MESSAGES
Ahmed Hulusi,
translated by Ahmed Baki
My Dear friends…
Within a course of time of thirty-five years that
passed since my first book written in 1965, I have been sharing
with you the knowledge granted by Allah, to the degree that I have
been able to write out.
As I could see today, the points of view as well
as the ways of understanding that we have first discussed earlier,
have been appearing in almost all groups of people from that of
the most conservative approach to the “RELIGION” to that with seemingly
the most intellectual, although the signature under such views is
not mentioned, at all.
Let me make it clear once again for those who try
to evaluate the “DEEN” with heartfelt consideration that…
If you are accepting the Deen-i Islam with genuineness,
you should try to leave aside the interpretations that took form
within the circumstances of the past times and try to make an evaluation
of the data passed to us from Hazrat Mohammed aleyhessalaam,
anew under the enlightenment of present conditions and the science
of our day.
THERE CANNOT BE A REFORM IN THE DEEN!… Because
the DEEN is built on the “eternal sunnatallah that is unalterable”.
A REFORM IN UNDERSTANDING THE DEEN,
however, has already began in our age…
Yet, such a reform can never be actualized upon
local approaches to the Deen, though various vicinities assume so!
Approaches to the matter as to “how such and such
an issue could be adapted to our day” by some or other councils,
are incorrect; and never a reform in understanding the “Deen” can
become a reality in that way.
For a REFORM to become a reality in understanding
the “Deen”, it is definitely necessary to take up the matter
from the very beginning and to rebuilt the bases of UNDERSTANDING
the “DEEN”.
The Deen can either be accepted as an understanding
built on the recognition of “a god in sky” and a postman-ambassador
type of prophet along with a book of that god’s imperial commands;
or it can be accepted as an understanding built on “ALLAH”, “RASUL”
as explained in the Koran and the “BOOK” that explains the system
based on it and every issue is placed into its proper place under
such an evaluation.
If the “DEEN” is taken based on an acceptance of
“a god in sky and his postman-ambassador type of prophet on earth”
and so a reform of understanding is tried [to be achieved] upon
such an acceptance through seeking local solutions for problems,
then we should know it with certainty that the monstrosity which
will come out of such an effort, will never be found worthy of thinking
and taking under consideration by any reasonable person.
Without taking the “SPIRIT of the Koran” as a basis,
all of the approaches brought up for consideration will bring formalistic
and unreasonable further approaches beyond comprehension and logic
at the basis of the words and letters of the imperial commands
from a sky-god. And this will bring nothing other than supplying
the idiots with a support for their claim that “belief is an
acceptance without reasoning”(?!)
We should see that…
The Deen-i Islam has not been communicated to a
group of people by a prophet sent by a god with the purpose of imposing
an understanding of a God Manitu or an ilah on their tribe
in order to make them straighten up with the fear of a beating!.
“Deen-i Islam” is the “DEEN” at the sight of Allah
and is the only recipe of liberation for mankind!… It explains the
dimensional system of the universe at the degree that it applies
to man!. But it is impossible for the fool to grasp that reality!.
On the other hand, even the most intellectual groups
in Turkey haven’t yet gotten to a point of taking the “Deen-i Islam”
from its basis and of understanding it within the accompaniment
of reasoning and logic at all levels under the enlightenment of
science.
The “DEEN” is therefore never taken up for consideration
with a questioning and investigation as to what, why, how; and
inconsiderate acceptances without reasoning are experienced with
an “IMITATIVENESS” that if someone known said it, it is true!.
In all of them, the approaches to the issues are
local approaches and the issue is never taken up from its
basis.
In just the same way as the blinds feel an elephant
by its different organs and give judgments about its body with respect
to by where they have grabbed it!
Never can an advancement be made with the deception
and consolation of “99 percent Muslim community”!. This is nothing
other than a self-deception and consolation!.
Let us know it with certainty…
BELIEF DOES NOT ACCEPT IMITATION (taqlid)!
Nobody can be a believer (mumin) unless
he or she consciously accepts the issues of “faith” (that requires
iman) with comprehension. Imitative acceptances will never
bring any benefit in connection with the hereafter. With a understanding
of god-manitu-ilah, neither the Deen-i Islam has been admitted,
nor a “faith-belief” (iman) has been experienced.
Unless all these points are explained to people
in the most clear way, and unless this fact is recognized, a “reform
in understanding the DEEN” can never become a reality.
What Muslim communities are in need of, is in fact
nothing other than knowledge (ilm). Muslims need to give
up living with the expectation of a “savior”, “mahdi” and
ready-made recipes of liberty and should turn toward science (ilm),
questioning (inquiry), thinking and understanding (grasping) the
realities.
As long as a people do not honestly question, explore
and comprehend the actuality of the “DEEN” and the SYSTEM and the
ORDER It is built on, that is the “sunnatallah”, they will
have done nothing other than wasting their lifetimes upon vain debates
with frivolous (trivial) matters and will experience nothing other
than a disappointment at the end!.
Before concluding my words, let me also highlight
this point that the SYSTEM I have tried to explain can never be
understood by reading only one of my books.
It is necessary to read all the books of Ahmed
Hulusi if one wants to learn his point of view… Because, every book
is of the same effect (can be considered) as the different sections
of a single book that explains the SYSTEM and ORDER created by Allah,
communicated under the name of “DEEN-I ISLAM” with the understanding
and language of our current day. And…
My thoughts, evaluations and my point of view as
far as required by general public are available in my books and
tapes.
I am stating all these as my last messaging with
the general public.
With the honor of becoming an author of readers
by millions, I am putting an end to my life of writing today, and
withdrawing to my village within a peace in my conscience for being
able to do my hands’ and my mind’s best and for being able to communicate
people the facts that Allah made me aware by Hu’s grant (lutf)!.
In addition, as I have conveyed my “Messages” to
you through this book, that I have published in my web site titled
“ALLAH SUFISM ISLAM”, I am also closing my Internet activities.
Certainly, above each one who knows, there is always
someone who knows better.
I revere those with respect who know and live above
levels of our writings, and I embrace the ones with love who do
not know; and I wish heartfelt “Salaam of Allah” for everyone.
May Allah be our Muin.
