“ Then, addressing the angel they would explain: "We amassed wealth through honest means, and the performance of our obligatory duties, we spent in the Name of Allah and did not misappropriate a single penny."

There, their deeds will have failed and their works will be void." Koran, Chapter 11 verses 15 - 16.

“ It is mainly due to the effort of Imam Marwan, a distinguished judge, that a mere acquaintance between myself and the honorable Sardar Mu'tamadul Mulk Amin-ud-Daula has ripened into a deep friendship which is dearer to me than if he were one of my nearest relatives, for he is the greatest mystic in the mystical movement of today and one of the greatest mystics in the history of Islam. ”
