It is reported to be the manifestation of religious harmony among various faiths in Punjab as it was translated from Arabic by a Sikh scholar, Sant Vaidya Gurdit Singh Alomhari of the Nirmala tradition, with money and other arrangements for its publication made by two Hindu businessmen, Bhagat Buddhamal Aadatli and Vaidya Bhaga, and a Sikh, Sardar Mela Singh Arif.
