السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاتهUstadh, following up on my note taking question, since you’re translating the book from Arabic to English and adding extra notes, I usually add those notes too. I meant how can I best retain the main body of the book without rewriting what’s already in the text?

Ustadh AbdulAziz al-Haqqan

By having the text in front of you and underlining what is important, and adding notes that are not in the text that are important above the text or so
