Firstly.-A class of deceivers who in order to attract the people to themselves wilfully invent doctrines, creeds and faiths and put the people to troubles and cause disunion amongst them.

3rdly. A class of people who are deceivers and also deceived; they are those who having themselves faith in the sayings of another induce others to adhere to them.

"Be not after the injury of any being and do whatever you please. For in our way there is no sin except it (injuring others)." (Hafiz).

These few sentences, short and useful according to the opinion of this humble believer in God, have been written without any regard to men of prejudice and bigotry, with the hope that people of sound mind will look at them with a just and corrective eye.) I have left the detail of it to another work of mine entitled. Manazarutul Adyan,* "Discussion of Various Religions."

Here ends "

A present to the believers in one God."

* Manazara is a work in the form of a dialogue in which two or more persons are introduced to discuss a given subject.
