The reason why it is so valuable is solely because it is based on naql [conveying the religious knowledge that has been communicated by Islamic scholars without making any changes], not on personal thoughts.
It is a compilation from hundreds of precious religious books, and these source materials are available in many libraries. However, most of these books have not been translated into other languages. For this reason, it is almost impossible for readers to find and get benefit from them. Why honey is a unique substance stems from the fact that it is produced by deriving the nectars of different flowers. So is the case with the book Endless Bliss. For example, when you guide people who demand a religious book to a big library, you will have advised them not one certain book but thousands of books. In the same way, Endless Bliss is one book at face value, but in reality it is an extraction of a wide range of books.
If we have a look at some comparable ‘ilm-i hâl books on the market, we will see that when they quote the answer of a religious matter correctly from a book, they, somehow, do not give reference to the fiqh book and its page, let alone the erroneous pieces of information they contain. Astonishingly, some of them (those ‘ilm-i hâl books) make errors in conveying information from a credible religious book. However, Endless Bliss, basing all its contents on citations from authentic books, has been checked with meticulous care again and again in order to eliminate even a minor mistake, and the writer of this peerless book has diclosed the reference sources together with their pages of all the information in the book.
Those who read this work of great erudition, composed of information gathered from many books of great value such as Radd-ul-Mukhtâr, Halabî, Hadîqa, Maktûbât-i Rabbânî, will have learned necessary issues pertaining to belief and practice through reading mentioned dependable books. In this book, tenets of belief and the creed of Ahl as-sunna are treated in depth and in a manner that everbody can understand easily. Corrupt groups, religions, and beliefs are listed so that Muslims can protect themselves from their harm. After tenets of belief, the five fundamentals of Islam are touched upon exhaustively. This entire book has been prepared according to the Hanafî Madhhab, but the rules in other madhhabs are included when necessary. Besides, imitating another madhhab in case of an excuse, an issue never addressed in any ‘ilm-i hâl book before, has been dealt with thoroughly. In the chapter concerning imitating madhhab, it is explained satisfactorily how Muslims, when they encounter a difficulty in their own madhhab, can carry out an act by way of imitating any of the other three madhhabs.
This unequalled book, which is the fruit of a painstaking study lasting for over 40 years and now in its 103rd edition, has also undegone rigorous scrutiny of specialists from various fields.
It covers elaborate articles on calling spirits and genies and clarifies, too, the true nature of qadâ’ and qadar and whether people can shape their destinies or not, thereby clearing away the confusions in the minds.
