The Muslim Ummah was absolutely united upon the subject for many centuries after the advent of Islam, and there was no controversy about the question of honouring Saints of Allah. There was absolutely no dishonouring or disrespect shown by any party.

Unfortunately, the hidden and obvious hand of cunning and shrude imperialism made it a controversial subject among the Muslims. They spent time and money and endeavored hard to achieve their ugly cause and they did find a group of ill natured, ignorant and unaware people to fulfil their long-awaited desires.

Now, they are happy that they have at least succeeded in bringing into existence a band of people around for their nasty aims of creating gulf among the Muslims of this era. So, this is the first time that this topic has been made a point of dispute and controversy, whereas you will find clear cut Qur’anic and Prophetic versions about honouring of these pious group of men and women.

Allah honoured them with the title of Auliya’ Allah in Qur'an, and the Prophet (S) too did what Allah had done. So where lays the difference? Yes, of course, only those differ upon this very much crystal-clear subject who have their own axe to grind or those who are simple minded, blind followers of the former ones and the conscious or unconscious followers of the imperialism.

Once I had a discussion, with an American imperialist doing research in Islam over this topic, he did not agree to it and said you have made blaming others an escape goat for your own failures. I proved it to him by facts and figures that No! You are the people who created these differences. Who was Lawrence of Arabia? What did Sir Humphrey do in Turkey and Arab Lands? Why do you not open your eyes to see these historical facts? How could you deny history? How could you refuse to admit your own doings?

So dear Muslims and neutral unprejudiced readers! Now, this is for you to go into the details of the past events and discover what role the western imperialism played in creating social, cultural, racial, religious lingual and other differences among the simple-hearted Muslims.

The time is ripe for the world of Islam and Ummah to get united for defeating the ambitions of enemies. This book can be a guide and inspiration to the unprejudiced minds, which are ready to probe into the realities, facts and figures.

Hoping that the sincere effort made by the learning and research secretariate of the mission of the gracious leadership's station will knock the doors of the truth loving hearts and show them the torch of reality by washing off all the effects of the black satanic propaganda of imperialism and its stooges.
