These are the contents of the bestseller of Erzurumlu Ýbrahim Hakký, Sunni sectarian Muslim. The book, written two a half centuries earlier, is still in vogue among the believers. Even muftis have praised this religious mania. Its editors have extolled its author in their prefaces. The author did not verify the truth of his hallucinations calling them “evidences proven by experience.”
