Technical Note: Due to the limitations of optical character recognition, the extensive footnotes in the body of the text had to be omitted; I have manually inserted a few parenthetical notes, particularly the references to the Qur'an.
In addion, Arabic characters are written using # signs throughout;
I may add Unicode entities at some point.
