The literal meaning of the title of this book is "Two Thousand (Explanations) in Describing the Masters of the Two Realms".


  1. Main Theme: This book discusses the virtues, noble attributes, spiritual degrees, and theological status of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the Ahl al-Bayt (the holy family of the Prophet), who are referred to in the terminology of this book as Sadat al-Kawnain (Masters of the Two Realms).
  2. Document Contents: Hafiz Rajab al-Bursi is renowned for his writing style that weaves together traditional narration (Hadith), elegant literary and poetic expression, and an 'Irfani (Islamic gnosticism/mysticism) approach. In his works, he frequently unveils the esoteric secrets behind the virtues and miracles of the Infallibles (al-Ma'sumin). This book serves as an important reference in the literature addressing the spiritual ranks and manaqib (virtues and hagiography) of the Prophet's family.
