This Book, despite its small size. holds tremendous effect and benefit.It analyzes a specific topic in Sufism (Tasawwuf), namely, the existence of [1] our master, Abul-Abbas al-Khidr- [The Green Wise-Man], and providing his being alive or dead. It presents the opinions of those for and against it, with their proofs, as well as prophetic hadiths about it. Moreover, this book investigates the existence of [2] one specifif category of Awliya' (saints), and how many of them exists, and where do they exist in the world. This Books also investigates [3] the other categories of Ahl al Diwan (May Allah's Good Pleasure be upon them!) such as: the Nujaba (the Nobles). the Awtad (the Spiritual pegs), the Aqtab (the Axial Saints), and the Ghawth (the Supreme Saints), and the Ghawth refers to one specific individual who resides in Mecca Mukarrama.
This category of people-the saints-are those that Allah SWT has hand-picked from amongst His creation, and are the focal-point of Allah's SWT Gaze of Mercy. Those who constantly Praise Allah SWT, and send salawat on the master of the universe, Muhammad (ﷺ) , in the thousands, each and every day. Those who endlessly see out master, the Prophet ﷺ, while asleep (manam) and while awake (yaqazatan). Allh SWT has purposely concealed them in His creation because of His protective-Jealously (ghayrat) for them.
So this is a book that deserves to be read, and success will be attained by those who carefully study its secrets. And all praise is due to Allah SWT, Lord of the Worlds.
