In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
"Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds and may God's salutations be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny, and His curse be upon their enemies."
Thanks to God for granting me the opportunity to accompany and associate with an assembly of scholars and the intellectuals (may God support them). One of them is the prominent and pious scholar, possessor of brilliant thought and genuine wisdom, Mr. Mirza Ja`far Subhani Tabrizi (may God help him in pursuit of His pleasure and increase the likes of him). His Eminence has made a great effort in gathering and explaining my humble words in my discourses, being so well-organized and stylish. Praise be to God, all these efforts have been turned into a book containing important issues.
I ask God, the Exalted, for his success in completing the rest of the discourses and striving in the path of truth and guidance.
