Sinner In the Holy Light By Ghazanfar Sheikh

The respected readers can read this book with the satisfaction that there is nothing self-fabricated. The purpose of bringing this book before you is only this much, that if by reading this, in the heart of a sinful human like me, a longing arises to take forgiveness from his Absolute Creator and to attain His proximity, then what struggle and effort he can do to find his destination. For which I have placed all the conditions and events of my journey of light before you. Passing through which, by the grace of God, I became embraced with success.

The very first stage of this journey is connecting one's spiritual relationship with the Benevolent Lord and accepting sins, after that repenting from the depth of the heart for the future, and then the petition for forgiveness. The mercy of the Merciful Lord is boundless. The Holy Quran and the Holy Gospel are telling this same thing, that when a human completes this process with sincerity of heart, then Allah Almighty forgives him. Therefore, in this writing, I will first describe those sins of mine which throughout life remained a burden on my heart and mind and kept pricking inside me. And I could never recover from them. After confessing these sins, I will describe those deeds and actions due to which, according to my inspiration, the Merciful and Benevolent Lord forgave me. My request to the respected readers is that my actions and deeds should not be attributed to my self-praise. Because I have placed every good and bad before you.

After this, my journey of light starts, the length of which spans over seventeen years. Walking and walking on this bright path, finally, I succeeded in reaching into that circle of light which was my intended destination, Alhamdu-lillah.

In the third part of this book, titled "Versus Government," I have highlighted the deep-rooted ailments of our society. My purpose is that perhaps this writing will succeed to draw the attention of the authorities toward these evils, enabling them to take decisive action to eradicate them.
The final section of the book, "Faded Memories," consists of incidents of my life that I was unable to include in my previous book, "Struggle, Success and Stumble"

Although I initially intended to seek a formal critique of this work from linguistic and literary experts, I decided not to spend time on that process. Instead, I have left the task of evaluation-both criticism and praise-to my readers. Their feedback will serve as my guide for the future, if God wishes.

Andaz-e-bayan agarche buhat shokh nahi hai
Shayad ke utar jaye tere dil mein meri baat

"Even though my style of expression is not very attractive,
Perhaps my words will find a way into your heart."
