a simple English structure. Therefore, we are indebted to our translators:

Abdul-Hamid A. Eliwa 阿里·M·萨维 Wa'il A. Shehab Mahmud AI-Qastawi 我们对编辑 Jeewan Chanicka 深表感谢，本书内容正是在他的指导和监督下逐步成形的。

Abdul-Hamid A. Eliwa Ali M. As-Sawi Wa'il A. Shehab Mahmud AI-Qastawi Great appreciation is due to our editor, Jeewan Chanicka under whose guidance and supervision the subject matter took form.

我们感谢朋友、同事和教授们提供的宝贵建议和帮助，也感谢他们让我们学到了许多有益的东西。

Our gratitude goes to friends, associates, and professors for their valuable advice and help and for many useful things we have learnt from them.

事实上，这本书作为一部灵修讲论所带来的益处，早在它送交印刷之前就已开始，因为它将我们即将前往的归宿展现在我们眼前。

In truth, the benefit yielded from this book as a spiritual sermon began before it was sent to the printer's as it puts before our eyes the abode, which we are going to.
