The Twenty-Ninth Letter

[The Twenty-Ninth Letter consists of Nine Sections. This, the First Section, contains Nine Points.]

In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate.

And there is nothing but it glorifies Him with praise.

My Dear, Loyal Brother and True Friend in the Service of the Qur’an!

This time in your letter you want an answer to an important question which neither my time nor my state of mind permit me to answer.

My brother! Praise be to Allah, this year the numbers of those writing out the treatises have much grown. The copies come to me for the second correction, and I am busy speedily doing them from morning to evening. Other important jobs remain undone. But I consider this duty to be far more important. In the months of Sha‘ban and Ramadan in particular, the heart takes its share rather than the intellect, and the spirit becomes active. Postponing this most important matter to another time, I shall write it to you gradually whenever my heart is inspired by Almighty Allah’s mercy. For now I shall explain three Points.1
