Up to date Understanding of Religion

Ahmed Hulusi, translated by Ahmed Baki

My Friend,

You are going to meet with some new ideas in this booklet. It is our sincere hope that you may reflect upon them as free from prejudice as possible, make investigation and discuss with intellectual minds around yourself to find out the truth. The rest is up to you alone. For our part, there is none other than respect for your decision.

My friend! According to the latest contemporary scientific data explored by two of the world's most respected scientists, Neurophysiologist Karl Pribram at Stanford University in the USA and Physicist David Bohm, a protégé of Einstein's, The true NATURE of the Universe is a “WHOLENESS,” that is ENTIRELY COMPOSED OF quanta energy and DESIGNED HOLOGRAPHICALLY".* In the same way, human brain is a substance composed of waves of frequencies, that operates also holographically... “Death’ is nothing other than the survival of consciousness through a transition from one level of hologram into another.”

Human brain sculpts a type of “luminous body of frequencies” (body of light), that is known as "spirit" (ruh), by means of converting the bioelectric energy gained from the analysis of nutrients into sort of a luminous energy (frequencies). At the same time, the brain not only records all its mental activity onto that “luminous body” in form of frequencies (as meaningful waves), that it sculpts hereby, it also spreads out them all over space.

Since each person’s brain constructs his own “spirit,” the view known as “reincarnation” which argues that a spirit reenters a physical body after its transmigration from one, is absolutely a baseless view. (Reincarnation is a Hindu belief in origin.)

The Koran, Holy Book of Islam, portrays “death” as an event to be “tasted” and emphasizes in the Chapter of Mu’minun, (signs 99-100) that it is impossible for a human being to come back to earth by rebirth, once the death is tasted...

Let us return to the point of Holographic Universe for more, back again... Experimental evidence has shown that subatomic particles, that compose our physical universe, move as ghostly images and possess what appears to be holographic property. One of he thought-provoking findings Bohm determined is that the subatomic particles are thoroughly interconnected with each other. Such an interconnection indicates that the universe viewed as composed of “parts” is in fact organized by a basic WHOLENESS.

It means that subatomic particles are not independent things and are not separate from one another. Behavior of the parts are actually organized by an implicate deeper order as a whole. After all his determinations, Bohm arrived at the conclusion that “the universe is a kind of giant hologram.”

Based on the hologram principle, every particle of the universe fully contains every quality observed in the whole universe. That is, every portion of the universe enfolds the whole. Everything in the universe is part of a continuum and each thing fully enfolds the properties of another thing, and it is even the same “another thing.” The reality so beyond “our own concept of world” has a wholeness undivided, unbroken and unfragmented into parts.

Bohm explained his new findings of QUANTUM PHYSICS in his new field what he called the QUANTUM POTENTIAL, a new dimension:

- At the subquantum level, the level in which the quantum potential operates, location ceases to exist. All points in space became equal to all other points in space. We call this property “nonlocality.” All of space, all particles are nonlocally interconnected.

- Just as every portion of a hologram contains the image of the whole, every portion of the universe possesses the whole information. This means that the information is equally embedded in the whole “nonlocally” as a whole.

All these explorations reveal a reality that there cannot be a “GOD-OUT-THERE” residing in some places of space!

Besides, according to the Koran, the Holy Book of Islam, “There is no god, there is ONLY ALLAH alone,” and that ALLAH is AHAD (Chapter of Unity, 112:1), meaning the single ONE unbroken into fragments, pieces or components. The existence of a separate second being beside HU’s existence cannot be thought, and HU’s wholeness cannot be assumed as a totality composed of “parts” or “pieces.” In consideration of this fact, pantheist view never refers to what is denoted through the name “ALLAH”.

Everything as abstracted out and viewed as separate things in the level of our perception originates from within the existence of ALLAH; however, Hu’s wholeness is not a totality of many things. There is ONLY “HU” in reality. The observation of multiple reality of everything in the universe is an illusion and an imagination resulting from the perceptive capacity of the observer, from the way he looks.

The basic reality being an undivided WHOLENESS has appeared as “a multitude,” which is an abstraction standing out in our perception by our way of viewing the universe, by making “attributary separateness” within the capacity of observers according to Hu’s will. In absolute reality, there is only ALLAH alone, and nothing outside Hu’s self...

At the holographic level of quantum, all things are actually inseparably interwoven, and life and consciousness are enfolded throughout the totality of the universe. Dividing the universe up into living and nonliving things also has no meaning.

There are countless numbers of dimensional levels of existence and intelligent life forms in the entire universe; each being composed of various waves of frequency. We, the humankind, do in fact form only one of those countless dimensional levels of such a multilayered holographic universe.

In every level of existence in the universe, life keeps going eternally in constant transformations from one dimension into the other. However, there is no absence for any individual that has once existed. Once that a human being is an existent intellectual unit, his life will continue for ever, passing through levels of different dimensions.

