PUBLISHER'S NOTE
The English version ofthe Islahi Khutbat. has been
published by Darul Isha'at Pakistan. This is solely because
of the Favours of Allah on us and the prayers of our
mentors.
This is the translation ofthe reformative speeches of
Mufti Justice Mawlana Muhammad Taqi Usmani may
Allah prolong his benefits over us. He has been given
these lectures for about ten years every week at the Bait ul
Mukarram Masjid, Karachi. Those who attend these
lectures gain much knowledge theoretically and
practically. I, too, attend these lectures and have been
deriving much advantage. These lectures are being
recorded on audio cassettes and books are published
subsequently. These cassettes and books cater to those
who understand the Urdu language.
We at Darul Isha'at desired that an increased number
ofpeople should benefit from these lectures. Allah helped
us get these books translated into English and publish
them and He also provided us the necessary means.
Al-Hamdu-lil-laah, after six years of continuous effort a
Discourses On IslamicWay Of Life (Vol.IV) 8
complete set ofthese books is available to the readers. Let
our readers remember that these books have been
translated from oral lectures of the honourable Mufti
Justice Mawlana Muhammad Taqi Usmani and not from
his writings.
They may, therefore, find in them the style of the
spoken words that the translator may have retained here
andthere.
We have endeavoured to match the get up ofthe
books with their invaluable contentand have paidduecare
in the use of paper, printing and binding. We hope that
this set ofbooks will be very useful to our readers in
Europe and the United States. They will gain beneficial
knowledge fromthese books and be prompted to put their
knowledgeintopractice.
Insha Allah they will find a great change in their
everydaylife.
We have published many books in English and
many more are under preparation. Do write to us for a full
list ofthese books.
Finally, I request my readers to remember me in
their prayers as also my parents and family members. May
Allah rewardthem.
