I Am A Fundamentalist

I wonder if you have ever noticed, “I am a fundamentalist.”

My external (zakhir) fundament (root) reaches to RasulAllah.

My interior (batin) fundament arrives at ALLAH.

Islam, the Deen at the Sight of ALLAH, is my Deen. Words (kelam) of ALLAH are my Book.

I am only a reader and a writer! I read the Book of ALLAH as I could.

In accordance with ordained capacity to understand, I try to explain Islam, that is the Deen at the Sight of ALLAH.

My being belongs to ALLAH inwardly (at the Batin). And I speak to “people” (halq) outwardly (at the Zakhir).

I prostrate myself (sajda) to ALLAH Who is the Lord of universes and I am aware that I am “nothing” within the SYSTEM.

I have been honored by being Hu's servant. My service to entire humanity and any creation without any discrimination as it was foreordained for me, I appreciate as the best of gifts.

I have neither a right to judge, assess or command and direct people and any creation, nor it is my duty, since I am “abdullah!” Ordainment (taqdir) and command —ruling— (hukm) belong to ALLAH, the Lord of universes.

Yes... I am a fundamentalist! I serve to make the revelations of RasulAllah known by everyone... This is the point where my mission ends! Because I am fundamentalist, I am not “on the surface.”

I enthrone (revere to) the rule “communicate, it is your only duty; you are not a compeller over them!” and it is my crown.

I listen, read and benefit from everyone who came after RasulAllah, as much as I can; but my only absolute source is the KitabAllah and RasulAllah.

I feel affectionate toward anyone without any discrimination and serve them as my duty, no matter whoever they are, whichever path and understanding they have, whichever community they belong to and whatever race or nation they regard themselves as a part of. Because, I am fundamentalist!

The Deen at the Sight of ALLAH is my Deen.... My faith (iman) is nothing other than certainty (iqaan) from now on! Yes... I am a “fundamentalist!”

My sight, observation arises from “Al Basir” (The Observer) from the origin!.. If “Hu” does not will, I cannot observe... My perception arises from “As Sami” (The Evaluator)! If “Hu” does not will, I cannot perceive...

Effectiveness of my speaking and writings arises from “Al Mutakallim” (The Expressive)! My knowledge is revealed only by Hu's “graciousity” (lutf) and ordainment (taqdir).

Fundamentalist I am!.. I share what I have learned from RasulAllah with everyone without any discrimination. The rest is not my problem! I do not exert any pressure concerning practice or acceptance! I am a fundamentalist!..

I know my place. I do not set myself up to be a pioneer, a leader, a hodja, a master or a sheikh... I only share what I was informed. Because, I am a servant, and it is not proper for me to set up and pretend mastery over “Hu!”

After all, as I have mentioned, I am a “fundamentalist!”

I know and try to make known that the most precious thing in life is writings in the KitabAllah, and is also to be able to READ it, to comprehend and to live under the guidance of its requirements. I also know and make known that, it will only be possible for those whom ALLAH decreed and made it easy. For that reason, I do not condemn anyone for being wrong, imperfect, deficient, faulty (incomplete), knowing such matters is the Creator's Ordainment, I just never mind and do not dwell on them...

It is therefore that I am authentically true, sincere “fundamentalist!” I sincerely wish that ALLAH may enable every human being to attain at the “fundamentals of the Deen,” and that they realize the SYSTEM and the reality at the Sight of ALLAH and construct their own future most beautifully, so that they may enter for Paradise!

Forgive me for I am saying “I” so frequently, this is just a necessity of expression. As I have already stated, “I was informed that I am still NOTHING!”

Because, I have “read” the KitabAllah to a degree that was decreed for me!

To “READ!” To read “WHAT?”