The last Rasul Hazrat Mohammed aleyhessalaam has communicated this universal truth through the science that came to him from within his own TRUTH that is ALLAH, by means of READING the System, and emphasized the ONENESS of ALLAH 14 hundred years before our day, so as human beings should not worship any gods. He emphasized that human beings will continue their lives after a transition from the dimension of biological body to a dimension, a realm of spirit bodies (that is sort of a luminous dimension).

Besides, he explained the necessity of achieving some practices referring to the fact that the preparation for such a level of life can only be made during one’s lifetime in this world, and suggested people some proposals about it!

The Rasul has already forewarned people and completed his duty IN THE NAME OF ALLAH. Nobody after him has an authority to speak or to judge IN THE NAME OF “Allah.” Everybody can speak ABOUT “Allah” and ABOUT the Deen at the level his science allows him but never IN THE NAME OF ALLAH!

The Prophet's proposals are for human beings, whose lives will continue beyond death, and not for any States or Governments! In the life after death, there is not any State, but persons as individuals. The Deen has come so that “people” should prepare themselves for the conditions of life beyond death.

The Deen (Religion) has nothing to do with the States, Governments and political regimes. It never addresses to States. Religion holds persons responsible individually, not any State or any Government. And every person as an individual is responsible directly towards the Rasul Mohammed Mustafa aleyhessalaam, who communicated the Deen to us; no one being responsible towards any other person, any establishment, community or society, no matter whatever religious title, career or fame they bear.

With reference to the Koran, “there shall be no compelling, no compulsion” in the Deen of Islam.

The proposals have already been provided for persons to benefit them in the life beyond death. He that follows them with a peaceful heart shall do it to his own good, he that gives no heed to them, shall do so at his own peril taking over its consequences in the life beyond death. Pressure and compelling give rise to hypocrisy, therefore they have not been allowed in Islam.

The proposals offered in Islam are not a “software package” as that one should either obey them to the full, or not at all. This is completely an out-of-Islam type of understanding and interpretation. Each person practices as much of them as he can to his benefit, and the rest is his personal loss.

There is no people's class of religious authority in the Deen-i Islam. No matter what religious identification or term of address one holds, nobody can interact between a person and the Rasul who made the communication. Nobody is required to follow anyone besides the Rasul. The Deen of Islam is by no means in the monopoly or in the registration of any person, any establishment. Each person is in need of learning his own religion adequately from the original sources as it is and practice his understanding as much as he can. If a person has been misinformed, he is responsible for this and therefore cannot have an excuse for it.

All the practices known as ibadat, which were passed onto us through the Rasul, are completely based on scientific realities. They are never aimed at pleasing the heart's desire of a god off in the heights above, afar off (beyond) us. Allah, who made the universe existent out of nothing, is not in need of any one's practice. Just like the food you take are aimed at supplying your physical body’s needs, the practices called as ibadat (prayers) are related to the needs of your life beyond death. They are related to the “knowledge” and “energy” that your brain power records onto your, in a way a luminous body of frequencies, that is your spirit.

The practices that are carried out can be divided into two as physical and mental within the context of their benefits. Benefits gained physically empower mental activities and subsequently expand the brain capacity, and thus empower the person's spirit.

Constant repetition of words, a practice known as “zhikr,” makes you realize the universal qualities, that are the meanings of ALLAH names, which existed holographically in your own being, through expanding your brain capacity. It increases brain capacity and energy. For instance, the repetition of the word “Mureed” in a certain number of times a day, which is the Name of Allah's quality of being “will,” increases the person's will-power. The repetition of the name “Quddus” in addition to the name “Mureed,” results in a person quitting all sorts of his malicious habits. High tempered, rowdy, heart-breaking, excessive people lacking in self-control and persons of a nervous (tense, irritable) temper dissolve to a tolerant character shortly after they start repeating the Name “Haliym.” All these come true as brain cells are programmed in corresponding frequencies produced in the brain. This fact was scientifically proved as a laboratory experiment recently and it was published in an article with the signature of John Horgan in the December 1993 issue of “The Scientific American”.

The more a person's brain capacity is increased, the better he realizes and knows ALLAH as being the truth of the attributes that unfold through himself.

“ALLAH” is not a god afar off, but is the name of the Great One (Akbar) who brought everything into existence from within Hu’s own being, WITHIN Hu’s own knowledge (ilm) through Hu’s knowledge, while there existed nothing. In the hologram system, Hu exists fully in every particle; put in Sufi (Tasawwuf) terms, “Hu exists in every point with all Hu’s Attributes (Sifat), Names (Asma) and Hu’s Essence (Zhat).”

At the extent we could broaden our brain capacity by way of carrying out practices on this path, we will realize and find ALLAH within our own beings, and attain Hu within ourselves...

