This is a very old book which was written by Hadrat Amir Khusro about the speeches (malfuzat) of advices and discourses of his spiritual master Hadrat Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya in following two parts. 1. Afzal al-Fawaid 2. Rahatal-Muhibin and these books were translated from Persian into Urdu language and the first time I am translating these books into English in the global edition. This translation of the most ancient and celebrated Persian old books on Sufi'ism will, I hope, be found useful not only by the number of students familiar with the subject at first hand, but also by many other readers. This is very lengthy book and it is available in two volumes as stated above and in 'Hast Bahist' series in which there are advises and instructions, especially available for Taleb (student) and it refers to a person who is committed to a Murshid (spiritual master) in a Tariqa (spiritual path) of Sufism and it is also known as a Salik (Arabic: سَالِك‎), a mureed is an initiate into the mystic philosophy of Sufism and all these details of advices by the spiritual master Khaja Nizamuuddin auliya are added in this book. And also in this book there are some great achievements which are not yet known to the general person are published in a very interesting style so for this reason the readers will find great interest and attention in this matter. From the above facts and details, if the readers will starts reading this book's first page and will not stop its reading till they will reach its last page as in this book some interesting events and as well as other great miracles and endeavours of holy saints are added and these holy saints have passed away from the world some 1,000 years ago. Even though this is very lengthy book, but due to its importance it is so great due to coverage of many interesting events and positive information in it so it is like an ocean of the knowledge and information of the holy saints and who have passed away from the world upon doing their great endeavours and many hard tasks for the preaching and propagation work of Islam in the foreign lands so this book is very lengthy but it will present the ocean of knowledge and information for the guidance of people towards the right path of Islam.
