The translator's note All Praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon Muhammad and his pure progeny. I had the pleasure of getting familiar with the honourable manager of Ansarian Publications whom I greatly admire for his services to Islam, in the Holy City of Qum where I have the honor of teaching at Azad University. It was Mr. Ansarian who encouraged me to translate into English the Persian version of Allameh Helli's Odatto-Daee, a book which greatly appealed to me due to its spiritual content. This is my first experience of the kind. Therefore, I hope the spirituality of the book will make up for the poor translation. Hence, experts' comments are welcome by the translator so as to be considered in the future editions. The translation of this book is dedicated to the pure souls of my parents, may their souls rest in peace for ever. Towards the end, I would like to express my thanks to my dear friend, Mr. Ali Karami for his excellent typing of the book and his admirable patience. Aghili Ashtiani
