to the Third Edition: The war years have had a blighting effect upon printing industry as upon every other sphere of peace time activities. Scarcity of paper and paucity of other printing facilities made it well-nigh impossible for new publications to see the light of the day or old ones to bring out a reprint. Now that the situation has eased, though only a little bit, I take this earliest opportunity to present this third edition of this little book. The stress and strain that the world war No. 2 brought to almost every home throughout the world as well as the trail of wreckage, moral as well as material, which it has left behind baffling all attempts at rehabilitation, lend added point to a publication like the Golden Deeds of Islam. The writing on the wall is now too clear to be missed by the most material-minded sceptic that if humanity is to re-discover the path of peace and human fellowship, it must reorient its entire outlook on life and instead of the materialistic pre-occupations which have monopolised its hand and heart, it must set up and regulate life according to moral and spiritual values of life. The Golden Deeds of Islam, is an attempt to emphasise and extol these very values and hence no moment could be more opportune than the present one to set this third edition of this book in circulation. So far as the substance of the contents of this edition goes, it remains unchanged. But the language has undergone considerable retouching and brushing up in many places which should make the book more readable. My thanks are due to Messrs Dar-ul-Kutub Islamia Limited, Ahmadiyya Buildings, Lahore, for coming forward, in these hard times, when the pinch of printing disabilities still continues, to enable me to place this third edition of the Golden Deeds of Islam in the hands of the public.
