Materialistic Muslimism

Some of Muslims would be able to understand the “Deen-i ISLAM” better if they would free themselves from the influence of materialistic (physical-worldly-sensual) thinking. They will comprehend the magnificence of dimensionality within the explanations of the “Deen-i ISLAM” and will become aware of the SYSTEM that the DEEN instructed.

What do we mean when we talk about Muslims getting freed from the influence of materialistic thinking or viewpoint?

The interpretations of “Deen-i ISLAM” has come till this day mainly through two forms:

1. The ideas of the “people of truth” (haqiqat) who have traveled on the path of Sufism (tasawwuf) and have made their findings known through different methods of expression...

2. The ideas of those hodjas who have spent their lifetimes worshipping a “god-afar-off” and influenced people to do the same, while lacking the awareness of the science, culture and insight gained from Sufism. Since they could only respect the physical level of existence within the limits of their eyes and ears (perceptive organs' sensibility) and could not go beyond the physical level for an estimation of the world outside of material, they regard human being as only consisted of a mere bone-dry physical body and a spirit which is sent(!) into it afterwards...

The first group has already grasped the message in the words of RasulAllah that “your bodies are your spirits and your spirits are your bodies” and became aware that man is an “ideational being” or being of consciousness beyond physical and spiritual. They have then perceived and have become aware that the ultimate being belongs to “ALLAH” alone and then experienced the outcome of such an understanding. Furthermore, having perceived that the entire existence is an illusion and the individual separateness is nothing but a product of the observer's own characteristics, they explained this fact ages ago saying that “the universes are originated from an imagination”... Advancing one step beyond this even, they have witnessed that entire qualities of all beings are available in every particle (every particle enfolds the entire qualities of all beings), in parallel with RasulAllah stating some 14 hundred years ago that “a particle mirrors (enfolds) the Whole.”

What state did the Western science reach now, after 14 hundred years?

Getting into the depth of solid matter, at the beginning of 1900's it was discovered that the matter is composed of atoms. Today, however, it is understood that whatever has been known as matter, did not really exist and it is due to the observer's perceptive capacity (standpoint) that a world of interconnected atoms appears as a world of separate individuals and solid material substances...

As it was recently explained by Karl Pribram, Ph. D., a neurophysiologist at Stanford University (who runs Brain Center in Radford at present), the brain cells are centers of interpretations of various frequencies and brain operates on a hologram principle!..

Around the same dates, University of London Physicist David Bohm, a protégé of Einstein's, also discovered that the objective universe as we observed, is basically structured like a hologram in his researches on Quantum Physics... All those findings were collected by Michael Talbot and published in a book.

All those findings provided the following:

“Our brains mathematically construct objective reality by interpreting frequencies that are ultimately projections from another dimension, a deeper order of existence that is beyond both space and time.”

For Pribram, this synthesis made him realize that the objective world does not exist, at least in the way we are accustomed to believing.

What is “out there” is a vast ocean of waves and frequencies, and our brains pick abstractions out of that ocean and convert them into familiar objects that make up our current world. We have discussed that subject in details in our previous book “THE JOURNEY OF THE ONE.”

Many ages ago, Awliyah of ALLAH, who attained reality through assets known as “kashf” and “fateh,” have indicated the same reality via the following statements: “The worlds are originally an imagination (the actuality of the worlds is just an imagination).” “It is only ALLAH Who existed and everything that is observed besides is a shadow of Hu!”

Those are from the determinations of contemporary science in which the concept of “material” is not even respected... and the metaphorical implications of Islamic Sufis, who also mentioned the same realities many ages ago!

Yet, despite all these, Muslim religious(!) mentors(!) today, who have not heard the least bit of those facts, and who try to understand life only from a materialistic perspective limited in physical level, are quite many...

Those materialistic Muslims, while being unaware of the dimensional depths and stations, try to find seven sectional layers in the sky on hearing the statement “the seven heavens,” who imagine that RasulAllah flew over seven layers of sky and met with a god-up-there, upon hearing “RasulAllah reached beyond the seven heavens during Miraaj (Ascendance).” who never realize that the inner characteristics of subatomic dimensions were referred to with the term “heaven.” Those materialistic Muslims who try to understand the “Deen-i ISLAM” within a view of five sense-based time and space concepts.

They are my dear innocent Muslim brothers and sisters who consider metaphors as the “reality” (haqiqat) itself and seek for the reality within the “metaphors!”

We must get rid of “Muslimism” which is based on a “god” concept afar-off, far away from yourself, a concept that developed under the influence of materialistic philosophy; and reach the point of true understanding of the “Deen-i ISLAM” as the universal SYSTEM and ORDER of ALLAH, and then live the effects of such an understanding. Therefore, we must purify ourselves from the misinformation that has imprisoned us into cocoons...

Let us bring together the latest findings of the scientific world with the perspective and the system of thought explained in the works of Sufi Attainers who have deciphered, revealed the mysteries in the “Deen-i Islam.” Thereupon, let us try to understand what the Religion means at the sight of “ALLAH” and let us live under the guidance of such understanding as possible as we could...

The first sign revealed to RasulAllah is “iqraa.” RasulAllah and the Koran advise human beings first to “acquire knowledge!” The notification that “Believer misses (seeks) Wisdom and gets it wherever finds” shows us that science (ilm) from whatever source it may be, should be appreciated.

Keep far away from those who forbid asking questions!

You will never come back to this world and will never have one more opportunity to acquire science if you have not done it this time.

According to us and our studies, it is principally impossible to understand and appreciate the “Deen-i ISLAM” with a materialistic, formal, imitating and conditioned approach. Knowledge is a must (fard) for every Muslim. Not by mechanical memorization but with comprehension should it be acquired...

There is only one way to achieve this: to be a fundamentalist! And, I AM A FUNDAMENTALIST!
