Thank God, finally we can complete the translation of a book critical of Sufism in the work of Shaykh 'Abdul Qadir al-Jilani qaddasa God siirah titled "Sirr al-Asrar wa al-anwar mazhhar fima yahtaju ilaih al-Abrar'.

This book is a translation of an Arabic book, edited by Khalid Muhammad 'Adnan al-Zar'iy and Muhammad Ghassan Nasuh' Azqul, based on seven manuscripts, namely:

a. Manuscript Library al-Asitanah with the title: s irr al asrar wa Mazhar al-amwar fima yahtaj ilaih al-Abrar, number 5707.

f. Manuscript Dr al-az-Zahiriyah Pole with the title al-Tasawwuf fi book number 3789.

We have attempted to present a close translation word for word, to include the Arabic script. It was intended that the reader can also enjoy the Arabic script is hard to come by in our country, besides giving more space for readers to provide constructive correction of this book is based on the original book.

It's our hope that this book delivers the reader to understand the teachings of Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani sirrah qaddasa God that has not been dissected, and to understand and practice the teachings of Sufism that comes to the Book of Allah, sallallahu Sunnah, sayings and deeds of the scholars as inheritors of the prophets.
