The first volume of these blessed letters was arranged and compiled by Hazrat Khawaja Muhammad Ubaidullah, known as Murooj al-Shariah. The initial compilation began in Sindh and later reached completion in Salam. Over time, handwritten manuscripts continued to circulate through careful transmission. After nearly two and a half centuries, the original Persian version of the first volume was printed for the first time at Matba Nizami Kanpur, though it later became rare.
This Urdu translation was prepared by Hazrat Maulana Syed Zwar Hussain Shah (رحمة الله عليه), a respected scholar and author of several notable works including Umdat al-Fiqh, Zubdat al-Fiqh, Umdat al-Suluk, and Hayat Saeediyah. His translation presents the spiritual depth and scholarly wisdom of the original Persian text in accessible Urdu, enabling a wider audience to benefit from its teachings.
The letters discuss themes of spiritual purification, adherence to Shariah, inner reform, and guidance for seekers on the path of Tasawwuf. They reflect a balanced approach that integrates outward religious practice with inward spiritual discipline. Scholars and students of Islamic spirituality continue to value this collection for its clarity, depth, and historical significance.
