27 Preface بِما غَفَرَ لي رَبّي وَجَعَلَني مِنَ المُكرَمينَYusuf Ali“For that my Lord1 has granted me Forgiveness and has enrolled me among those held in honour!”This man was just a simple honest soul, but he heard and obeyed the call of the prophets and obtained his spiritual desire for himself and did his best to obtain salvation for his people. For he loved his people and respected his ancestral traditions as far as they were good, but had no hesitation in accepting the new Light when it came to him. All his past was forgiven him and he was raised to dignity and honour in the Kingdom of Heaven.