There are countless types of intelligence within countless levels of wavelengths in the universe. Some types of those live beings that live on a subtler level of reality occupying the same space as our world, has been named as “jinni” in the Religion. They deceive humans whom they associate with, commonly by introducing themselves as “aliens or UFOs” coming from outer space, and/or as the spirits of deceased people and even of saints (awliyah). The most common trick they play is to impose people who follow them, the idea of “reincarnation”, that is a Hindu acceptance and is defied by Islam. Their ultimate desire is to render human beings pass away into the luminous dimension of life beyond death with impotent luminous bodies, that is, powerless spirits; so that they may easily obsess and capture humans in that dimension. To reach this, jinni always keep people conditioned to such ideas as to cause people keep away from the teachings of the Koran.

Witchcraft and Magic are endeavors completely out of Islam. The Koran rejects them.

The Rasul set the first basic principle as follows:

“Make it loved, do not arouse hatred; Make it easy, not difficult!”

The most serious enemies of the Deen-i Islam are those who, by creating a religious impression, show the requirements as utmost difficult and make people lose interest and stay away from Islam, Allah and Hu’s Rasul. In the life beyond death, they cannot dare to look at the face of the Rasul, even they will not be able to get near him!

Islam is built completely on scientific realities. However, due to the social conditions during the time it came, most matters were to be explained “in parables and metaphors” via symbols along with matching similarities. For this very reason they cannot easily be placed onto reasonable bases in our day and thus they are often greeted with denial. Nevertheless, if it is considered and examined free of prejudice and with a scientific view, it will be clearly seen that Islam involves not only the facts to illuminate the science of our age, but also of ages to come.

It is unfortunate that some people of superficial interest in this matter, choose to waste their brief lifetimes with chit-chats in prejudiced manners about matters concerned with the physical life of the Prophet which is built on the circumstances, traditions and customs of that age, instead of discussing the facts in scientific or intellectual dimension.

For our part, it is important to appreciate the events carefully in a realistic way!

We should consider what a great reform it was for the Koran to set a limit of a maximum of four wives in a community in which, before the Koran was revealed, a man could possess unlimited numbers of women and sell, even inherit them for his sons such as his property!

How can a normal intelligent person claim the excessive passion of a person for woman, who got married to a forty year old widowed at the age of twenty-five and stayed with her alone for twenty-five years when he was still content with her ever when she was sixty-five and himself fifty?

If one fails to understand and appreciate Hazrat Mohammed’s being “Rasul” informing us of “Allah” as the essence, the origin, the truth of existence; one should, if nothing else, try to understand his eminence in his being “Rasul” performing a service to mediate for the basis of people's happiness in an eternal life beyond death . . . so as one should put aside the chit-chat of the matter.

We should realize the fact that such an eminent person has not been sent to establish a world sovereignty or to establish a Religious Government, to bring an economical or social order, briefly, to provide a worldly sovereignty, a wealth for people.

Nobody's race, language or color, be him whomever, has any importance at his sight! The foremost thing he is concerned with is the fact that in case people could not understand the reality of life beyond death because of ignorance, they will have to suffer greatly as a result of their failure to prepare for that future life adequately...

Yes my friend!

Modern man is one who is open to information (ilm) and to the new, who listens and reads without prejudice, feels free to discuss over his ideas, and who examines matters at logical integrity.

The Deen-i Islam within its original context has a peculiarity to address to the modern intellectual man. If so, you should do research and appreciate the Deen-i Islam through the works of contemporary intellectuals and thinkers who prepared them unconditionally, free from commercial anxieties.

In this booklet, we have tried to communicate some of the information about religious teachings in a highly summarized way based on the explanations of the Rasul and the Koran in association with parallels in the contemporary scientific data. You can in fact find answer to all possible questions about these facts in all details in the books that we have written.

We hope that, when we face the realities tomorrow, we shall not regret of our lifetimes past here because of what we have lived in this world and what we have not.

May Allah make us realize and comprehend the truth of life.

And may Allah make it easy for us!

* A hologram as reported in scientific publications, is a three-dimensional image. It is produced with the help of a laser light is split into two separate beams. The first beam is bounced off the object to be photographed. Then the second beam is allowed to collide with the reflected light of the first. When this happens they create an interference pattern which is then recorded on a piece of film. To the naked eye the image in the film looks nothing at all like the object photographed and is composed of irregular ripples known as interference patterns. However, as soon as the film is illuminated with a bright light source, a tree-dimensional image of the original object reappears. Unlike normal photographs, every small fragment of a piece of holographic film contains all the information recorded in the whole. The image is often so convincing that you can actually walk around a holographic projection and view it from different angles. But if you try to touch it, your hand will waft right through it and you will discover there is really nothing there.
