Transcriber’s Note: This text makes use of an uncommon system for transcription of Arabic. Italics, sometimes on a single letter (highlighted in red here, but not in the text!), are semantically meaningful; and you’ll need a font that can display macrons (āēīōū) and the characters for the transliterations of Arabic letters ain (ʿ) and hamza (ʾ).
